Consent is one of the biggest hot-button issues in sex and sex-writing. That’s why it can be incredibly hot—or not—when it’s played with. When done well, delving into the gray area of dubious consent can explore the darkest corners of our characters’ psyches. What happens when they’re pushed outside of their comfort zone? How do they react?What do they learn about themselves?
These lines won’t be in the same place for every character. What one character might easily consent to could be over the line for another. Negotiating these treacherous waters can be a sexy part of foreplay, as can playing with consensual non-consent. But what about when the line is crossed completely?When one partner is entirely out of their comfort zone and beyond what they’ve agreed to—can that still be sexy?
Show us what happens when lines are pushed, when lines are crossed, and when characters have to deal with the consequences. For this anthology, we are seeking gay non-con/dub-con
