Page 2 of Used

A hand raises in the back, a younger woman who looks to be about 30 with bright green hair and piercings galore.

“Oh, cool. Yeah, questions are great. What’s up?” I ask.

“What’s free use?” She asks.

“Ah. Free use is a relatively new kink that’s been popularized by porn.”

Several people’s noses wrinkle at the mention of porn.

Prudes.

“Most people know what CNC, consensual-non-consent, is, like rape play and such.” I pause, trying to figure out how best to explain the kink. “The idea behind it isn’t too far off from that. I might even put it under CNC as its umbrella term, but I don’t make those kinds of decisions.”

I chuckle along with several people in the audience.

“Basically, the kink is that sex is available to partners at all times. In a dynamic that utilizes free use, one or both of the partners have consented to have sex with or be ‘used’ by the other at any time. Make sense?”

The woman looks a little unsure, so I continue.

“For example, I come home from work and find my partner in the kitchen making dinner. I start pulling off her clothes, and I tell her I’m going to fuck her on the counter as I’m pulling out my cock. Then you, well... fuck. But the key is that it’s not up to the other partner whether or not they want to have sex.”

Several people in the crowd nod, but a few look bewildered at the idea.

“The key to the whole kink, though, is that all of this has been pre-negotiated and agreed upon,” I say, my voice low and calm to denote the seriousness of my words in contrast to my earlier jokes. “There’s a clear understanding of the dynamic and any limitations placed around play. Most importantly, both parties understand that consent can be revoked anytime.”

A man with graying hair, probably in his forties, raises his hand.

“Yeah,” I say.

“How do you negotiate something like that?” He asks loudly, which makes the woman next to him blush furiously.

“Well...” I ponder his question for a minute and smile charmingly. “Why don’t you come up to the front, and we can show everyone?”

Immediately, the man shrinks back into his chair, and I internally laugh.

Of course, he’d shy away at the suggestion.

“Nah? Okay. Anyone else wanna give it a go?” I ask the room.

The green-haired young woman’s hand shoots up.

“Alright!” I say enthusiastically. “Come on up here and tell me your name. Then we can dive into the fun stuff.”

When I look around, everyone in the audience is leaning forward in their chairs.

When the young woman reached the front of the room, I hold out my hand to shake hers.

And we’re off.
