〝 How does crit pro-c define consensual and nonharmful contact? 〞
For this let’s establish a term for the object or person of attraction when it comes to contact as “receiving party” just for simplicity.
Consent﹔Consent is defined as giving approval, so either the receiving party must have a way to communicate approval (not always verbal), or wouldn’t require it due to being unaffected by an action (such as contact with objects or the fictional). If the receiving party can be affected by an action (emotionally or physically harmed) but does not give approval, it is non-consensual and should not be supported.
Nonharmful﹔Harm includes both the emotional/mental and physical harm. If a receiving party has consented to harm, this can be ignored. However, if conditions to an agreement are changed without disclosure to a receiving party, this can likely be considered harmful and abusive, and therefore not supported.
Consent and agreements here can apply to a dynamic, not just a singular event with the receiving party.
With these conditions, here’s a good example of what would be versus what would not be supported:
Not Supported: An act of literal rape by a biastophile, where the receiving party never gave explicit prior consent and did not give conditions to allow for a gray area with the acting party.
Supported: A biastophile going through with a fantasy after discussing conditions with a receiving party. This could include anything from engaging in cnc to working out a consensually abusive dynamic.
This term was created by someone who opposes the idea of “enthusiastic consent” and believes people have the right to agree to things for reasons beyond their own enjoyment.
