CNC Roleplay Scenarios and Ideas

One of the exciting parts of exploring CNC (Consensual Non-Consent) and free use fantasies is the sheer range of roleplay scenarios you can try. If you're new to these concepts, start with our free use vs CNC guide to understand the key differences. If you both enjoy imaginative play, you can virtually write a whole catalog of scenes to act out, each with its own flavor of taboo. Some scenarios lean more into the ravishment aspect (force and resistance), while others might incorporate elements like blackmail, intoxication, or elaborate power dynamics. It's important to approach each with clear negotiation and enthusiastic consent, but within those safety bounds, you have a lot of freedom to be creative (and a little wicked in the best way).

Let’s look at some popular categories of CNC roleplays and scenario ideas under each. Feel free to customize them or use them as inspiration to dream up your own fantasy scenes!

Ravishment Fantasy Scenarios

"Ravishment" is a somewhat old-fashioned word that basically means overwhelming someone with passionate force (in other words, a fancy way to say consensual rape fantasy without the hard edge of the r-word). Many people who enjoy CNC will refer to “ravishment play” as it emphasizes that there’s desire and enjoyment underlying the forced facade.

Here are a few ravishment scenario ideas:

• The Intruder at Night: This is a classic. One partner pretends to be a stranger breaking into the house while the other is sleeping or home alone. The "victim" is caught off-guard (in bed in their nightgown, or coming out of the shower perhaps) and the intruder pins them down, covers their mouth, and has their way. The roleplay can include the victim trying to escape, maybe a little cat-and-mouse chase in the house, hiding and being found, etc. For safety and comfort, you might pre-set the stage: maybe the bedroom is the "scene" area. The victim knows if they run off the bed, the intruder won't actually chase beyond that, unless agreed. This scenario is intense because it involves that fear of someone unknown and the shock of being taken by surprise. It's essential to check in after such a scene, because it can be very adrenaline-charged!

• Kidnap and Tie-Up: One partner gets "kidnapped", could be as simple as coming home and finding the other lying in wait who pounces and says "Don't scream!" Maybe some light bondage is used: hands tied, blindfold on. The dominant partner can then "use" the captive however they want, with the captive struggling. This can range from a rough quickie to a drawn-out scene where the captor talks dirty ("You're mine now, no one's coming to save you...") and the victim alternates between pleading and maybe secretly enjoying it. Couples often use costumes or props here, e.g., wearing a ski mask as the captor, or ripping the victim's clothes a bit for effect (have some sacrificial cheap clothes for this purpose!).

• Authority Figure Gone Rogue: Another common fantasy is where a figure of authority misuses their power. For example, a corrupt police officer roleplay, one partner is a cop who "arrests" the other for some made-up offense, handcuffs them, and then "negotiates" sexual favors for leniency. Or a security guard catches the other shoplifting and says, "We can do this the hard way or you can do something for me to let you go…", then forces them. There's also the risky but popular boss/employee coercion or teacher/student scenario, though those can tread into uncomfortable real-world power imbalance territory, so only do it if it's purely fantasy fun for both (and obviously, only with consenting adults playing roles; we're talking roleplay here). These scenarios give a framework where the victim can't easily say no because of the power the other holds, which is exactly the CNC thrill. Just be aware some people have actual trauma with abuse of power, so make sure it's a roleplay both can handle.

• Rough Honeymoon (or "I can't control myself" scenario): In this one, you skip the stranger angle and do it as yourselves, but one partner play-acts being so overcome with lust or aggression that they effectively "ravish" the other. For instance, a scenario could be: you come home from a date and suddenly the partner just pushes you against the wall and takes what they want without asking, in a mock-non-consensual way. The resisting partner might say "No, wait, not here!" etc., pounding fists on the other's chest, but the attacker just growls "I need you now" and proceeds. This is a way to incorporate ravishment fantasy without introducing a third-party character or scenario; you can remain as yourselves but just script it that normally you'd ask but this time you're "not taking no for an answer." It's like playing a different version of you for a night, a less respectful, more primal version. Some couples find this easier because you don't have to pretend you don't know each other; you're just injecting a forced dynamic temporarily.

• Capture in the Woods (or Outdoors): If you have access to a safe, private outdoor area (and enjoy a bit of nature with your play), a scene could be one partner wandering in the woods (maybe on a hike or camping), and the other is a stalker who has been watching them. The stalker grabs them, maybe ties them to a tree or pins them to the ground, and has at it. The outdoor element can add to the feeling of vulnerability (nobody to hear you scream, far from help, etc.). Ensure you truly have privacy if you try this, the last thing you want is a passerby thinking it's real and calling the cops! Some couples do this on private property or very remote areas. A variation: a "hunter and prey" game, where the victim is given a head start to run, and if the pursuer catches them, they get "used." This can be kind of fun and playful if done carefully (and if both are physically able to run a bit). Just be cautious with any roughhousing on uneven outdoor terrain, safety first, even when fantasizing about danger!

For all ravishment scenarios, a few tips:

• Agree on how verbal or physical the resistance will be. Some people want to really scream “NO!” and fight hard (which can be cathartic), others might only want token resistance and more passive submission once “caught.” Align on that so the aggressor knows what level to expect and won’t accidentally push too far thinking it’s still play.

• Consider having a safe word gesture if the victim’s mouth might be covered or if they’ll be screaming a lot as part of the act (you might not distinguish a real panic “no” from a play “no” if it’s loud and chaotic). For example, holding a ball in the hand that can be dropped if they want to stop, or tapping the partner three times firmly.

• Afterwards, do some aftercare: wrap the “victim” in a blanket, cuddle, reassure them that “You did so well, I loved our scene, thank you”. Often ravishment fantasy folks like to transform back into loving partners right after to avoid any lingering unease. Some also like to talk through, “What did you like most? Was any part too much?” to refine for next time.

Intox Play and Blackmail Fantasy (Consensual)

These are two distinct scenario categories, but they share a theme of incapacitation or coercion other than direct physical force. They are a bit more psychological and can be combined with ravishment or stand on their own.

• Intoxication Play ("Drunk/Drugged" scenario): Intox play involves pretending (or in some cases actually being, though that's riskier) that one partner is intoxicated and thus unable to give coherent consent, allowing the other to "take advantage" of them. This is a fantasy where maybe the victim is like, "I shouldn't… I'm too drunk…" and the aggressor says "Shh, it's fine" and keeps going, or the victim is essentially semi-conscious. For example, a scene might be at a "party" (your living room, perhaps): one partner acts tipsy or passed out on the couch. The other starts touching them, maybe murmuring things like "You're so out of it… you won't even know what's happening, will you?" and the victim slurs or moans but doesn't resist. This overlaps with somnophilia if the person is basically "out cold." The dark appeal here is the violation of taking someone when they can't agree or resist. It's edgy because it mirrors real scenarios that are not at all okay in real life (like someone being assaulted while drunk). So handle with care: only do this if both find the fantasy hot and not triggering.

  If you want to keep it totally roleplay, you can simulate drunkenness (acting). Actually getting drunk to do CNC is not recommended, impairment can lead to someone actually not comfortable and the other not realizing, or accidents. It's hotter to pretend to be wasted, and still have your wits about you behind the scenes. Some couples use small amounts of alcohol to "take the edge off" but set a limit, so they're still able to consent.

  A twist: maybe the victim did consent earlier when sober, like telling their partner “tonight I’ll pretend to be wasted and you do whatever,” which gives some ethical underpinning, and then they play it out.

• Incapacitation (aside from intox): Similar to intox play is any scenario where the victim is unaware or unable to consent. We already covered sleep (somnophilia) as one. Another is hypnosis or mind control fantasies, e.g., one partner pretends to drug the other with a "mind control serum" or use hypnosis so they become blank and compliant. Then they "use" them freely. This can be fun for those who like a bit of sci-fi or supernatural flair to their play (and it conveniently removes the need for the victim to act resistant, they can roleplay being a doll or zombie-like). Obviously this is pure fantasy, no one's actually hypnotized into what they don't want, it's just a storyline.

  With any pretend drugging or true incapacitation scenario, trust is paramount. If someone's roleplaying unconsciousness, the active partner must be super careful (e.g., supporting their body, not actually choking them because they can't respond, etc.). Safe words in these scenes might be challenging because the person is acting like they can't speak, perhaps have a system like holding a bell they can ring if needed, even if they appear "out."

• Blackmail Fantasy: This scenario is about coercion by threat rather than brute force. One partner has something over the other, could be a secret, explicit photos, a work-related power, etc., and they extort sexual favors with it. For example, imagine a roleplay where one partner finds out the other cheated (fictionally), and instead of leaving, they say "Now you'll do whatever I want, whenever I want, or I'll tell everyone about your little affair." Then they proceed to demand sex at inconvenient times, or push boundaries, with the victim protestingly complying "Please, don't tell, I'll do it…".

  Another common one is a landlord/tenant or boss/employee blackmail: "Can't pay the rent? Well, there's another way you can compensate me…" Or "I know you lied on your resume, if you want to keep this job, here's what you'll do after hours." These play on power differences but in a psychological way, the victim technically could say no, but the consequences are dire enough that they feel forced to submit.

  Within a relationship, blackmail roleplay can be really thrilling if both get into character, because it allows for longer-term play. You could run a blackmail fantasy over days, e.g., the "blackmailer" sends a text midday: "Be in the bedroom naked when I get home, or I'll hit send to your mom." That dread and anticipation builds a different mood than a sudden jump-attack scenario. It's like a slow burn CNC. Of course, always with the understanding that any time the actual partner can say "pause" if it's too stressful.

  If you incorporate tech (like threatening to post pics, etc.), be extra careful that any real compromising materials are kept safe, you don't want to actually risk something leaking for the sake of realism. It can all be implied.

  Blackmail scenes require good acting and trust, because you're often saying cruel things ("You're my slave now, I own you or I ruin you"). Aftercare needs to re-establish that it was play and "I respect you, I would never actually hurt you/your life." Some couples even write a fake blackmail letter or contract as a prop which can be strangely hot (e.g., the victim signs a paper that says "I agree to be your plaything or else X happens", obviously not real in legal terms, just a theatrical prop).

• Roleplay with Third-Party (Consensual Non-consent with more people): This is advanced, but some enjoy involving another person (or couple) in CNC play, for example, one partner "blackmails" the other into having sex with a third person as part of the scenario (like "I'll tell your secret unless you also let my friend join us"). This crosses into swinging/threesome territory plus CNC, it's very edgy and not for the faint of heart, as it involves a lot of trust not just between the main couple but with the third party to behave exactly as scripted. Only do this if everyone is experienced, genuinely consenting to all combinations, and probably if the third person is also a partner or very trusted friend in your kink circle. Because legally and ethically, adding people can multiply risks. Still, it's worth mentioning as it is a fantasy some have (e.g., a dominant basically lending out their submissive under a CNC pretense). Always ensure the "victim" partner is 100% on board with this in reality, even if their role is to act opposed.

When doing these kinds of scenarios, preparation is key. If you plan a blackmail scene, outline the general flow: what's the threat, what does the blackmailer want, will the scene end after one "payment" or is it ongoing, etc. For intox play, decide if any actual substance is used or all acting, and have safety measures if actual alcohol is involved (maybe the dominant stays sober). For comprehensive guidance on establishing boundaries and agreements, see our free use contracts guide.

Also, consider the psychological intensity: Intox and blackmail fantasies can mess with the mind in different ways than physical force does. A person might later feel strange that they enjoyed being “violated” while appearing unconscious, or that hearing their partner threaten to ruin their life turned them on. It’s normal to have a bit of “whoa, that was heavy” afterwards – talking it through helps. Remind each other that enjoying fantasy coercion doesn’t mean you want any of that in reality.

A practical tip: establish a way to jump out of character if needed. Sometimes during intense roleplay, using the safe word might be too abrupt or one partner might hesitate to break character. Some couples have a code like addressing the person by their real name firmly means “hey, real talk, pause.” For example, if you’re calling each other “Officer Smith” and “miss Jones” in a scene, and suddenly miss Jones says “John, seriously, my arm hurts” – using the real name signals it’s not the character speaking. That can be your break moment. Once sorted, you can resume.

To spark more ideas, here are a few quick scenario prompts:

• A “ravisher in disguise” scenario: one partner is on a date with someone (played by the other partner in a wig or costume), who seems nice, but then later turns forceful.

• A “stranded motorist” scenario: one’s car breaks down, the other comes as a “helpful stranger” but demands sex as payment.

• A “medical CNC” scenario: one partner as a pervy doctor or nurse who performs “non-consensual” exams or treatments.

• A “supernatural CNC” scenario: being ravished by a “vampire” or “werewolf” (if you like a bit of fantasy flair, consent might be moot to a creature of the night).

• A “prisoner of war/interrogation” scenario: heavy roleplay where one is a captured spy and the other interrogates them sexually for information. This can combine with bondage, forced orgasms, etc. It’s edgy and not for everyone (especially if someone has actual military trauma or such, avoid that). But it’s a scenario some BDSM folks explore.

The possibilities are as vast as your comfort with creativity and taboo. Always approach new ideas with dialogue first. You might even roleplay light versions before going full throttle – e.g., do a scene where you only simulate force 50% to test waters, then next time ramp it up if all went well.

Most importantly, enjoy the play. These scenarios can be intense, but they’re also meant to be fun and fulfilling fantasies. As long as you maintain trust, any role – no matter how dark or twisted it sounds – can be a way for a couple to connect and express parts of their sexuality in a safe container. Whether you’re ravishing, drugging (pretend), or blackmailing each other in these scenes, at the end of the day you’re also taking care of each other through it. That contrast – darkness in the scene, love outside of it – is what makes CNC play deeply powerful and bonding.
