Lots of porn, especially hentai, can have common tropes or cliches that can often times be pretty taboo, dark, edgy, etc. to help spice it up. Stuff like mindbreak, exhibitionism, non-con, blackmail, prostitution, etc. are some of these examples. I have no problem with people liking that by the way, but I want to ask if anyone else also loves "Wholesome" or more positive spins/takes on these usual dark tropes in porn/hentai?

My starting example and the thing that inspired me to make this thread was the hentai parody manga "AV Joyuu Akiyama Rinko Shigoto no Ryuugi" (nhentai.net/g/423116/) where the Taimanin Rinko Akiyama quits being a Taimanin (ninja women who fight demons) to become a porn star. Usually, most hentai (and the very series she's from) would have had her get mindbroken and violated into becoming a pornstar by monsters or something, but in the manga, she does it out of her own free will, and the orcs that she has sex with in the porn scenes are all super nice and supportive of her: nhentai.net/g/423116/39/

It can be really nice, wholesome body writing comes to mind

(I missed my bus stop writing this lol)

I'm interested in this sort of thing. First thing that came to mind is consensual somnophilia (I'm not sure if that's inherently "dark" but I can think of ways it could be).

I actually want to write a f/f fanfic where a yandere rapes her girlfriend, but she's "gentle" about it. Like she doesn't berate her or is rough, like how a lot of noncon material goes. Instead she's soft with her and goes on about how much she loves her, which makes her girlfriend feel conflicted about the whole thing.

I know that sounds kinda lame considering the whole point of the noncon kink is the unwanted aspect of it, but well.

I've been procrastinating on it for months though ugh

I kind of like having wholesome elements to those sorts of dark fantasies too, in some cases it can soften, or in other cases darken it in its own way. Corruption + aftercare is super fun combination to me. Turning something noncon into consensual, etc.

That sounds interesting! It actually reminds me of ANOTHER Taimanin hentai manga parody where Rinko does get brainwashed into being a prostitute unlike the other manga, but after the brainwashing, she still acts like a normal person, and the other prostitutes love her like she's their mistress:

She also even has a consensual romantic relationship with a giant tentacle monster, which is another typical dark hentai cliche that usually rapes women.

First of all : Mommydom. Being a kind and careful mommy outside of the sessions, doing a lot of preparation to make sure my sub feels alright and lots of aftercare is so cool. Even if during the session I'm a painful harsh bitch.
Second, Small Penis Adoration, the counterpart to SPH.
Then a few others, like marking kind stuff instead of mean, or switching the classic "getting caught" into a good new.
I also like to do playful watersports, not like a mark of humiliation but more as something where people bond over like, pissing on someone who enjoys it and being like "See ? I'm weird too hehe !"
And ultimately I'd say pegging and taking it more as a way to stimulate the prostate, doing it slowly, with a vibrating dildo, or a strapon designed to please instead of the usual painal punishment.
Well, that's far from all but these are the main ones I can think about at the moment !

Why is it hard to find a lady who's into soft domination? Like seriously, sometimes I wanna be bottom.

I can't think of anything in particular, but probably exhibition. I do like the idea of a couple trying it out for fun, and the two really love it. Prostitution wise, there's one really wholesome image of a girl in a gloryhole and a ring comes through rather then a dick

Wait pegging is “usually” a punishment? Please. There is no way that’s the norm. I mean sure I prefer being more rough but that’s also just how a lot of subs like it. It definitely has always been a wholesome kink for me at base 0

Things like wholesome prostitution, pet play, Yandere and the like have always been my jam. I even write about such settings frequently.

I have an entire story published about a Yandere futanari who stalks the girl she likes. She gets the chance to get her alone, then break and breed her, but she does so with a weird sort of affection.

Thissssss. Like yes, I'm into noncon in fiction...but CNC fiction has its own appeal. Some might find the breaking of the fantasy boring, but when characters in fanfiction and stuff doing check-ins during scenes and stuff like that it makes my heart grow three sizes.

Yes! I love cnc stuff and artists who draw it where the dom/sadist is very loving at the same time is really hot. Some of my biggest kink scenes involve that sort of mindset. I’m a bit bad at explaining so idk if it makes sense.

Like somno as an example, i love when the dom does it with a loving intention and they both enjoy it

I see it as more of a fun gimmick than something I am interested in tbh

I usually prefer the dark stuff played straight.

It is difficult to do, however. Done badly, it is gonna look like a bad Fifty Shades fanfiction which in that case why not play it straight?
