Sex is like ice cream. Yummy, delicious ice cream. It makes life a little sweeter and a little more exciting. And in the glorious ice cream sundae of sex, kinky activities are the toppings: not at all necessary, but, when you’re in the mood for them, delightful. If you’ll allow me to push the ice cream metaphor a little farther, in the kink world, regular ol’ sex is referred to as “vanilla.” This is NOT to imply that “normal” or “regular” un-kinky sex is boring, because it is NOT. (There’s a rea vanilla is, year after year, the most popular ice cream flavor in the world.) For some people, though, it is simply a starting point. Defining kink is tricky, because it could refer to an endless number of sexual proclivities that veer from vanilla sex, but the most popular variety of kink is probably BDSM, which stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. I’ve been into BDSM since I started having sex as a , and while I’ve had plenty of vanilla sex that has been mind-blowing and awesome, it’s the kinky sexytimes that stand out as the ones I’ve enjoyed most. I remember the very first time I bound my partner in restraints (more about those in a minute); I was 18 and I thought to myself, Holy crap, this is so hot, AHHHHH, I WANNA DO THIS FOREVER. Engaging in BDSM allows me to feel a tremendous amount of freedom and agency with my sexuality. It makes me feel alive. And it’s incredibly thrilling to explore fantasies about power and pleasure with a partner I trust and that is willing to put their trust in me. Kink is enjoyed by people of all different sexualities and gender expressions and bodies and religions and ages. Unfortunately, our culture has a nasty habit of shaming sexuality, so it can be difficult to consider kinky desires “normal.” If you’ve ever thought about supplementing your sex life with kink, it is NOT because you are perverted or sexually deviant—it is because kink is hot! It is crazy hot! And a heck of a lot of fun! Truth be told, kinky sex is also way more common than you think it is: Lots and lots of people have engaged in it at some point in their sex lives. If, by chance, you have ever been interested in what kink, and specifically BDSM, is all about…read on! BDSM has been practiced as long as humans have been doin’ it, which is to say for a long-ass time. At its core, BDSM is playtime with power dynamics. There are generally two “roles” that people play in BDSM scenarios: Dominants (or “doms,” or “dommes”) enjoy giving orders and being in charge. (A subcategory of domination is practiced by people who enjoy inflicting consensual, controlled doses of pain—this is called sadism.) Submissives enjoy being dominated, restrained, or otherwise controlled (again, consensually) by someone else. (When pain is involved, the submissive’s part of the program is called masochism.) If the sadism/masochism part of that explanation scared you, let me reassure you that the ground rules of kinky sex are built on FUN and PLEASURE, which means, I will not be doing anything that you would not explicitly want me to do! You know how when you’re running a long distance, there’s an element of discomfort (physical, mental, and/or emotional) that not only is tolerable, but feels good? That’s the kind of pain I’m talking about here. Not everyone enjoys it, obviously, but no one is getting hurt in a way that they aren’t totally thrilled by. Being dominant or submissive is an expression of your sexuality, and it doesn’t have to have anything to do with the rest of your non-sex life. People who are submissive are not pushovers, and people who are dominant are not scary psychopaths. In fact, some people like going back and forth between domination and submission; they’re known as “switches,” or “versatile.” Does the thought of telling someone what to do turn you on? Or have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be tied up while someone does delicious things to your body? This is where your private, peral sexuality comes into play—only you can determine how much power you are willing to wield or relinquish. As with a lot of sexual activity, experimentation is key, but with kink it is essential to experiment after some core issues are worked out, which is what we’re going to discuss next. I want to pause here to point out that having what’s traditionally thought of as S-E-X is not a requirement for doing kinky things. We can engage in BDSM activities (referred to as “play”) without anyone’s genitals being involved in any way. An essential thing to keep in mind before you even think about engaging in BDSM with a partner: Only do this kind of thing with someone you trust absolutely, 100 percent, without question. You need to know that I will not take advantage of any sexy situation or cross any boundaries and will always keep your utmost safety in mind. To put it bluntly, you need to know that I will not hurt you. In terms of importance, pleasure comes third, after safety and trust. Next, we need to agree upon a safe word. A safe word is the off button for any BDSM play—a word you can say if you’re feeling uncomfortable for any rea, at any time, whether you’re playing the dom or sub role. ANY TIME you feel like a sexual scenario (or “scene” in BDSM parlance) is on the verge of going too far, you can deploy this word and everything stops, IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked, no negotiation attempted. There’s a lot of debate in the BDSM community about the best way to select a safe word, but I recommend something totally ridiculous or otherwise nonsexual. Yelling something like “PEPPERONI PIZZA!” tends to bring sex to a screeching halt, giving both partners a moment to catch their breath and assess the scene. (The “Cacao!” bit from Portlandia illustrates this concept pretty perfectly.) Next, we need to talk about boundaries. Obviously, a boundary is a line in the sand that means DO NOT CROSS. Before you have sex or play around with BDSM, know what your peral sexual boundaries are: What do you NOT want to do? This can include things that trigger you, or just stuff that doesn’t feel good to you or that you’re simply not interested in. You don’t have to justify your boundaries to me. If you don’t want to do something, that’s rea enough not to do it, and anyone who tries to pry or argue with you about it is not worth your trust or your time. Kick them to the curb! In BDSM, the submissive tends to be the one who explicitly identifies how far they are willing to go in a scene. Once that framework has been laid out, it is the job of the dominant to act ONLY within what was outlined by boundaries. The dom may suggest an activity they would like to try, but the submissive is the one who says yes or no. So, lets picked out a safe word and have a looong, thorough conversation about boundaries with one another, and then we can think about how we would like to enjoy our time together. I’m going to describe some of the types of kinky play we can engage in, whether we’re having sex or not. Bondage. Bondage means restricting a per’s physical movement, usually by tying them up or using something like handcuffs. But you can practice bondage with no gear at all, e.g., if a dom orders a sub not to move certain parts of their body. If you’re using physical restraints, I like them at your wrists and/or ankles. Trust is required when restraining someone by the neck! I perally like using restraints with a lining because they are comfortable and can be quickly removed. You can also use a body harness. Spanking. Loads of people of all genders like having their bums spanked either during intercourse, or as a foreplay activity. When spanking, use the palm of your hand, but keep your fingers together for more control and to avoid unexpected fingernail scratches. (If it starts to hurt badly in any way, shape, or form, use our safe word!) There are a variety of toys you can use to maximize the fun—paddles, riding crops, whips, and, my peral favorite, the cat o’ nine tails. After a good spanking sesh, I recommend a light butt massage to increase the blood flow (and because that whole area will be extra-sensitive and tingly afterwards!). . Have you ever relaxed on a massage table and enjoyed having strong hands kneed your tense muscles, and put your body and mind at ease? During that very same have your wished your masseuses hands would tease farther up your inner thigh…. How can your mind not wander as I leave it at that. There are a million other ways to get kinky, and I’ve really only just scratched the surface of BDSM here. If you have lingering questions, I suggest reaching out to me so that we may put to rest any misconceptions and explore Kink together. If you think BDSM sounds hot, let’s go for it! Vanilla ice cream is tasty and all, but don’t some sprinkles sound nice?
