No criticism to the style of sex, nor the author, nor the scene necessarily because clearly it's consensual.
But I'm still gonna clench my cheeks and look forward to some actual good bedding from them.
Enzo just seems like a bad lay as someone else said in the comments. Like damn at least make your partner feel good or smtg. I've read other "bdsm" BLs and GLs with much more cruelty and dubious concepts than this but at least both participants were enjoying the play. Here, it's literally just Enzo getting his rocks off and leaving my boy high and dry, with a quick ending to wrap things up and "assert dominance".
To each their own though, if you find it hot, then more power to you babes
Its not consensual, though... Enzo is clearly blackmailing Rian. Blackmail for sex=rape.
It's not consensual. Enzo is holding Rian's friend hostage, so the only reason Rian goes along with it is because he has no real choice in that situation. In fact, he even tells Enzo to handcuff him because otherwise he might end up beating the sh*t out of him. That's a pretty clear indication that this isn't something he wants— it's something he's being forced to endure because Enzo has the upper hand.
So even tho Enzo ends up refusing to handcuff him because he wants to humiliate him and see him submitting "voluntarily," and Rian ends up playing along, it still isn't consensual in any meaningful sense of the word. Compliance under coercion is not consent.
Anyway, I agree with you, it's definitely not hot. There's nothing hot or sexy about watching someone suffer through it.
Also, Enzo either genuinely doesn't know how to have s*x (if force and self-gratification are all he's ever known), or he's simply too selfish, rotten, and consumed by his own desires to care whether his partner is actually enjoying it. Either way, it's pathetic.
Also, now that he told Rian he'll be using his ass from now on when having s*x, I hope Rian actually goes and finds someone else to use his ass with, just to show Enzo that not using his d*ck doesn't automatically mean he'll be having it with him !
Wait no you actually right fren, coercion for sexual favours does consist of rape, my bad
congratulations you just described rape.
No you right you right! In my head since Rian is technically going along with being his f buddy I just wrote it off as consent. But indeed he's just being coerced to agree so it is a form of SA, my bad
You're gonna need to take your condescension over to another comment. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Moreovet, simply the lack of mutual enjoyment does not consist of SA, which is what I was chatting about in my comment
Friend, he's crawling off the sheets to get away
Mine does a bodyguard that won’t let him leave, bro’s literally stuck in the situation
“its clearly consensual” this line alone made me stop reading the rest. in what way was that consensual buddy
Next time if you stop reading, just dislike, block me and move on. Because a peek through the replies would show me being reminded that coercion for sex does entail SA and me taking that into consideration and apologising but I digress
Argue with ya momma cuz you can NOT tell me that some of the heavy support behind this isn't rooted in unconscious racism and fetishisation of gay men.
Cuz ain't no way on God's green (well not for much longer) earth that you're fighting tooth and fucking nail to defend this just to see two men hunching.
And before you bring up the, " I read for the plot " or whatever the fuck y'all say in defense, y'all wouldn't ride this heavy for a GL, a straight manhwa or a BL where the leads in question are very unattractive.
And if you're peddling that " but freedom of expression " argument, please, imma need you to get your thumb out ya ass. Artists have BEEN creating controversial art pieces. And no one stops them, matter of fact no one is stopping them. They simply just discover the consequences of controversial art, simple as that. Whoopty fucking doo, oh no I'm receiving flak from the public after coming out with something people might perceive as offensive. Cry me a fucking riverrrrr.
But anywaysssss, to each their own I guess. The author should've kept going with this project, like that, we would've seen who to fw and who not to. cuz I ain't NEVER seen so many people out themselves over a story. Lmao
