Breaking the Stigma of Kinks: It's Not What You Think

It is safe to say that we're far from the first generation to ever know or talk about kinks. They have been around for quite a while, and to every fan's benefit, they quite progressed over the years. Today, many kinks can be fulfilled in a safer, healthier and more considerate way, that ensures mutual comfort of both partners, alongside pleasure, support, consent and enjoyment. So, what's to know about kinks exactly?

Kinks Don't Have to Be Uncomfortable

Let's get the record straight - kinks don't have to feel weird, cause pain, or lead to discomfort. However, some kinks can feel more intense or specific and can create all sorts of sensations you desire. For inexperienced kinkers out there, having a safe word and a mutual understanding with your partner of what you want to do in bed can be nifty tools to guide you through the process.

After-care is an Integral Part of the Experience

Since some kinks, like BDSM and sub-dom scenarios, have notoriety for being more eccentric, it is assumed that the kink is the only thing to the experience. However, every kinky action will require a suitable after-care, which then helps build intimacy, trust, and reliability between those involved in it. Even if things don't go too far, still taking the time to care for one another can actually make your kinky play that more inviting to try.

Starting Small Does the Job

Again, there is this odd connection that links kinks with extreme scenarios. However, even a simple watching session can be kinky without even requiring body contact. So, kinks are more about the things that make you hot and excited, things you wouldn't typically do. And so, they can indicate every small thing, like feet play, light bondage, sumbissive scenarios, role-play, etc. Therefore, don't be overwhelmed with what a kink is, but consider what you are comfortable and horny enough to try- with consent, that is.

You Live and You Learn

The great thing about kinks is that you never really know what you're into until you give it a try. For instance, if your partner suggests you try a kink like role-playing - or going about it in public - and you never considered these ideas in the first place, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. So, kinks are excellent tools for exploration, to a limit.

Boundaries are Pivotal

Setting boundaries, or knowing the things you will agree to and say ‘no' to, is a great skill to have. Being able to share your limits with someone else will make them feel more aware as well, and they'll be more open to sharing their boundaries with you. While thinking of boundaries, come up with a safeword as well, so you can indicate how comfortable you are with whatever is taking place.
