I expect this to be a controversial post. Not only because opinions will vary, but because the definition of pain itself is vastly different among different people – especially among people engaged in kink. There are sexual practices that are enjoyable (to some) despite of the pain, and there are sexual practices that are enjoyable…
Fetish Versus Kink: A Kinkster’s Perspective
Fetish and kink – how do you use these words? For many people they seem to be interchangeable. When it comes to terminology, however, interchangeable essentially means redundant. In this post I describe the way that I personally use these terms. I am suggesting a distinction that I think makes both of these terms useful…

Of course I don’t expect anyone to be discussing their fisting practices with their family or coworkers, but I’m talking…
The art, the sport, and the science
I thought it would make sense to start by sharing my perspective on what fisting actually is and what it means to me, before I delve on how I got to where I am. Of course this is highly personal. Depending on where you situate fisting within the larger world of BDSM, kink, and sex,…
