In a sexual context, CNC stands for Consensual Non-Consent.
It refers to a type of BDSM play where two or more people engage in scenarios that simulate non-consensual acts, such as force or resistance, but all participants have agreed to the scene beforehand and established clear boundaries, safewords, and rules.

Key Points:
-
“Consensual” means everyone involved has agreed to the scenario.
-
“Non-Consent” refers to the roleplay of resistance or lack of consent, not the actual lack of consent.
-
It’s also known as rape play or forced sex fantasy—terms that require caution and clarity due to their sensitivity.
Safety in CNC:
-
Pre-negotiation: Boundaries, triggers, and desires must be clearly discussed.
-
Safewords: Often used so the scene can stop immediately if needed.
-
Aftercare: Essential for emotional and physical well-being afterward.
⚠️ Important: CNC should never be attempted without full trust, communication, and mutual understanding. It is not an excuse for real non-consensual behavior.
