Book World Acronyms Pt 2

MC – Motorcycle Club. If you watched the first episode on acronyms you’ll know that MC is also short for Main Character, so you’ll have to use context clues for this one. 

Taboo – taboo is forbidden concepts. Taboo things that might show up in romances are family romances (this includes blood family, step family, and adoptive families), student and teacher, age gaps, doctor and patient, relationships with religious figures, basically any relationships that might be illegal or otherwise abhorrent in real life for various reasons.

J/P: Jealous/Possessive

Dubcon – Dubious consent. Obviously in real life this doesn’t exist because if it’s not an enthusiastic yes, it’s a no, but in fiction this refers to spicy time that is not explicitly consented to but is still wanted on some level or the consent is unclear. Situations like both parties are drunk or high, someone is into it but afraid to say it out loud, etc. would fall under the dubcon trope.

Noncon – Non consent. This is just another term for sexual assault. I’m not going to get into the intricacies of fantasy vs reality and fiction vs reality, but suffice to say this particular trope is not uncommon and there are a plethora of reasons people might enjoy consuming that content. 

BDSM – this is short for bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadism, and masochism. I’m not going to go into all of the intricacies of BDSM to explain what it is and how it works, so that’ll be a research project for you if you want to know more. The next few terms are all related to BDSM.

Dom – short for dominant

Sub – short for submissive

D/s – short for dominant and submissive

Daddy – this focuses around the concept of the caregiver rather than the sexualization of the blood relative. The daddy in question doesn’t even need to have children. It’s purely about energy and role play.

Zaddy – an attractive older man that is stylish, confident, and charming.

Daddy dom – a dominant that takes the role of a caregiver with their submissive. While all doms should be caring toward their submissives, a daddy dom leans more heavily into the role to provide care, guidance, and correction similar to how a father would but without the blood relation.

DDlg – Daddy Dom and Little Girl. This is obviously the pairing of the daddy dom and a roleplay where the submissive pretends to be much younger, therefore relinquishing control and responsibility so they can chill out and be taken care of.

Little – part of ageplay where the participant pretends to be a small child

Middle – part of ageplay where the participant pretends to be an older child or teen

ABDL – Adult Baby Diaper Lover. This is a part of ageplay where the participant pretends to be a baby and wears a diaper

Ageplay vs Age Gap – Ageplay is a roleplay where participants pretend they’re a different age than they actually are, whereas an age gap is a literal difference in age between partners. When it comes to fiction I’ve mostly seen age gaps of around 20 years to be fairly common, but anywhere from 10 years and up would usually qualify under this trope. You might also see reverse age gap which is the same as age gap, but some people add reverse since men being older than women is the most common in the age gap trope. 

CNC – consensual nonconsent. Basically the participants pretend things are not consensual even though they are and boundaries were previously discussed and agreed upon. 

OTT – Over The Top

OWD – Other Woman Drama

DP – Double Penetration, basically you have one peen in the front door and one in the back door. You might also see this pop up as DVP, which is two peens in the front door.
