I wrote a blog on consent in romance sex scenes a while ago, and someone commented they& #39;d seen a ton of consent granted, and very few examples of an MC actually saying "no, I& #39;d rather not," and the other MC dealing with it. Been thinking on and off about that for a while.
I don& #39;t mean a prenegotiated hard limit, or a minor & #39;stay off the boobs, they hurt& #39; or whatever, but a proper mid-scene major divergence.
There is a reason you don& #39;t see these a lot (beyond the beloved romance sex trope of MC1 knowing by magic telepathy exactly what MC2 wants all the time:
It is a bastard to write.
It is a bastard to write.
I am currently doing this and it has derailed the crap out of a perfectly good scene, and now I have to fix it and show how 1 got it so wrong and why 2 had to speak up and how he feels, and it is awkward as hell for both parties.
I suspect this is an important scene for them and an enlightening one for me, but not going to lie, I am sweating cobs over here.
