Exploring your personal kinks with your partner can be a thrilling and exciting adventure, but how many of us are squeamish when it comes to approaching the subject matter? Apparently many of us! It’s common to feel nervous or unsure when introducing new activities into the bedroom. But fear not! We’ve drummed up some helpful tips so you and your partner can explore your desires and have a fulfilling sex life.
Talk To Your Partner About Your Kinks
Although this may seem obvious, it’s a crucial step in building a healthy sex life. Be honest and open with your partner about your desires and fantasies, and encourage them to do the same. If you’re struggling to start the conversation, consider reading a book or article together or find an informational documentary to get the ball rolling.
Start Small
If you and your partner are new to kinks as a unit, it’s a good idea to start with something simple and less intense, like incorporating a new sex toy or trying a new position. This can help build trust and comfort between you and your partner before moving on to more complex kinks.
Set Clear Boundaries
Before trying any new activity, make sure to discuss and set clear boundaries with your partner. This includes things like what is and isn’t allowed, how to communicate if something feels uncomfortable or triggering, and what the safe words or signals are.
Be Open-Minded
While it’s important to respect each other’s boundaries, it’s also important to approach kink exploration with an open mind. Remember that not all kinks will be for you, but being open to trying new things and being curious about your partner’s desires can bring you closer together.
Explore Being Kinky Together
Kink navigation can be a great opportunity to try new things and discover what you and your partner both enjoy. Try attending a workshop or event together, or browsing online for inspiration. You might find a whole new set of kinks you’d like to explore together!
Keep The Romance Alive
Take your time and don’t rush into anything. Be patient and understanding with each other as you experience this exciting new territory. If things aren’t happening as quickly as you’d like it’s a great time to do romantic activities to nourish the bond you have together and take pressure off the situation. With the right attitude and communication, you and your partner can create a fulfilling sex life that satisfies all of your kinks and desires.
