Exploring Kinks From Around the World

Let’s be honest, ladies: we’ve all had some kind of fetish or sexual fantasy...that many of us like to keep only to ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just like there’s also nothing wrong with opening up to a partner you trust, trying them out, and exploring your boundaries.

Whether it is to add spice to a long-term relationship, or just to have fun and test your limits in a fling, there’s a lot you can experiment with (even discover!) in the realm of sexuality. We’re talking stuff that might even surprise you in the end! As long as it’s consensual and safe, don’t be closed to taking things up a notch or two in the bedroom. While most people immediately assume being kinky means trying Bondage Discipline Sadism and Masochism (BDSM), you wouldn’t believe how far the sexual horizons can stretch if only you give them a chance. So, here’s a list of some kinks we put together to lead you to the right direction.

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

You may or may not be into taking cameras into the bedroom and watching the footage later, but what would you say to a live show? Yep...the technical term is Katoptronophilia (from the Greek word for mirror, katoptron), and it is the act of having sex in front of a mirror. Voyeurism (watching others have sex) may not be your thing, but watching yourself and your partner getting hot and dirty is likely to heighten your sensations way more than you think!

IGNITE THE SPARK

Do you remember the tingle you felt when you first met your partner? Well, how about you bring that spark back to the bedroom, quite literally? Using electricity to stimulate your sensation is a commonly used practice in BDSM, but you can try electric play on its own as well. There are a number of tools and wands towards that end, available in many countries, that are also totally safe.
