5 . Lingerie
Renye says that one of the most common fetishes centers on something that may be sitting inside your dresser right now : lingerie . “[ This ] may show up in sexual play between and among individuals who may not even consider them- selves kinky or to have a fetish ( or two or three ),” she says . Again , while many people get aroused by sexy underwear , lingerie becomes a fetish when someone needs it to be present in a sexual scenario in order to fully engage or get off .
6 . Group Sex
Group sex is getting it on with more than one person . If you ve ever swiped on Tinder , you re likely aware that many couples are searching for a third , although group sex can mean more than just a threesome . An orgy is when a group of people of all genders have sex , while a gang bang typically refers to one per- son having sex with more than two members of another gender ( while the term can have violent connotations , it s also used in the kink community to refer to consensual scenarios ).
7 . Sensation Play
Sensation play can refer to a huge range of activities based on the receiving or withholding of different stimuli . For instance , one partner may blindfold the oth- er to deprive them of their sense of sight , a form of sensory deprivation , or they may drag an ice cube along their skin , a form of sensation play known as tem- perature play .
8 . Orgasm Control
Edging , in which the submissive partner is brought to the brink of climax and then forced to stop often done repeatedly is an example of orgasm control . The idea here is that for as long as you like , you let your partner take the reins and determine when and how you come . As with all of the activities here , anyone can engage in orgasm control regardless of their genitalia .
9 . Bondage
Bondage is when one partner restrains the other . You can bind your partner us- ing objects you already have around , such as a belt , or purchase specialty kink items like handcuffs or hair accessories-turned-wrist ties . To engage in restraint play safely , establish boundaries and a safe word , emphasize consent and com- munication at every step , and start slow .
