Exploring kinks around the world

Let’s be honest, girls, we've all had some form of fetish or sexual fantasy that we keep to ourselves and there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s also nothing wrong with opening up to a partner you trust and exploring your boundaries.

Whether it’s to add spice into a long term relationship or to try your limits with a one night stand, there’s a lot you can explore in the realm of sexuality that might even surprise you in the end. As long as it’s consensual and safe, don’t be closed off to taking things up a notch in the bedroom.

While most people immediately assume being kinky means trying Bondage Discipline Sadism and Masochism (BDSM), you wouldn’t believe how far the sexual horizons can stretch if you give it a chance. So, here’s a list of kinks we put together to point you in the right direction.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

You may or may not be into taking cameras into the bedroom and watching it later, but what would you say to a live show? The technical term, Katoptronophilia, is the act of having sex in front of a mirror. If voyeurism (watching others have sex) isn’t your thing, perhaps watching yourself and your partner doing the dirty may heighten your sensations more than you think.
