What does it mean to be kinky or to have a kink? By definition, a kink suggests there is a bend in the works, somewhere. When applied to your desire, having a kink means there’s likely a twist to your sexuality — that somewhere in there, you want something that is seen as not traditional or customary. You can consider that to be your starting point.
An exciting, safe, and fun guide to a spicier side of sex Kink For Dummies is a safe, positive, and easy-to-read roadmap to expanding (and exploring!) your sexual and personal horizons. It walks you through kink basics, shattering stigmas and myths as it goes, and explains how you can integrate these unique-to-you desires into your life using a mutual consent and respect framework.
