What are kinks?
Whether you’re craving to try something new or you need inspiration for either your content or topics to talk about or you want to explore new options but don’t know where to start, don’t worry. We’ve got you.
But let’s start with the basics, what is a kink? It could be defined as an “unconventional sexual taste or behavior.” This indicates something slightly out of the ordinary vanilla sex gives your pleasure. It could be using handcuffs, trying a butt plug, and/or being turned on by the feeling of latex on your skin. A fetish, on the other hand, is something you need in order to get turned on.
We’ve put together a list of the most common kinks and practices for you to try. But don’t forget that if you’ll be trying out any of these practices with someone you should have their consent and you should be on the same page on what is about to happen so that nobody is put in a vulnerable position. Now that we’ve made that clear, let’s start.
A list of popular kinks to try
-
Role-playing
Playing characters outside of your day-to-day life as a part of a sex scene Cosplay - Dressing up in costumes and make-up representing characters from anime, video games, television, and film.
-
Pregnancy fetish
Sexual attraction to some or all aspects of pregnancy (for instance getting turned on by the round belly, lactation, breastfeeding, or the milk itself).
-
Exhibitionism
To feel sexual arousal at the idea or reality of being seen naked or engaged in sexual activities by others (involves practices like public flashing, careful with this one).
-
Voyeurism
Being excited and turned on by watching or hearing others engaging in sex acts or even being told about other people’s sexual experiences.
-
Foot fetish
Very common, people with foot fetishes may be submissives and have a desire to “worship” at someone’s feet through kissing and massage or even by giving them a pedicure. Other people enjoy an aspect of humiliation and want to be stomped on or have smelly feet on their faces.
-
Nylon fetish
Someone who needs nylon to feel arousal. This means liking the look or the feeling when touching someone’s legs in nylon stockings or wearing them yourself. Very often it goes hand in hand with the feet fetish.
-
Breath play
Referring to a BDSM practice of having a restricted breath during sex. But obviously, this is not exactly safe so a better alternative is holding your own breath.
-
BDSM
This is a big one. The B and D are for bondage and discipline, the D and S are for domination and submission, and the S and M are for sadism and masochism. BDSM stands for a spectrum of sexual behaviors and preferences in these categories. It often involves tying, spanking, and putting on chains, sometimes it doesn’t even involve sex per se. If you’re into BDSM it’s good to have some safe words to use while practicing it so that all involved are comfortable.
-
Dominant and submissive (switching)
These are more identity-based terms. Usually a dominant is someone who enjoys dominating their partner through various kinky practices of erotic humiliation, either physical like choking, or mental like calling someone names. The submissive partner wants being dominated and being the one who is consensually tied up, slapped, or humiliated. Switching stands for changing between the two roles.
-
Golden showers and piss play
Involves peeing on someone on different parts of their body, wetting clothes, or making someone hold in their pee as part of the scene play.
-
Cuckolding
A cuck is a submissive who identifies as male and gets off on his partner having sex with someone else, usually a more “traditionally” masculine person.
-
Cbt
Refers to cock and ball torture, pretty self-explanatory, and usually involves a dominatrix inflicting consensual pain on a submissive’s genitals.
-
Impact play
Usually done by a dominant to a submissive, refers to hitting or spanking a partner’s body, all should be consensual and include a safe word.
-
24/7
Dominant and submissive roles are played on a full-time 24-hour basis.
-
Age play
Consenting adults enter a scene that involves taking on roles and ages that aren’t their own. Involves a lot of “mommy” and “daddy” calling.
-
Fisting
The act of inserting an entire hand, or fist into a bodily orifice like the vagina or rectum. We recommend using lube during such practices for a smoother process.
-
Orgasm control “edging”
The submissive partner allows the dominant partner to decide when they get to come. Edging involves sexual stimulation to the point just before orgasm, before stopping or slowing down again.
