what is a cnc kink

Consensual non-consent (CNC) is a kink or form of edge play in the BDSM community where a person grants blanket consent to one or more individuals to engage in sexual activities, roleplay, or scenes where the appearance of non-consent is present. It is important to note that CNC is rooted in the concept of consent, and it involves pre-negotiation and clear communication between all parties involved. While some people may associate CNC with rape play, it is crucial to understand that CNC is a consensual activity where all participants have agreed to the terms and boundaries beforehand. It is not sexual assault, and it is not about actual non-consensual acts. The use of safewords and clear communication is essential in CNC to ensure that all participants can revoke consent if needed and to mitigate potential risks associated with this type of play. CNC can be a component of a scene or a form of roleplay, and it is important for individuals interested in exploring this kink to communicate openly with their partners, establish boundaries, and prioritize safety and consent.
