They may also deal with themes of trust. Since the concepts involve a certain level of surrender or control, trust between the characters becomes a crucial element. It can be shown through how the characters communicate and rely on each other within the framework of their relationship, but again, this is from a non - inappropriate perspective.
You could read adventure stories where characters might be trapped in a cave or on an island. For example, 'Robinson Crusoe' where Crusoe is restrained to the island in a sense. It's a great adventure story without any bdsm elements.
BDSM content is not suitable for general promotion. Instead, you could explore stories in the fantasy genre that have elements of restraint in a more acceptable and non - adult - oriented way, like some tales of characters being magically restrained in a battle against dark forces in a fantasy world.
BDSM and non - consensual themes involve inappropriate and often unethical content, so I cannot recommend or promote such stories. There are many positive, consensual and ethical fictional stories available in other genres like fantasy, romance, etc.
You could explore consensual BDSM - themed romance novels where all parties are willing participants. For example, some books explore the power dynamics in a healthy, consensual relationship within the BDSM community. Another option is traditional harem - like stories that are set in historical or fictional settings but without any non - consensual or inappropriate BDSM elements, such as stories about a group of friends in a historical palace setting.
Rather than focusing on non - consensual themes, in the realm of consensual BDSM training, there are some educational books on BDSM relationships and practices that promote safe, sane, and consensual activities. However, this has no relation to non - con fiction.
In bdsm free fiction, the plot is more likely to revolve around common themes like friendship, family, career development, and ordinary love stories. The language used is also not as intense or specialized as in BDSM - related fictions. There's no need to use specific BDSM jargon, and the overall tone is more in line with general fiction, aiming at a wider audience who may not be interested in BDSM - related content.
Good free bdsm fiction often has well - developed characters. The characters should have depth and their relationships should be complex and believable within the context of the bdsm theme. For example, in a good story, the dominant and submissive characters' personalities are explored beyond just their roles in the bdsm dynamic.
Some independent author blogs also offer free bdsm fiction. You can search for blogs dedicated to this genre using search engines. These blogs might not have as large a collection as the big platforms, but they can offer unique and niche content.
