CNC Top 101

The scene is fiction; the care is always real.

This course addresses the CNC Top role in full: what consensual non-consent play actually requires of the person in the dominant position, how to build the consent architecture that makes these scenes possible, and how to hold the fiction of the scenario while never losing real-time awareness of your partner's genuine state. Six lessons move from orientation through the inner experience of this role, core skills, negotiation, scene practice, and the long-term responsibilities of being a trusted CNC partner.
