The pandemic seems to have sparked a newfound curiosity among people, with more and more "newbies" dipping their toes into the enticing world of kink and non-monogamy. Could it be that the isolation and uncertainty of the past few years have fuelled a desire to shake things up and explore uncharted territories? It certainly seems that way!

In this blog post, I’ll be sharing my tips, insights, and personal experiences with you.

Spoiler alert: If you're reading this article, chances are you've already got that delightful spark of curiosity within you!

What is Kinky Sex? Unleash Your Erotic Creativity

Let's first talk about vanilla sex for a moment. It's the comforting embrace of loving touch, passionate kisses, sweet whispers, and those oh-so-pleasurable acts like penetration, masturbation, and oral delights. The missionary position is a classic go-to move that's often associated with vanilla sex. But hey, there's nothing wrong with indulging in some deliciously sweet vanilla moments when that's what you crave.

Kinky sex on the other hand, refers to any sexual practices that deviate from the traditional norms of vanilla sex. It's all about introducing an element of novelty, adventure, and pushing the boundaries of pleasure. From tantalizing bondage to sizzling sensation play, it's about igniting your erotic creativity. 

But here's the thing: kink is subjective. What may be considered “unusual” or “unconventional” for one person could be a regular part of someone else's sexual repertoire. It all depends on our unique perspectives, upbringing, and personal interests. So time to explore what’s out of the norm for you! 

Different Types of Kinky Activities: Ignite Your Curiosity

Now, let's captivate your imagination with some enticing kinky activities:

BDSM: In the world of kink, BDSM holds a special place. It stands for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism. BDSM is a broad spectrum of activities that involve power dynamics, sensation play, and exploration of roles. It's important to note that engaging in BDSM requires clear communication, consent, and negotiation between all participants. Here are a few key elements of BDSM:

Bondage: Surrender control or take charge while learning the art of restraint. Explore your senses using bondage toys such as handcuffs, rope, or silky scarves. Bondage can range from light and playful to intricate and intense. It's all about embracing vulnerability, trust, and a whole lot of anticipation.

Discipline: Ever played with the idea of being naughty and receiving a sexy punishment? Discipline in BDSM refers to setting rules, engaging in role-playing scenarios, and exploring punishments and rewards. This can range from light spanking as a form of discipline to more elaborate scenarios.

Dominance/Submission: Enter the realm of power dynamics, where one partner takes on a dominant role while the other embraces submission. It's like entering a seductive dance of control and surrender. These roles can be fluid and may change based on preferences and negotiation. 

Sadism and Masochism: Prepare yourself for a thrilling ride on the pleasure-pain spectrum. Sadism involves finding pleasure in being in control, causing pain (with consent), or exerting power. Masochism, on the other hand, is all about relishing the sensations of pain, surrendering control, and finding pleasure in those beautifully intense moments. 

Role-playing: Slip into the shoes of a naughty nurse, a seductive teacher, or a mysterious stranger. Let your imagination run wild and indulge in thrilling scenarios that bring out your hidden fantasies. Time to get creative!

Sensory Play: Discover the joy of teasing your senses. Experiment with blindfolds, feathers, ice cubes, or impact toys to enhance pleasure and heighten your sensory experience. Ignite those nerve endings with an exciting combination of pleasure and a bit of pain to create a sensational experience.

Fetish Exploration: Unleash your desire for specific objects, materials, or body parts. Whether you're into feet, latex, or something entirely unique, fetishes allow you to indulge in something that may seem a bit strange to some, but can be a turn on for others. 

Group Play: Threesomes, foursomes, moresomes, oh my! Group sex refers to engaging in sexual activities with multiple consenting individuals, where the focus is on exploring and fulfilling shared fantasies within a group setting. It often involves elements of exhibitionism, voyeurism, and the opportunity to navigate complex dynamics among participants.

Fetish, Kink and Sex ClubsNow let's not forget the exciting world of adult themed playgrounds! If the idea of watching or being watched sends shivers down your spine and stirs up those primal desires, then you're definitely tapping into your kinky side! Sex clubs offer a thrilling playground for exploring voyeurism, exhibitionism, and even the potential for group play if that's something that excites you. It’s important to approach these spaces with caution and respect. Do your research on play party etiquette, familiarize yourself with the rules of the club, and have open and honest conversations with your partner or playmates about agreements, limits, and interests. 


Remember, kinky activities can be enjoyed safely when approached with respect, knowledge, consent, and open communication. Consent should be enthusiastic, ongoing, and freely given by all parties involved and can be withdrawn at any time. It's always recommended to engage in ongoing learning, seek guidance from experienced practitioners or educators, and prioritize the well-being of all involved.

Unlock Your Kink Potential: Choose Your Own Adventure

During this journey, you may have discovered activities that ignited a curiosity, leaving you eager to explore. And that's fantastic! Embrace those curiosities and indulge in the pleasures that truly resonate with you. But let me remind you that it’s okay if some kinky activities don't tickle your fancy. This doesn’t mean you aren’t kinky! What I realized throughout my journey is that we're all unique, and what matters most is finding the things that bring satisfaction and happiness to both you and your partner(s).

In this realm of adventure, trust and clear communication are your faithful companions. They hold the key to unlocking new heights of pleasure while ensuring your boundaries are respected.

Now, let me share a little wisdom that was passed down to me by a dear friend. She once told me that she always gave things not just one or two, but three tries. Why, you might ask? Well, just in case something wasn't quite right the first couple of times. Isn't that intriguing? Of course, if you discover that you absolutely don't want to try something again, that is 110% okay. Your desires and boundaries are yours to honour.

But here's an invitation for you: if something doesn't work out for you the first time, consider the circumstances. Maybe someone's mood was off, the physical environment didn't quite set the right mood, or perhaps the toy you used wasn't the perfect fit or the right type for your preference. Remember, circumstances can change, and sometimes giving things another shot under different conditions (or trying them with a different person) can lead to delightful surprises.

Embrace this journey of self-discovery with an open mind and an adventurous spirit. Trust yourself, communicate with your partner(s), and create your own path of pleasure, passion, and satisfaction. This is your story, your adventure, and it's up to you to choose the path that feels right for you. Embrace the thrill, cherish the connection, and let your desires guide you to new heights of pleasure and fulfillment while embracing the joy of kinky sex.
