#force plural

Cursory knowledge first. Plural is a broad term describing people with DID, OSDD, and anyone else who describes their experiences as multiple personalities (alters) within one body. I, for instance, am an alter in a system of about ten personalities. I'm one of two "hosting" personalities, ones who are in control of the body more often.

Adjacent to this, a singlet is everyone else. One personality in the body, or at least someone who would not say they operate as multiple.

Plural kink, especially force plural, is a bit messier, but I'll try. :] Force plural comes from different places for different people, so I'll mostly speak on my experience. It's largely speaking a kink focused on forcing systems (or singlets!) to split a new alter (or two :] or four :]). I'd classify it as a form of consensual non-consent or consensual mind alteration. Considering the force aspect. The way I operate in it, it's very heavily a roleplay thing - I don't play lightly with people's psyche, especially not those vulnerable to it. Plural brains are broadly more susceptible to new splits, whether through conscious effort or through traumatic experiences.

A lot of fantasy goes into it - the fantasy of warping someone's mind, rewriting their neural paths, opening a space for a new alter, maybe one I'd want to see in them specifically for my sexual gratification. When it comes to the receiving end (the party splitting), some derive gratification or catharsis from the fantasy of consenting to a traumatic experience that would cause a split. Some like force plural as a subcategory of hypnosis, psychological play, and manipulation in kink. Others just think it's very fun to be made to make a whole new person that could overtake their body.

On the dominant side (my side :]) a lot of the fun (for me.) often comes from seeing it as a power play, a psychological play, and a way to leverage someone's state against them. Some lean into it as a way of putting a layer of kink over the act of helping a plural person actually fully realize they're a system.

All in all... It's a small subcommunity, but even so, it's got many facets to it. I do encourage you to seek more people in pluralplay communities out if you want to learn more.
