Let’s talk about conscious kink…
In short, Conscious KINK is everything that falls out of conventional sexuality. Each individual has a unique expression of sexuality and specific feelings or situations that turn us on. Moreover, these commonly include feelings of excitement, shame, humiliation, restriction, worship, deification, adoration, objectification, etc. Furthermore, we can consider any practice outside the normative kiss-oral-penetration that people engage in to feel pleasure as KINK.
Kink usually involves engaging in behaviours that generate a certain power dynamic and adopting an associated identity. It enhances pleasure, fosters intimacy, fuels growth, and enables deep transformation within the partners, always with mutual consent.
BDSM, Shibari and even NeoTantra practices are non-conventional interactions, therefore KINK.
Describing the realm of conscious kink are other terms: kinky tantra, shadow tantra, urban tantra, dark tantra, and sacred BDSM.
WHAT IS CONSCIOUS KINK
According to psychoanalysis, conscious is the part of the mind comprising psychic material of which the individual is aware of one’s own existence, sensations, thoughts, emotions and surroundings. Talking about sexuality, it means that rather than acting on habitual unconscious behaviour patterns, we choose to fine-tune our awareness to ourselves and each other in the present moment and act in a way that serves the situation.
CONSCIOUS KINK involves engaging in an intimate practice (sexual or non-sexual) that we have previously negotiated consensually, usually with one or more participants taking on the giving role and one or more participants taking on the receiving role. Rather than suppressing or acting out in an unconscious, self-destructive way or merely to fulfil our own needs, CONSCIOUS KINK is the exploration of our full spectrum with our heart open, and entails complete presence with our physical sensations, emotions, and energies.
HONOURING OUR TRUTH
By discovering and claiming our desires, we are honouring our truth. Moreover, allowing ourselves to be seen as we are, we create self-acceptance and authenticity. Additionally, our play becomes a powerful force for self-exploration and discovery, providing endless potential for personal growth and fulfilment, while offering joy in unexpected places along the way.
Are you prepared to dive into rediscovering your playful side and reconnect with the innocence of your Eros?
Love and kinky blessings,
