Like most things, I guess it depends upon the situation and if both participants are affected by the spell/pollen. In my last story, I tried to make it free of skanky consent issues as possible, although I probably didn't succeed. *shrug*
Well, sometimes the skanky consent issues are the point. *g* Sex spells/pollen take the whole business out of the normal realm for me and make things less fraught overall, more of a mutual beer goggles moment. If that makes sense.
Roofies or taking advantage of someone so drunk that they can't consent is a whole other business, however. I can't even pretend to be rational about it.
There's serious, and then there's crack. There's roofies, and then there's "everyone woke in the morning really wanting to have sex".
The question is how light we are on the fantasy/scifi element. Where is the line? For example, in most mainstream media I find that the representation of gay and trans people as a comic relief is not only unfunny, but can actually be problematic in cementing the perception of the wide audience. This is something like that: how deeply do I want to be thinking?
