Dear Readers, I thought about making this a poll, but I wonder if polls inhibit discussion. I like to read your thoughts and not just a poll response.
Anyway, what does the story code "Reluctant" aka "reluct" mean to you?
Also, a follow-up question, what level of reluctance do you associate with this code, on a scale of the character's attitude being: 'No, I really shouldn't, but okay, tie me up, lock me in chastity, and screw me' to 'Hell no. Come any closer and I shoot, but give me a week to reconsider'?
Thanks and have a great weekend.

In my mind the 'reluctant' as I define it falls into two main concepts:
Willing, but has reservations about the 'event', second thoughts going into it kind of thing
or
Not initially willing, but coerced to accept. Maybe an offered Quid Pro Quo type of situation but not a 'no option but to' situation
I would agree with willing. Then include but unsure about how far things should (or would) go.
The "tie me up, lock me in chastity, and screw me" example, the subject might go for the tieing up and chastity...but may be hesitant about moving forward with the screwing (and how much).
loras pa6 covers mostly what I came up with in a much more condensed and easy to read version than I was about to with my rambling response would have been.
