Staying with our kink theme for one more blog (OK there may be one or two more somewhere down the line!) here is a glossary of terms frequently used in the Kink World. Cos you just never know when they\u2019ll come in handy!<\/p>\n
Kink:<\/strong> This is a fairly general term that covers all bases and includes everything from fetish and fantasy to role play, games, kinky sex, BDSM, sadomasochism and dominance and submission. So if you happen to hook up with someone who tells you they\u2019re into \u2018Kink\u2019 it might be worth asking them to elaborate \u2013 just in case you\u2019re not a fan of pain!<\/p>\n BDSM: <\/strong>This is an abbreviation of B&D which stand for bondage and discipline, and D&S or sadism and masochism. BDSM antics usually involve the consensual (an absolute must) use of constraint \u2013 usually ropes but can involve straps, handcuffs and other restraining devices. Sensory stimulation and power play are also very important in this type of sexual expression. If you\u2019ve never tried it before, we\u2019d recommend it. It can be a pretty intense experience!<\/p>\n Dominant:<\/strong> This is the person who takes the \u2018power\u2019 role in kink play. Men are usually referred to as Dom, while females are known as Dominatrix, Femdomme or Domme. The Dom\/Domme might take on the role of disciplinarian, parent, teacher, abductor, owner or whatever else floats their kinky boat while the other person in the power play is the submissive. In a \u2018scene\u2019 (seriously someone needs to write a kink play!) the Dominant is the person in charge and is therefore known as the Top, while the sub is known as the Bottom and has things done to them. Still with us? Good \u2013 pop quiz later \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n A switch:<\/strong> This is someone who gets a kick out of playing both roles and is happy to switch around in the scene. Anyone who is new to the Kink world usually tries switching for a while until they discover where their natural talents lie, so to speak!<\/p>\n A scene:<\/strong> As you\u2019ll probably have figured out this is the space where people let their kinky imaginations run wild and act out their fantasies. Play is also another term commonly used in BDSM. If you\u2019re someone\u2019s Dom or Sub you might be referred to as their \u2018play partner\u2019.<\/p>\n Limits:<\/strong> Before the whips, chains and handcuffs come out it\u2019s really important to establish what your limits are, be they mental or physical. Your Dom\/Domme might really get off on the idea of being a slave owner and having you as their slave, but at no point should you ever feel degraded. It\u2019s not at all what role play is about. If you start to feel shit about what\u2019s going on use that safe word!<\/p>\n Safeword:<\/strong> It\u2019s common in BDSM for people to use a pre-agreed safe word that let\u2019s the other person know you\u2019re not exactly over the moon about how something is developing. Lots of Kinksters use \u2018yellow\u2019 and \u2018red\u2019 for obvious reasons. If this doesn\u2019t work for you, as we mentioned in a previous blog, there\u2019s always the good old fashioned stop!<\/p>\n Consent:<\/strong> A no-grey-areas agreement that you give your consent to what is about to happen. This is the bedrock of all kink activities. We are all entitled to do whatever the hell we like with whomever the hell we like in the comfort and privacy of our own homes \u2013 just as long as all players in the scene know exactly what the script is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Staying with our kink theme for one more blog (OK there may be one or two more somewhere down the line!) here is a glossary of terms frequently used in the Kink World.
