Reading it is harder. I don't want non-con or harder dub-con in things I read, especially when it's supposed to be a fluffy story. Yaoi gets me every time on this. So yeah, warnings are very good and the author actually being aware that the pursued until you give in to sex trope is actually not proper consent / verges into dub-con.
I hadn't even realized that, about writing versus reading. Actually, that's the same as deathfic for me--no problem writing it, but I don't want to read it pretty much ever. Between than and dub/noncon being the same way I felt kind of like a hypocrite, but I think it's more about the amount of control you have over the situation, if that makes sense. As a writer, I'm actively choosing everything that happens and it's going to go exactly as I want--as a reader I can feel shanghaied into something I do not want.
Glad to hear it's not an issue with your book--although I bet it's throwing other issues at you instead! They always do... :) Somewhat ironically, I'm just about to start a sex pollen story! I realized I haven't written one of those for...like five years or so. Huh! And one of my favorite things to write! Though I've written similar things, just not the most literal form...
