A fetish technically refers to an attraction to an inanimate object, although this includes body parts, such as feet (like a foot fetish). A kink is defined as a sexual activity that falls outside of sex that society traditionally considers “acceptable.” That can include everything from role playing to bondage to whips. Secretly scouring the internet for a list of kinks to try with your partner can feel subversive and, frankly, uncomfortable.įor the uninitiated, learning about kinks and fetishes may feel intimidating, so first things first: understanding what is a kink and what is a fetish. Although kinks and fetishes are becoming more mainstream, they can still feel taboo.
