The Fine Line between Dub and NonCon,
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk on the Subtleties of How Stef Likes Her Fictional Dubcon.
I've decided to try and figure out where my line between "I'm fine with this" and "Please, don't" lies. It might help me writing better letters for Exchanges and hopefully will help potential creators. This will be an ongoing work in progress as new scenarios might stumble into my attention. For now, I think it's easiest to set up a scale from Oooh, yes, scratch this little iddy spot good to Oh, no, that's entirely not for me.
Generally, I prefer if the victim draws some kind of "enjoyment" from the scene, even if they'd never admit to it or have been mindbroken into loving their situation.
1 That Iddy Sweet Spot
Always a very enthusiastic yes please.
- Take me instead
Iddy Spot go Brrrrrrrr.
This doesn't even have to be sexual. Just someone taking the place of a captive.
- Sex-Pollen-Adjacent
Includes any outside source that makes the characters feral: Aphrodite Boon gone wrong, weird pollens in the jungle, double moons causing weird essence fluctuations…

3 Maybe
These really depend on the exchange and what I feel like at that moment. Unless I've opted in, better steer clear of those scenarios.

4 Possibly Maybe?
Another category that needs explicit opt-ins. Not sure if I'll need it, but more finetuning options can never be wrong.
