Tag Archives: the noncon discussion

Idk, I sort of associate non-con with ‘sexual act without consent within relationships’ where neither participants think of it as rape (but it is). Ofc unless we’re talking about consensual non-con, that’s a different thingI think words like ravish, seduce, coax into bed, rail, any other innuendo etc. would be more appropriate. My guess is that it’s either anti speaking or someone who genuinely doesn’t understand implications, maybe someone young or new to internet sex related terminology. Keep in mind that not everyone who writes in English is native English speaker, it’s possible they learnt word wrongly

Yeah, absolutely. Like I said, its just something that sounds clunky and awkward to me. Takes me personally out of the moment.

Its also that I don’t associate “non con” with a single specific action or activity, since I think of it as one of many tag warnings. Like okay, they’re doing something sexual that’s non consensual, but what? My brain doesn’t add anything XD

I absolutely don’t want to shame anybody who uses it, I’m just an old guy who doesn’t “get it”.

Maybe I’m just used to seeing noncon as a verb, but I have always read it as like. the shortened version of “non-consentually touch”. Some people also just see “rape” as a dirty word, I guess noncon feels more. polite?

Fair enough. Could easily just be a case of me being an old man and not liking the new slang lol. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Rape is definitely a dirty word (for a dirty action) but like I guess I feel like, ravish, take, force seduce, etc are right there…

To me “non con” will always be a genre/tag/warning, short for “non consensual”. So my brain just expands it out to “I want him to non consensual me” which sounds hella odd in my brain.

absolutely throws me out of the moment when someone uses “non con” as a verb and synonym for ravishment/sexual force in a sentence.

“I want x to non con y” sounds clunky as hell, unappealing as hell, and frankly, like you’re too young to be discussing the concept if you can’t use the actual words.

I also get suspicious that the person saying it is a secret anti posting bait but I know that’s my anxiety talking.

EDIT: Lol maybe I’m just an old man. Wouldn’t be unusual.
