There are variety of ways to get things heated in the bedroom to avoid the chance sex will feel routine. Although I am with someone who will try anything at least once, I’m not always as liberated. I know the main reason is due to my insecurities; however, I am far better than I was years ago. Fortunately, my husband always encourages me to explore and has never made me feel less than sexy. That type of encouragement definitely helps with my sexual self-esteem. So does communication, so I thought I’d share my various experiences with the kinky side of sex; as well as touch on what practicing BDSM means.
Kink: an activity or behavior that someone enjoys that exists outside of traditional sex, e.g. BDSM, Swinging, Role-Play, etc.
Traditional sex? More on that in a bit.
To get back to my lack of exploration, there are times I simply don’t want to try whatever kink-de-jour that’s being served. And that’s okay… sometimes. The goal as a couple is to try new things to keep the sex life thrilling. I know there has to be that willingness to explore with your partner, especially if they’re doing the asking. This is part of a loving, healthy sexual relationship. I have to analyze why I don’t always want to try something new. I think it’s simply because it doesn’t immediately bring about any libido-inducing excitement. But, really, how do I know if I don’t try?
I know one of my husband’s biggest frustrations is that I’m not the one proactive in initiating something new. My fantasies are fairly consistent and a sure thing for climax, so I don’t necessarily think of something innovative to explore. When I was an OnlyFans creator, there was no shortage of role-play requests from fans that appealed to their fantasies. And for a fee, I provided a ten-minute video of me doing them. I was a college professor, librarian, a prude neighbor, a dominatrix, a stressed wife who chewed and popped her gum, among many other characters. The problem was when I was done with the video, the outfit and sexy attitude was put away. What I should have done is use every opportunity to engage in sexy role-play with my husband. I already know that anything I do will turn him on but I didn’t take advantage of it.
