What is a “kink”?

Have you ever heard the term “kink” or “kinky”?

In fact, the term "kink" or "kinky" sexuality refers to a sexuality that is labeled as outside the norm unlike vanilla sexuality, which is called conventional according to society. "Kinky" sexuality is a sexuality with sexual fantasies and sexual practices ("kinks") that are identified as deviant. It is important to note that the judgment of what is conventional and deviant in relation to sexuality was determined many years ago according to societal norms that have evolved today.

In the 70s, there was a movement to claim the right to have a more libertine sexuality and the culture of "kink" by a community that had long been sidelined. Indeed, "kink" has long been stigmatized and continues to be so to this day. On the other hand, according to a study at the University of Montreal in 2014, "few fantasies are unusual or rare, although they are qualified as atypical in the DSM-5."

Moreover, Fleur Sauvage Lingerie wishes to join the fight against the stigmatization of the "kink" culture to be able to demonstrate that sexual fantasies and sexual practices are an opportunity to explore sensations to promote better sexual satisfaction. We also specify, in consent, the safety and respect of all parties involved.

Kinky Sexuality and the Importance of Consent

Sexuality with "kinks" involves practices such as sexual domination and submission, bondage, fetishes, etc. When we talk about "kinks", it is also important to know that some associated practices are not sexual, but rather to "challenge" oneself and seek sensations in a different way. For example, "shibari" is a bondage practice that consists of tying a person with ropes either on the ground or at a height to generally encourage submission.

So there are many ways to experience one or more "kinks", one thing is certain is that consent is always put forward in the "kinky" culture. Unfortunately, in the stigmatization of BDSM and "kink" practices, violence is often associated with it. This is why when promoting "kinky" sexuality, it is important to specify that being safe, confident and able to give consent at any time during a "kink" practice is essential. Without consent, the practice becomes sexual violence and is no longer considered BDSM or "kinky" sexuality.

Examples of “kinks”

Some kinks have been more publicized than others, not necessarily in a positive sense and often in a humorous sense. Which means that the image we have of kinks is quite limited.

Several popular references have addressed foot fetishism, for example, which consists of having a strong sexual attraction to this part of the body. We then speak of the desire to touch, lick, or look at them which causes a large percentage of a person's sexual arousal or the entirety of their sexual fantasies and needs.

We also often see a representation in the media of the heterosexual stereotype of the rich man and his submissive partner as in the series Fifty Shades of Grey which had a great influence on the collective imagination regarding the definition of kinky sexuality. However, this cinematic reality does not represent the majority of kinky culture.

So here are some more examples of kinks:

  1. Lingerie and body accessories (our favorite)

Being aroused by the fabric and appearance of lingerie on a body. (Lace, sheer mesh, latex, leather, etc.). There can also be being aroused by lingerie that has been worn and not washed for the body odors attached.

  1. Voyeurism and katoptronophilia

Being aroused by seeing sexual acts and by the practice of watching oneself masturbate in front of a mirror.

  1. Role playing games

Being excited by playing out a scenario or power relationship with fictional or predetermined roles.

  1. Nipple fetishism

Being aroused by nipple stimulation.

  1. Urophilia

To be aroused by urinating on someone or having someone urinate on you.

  1. "Cuckolding"

Being aroused by seeing one's partner having sex with another person.

  1. "Auralism"

Being excited by sounds, so rubbing of bodies, moans, etc.

  1. Orgasm control (“edging”)

Being turned on by controlling the timing of your partner's orgasm or your orgasm during masturbation.

  1. Impact game

Being aroused by being hit with a hand or implement such as a whip, riding crop, or paddle.

  1. "Praise kink"

Being turned on by being complimented, encouraged, and rewarded. The popularized terms “good girl/good boy” can be associated with this kink.

  1. Bondage

To be aroused by being tied up or tying up a person.

  1. Tentacles

Being aroused by the stimulation of objects or sex toys with animal tentacle shapes.

Our perception, at Fleur Sauvage Lingerie, is that there are as many "kinks" and sexual preferences as there are humans. That's why it's important to be able to talk about it and learn how to communicate well about sexuality to promote consent and erotic fulfillment for all.
