Details & Storyline

Fem reluctantly agrees, but when the sex becomes heavy-handed, Fem begs the boy to stop. To no avail. The next day, Fem wakes up with an itchy rash in the shape of handprints. The rash only gets worse until she discovers that her skin heals from consensual skin to skin contact. The skin condition teaches Fem that sex can also be liberating and shouldn't be violent.
