Kink
Lifestyle Glossary · play-dynamics
Kink is a broad term for sexual interests, activities, or fantasies that fall outside of conventional sexual norms. Kink encompasses a wide spectrum — from mild role-playing and light bondage to more intense BDSM practices. In the lifestyle community, kink is generally used as an umbrella term for any non-vanilla sexual interest. Having a kink does not mean you participate in BDSM or the lifestyle; it simply means you have sexual interests beyond conventional sex. Kink-positive means being accepting and non-judgmental toward people's diverse sexual interests.
