CNC
also known as CNC, C.N.C.
Abbreviation for a negotiated practice in which the parties agree in advance to a scene that dramatises the absence of consent.
Definition
Expanded form: Consensual Non-Consent
CNC denotes advanced play in which participants pre-negotiate a scenario that will, once begun, feel non-consensual to one party. The negotiation, safewords, aftercare, and limits sit entirely outside the fiction of the scene itself.
Discussion
CNC is discussed carefully in Lifestyle education because its structure depends on rigorous prior consent and experienced participants.
