5 Sexual Kinks People Are Curious To Explore

LOADING ERROR LOADING Kink is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of sexual interests and behaviors that fall outside of the conventional “vanilla” appetite. And, crucially, BDSM “involves clear communication and consent, often outlined in advance through contracts or agreements.” It’s a way for people to explore power dynamics, trust and vulnerability, he said. In a partnered dynamic, one person is intentionally put in charge of controlling the other’s orgasm; meanwhile, the receiver gets to experience “intense anticipation and heightened sensations of delayed pleasure,” sex therapist Janet Brito, founder of the Hawaii Center for Sexual and Relationship Health, told HuffPost. Primal Play Battle has clients who describe their ideal sexual dynamic as “very active and embodied,” she said, including things like wrestling, rolling around and hair-pulling. Battle has helped them identify this kink as “primal play.” The website Kinkly defines it as “raw, instinctual behaviors and the shedding of societal norms and inhibitions” that typically fall under the general BDSM umbrella.
