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?
