FAQ
How is an intimacy trigger different from general sexual content?
Sexual content can be consensual or neutral in tone; an intimacy trigger specifically refers to material that may cause distress because it echoes real‑world trauma—examples include non‑consensual encounters, sexual violence, or coercion. Not all sexual content is a trigger, but anything depicting or implying harm or a loss of agency is more likely to be one.
How can authors or creators identify potential intimacy triggers in their stories?
What should I do if a scene triggers me while reading?
Pause and use any in‑app safety options (skip scene, choose alternate path, or return to the main menu). If you need immediate grounding, try simple techniques like deep breathing, changing your environment, or contacting a trusted person. Many platforms also include links to hotlines and support resources for readers who need professional help.
