![Consensual Non-Consent In Real Life
A 3 panel comic
Panel 1: Kink Negotiation
Blushing Person: I was thinking maybe we could try out some CNC play...
Person #2: Yeah, we can totally try that out, sweetie! We should plan out what we're willing to do!
Panel 2: "The Scene"
Person #2: The sex pollen.... it's... taking over. I... I can't...Hnngg....
Blushing Person: Noo! Please, you have to snap out of it!
Panel 3: Aftercare
Blushing Person: Thanks so much, that was fun. Let's do it again sometime.
[end of comic]
"The Scene" is the fantasy within a CNC framework.
Some fictional works tell a story depicting two (or more) characters following the process of doing CNC kink, just as they would in real life: Consent discussion, Kink negotiation, “The Scene", and Aftercare.

Some fictional works focus on “The Scene only. A framing device is not required, as the fantasy is contained fully within the story. This lets the reader engage in the kink the same way as if they were engaging in “The Scene" portion of the CNC play.

CNC play, and both sorts of fiction are normal and healthy!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e6upvlddlsc3tvmgdci5nmop/bafkreidwbark7hackmvu3yqr5hmyhqhbn6y7dnjxq444naoypfg3qmhei4)
