Kink corner

Since the beginning of time, we’ve all been a little freaky. Everyone has something, certain things that may be a little taboo. From nipple clamps to pup play and everything in between I plan to talk about it all.

Welcome to Kink Corner.

I’m Pup Kermit, and for a few years now I have been exploring the kink scene, including pup play, bondage and hardcore BDSM to name a few. My goal with the Kink Corner is to address the taboo around kink and to bring to the surface an open discussion on things not really spoken.

Over the next four editions of RedThread we’ll present on topics such as:

• Submission and giving over your power willingly

• Power play for dummies, how to role play ethically

• Taboo and the law, when kink can go a little too far

• Dominant and Submissive, not just about bedroom positions

• Just because it’s not your kink doesn’t make it gross

Let me go into a summary of what you can expect from these topics.

Submission and giving over your power willingly

Investigate power dynamics in a kinky relationship, from your stereotypical relationships of a dominant daddy and a submissive princess, to your more modern takes on kinky relationships of submissive men with dominant people regardless of gender. Read about the mindset of a sub why people enjoy being submissive and why people enjoy giving up their control and power for a submissive role in kink.

Power play for dummies, how to role play ethically

Discover different power plays in kink from your roles previously mentioned to your more taboos such as pup/handler and caregiver/ little power plays. Learn how to play these roles ethically and the importance of aftercare after entering these spaces.

Taboo and the law, when kink can go a little too far

Explore consent, taboo kinks, and what laws are in place to protect kinky people. Know what to do when kink can go a little too far how, and how to manage and discuss for future play so you don’t feel a scene has gone too far.

Dominant and Submissive, not just about bedroom positions

Touch up on dominant and submissive roles, how a stereotypical dom isn’t always what we think when we hear the word and how a sub isn’t what we envision when we hear the word. Read about how a Sub/Dom dynamic can come out of the bedroom and what that looks like.

Just because it’s not your kink doesn’t make it gross

Investigate different kinds of kink such as pegging, water sports, choking and pet play, and how just cause it’s not a turn-on for you doesn’t mean that it’s gross or wrong. Learn to be mindful of kink-shaming, Hard limits vs soft limits and why curiosity is the best thing when it comes to kink.

Welcome to the little teaser of Kink Corner and what to anticipate. I’m going to leave you with this recommendation: Watch the video by Watts the Safeword called ‘Kink 101 – let’s talk about sex.’ You'll find it on YouTube.
