So you’re interested in getting kinky? You’re not alone! A 2015 Sexual Exploration Study found more than 22 percent of sexually active adults engage in role-playing, while more than 20 percent have explored being tied up and/or spanked. More than ever I’m hearing my clients speak about their kink curiosities, and research backs this up, with another survey finding nearly half of the 1,040 people surveyed were curious about trying kink for the first time. It’s clear the interest is fairly common - though how you actually go about it will be different for everyone. It doesn’t have to involve pain, power dynamics, or dressing head to toe in latex - though it certainly can! While the word kink doesn’t have a technical definition, it essentially means ANYTHING that bends from the ‘straight and narrow’. And when you think of it this way- it can be as simple as doing something slightly different to your go-to sexual répertoire.
As you’re new to this, I want you to consider a few things before you jump right in so that you feel prepped, supported and excited about this experience.
