The Fine Art of Kink Persuasion – Priming Your Partner For Sexual Experimentation

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Not everyone has the sexual capacity to embrace kink, and not all forms of safe, sane, consensual kink are embraceable by those who do. Some like to be dominating. Some like to be submissive. Some like to be spanked. Some like to spank. Some like to restrain. Some like to be restrained. Some like to worship feet. Some like to be urinated on. Some like to do housework naked.

If it’s conceivable, there’s someone out there who likes it and probably more than a few websites devoted to it. The problem is that an unshared kink becomes a burden. You want or rather need to treat someone or be treated by someone in a very specific way, but finding that person seems next to impossible.

GLBTQ – Alphabet Soup

GLBTQ. It’s an acronym that you may have heard mentioned in certain newspapers or magazines, or named in flyers on a college campus. This term is a catch-all designed to identify and include those whose sexuality is something other than “heteronormative”. Heteronormative is a word that gives a nod to how common – and unfortunately how phobic – heterosexuality, a relationship between a man and a woman, often is. Much like Americans abroad that become annoying tourists when they can’t stop exclaiming how weird something different to them is, GLBTQ is a shield to signify a welcoming group who does not judge or exclude on partner or personal sexual preference.
