on the topic of consent

(Anonymous) 2025-11-17 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I used to enjoy a few sex pollen fic but I started to notice a trend, at least in the fandom spaces I was in at the time, where they would have all this set up about consent before the sex pollen and then even during the sex pollening they'd have all these thoughts or even conversations on consent to make sure everyone involved (but especially the reader!) knew that it was all okay! And like, why even write sex pollen if you're not into exploring that whole thing of messing with consent and control? Always struck me as odd.

If they were setting it up to explore how people feel about theoretical consent and control versus actual consent and control, that could be interesting. I doubt they are, but I feel like that could be such a multidimensional issue to dig into. Like, if the characters involved had an agreement about somnophilia, but then after being sex pollened, one of them was fine with it because of the discussions for somnophilia, but one ended up feeling strange about the sex pollen episode and had to sort out why.

Ayrt and yeah, I'm with you on that it could be an interesting exploration! Sadly this was not that.

I have a very low tolerance for noncon. When it comes to sex pollen, I don't enjoy the kind where one or both of the characters go completely feral and can't even communicate with each other during, or control how fast and rough they're being at all. Especially if the top goes feral, and the bottom can't do anything but brace and endure, that's way too heavy on the concon element for me.

HOWEVER, there's a lot of ground between "They went into a mindless sexual frenzy," and, "They discussed it thoroughly and proceeded to have sex in a manor befitting of two people creating an educational video on consent."

Even I have a point where I feel like the loving, doting consensual-ness of the sex has been emphasized so thoroughly that it has completely neutralized any sort of erotic tension the sex pollen could have brought to the scene. Like, if the characters have nothing to feel conflicted about, then what's even the point of them being sex pollened in the first place?

This arguably qualifies as decent consensual sex pollen: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8691352/chapters/19925962

This is the sort of thing that makes me wanna be like, "don't worry, author. I'm not going to try to cancel you."

That is exactly the vibe!
