Bondage, Balloons and Biting

Bondage and more

I’m going to give you a run down of a variety of kinks and fetishes, from A-Z. In this ‘B’ post it will be Bondage, Balloons and Biting. This wonderful world of kink and fetish is incredibly varied and interesting. You never know, you might just stumble across something that takes your fancy. At the very least, it will make for some fun reading.

A quick reminder, a kink is something you especially enjoy, and may add an extra element of sexiness to a situation. On the other hand, a fetish is an object, action or desire that needs to be present in order to achieve sexual satisfacion. Kinks especially are tricky to define, because one person’s kink can be someone else’s norm. Fetishes are easier to pick out and can range from the vanilla to the peculiar. Let’s dive in and learn together. Today we will cover some of the B’s.

Bondage

Bondage is in the BDSM subculture. It is the practice of consentually tying, binding or restricting a partner for erotic pleasure. Bondage doesnt necessarily imply sado-masochism. Some people partake in bondage play because they find it asthetically pleasing, such as rope or breast bondage. Bondage makes up the B in BDSM and can therefore often be used in conjunction with other BDSM practices. Both parties usually derive pleasure from the restricted person’s submission. A lot of bondage play is about power, control and submissivness. Dominants enjoy seeing their partner restrained and having complete control over the sexual situation, whilst submissives can enjoy the feeling of hopelessness and being totally dependant on their dominant (dom). There are a whole host of different things that you can use to restrain your partner. From the obvious handcuffs, ropes and bondage tape to the more adventurous things like spreader bars, leashes and hogties.

Balloon

A balloon enthusiast or looner as they are known in the community is someone who has a kink or fetish for balloons in an erotic manner. Looners tend to fall into two categories, popper and non popper, however there are some looners who sit happily in the middle, although they are rare.

As with most kinks and fetishes there is no one size fits all. If you are the popping kind of looner, then you might derive pleasure from popping balloons yourself, whether that be by sitting on them, stomping on them or using a sharp object to pierce them.

Another much enjoyed practice is blowing up a balloon so much that it pops. The antisipation of the impending pop can be incredibly arousing. Some looners report having an orgasm when a ballooon pops on their genitals. The non popping looners have a profound respect for balloons and whilst they enjoy rubbing them, squeezing them and playing with them, the thought of actually popping one makes them quite sad.

Non-popping looners could find it quite traumatizig to see balloons being popped. Those rare few who sit in the middle, might not want to pop a balloon themselves but would find it exciting to watch someone else pop one. Looning isn’t always about sexual climax, some looners just find balloons create great stress relief and enjoy playing with them. However, for more serious looners, things like smell, size and even brand are important and can greatly influence their pleasure.

Biting

Sexual Biting is the act of biting or being bitten on various parts of the body. Biting should never be so rough that it draws blood as this crosses over into another practice known as blood play, which should only be entered into safely and after much consideration. Biting can be a possessive and primal act, animalistic even, and some people find giving into these primal urges incredibly arousing.

Biters take pleasure in causing pain to their partner and even from leaving a mark on their body. As with all BDSM practices, it is a good idea to create a safe word. Consent is also very important when it comes to biting. You need to make sure you are on the same page about the level of pain that is acceptable as well as where on the body biting can take place.

Some biters enjoy the power and control, whilst some enjoy role playing that they are vampires. Others simply find biting or being bitten arousing, just because it feels good to them.
