Dear Creator Letter
Dear Creator,
Hello! Welcome to my general, catch-all exchange letter. Thank you so much for creating for me! This letter I goes in depth on my general likes, DNWs, and more. I try to be as thorough as possible. There's a lot of things I like and only a few dealbreakers, so if none of this sparks your interest, feel free to go with another idea or something else, as long as my DNWs aren't hit.
I mainly use this journal for exchange letters; I’m mostly on tumblr these days and I’m![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

SMUT LIKES
☆ Physicality. Exploration of sexuality. People using sex as a way to communicate, bond, work through issues (either in a healthy or unhealthy way), project onto others, transference issues. Sex as communication. Any sort of overwhelming “I never thought I’d have this and now that I do, I don’t even know where to start” feelings.
☆ Masturbation and fantasizing about the other character before getting together, mutual masturbation, one character watching the other masturbate, either accidentally or deliberately. Instruction on masturbation.
☆ Inexperience, awkwardness due to lack of knowing what to do, fumbling and messy, imperfect sex. Characters discovering kinks for the first time. I love anything that focuses on sexuality exploration and experimentation, and first times. Budding feelings, insecurities, gay teens feeling different and cut off from their peers, haywire hormones, accidental stimulation leading to arousal.
☆ Any sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy, sex that makes things worse, bad idea threesomes where you think this will fix a relationship but it doesn’t.
☆ Hurt/Comfort sex, grief processing sex, any sort of sex that tries to dull the ache of something psychologically traumatizing.
☆ Messy, badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires. Characters signaling to their partner that they’re in a kinky mood vaguely or through actions (acting out for attention, behaving in a certain way, etc.). Boundary pushing, unaware of limits until limit is hit and still pressing forward, under-negotiated consent. Lack of communication, characters accidentally hurting each other or themselves.
☆ Powerplay and D/s, service kink and getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving. I prefer more casual setups without much negotiation or discussion where one character gets off on being pushed around, getting told what to do, or do service-y things for the other, and the partner gets off on doing the pushing around and they all lean into that.
☆ As much as I love powerplay, I love it more when it includes switching or no set sexual “roles,” i.e. topping from the bottom, doms who like to be penetrated, dominance struggles, bossy subs, antagonism to push their partner around. Anything that explores a struggle for control.
☆ Dirty talk! Anything from the sweet and intense to extremely explicit and filthy. Getting a partner to talk about what they’re into during sex even if they’re embarrassed about it. Making a partner beg and voice what they want. Talking during sex to make the partner flustered, talking to orgasm, using pet names. Poking at hot buttons that tread the line of humiliation, talking about areas of shame in sexual desires. Praise kink! I love it when a character is lovingly taken apart by telling them how good they are or were.
☆ Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.
☆ Sex toys, used either solo or in partnered sex. Any sort of dildos, plugs, vibrators. Sex toys worn clothes and in public, remote controlled vibrators where one character has the remote.
☆ Rough sex and manhandling! I love when characters get pinned against a wall, pushed around, bent over, or used roughly just to get off. Hair pulling, yanking a character’s head back by the hair. Physical contact as foreplay, even and especially when the characters wouldn’t admit they’re into each other. Roughhousing as an excuse to touch each other, playful wrestling that leads to more.
☆ Angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, heat-of-the-battle sex. Ill-advised sex in lieu of working out issues between characters, taking out issues on partner during sex, frantic, make up sex.
☆ All body worship and teasing. Kissing all over the body, exploring all parts of a partner, finding erogenous zones, kissing in unusual places. Edging, orgasm control, sensory overload, overwhelming sex. Overstimulation, being touched immediately after orgasm. Begging to come, sensitive erogenous zones (such as coming only from nipple stimulation for example), multiple orgasms, coming over and over until it hurts, crying during sex, kissing away or licking up the tears.
☆ Any sort of grooming or bathing as foreplay that leads to sex, or sex in the bath and/or shower. Joining partner in the shower to distract them from morning routine with sex. Cleaning up after sex, taking care of partner and being careful around bruises and marks.
☆ Voyeurism, either accidental or intentional. Inviting someone to watch, or fucking for the entertainment of a third party. Phone sex, sexting, dirty long-distance communication. Sending nudes and explicit videos. Masturbating as a show for a partner, partner giving instructions.
☆ Public sex or semi-public sex. Touching a partner under a table, giving oral sex in a movie theater or sex in a public bathroom. Sex outdoors, in parks, in a graveyard. Any form of car sex, inside or on top of a car. Road head. Sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower. Seedy motel sex.
☆ Characters who kink on violence and danger. Arousal from killing or watching someone get hurt. Attracted to dangerous people, i.e. serial killers or monsters. Knowing their partner could kill them or hurt them and getting off on it. Being the leash holder of a monster. A desire to be “hunted” and taken. Gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. Put on display for others, exhibitionism.
☆ I love blood kink and bloodplay! Vampires biting and feeding, menstrual sex, or combined with knifeplay where cutting a partner and making them bleed is part of the sex act. I also like accidental bleeding, as in too rough penetrative sex or biting too hard and breaking skin, or getting aroused by nosebleeds and accidental cuts.
☆ Scar kink, scar worship. Kissing, licking, or sucking on scars. Scarification as ownership or a sign of devotion. Matching scars, important scars. Any displays of jealousy and possessiveness, including PDA and grabbing a partner in public. Leaving hickeys and bite marks in visible places. Scratches and other forms of marking.
☆ Feral or animalistic behavior, especially re: monsters or werewolves. Xenophilia, monster fucking, kinking on partner’s inhuman features, sex with partner while transformed, i.e. sex with werewolf partner’s wolf form. Sensation play with a partner's inhuman outer appearance, like getting off on a scaled body or feeling fur against skin. Any kind of monster sex, really.
☆ Scent kink, breathing in partner’s skin, liking partner’s sweat and body odor. Smelling areas where scent is particularly strong, like armpits or groin. Smelling their hair.
☆ Hand kink, palm and fingers kissing. Finger sucking. Obsessed with what a partner's hands can do. Hands grabbing on tight, nails digging in or scratching. Fingering, slow lazy finger fucking, fingering someone in inappropriate places.
☆ Any and all forms of oral sex. Deepthroating, choking, coming in partner’s mouth. Vaginal fingering during cunnilingus. Tongue-fucking. Ball licking, sucking, rimming. Getting hair pulled while giving oral, recipient pushing giver’s head down and holding it there. Character getting aroused while giving oral and getting off during, either by masturbating, or grinding/rubbing off on partner’s leg. Body worship when giving oral, kissing and nuzzling into a partner's thighs, sucking and biting the skin, leaving marks. Face-sitting, enthusiastically grinding on partner's face, lazy and slow 69-ing. Kissing after oral sex.
☆ Oral fixation in general, kinking on smoking and shotgunning, getting turned on by partner licking a popsicle or lollipop. Stuffing someone's mouth with fingers or objects. Gagging. Hands over mouth. Trying to stay quiet during sex (and maybe failing). Biting lips, biting down on partner’s shoulder. Kissing to keep noisy partner quiet.
☆ Non-penetrative sex: dry-humping, frottage, coming in pants. Intercrural in exchange for penetration, fucking partner’s thighs when they’re bent over or pressed face-first into a wall, coming on thighs. Touching a partner over their clothes or under the table. I like lazy, slow, sleepy, familiar sex where all parties are happy and don’t need anything fancy to make it good. I also like non-penetrative sex framed in a way that’s about the characters being too desperate or too impatient to do anything else, or are young and too inexperienced that any sort of contact gets them off.
☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Bareback. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang.
☆ Come play. Facials. Coming on someone's body, smearing come on someone’s body. Coming inside. Licking come out of a partner or licking another person’s come out of a partner. Sex after exercising or sex after getting physically filthy and not caring. Placing a butt plug inside of a partner to keep come inside. Messy, filthy sex in general, especially if the characters kink on that.
☆ Size differences, contrasting bodies, body hair, kinking on body differences. Size kink.
☆ Consensual or dubiously consensual somnophilia. Oral sex or fucking partner awake. Pretending to be asleep to let someone explore. Having sex with a half-asleep or extremely sleepy partner. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep. I like dubcon somnophilia too, like just assuming blanket permission or poorly negotiated boundaries leading to touching someone in their sleep and the other person isn't aware of it until the morning and feels fucked up about it, or wakes up in the middle of it and decides they’re okay with this person touching them but still wishes they weren’t caught off guard.
☆ Drunk or high sex! I love the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind where one character is sober and unsure if they should do this when the intoxicated character comes onto them (especially if there’s pining involved), or the mutually, sloppily affectionate consensual kind. I love alcohol and drugs lowering inhibitions and leading to situations or saying/doing things they wouldn’t otherwise.
+ Sex pollen! I like characters losing control of themselves due to overwhelming desire and being completely uninhibited during sex, saying and doing stuff they would otherwise be too embarrassed or nervous to do. I like this when the loss of control is portrayed as horrifying, but also when it’s just a fun mishap, or leads to characters who are already attracted to each other to finally act on their feelings, or somewhere in between. I love the angsty fall out of it all, but I also like it when no one’s traumatized after and they realized they enjoyed that more than they thought they would and would maybe like to do it again?
☆ Partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, naked/clothed, undressing each other, tearing clothes off each other, neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay. Crossdressing, either men in lingerie or women in suits. Getting off to smelling someone’s clothes or used underwear.
☆ Competence kink and intelligence kink, characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes, characters admiring the strengths of the other.
☆ Adaptive sex due to injury or disability. Figuring out how to get a partner off in different ways, evolving sexual dynamics due to great upheavals and trauma. Rape recovery and working through contact and intimacy issues.
☆ Tenderness, in sweet sex but also with rough, fucked up sex: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses. Long, slow making out as foreplay. Nuzzling into someone’s palm or neck.
CONSENT ISSUES LIKES
☆ Consensual or dubiously consensual or reaaaaaallly dubcon somnophilia. Oral sex or fucking partner awake. Pretending to be asleep to let someone explore. Having sex with a half-asleep or extremely sleepy partner. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep. Characters who assume blanket permission of their partners, poorly negotiated boundaries, or simply feel entitled to touch them at all times, even while sleeping. Passing out in the middle of sex and the other partner just keeps going. Someone being drugged and sleepy and out of it and just barely aware enough that someone is touching them sexually but not awake enough to do anything about it. People waking up and being horrified. People waking up and being turned on. People waking up and feeling conflicted and violated but not wanting to rock the boat.
☆ Sex pollen! I like characters losing control of themselves due to overwhelming desire and being completely uninhibited during sex, saying and doing stuff they would otherwise be too embarassed or nervous to do. I like this when the loss of control is portrayed as horrifying, but also when it’s just a fun mishap, or leads to characters who are already attracted to each other to finally act on their feelings, or somewhere in between. I love the angsty fall out of it all, but I also like it when no one’s traumatized after and they realized they enjoyed that more than they thought they would and would maybe like to do it again?
☆ Dubious consent due to outside forces, as in: Something Made Them Do It, Fuck or Die, Sex Pollen, Heat Sex, Drugged/Inebriated Sex, Fever Sex. Curses that can only be broken with sex, scenarios where a character is mind controlled or possessed, and made to threaten or hurt a loved one, character turned into a monster and will only turn back if someone has sex with the. Or two parties are forced by a third party for their entertainment or pleasure via blackmail or coercion. Being forced to be photographed or filmed by a third party to create evidence or blackmail.
☆ Crying, dissociation, trauma, either during or after the act. Character coping badly from rape trauma. Characters coping in unhealthy ways. Rape recovery/rape aftermath is welcome for most of my prompts but not needed or necessary but I love trauma and angsty fall outs!
☆ Loss of virginity/first time, virginity kink, bleeding the first time. Virginity checks, fixation on virginity, aggressors excited to take someone’s virginity, victims hating they’re losing their virginity like this, overwhelming sensation/pleasure-pain they don’t know how to process because they’ve never experienced it before. I’m obsessed with first time sex being unwanted sex or sex that no one consented to. I’m obsessed with bleeding and tearing and walking around later still feeling that pain left behind.
☆ Desperation, begging, aroused victims, victims horrified/confused by their own arousal, victims being ashamed of orgasming, forced orgasms, aggressors invested in their victim’s pleasure, aggressors enjoying making their victim aroused against their will, aggressors getting victims off over and over and rubbing it in their faces. Rapists/aggressors who want their victims to genuinely have a good time, for whatever reason. Victims eager and desperate to come and willing to beg or do anything to make it happen and sate their own lust, or to get it over with.
☆ Painful sex that still gets the victim off, either despite it or because of it. Anal without lube or minimal lube.
☆ Victims resisting, fighting back, or mouthing off, defiant victims. Trying to break someone’s spirit, and failing to do so.
☆ Victims taking control and initiating sex, or acting like they’re enjoying it, to maintain some semblance of agency during dubcon/noncon encounters. Especially in long term relationships. Trying to rewrite the narrative.
☆ Aggressor using verbal humiliation and condescending praise to shame and humiliate the victim—-pointing out how much they’re enjoying what he’s being done to them, how shameful it is to get off to their own rape, calling them degrading names like slut and cocksucker. Writing degrading names and words on the body. Praise kink dirty talk that turns degrading.
☆ Public sex. Sex in front of an audience. Sex in front of family members. Sex in front of loved ones. Being forced to watch. Aggressors forcing others to watch as a power play, trying to humiliate their victims. Sex pollen/loss of control scenarios where mxcon happens in front of people because they can’t stop it.
☆ Situations where the victim agreeing to rape to spare someone else, or with bargaining and blackmail/coercion. Characters offering themselves up. Characters offering their body up as a barrier between a bad guy and other people. Characters trading in their body and sex to protect others. Character agreeing to sex to save their own lives, either from the aggressor or from someone worse. Characters being blackmailed into a sexual relationship.
☆ Stockholm/Lima syndrome. Characters, against their better judgement, falling for their rapists/abusers, or growing to identify with them. Victims feeling sympathy for them and empathy, in the midst of self-disgust. Aggressors and rapists falling for their victims, growing empathy for them, even if it’s expressed in terrible ways. Aggressors and rapists treating their victims tenderly, even in or especially in unwanted ways. Falling into a very twisted relationship together.
☆ Forced to perform for an audience, being recorded or photographed. Forced to perform for a camera. Forced to pose for dirty pictures. Dirty pictures and/or video taken of underage characters.
☆ Rape by deception/identity issues. Accidental incest. One party knowing it’s incest and the other not. Deliberately concealing info from another person that would cause consent to be withdrawn.
☆ Psychological manipulation and/or grooming. Parents grooming their children and teaching them incest is normal or their relationship is special. Adult mentors teaching their students all the wrong things.
☆ Gaslighting, illusion of choice, emotional manipulation. Characters feeling like they’re overreacting. Characters not sure if they were violated. Characters with low self esteem being taken advantage of. Character knowing they’re being violated and abused but not caring, because of self-destruction reasons or they’re getting something out of it. Just give me absolute mindfucks.
☆ Statutory rape situations. Underage characters being too young to understand what they’re consenting to. Teenage characters in over their heads. Teens thinking they’re consenting or there’s nothing wrong with what’s happening. Teenagers who just want to please adult characters with sex. Adults convinced they’re not doing anything wrong, this time is special, but they’re not really a pervert. Teenage aggressors/pursuers who don’t realize what they’re doing. Jailbait waits that get cut short. Adults caving into a teenager’s demands/requests and allowing some touching, but not a lot. Adults telling themselves “I’ll only get them off” to convince themselves this is okay. Breaking self-inflicted boundaries.
☆ Guilt (on part of the victim or aggressor). Victim blaming or self-victim blaming. Aggressors feeling guilty but doing it anyway. Aggressors feeling guilty for sex pollen/fuck or die situations and convinced they’re monsters. Guilt on part of older/authority figures for taking advantage.
☆ Possessiveness and obsessive love/affection/feelings. Characters fixated on another, or one another. Monster aggressors getting fixated on a victim. Having someone’s full attention and that being a bad thing.
ART LIKES
Symbolism! Symbolic representations of the character or canon events. Abstract imagery. Tarot cards.
Locations: forests, oceans, abandoned locations, roads, corn fields, diners and motels. Spooky areas/spooky vibes. Grimey settings.

Any smut act I have ever requested.
I’m not fussy on style--I even like chibis! Draw/create in the style that works best for you.
DO NOT WANTS
Unrequested AUs, unrequested ships. V shaped poly relationships. Acknowledgement of canon ships or past canon ships are fine though. Background canon ships are fine. Background requested ships are fine (i.e. it’s okay to write a Reddie fic and put Stan/Mike as a side pairing, because I requested both).
Unrequested noncon. Violent rape. Non-aroused or non orgasmining victims in non con situations. Threats of violence is okay though. Characters too scared to fight back is okay.
Graphic animal cruelty. Non graphic animal death, off screen death, references to how serial killers got their start or monsters eating an animal is fine. That's all fine. I mainly do not want to think about dead pets.
Extreme underage (I am okay with anything 13 and up).
Graphic depictions of child death. Alluded to, or as part of the plot is okay, though. It’s okay to talk about or mention Pennywise eating kids, or reference the aftermath (i.e. the scene in IT where they find half of Betty Ripsom’s body).
Cancer, or any terminal illnesses.
Torture, Saw style death traps. Medical gore/horror. Permanent mutilation/injury.
Oviposition, belly kink/stomach bulges, watersports, scat, bestiality (pseudo bestiality like werewolf/human or xeno stuff is fine).
Deathfic of requested characters unless otherwise specified (I don’t consider it deathfic if someone dies and then comes back in the same fic).

☆ Any sex where emotions are mixed, or difficult to acknowledge, or emotionally hurtful to acknowledge, sex that doesn't heal anybody's deep emotional wounds, moody messy melancholy, sex that makes things worse, bad idea threesomes where you think this will fix a relationship but it doesn’t.
☆ Hurt/Comfort sex, grief processing sex, any sort of sex that tries to dull the ache of something psychologically traumatizing.
☆ Messy, badly-negotiated (or unnegotiated) sexual desires. Characters signaling to their partner that they’re in a kinky mood vaguely or through actions (acting out for attention, behaving in a certain way, etc.). Boundary pushing, unaware of limits until limit is hit and still pressing forward, under-negotiated consent. Lack of communication, characters accidentally hurting each other or themselves.
☆ Powerplay and D/s, service kink and getting off on giving pleasure rather than receiving. I prefer more casual setups without much negotiation or discussion where one character gets off on being pushed around, getting told what to do, or do service-y things for the other, and the partner gets off on doing the pushing around and they all lean into that.
☆ As much as I love powerplay, I love it more when it includes switching or no set sexual “roles,” i.e. topping from the bottom, doms who like to be penetrated, dominance struggles, bossy subs, antagonism to push their partner around. Anything that explores a struggle for control.
☆ Dirty talk! Anything from the sweet and intense to extremely explicit and filthy. Getting a partner to talk about what they’re into during sex even if they’re embarrassed about it. Making a partner beg and voice what they want. Talking during sex to make the partner flustered, talking to orgasm, using pet names. Poking at hot buttons that tread the line of humiliation, talking about areas of shame in sexual desires. Praise kink! I love it when a character is lovingly taken apart by telling them how good they are or were.
☆ Vocal sex, loud sex, unable to keep quiet. Partner kinking on moans, whimpering, mewling, whining. Vocal displays of losing control.
☆ Sex toys, used either solo or in partnered sex. Any sort of dildos, plugs, vibrators. Sex toys worn clothes and in public, remote controlled vibrators where one character has the remote.
☆ Rough sex and manhandling! I love when characters get pinned against a wall, pushed around, bent over, or used roughly just to get off. Hair pulling, yanking a character’s head back by the hair. Physical contact as foreplay, even and especially when the characters wouldn’t admit they’re into each other. Roughhousing as an excuse to touch each other, playful wrestling that leads to more.
☆ Angry sex, fighting-that-leads-to-sex, heat-of-the-battle sex. Ill-advised sex in lieu of working out issues between characters, taking out issues on partner during sex, frantic, make up sex.
☆ All body worship and teasing. Kissing all over the body, exploring all parts of a partner, finding erogenous zones, kissing in unusual places. Edging, orgasm control, sensory overload, overwhelming sex. Overstimulation, being touched immediately after orgasm. Begging to come, sensitive erogenous zones (such as coming only from nipple stimulation for example), multiple orgasms, coming over and over until it hurts, crying during sex, kissing away or licking up the tears.
☆ Any sort of grooming or bathing as foreplay that leads to sex, or sex in the bath and/or shower. Joining partner in the shower to distract them from morning routine with sex. Cleaning up after sex, taking care of partner and being careful around bruises and marks.
☆ Voyeurism, either accidental or intentional. Inviting someone to watch, or fucking for the entertainment of a third party. Phone sex, sexting, dirty long-distance communication. Sending nudes and explicit videos. Masturbating as a show for a partner, partner giving instructions.
☆ Public sex or semi-public sex. Touching a partner under a table, giving oral sex in a movie theater or sex in a public bathroom. Sex outdoors, in parks, in a graveyard. Any form of car sex, inside or on top of a car. Road head. Sex in other places than a bed: on tables, against walls, on the floor, on a chair, in the shower. Seedy motel sex.
☆ Characters who kink on violence and danger. Arousal from killing or watching someone get hurt. Attracted to dangerous people, i.e. serial killers or monsters. Knowing their partner could kill them or hurt them and getting off on it. Being the leash holder of a monster. A desire to be “hunted” and taken. Gunplay, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. Put on display for others, exhibitionism.
☆ I love blood kink and bloodplay! Vampires biting and feeding, menstrual sex, or combined with knifeplay where cutting a partner and making them bleed is part of the sex act. I also like accidental bleeding, as in too rough penetrative sex or biting too hard and breaking skin, or getting aroused by nosebleeds and accidental cuts.
☆ Scar kink, scar worship. Kissing, licking, or sucking on scars. Scarification as ownership or a sign of devotion. Matching scars, important scars. Any displays of jealousy and possessiveness, including PDA and grabbing a partner in public. Leaving hickeys and bite marks in visible places. Scratches and other forms of marking.
☆ Feral or animalistic behavior, especially re: monsters or werewolves. Xenophilia, monster fucking, kinking on partner’s inhuman features, sex with partner while transformed, i.e. sex with werewolf partner’s wolf form. Sensation play with a partner's inhuman outer appearance, like getting off on a scaled body or feeling fur against skin. Any kind of monster sex, really.
☆ Scent kink, breathing in partner’s skin, liking partner’s sweat and body odor. Smelling areas where scent is particularly strong, like armpits or groin. Smelling their hair.
☆ Hand kink, palm and fingers kissing. Finger sucking. Obsessed with what a partner's hands can do. Hands grabbing on tight, nails digging in or scratching. Fingering, slow lazy finger fucking, fingering someone in inappropriate places.

Character getting aroused while giving oral and getting off during, either by masturbating, or grinding/rubbing off on partner’s leg. Body worship when giving oral, kissing and nuzzling into a partner's thighs, sucking and biting the skin, leaving marks. Face-sitting, enthusiastically grinding on partner's face, lazy and slow 69-ing. Kissing after oral sex.
☆ Oral fixation in general, kinking on smoking and shotgunning, getting turned on by partner licking a popsicle or lollipop. Stuffing someone's mouth with fingers or objects. Gagging. Hands over mouth. Trying to stay quiet during sex (and maybe failing). Biting lips, biting down on partner’s shoulder. Kissing to keep noisy partner quiet.
☆ Non-penetrative sex: dry-humping, frottage, coming in pants. Intercrural in exchange for penetration, fucking partner’s thighs when they’re bent over or pressed face-first into a wall, coming on thighs. Touching a partner over their clothes or under the table. I like lazy, slow, sleepy, familiar sex where all parties are happy and don’t need anything fancy to make it good. I also like non-penetrative sex framed in a way that’s about the characters being too desperate or too impatient to do anything else, or are young and too inexperienced that any sort of contact gets them off.
☆ Penetration: hole stretching, hole training. Fingering, coming from just fingering. Bareback. Sloppy lubrication, messy penetrative sex, double-penetration in one hole or in vagina and ass, multiple penetration and spitroasting. Sloppy hole after gangbang.
☆ Come play. Facials. Coming on someone's body, smearing come on someone’s body. Coming inside. Licking come out of a partner or licking another person’s come out of a partner. Sex after exercising or sex after getting physically filthy and not caring. Placing a butt plug inside of a partner to keep come inside. Messy, filthy sex in general, especially if the characters kink on that.
☆ Size differences, contrasting bodies, body hair, kinking on body differences. Size kink.
☆ Consensual or dubiously consensual somnophilia. Oral sex or fucking partner awake. Pretending to be asleep to let someone explore. Having sex with a half-asleep or extremely sleepy partner. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep. I like dubcon somnophilia too, like just assuming blanket permission or poorly negotiated boundaries leading to touching someone in their sleep and the other person isn't aware of it until the morning and feels fucked up about it, or wakes up in the middle of it and decides they’re okay with this person touching them but still wishes they weren’t caught off guard.
☆ Drunk or high sex! I love the emotionally messy, dubcon-y, bad idea kind where one character is sober and unsure if they should do this when the intoxicated character comes onto them (especially if there’s pining involved), or the mutually, sloppily affectionate consensual kind. I love alcohol and drugs lowering inhibitions and leading to situations or saying/doing things they wouldn’t otherwise.
+ Sex pollen! I like characters losing control of themselves due to overwhelming desire and being completely uninhibited during sex, saying and doing stuff they would otherwise be too embarrassed or nervous to do. I like this when the loss of control is portrayed as horrifying, but also when it’s just a fun mishap, or leads to characters who are already attracted to each other to finally act on their feelings, or somewhere in between. I love the angsty fall out of it all, but I also like it when no one’s traumatized after and they realized they enjoyed that more than they thought they would and would maybe like to do it again?
☆ Partially-clothed or mostly-clothed sex, naked/clothed, undressing each other, tearing clothes off each other, neat characters being disheveled for once; casual characters cleaning up nicely, clothes-sharing, choosing clothes for the other person as kink/foreplay. Crossdressing, either men in lingerie or women in suits. Getting off to smelling someone’s clothes or used underwear.
☆ Competence kink and intelligence kink, characters kinking on the skills set of another, i.e. Seth’s admiration/fixation on Richie cracking safes, characters admiring the strengths of the other.
☆ Adaptive sex due to injury or disability. Figuring out how to get a partner off in different ways, evolving sexual dynamics due to great upheavals and trauma. Rape recovery and working through contact and intimacy issues.
☆ Tenderness, in sweet sex but also with rough, fucked up sex: hand-holding, forehead touching, forehead/face kisses, snuggling and cuddling, nuzzling, hugs from behind, neck kisses. Long, slow making out as foreplay. Nuzzling into someone’s palm or neck.
☆ Consensual or dubiously consensual or reaaaaaallly dubcon somnophilia. Oral sex or fucking partner awake. Pretending to be asleep to let someone explore. Having sex with a half-asleep or extremely sleepy partner. Giving permission to use their body to get off when asleep. Characters who assume blanket permission of their partners, poorly negotiated boundaries, or simply feel entitled to touch them at all times, even while sleeping. Passing out in the middle of sex and the other partner just keeps going. Someone being drugged and sleepy and out of it and just barely aware enough that someone is touching them sexually but not awake enough to do anything about it. People waking up and being horrified. People waking up and being turned on. People waking up and feeling conflicted and violated but not wanting to rock the boat.
☆ Sex pollen! I like characters losing control of themselves due to overwhelming desire and being completely uninhibited during sex, saying and doing stuff they would otherwise be too embarassed or nervous to do. I like this when the loss of control is portrayed as horrifying, but also when it’s just a fun mishap, or leads to characters who are already attracted to each other to finally act on their feelings, or somewhere in between. I love the angsty fall out of it all, but I also like it when no one’s traumatized after and they realized they enjoyed that more than they thought they would and would maybe like to do it again?
☆ Dubious consent due to outside forces, as in: Something Made Them Do It, Fuck or Die, Sex Pollen, Heat Sex, Drugged/Inebriated Sex, Fever Sex. Curses that can only be broken with sex, scenarios where a character is mind controlled or possessed, and made to threaten or hurt a loved one, character turned into a monster and will only turn back if someone has sex with the. Or two parties are forced by a third party for their entertainment or pleasure via blackmail or coercion. Being forced to be photographed or filmed by a third party to create evidence or blackmail.
☆ Crying, dissociation, trauma, either during or after the act. Character coping badly from rape trauma. Characters coping in unhealthy ways. Rape recovery/rape aftermath is welcome for most of my prompts but not needed or necessary but I love trauma and angsty fall outs!
☆ Loss of virginity/first time, virginity kink, bleeding the first time. Virginity checks, fixation on virginity, aggressors excited to take someone’s virginity, victims hating they’re losing their virginity like this, overwhelming sensation/pleasure-pain they don’t know how to process because they’ve never experienced it before. I’m obsessed with first time sex being unwanted sex or sex that no one consented to. I’m obsessed with bleeding and tearing and walking around later still feeling that pain left behind.
☆ Desperation, begging, aroused victims, victims horrified/confused by their own arousal, victims being ashamed of orgasming, forced orgasms, aggressors invested in their victim’s pleasure, aggressors enjoying making their victim aroused against their will, aggressors getting victims off over and over and rubbing it in their faces. Rapists/aggressors who want their victims to genuinely have a good time, for whatever reason. Victims eager and desperate to come and willing to beg or do anything to make it happen and sate their own lust, or to get it over with.
☆ Painful sex that still gets the victim off, either despite it or because of it. Anal without lube or minimal lube.
☆ Victims resisting, fighting back, or mouthing off, defiant victims. Trying to break someone’s spirit, and failing to do so.
☆ Victims taking control and initiating sex, or acting like they’re enjoying it, to maintain some semblance of agency during dubcon/noncon encounters. Especially in long term relationships. Trying to rewrite the narrative.
☆ Aggressor using verbal humiliation and condescending praise to shame and humiliate the victim—-pointing out how much they’re enjoying what he’s being done to them, how shameful it is to get off to their own rape, calling them degrading names like slut and cocksucker. Writing degrading names and words on the body. Praise kink dirty talk that turns degrading.
☆ Public sex. Sex in front of an audience. Sex in front of family members. Sex in front of loved ones. Being forced to watch. Aggressors forcing others to watch as a power play, trying to humiliate their victims. Sex pollen/loss of control scenarios where mxcon happens in front of people because they can’t stop it.
☆ Situations where the victim agreeing to rape to spare someone else, or with bargaining and blackmail/coercion. Characters offering themselves up. Characters offering their body up as a barrier between a bad guy and other people. Characters trading in their body and sex to protect others. Character agreeing to sex to save their own lives, either from the aggressor or from someone worse. Characters being blackmailed into a sexual relationship.
☆ Stockholm/Lima syndrome. Characters, against their better judgement, falling for their rapists/abusers, or growing to identify with them. Victims feeling sympathy for them and empathy, in the midst of self-disgust. Aggressors and rapists falling for their victims, growing empathy for them, even if it’s expressed in terrible ways. Aggressors and rapists treating their victims tenderly, even in or especially in unwanted ways. Falling into a very twisted relationship together.
☆ Forced to perform for an audience, being recorded or photographed. Forced to perform for a camera. Forced to pose for dirty pictures. Dirty pictures and/or video taken of underage characters.
☆ Rape by deception/identity issues. Accidental incest. One party knowing it’s incest and the other not. Deliberately concealing info from another person that would cause consent to be withdrawn.

☆ Gaslighting, illusion of choice, emotional manipulation. Characters feeling like they’re overreacting. Characters not sure if they were violated. Characters with low self esteem being taken advantage of. Character knowing they’re being violated and abused but not caring, because of self-destruction reasons or they’re getting something out of it. Just give me absolute mindfucks.
☆ Statutory rape situations. Underage characters being too young to understand what they’re consenting to. Teenage characters in over their heads. Teens thinking they’re consenting or there’s nothing wrong with what’s happening. Teenagers who just want to please adult characters with sex. Adults convinced they’re not doing anything wrong, this time is special, but they’re not really a pervert. Teenage aggressors/pursuers who don’t realize what they’re doing. Jailbait waits that get cut short. Adults caving into a teenager’s demands/requests and allowing some touching, but not a lot. Adults telling themselves “I’ll only get them off” to convince themselves this is okay. Breaking self-inflicted boundaries.
☆ Guilt (on part of the victim or aggressor). Victim blaming or self-victim blaming. Aggressors feeling guilty but doing it anyway. Aggressors feeling guilty for sex pollen/fuck or die situations and convinced they’re monsters. Guilt on part of older/authority figures for taking advantage.
☆ Possessiveness and obsessive love/affection/feelings. Characters fixated on another, or one another. Monster aggressors getting fixated on a victim. Having someone’s full attention and that being a bad thing.
