We all have a little kink. Most people have that little, or big, something that just "does it'' for them. If you do not, you probably just have not found yours yet. Kink is more common than you think, in and out of the bedroom. Here is a glimpse of some of the most popular and common kinks people get off on. So feel free to explore these and other kinks to spice things up in the bedroom and in your relationship. These may just help you find what “ does it” for you?

• Foot fetish

This is a common one and very prevalent in pop culture. Having a "thing" for feet or even shoes is one of the top kinks reported. Heterosexual men in particular seem it be "into" feet. From foot worship to wanting to be walked on, there are limitless possibilities for foot play. Nylons and fishnets are often incorporated into this kink. People can enjoy pampering their partners feet, which can be enjoyable even if you do not particularly have a foot fetish per se.

• Bondage

Another common kink is bondage. Bondage can range from light tying of the hands with a scarf to intricate rope play. It is often a beginner kink, or a way to begin to experiment with your more daring side in the bedroom. Handcuffs are also a common way of exploring the kink. Communication and use of safe words are critical to safe and sane bondage play. The trust required for bondage can help develop your relationship. There are many styles of light bondage items now including glow in the dark, pretty colors and rhinestone embellishments to fit everyone’s bondage preferences or decor of your “sex room” . Of course, leather is the most durable and most common.

• Role Play

Role play is probably the easiest and hardest kink to get into at the same time. It takes no real accessories, unless you are getting really intricate, but it takes open communication with your partner. Telling your fantasies to your partner can be daunting, but acting out those fantasies can be so rewarding for both your sex life and your relationship. Whether you are "playing doctor" or want to act out a favorite romance novel trope, be honest and have fun. Let your imaginations run wild. Role play can be a great reason to treat yourself to some sexy lingerie or costumes to spice up your storyline.

• Impact Play

As we have discussed before on the blog, impact play is also a common kink for couples to explore. Beginning with a light spanking with a hand and building up to more intense impact toys, impact play should be explored with plenty of communication and ongoing consent. Flogging can also be practiced as a part of impact play and is becoming more and more popular.

• Domination and Submission

This is a little more intense, but is still accessible for beginners. Again, there is a wide gamut of access points. Having one partner dominant and the other submissive is a common kink. It also takes a lot of honest communication to establish rules and boundaries for both partners. Safe words are again important. From giving your partner orders to acting out elaborate "scenes" there is a wide range of acts to research and imagine.

Kink is a natural part of sex. Exploring new kinks can breathe new life into our sex lives and sometimes our relationships.
