Not Pounded At The Last Second Because Consent Can Be Given And Revoked At Any Moment And This Is A Wonderful Thing That’s Important To Understand

by Chuck Tingle

Blip is on the way to a white water rafting trip, but he’s nervous about the adventure before it even begins. Fortunately, Blip finds himself with a wonderful and patient guide, a handsome bigfoot named Garto Grims who explains that, while the river may seem like there’s only one path to take, there are actually several forks in the road, and it’s always okay to stop entirely.

As the attraction between Blip and Garto mounts, they suddenly find themselves locked in the heat of passion, and when Blip suddenly changes his mind about the encounter, he quickly learns that’s okay!

Now Blip and Garto are embarking on an erotic adventure with absolutely no sex, proving that love is still real when you revoke your consent for any reason at all.

This important tale is 4,100 words of sexless romance between buds, including learning about each other, sharing a river rafting adventure, and a blossoming love that is just as important with or without sex.

ngl this isn’t the worst I’ve read.

It was .... something.

Enjoyable to read, bizarre to read - but I appreciated the strength of consent and the inclusion of asexuality.

I'm okay You're okay

Dr. Chuck Tingle has written two rather sweet stories having to do with consent.
The first one is quite meta and funny. The second is more about being asexual.

If meta characters, white water rafting bigfoot and shirtless raptor food obsessed raptors understand consent, then everyone should.

...I genuinely don't know where to begin.
I've never done drugs a day in my life, but if I was tripping hard on acid and decided at that particular moment to take a shot at writing gay erotica, this would be the result.
Adjectives fail me...truly. I saw the other book titles and curiosity got the better of me; thought it would be one of those things where the title and art were utterly idiotic, but the book itself was half decent. I don't know why I had higher hopes for a book whose main character is named 'Blip', and his love interest is a literal Sasquatch. I wish I was lying.

I’m giving this book a star rating because I needed to write a review.

I’m kinda drunk, I read this, I am full of exactly zero regrets and exactly all of the respect for Chuck. That is all.

This is my first Chuck Tingle book although I'd heard people talk about 'Tinglers' before and how funny they were.

I wasn't disappointed. The entire story is tongue in cheek and it should have felt so much preachier than it did. Maybe the key to every PSA is to have the lines delivered by a hunky sasquatch or a sweet raptor boyfriend.

Basically reading Chuck Tingle felt like playing one of the joke dating simulators like Pug Speed Dating or Hatoful Boyfriend. It's a lot of fun~.

This was a Valentine's day present from my husband. He read it out loud to me. What else is there to say? It was surprisingly meta, and dedicated to the heartwarming moral: consent is important, even if you're a character in erotica.

Thanks to Kindle Cover Disasters for making us aware of Dr. Tingle. I don't know if he's the writer we need or deserve or...?

Very funny and warm hearted story.

A very funny and warm hearted story. Note: this story contains sexual references, so it’s not for children. The story is meant to be humorous, and does not support real life bestiality.

The story talks about the important message of how consent is important and that sex is not required for romantic relationships.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A silly little story that makes very valid points about consent. Unfortunately it frustrated me on the same level as the asexual story, because it still felt the need to include raunchy metaphors even while saying even a tingler doesn’t have to have sex in it.

I finally did it! I read an actual Chuck Tingle book and it was everything I was hoping for.
