One of my characters is being blackmailed into having sex, is this allowed?

There's nothing specific there about blackmail and I think it depends on context and how it plays into consent. A mod will hopefully chime in.

On a difficult journey home, Kate finds love and sex in a fellow traveler.
And I first introduced Kate as a university student whose first time kind of sets the stage for her new story.

This one (which is linked from that one) is helpful, too, but deals more with style and such rather than allowed content.

I would say its generally ok, as long as, like Seeker mentions, it doesnt cross the line into Non consent. I have a story that essentially a character gets blackmailed, but the character still has the choice to have sex or not. End of the day, there is even a 'Reluctance' story category, where this would fit.

The decision to have sex (ie give in to the blackmail) has to be a willing decision made between realistic options where the 'victim' chooses to have sex vs. the threatened alternative. "Fuck me or I'm going to kill you" isn't a realistic option. "Fuck me or I'm going to share some secret that will embarrass you" is. We can't make a master list of what is or isn't allowable, but the guiding principle should be - could someone reasonably choose either option? The idea is that someone reluctantly agrees after weighing the options, not someone being given the option to have sex vs. disproportionately dire consequences.
