When will I actually be kinky enough to call myself a Kinkster?
The term “kinky” derives from the idea of a “bend” in sexual behavior, contrasting with “straight” sexual norms and “vanilla” inclinations.
A kinkster is anyone who does not solely prefer conventional, societally accepted sex. The fact that you’re browsing our BDSM magazine could already be a sign that you are a kinkster. As you can see, it is primarily a broad term for people who are enthusiastic about specific, often unusual or alternative sexual interests. These interests can range from bondage and discipline to various types of role-playing.
Those who live without any reference to or knowledge about BDSM and hold outdated moral conventions might use different terms: aberrant, unconventional, or perverse. Fortunately, we are among ourselves and well-informed here. It is important to emphasize that these preferences are not unusual or abnormal, but rather represent another dimension of human sexuality.
One does not have to be “kinky” enough to call oneself a kinkster, nor do they need to choose whether they prefer to play top or bottom or engage in specific practices. Kinkster is simply a synonym for “BDSM practitioners,” “kink enthusiasts,” or many other related terms. We at Deviance also frequently use the term when referring to you and/or the community.
In addition to being used as a broad term, “kinkster” is also available as a BDSM role option on Deviance. What does this entail?
What roles is a Kinkster related to?
Probably with everyone. Simply because it is a comprehensive term that fits anyone who is driven by curiosity. Whether you participate in kinky activities with power dynamics, role-playing, sadomasochism, or not, are simply interested, practice fetishes or not, have already defined other roles and preferences or not.
Who matches with a Kinkster?
One could equally ask: Who fits someone who is into BDSM or has a fetish? It depends on individual preferences. As a general term, “Kinkster” does not reveal much about specific kinks, preferred play styles, or scenarios. One thing is clear, though: as with anyone else, the key criteria are sympathy and a certain curiosity to make new experiences and explore one’s own limits and preferences.
The person might also be just starting to explore the world of BDSM and hasn’t yet settled on specific preferences. Especially when it comes to beginners, those on the other side should remain mindful. In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to exceed the amount of experience that benefits both parties.
As a Kinkster it is important that…
Overall, Kinksters are individuals distinguished by their openness to alternative sexual experiences and preferences. Regardless of the specifics, the fundamental rules of BDSM apply. This means that it’s crucial for everyone involved in these dynamics to prioritize consent, communication, and respect, to ensure a positive and fulfilling experience and to take responsibility for oneself and others.
Even if your play is less formal, it’s still important to familiarize yourself with key BDSM principles like SSC and RACK, and to establish a safeword with your respective partners.
