Rape is pretty much by its nature an NC-17 issue.

Dub-con is, yes, dubious consent. And yes, it's that stuff. Usual use of it is when someone is pressured into going along with things, but never actually says no, and sort-of ends up enjoying. It's a hazy, rather grey area. I'd generally use it if a participant was not 100% consenting. Some badslashers like to write stories where one character is soooo persuasive that they talk the other into it by their OMG TEH AMAYZING SECKS POWARZ - it starts off non-con and ends up pretty much consenting. That I'd also call dub-con, but not a lot of badslashers actually bother to warn for things like that, so *shrug*.

As with everything, it's always best to warn. People might like surprises in their stories, but not these kinds :)
