Hey! Way to go Casper! setting boundaries!

2025-09-20 22:21:30 +0000 UTCfor real, it makes it feel so much more real in a way that makes me love the characters all the more.

2025-09-13 07:11:53 +0000 UTCI feel as though moments like this make erotica and fiction as a whole *better* and it's cool to see what could have been a very dull, if necessary within context establishment of boundaries also work as character building and be, as many have also pointed out, kinda hot (I'm no judge there though)

2025-09-03 16:49:10 +0000 UTCVery fair reaction tbh. Clear and firm establishing of boundaries, but not blowing up. Good job Casper. Also Junip, hon, don't assume. Ask before doing something new, you should know better.

2025-08-30 04:31:22 +0000 UTCDamn, Casper looks hot asserting his boundaries

2025-08-29 20:35:27 +0000 UTChes using his words! hes learning!

2025-08-29 17:27:28 +0000 UTCWell, at least it looks like theyre figuring eachother out one way or another... Thats always a positive thing isnt it? Eventually?

2025-08-29 16:17:28 +0000 UTCThis speaks to me, I’m glad Casper is communicating when Junip crossed the line, I’m like this, dysphoria and dysmorphia are a bitch when intimate, and not just screaming at my partner over it is something that is not easy
Kitsune Robyn
2025-08-29 12:59:17 +0000 UTCAlways ask, Junip <3 Always.

2025-08-29 12:31:08 +0000 UTCThis was incredibly powerful.

2025-08-29 06:15:12 +0000 UTCSo interesting to see this. In all the stories he's been in that I remember, Juniper is totally nailing it when it comes to sensing what his partners want. I appreciate that you're going in this direction because it feels more real. People don't just ~know~ what's going to be good without talking to each other.

2025-08-29 01:45:02 +0000 UTCCalled it, but glad Casper isn't yelling or having an angry fit. Short - to the point communication. Junip crossed a line, but maybe Casper realized he never drew the line and decided to redirect. Not the BEST but not the worst either. I'm excited to see how Junip handles this, considering his girlfriend is trans, I assume there's going to be a bit more guilt than if he wasn't aware of how b ad dysphoria can hit. I hope he handles it well and they continue.

2025-08-29 01:40:05 +0000 UTCShort, Firm, Clear. Well handled without being agressive. He’s learning :3
Bupropion
2025-08-29 01:03:16 +0000 UTCThis is… real. Without going into too much TMI for obvious reasons- ask before you touch…
NorthSFX
2025-08-29 00:59:47 +0000 UTCTo be clear. This is NOT an endorsement of being a dick. Not all communication is verbal. If your doing more than what was initially asked. Communicate with your body. Read your partner. Don't do random things and say "it was a mistake" that's just being a dick. It's very easy to communicate your intent without needing to break scene.

2025-08-29 00:42:10 +0000 UTCCasper communicating clearly and setting boundaries healthily?! That dick so good it taught him to communicate needs in good faith?

2025-08-29 00:41:17 +0000 UTCGreat to see it handled so well. Yes Junip should have asked. And yes Casper has every right to blow up at him. But I've been to enough parties and I can tell you this exact situation happens. And it's important to not let it ruin your night. Let your boundaries be known. But don't pull yourself too far out of subspace. Example: Guy I was helping in a scene at a fisting party got unwanted attention whilst his Sir was elbow deep. The intruder barley got his hand into my view before the Dom quickly snapped at the them, pulling his attention away from the bottom for what felt like less than a second. And instantly went back to looking his subject in the face to assure him the threat was gone. (I've never seen someone command such respect with nothing more than a simple "UH!" It was like telling off a dog that was trying to steal your food.) Short. Sharp. The point is made and the scene can continue. (If not. Yellow card and talk. But most will get the hint) You and your play partner can discuss it with you after you come back down later Be yourself. Don't compromise. But make sure you forgive mistakes if they are genuine.
Atreidae
2025-08-29 00:38:45 +0000 UTCHeeeeey! He's heeding the advice from Page 24! You talk, listen in good faith, and grow to understand each other... and communicating boundaries is part of that understanding. Good to see he wasn't TOO annoyed to let it sink in. ;)
Hoomiku
2025-08-28 23:38:19 +0000 UTCI'll be honest, I expected more of an explosion and shouting. But Casper doesn't need to give a reason, and Junip gets the message. I wonder if this spurs Casper to be more talkative, if only so that Junip doesn't make a similar egregious mistake. A line was crossed, but there was literally no way Junip could have known that, and Casper can choose to fail Junip in a test the sand cat never knew he was taking... or open up a little bit more if he wants continued access to the God Cock

2025-08-28 23:07:56 +0000 UTCKinda makes sense if ya think about it. The man's dating a woman with a fresh new vagina. She's gonna wanna try everything! I know I would anyway...
Violet Coyote
2025-08-28 22:50:51 +0000 UTCYou know, I was expecting more of a sharp explosion of emotions from Casper, but this was surprisingly more restrained. I don't know if he's slowly beginning to understand his feelings clouding up his head or something else, it's growth nonetheless. Interested to see where things continue to go after this.
Tyzel
2025-08-28 22:45:44 +0000 UTC(though I'm sure that we the readers will find out why, and it's an understandable faux pas... I mean, having been twelve inches in, and blown a racing-stripe and "invited" to lick it up, that usually would be "all systems go"... can't be too mad at Junip for this. This time.)
Caerdwyn
2025-08-28 22:41:55 +0000 UTCYeah Casper communicate those boundaries!!! I’m really happy to see this depiction of a trans guy who has boundaries and asserts them. So well handled, your comics are such a pleasure for how they portray communication and consent (and queer experiences in general! What a joy)
Gravy
2025-08-28 22:14:33 +0000 UTCYep. And never pressure to say "Why". Sharing that info is strictly voluntary, and though questions are free (it's answers that cost), it's still a bad vibe to question personal landmines unless invited to ask.
Caerdwyn
2025-08-28 22:08:12 +0000 UTCas a trans man who also does not want certain areas touched during sex, holy shit i feel so seen by this comic, ngl i was surprised by the last panel of the last page because i assumed (from..... clues) that casper was only ok w/ anal. I am drunk and not phrasing this well, but i'm really happy. He's giving that communication thing a damn shot!
helgarot
2025-08-28 21:17:39 +0000 UTCYup that's...math
Rosie Common
2025-08-28 21:10:15 +0000 UTCGreat job Casper!
Alextheandre
2025-08-28 21:02:33 +0000 UTCOkay so Junip should have asked. But to be fair, he's been told to shut his mouth every time he tries to speak ^^; I do agree consent should have been asked for but also think Casper's been kiiinda barring communication up til now. Hoping he learns to use his words effectively and accept that SOME words are necessary when you're playing with a new partner. <3

2025-08-28 21:00:19 +0000 UTCI know right

2025-08-28 20:51:02 +0000 UTCCommunication is so hot!
JoeGeomancer
2025-08-28 20:47:36 +0000 UTCFirm but very collected? Proud of Casper here<3
Raptorfeathers
2025-08-28 20:45:25 +0000 UTCHeat of the moment things happen, boundaries now set, cant wait to see what these 2 get up too once they have a good ~feel~ for eachother

2025-08-28 20:42:08 +0000 UTCCasper 🥺
Alex Rouco
2025-08-28 20:38:56 +0000 UTCdidn’t even notice Junip’s two short nails before
Fr33kOut
2025-08-28 20:38:30 +0000 UTCCompletely justified aggressive boundary setting, bad junip for not asking
