ORIGINAL: Morrigel quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble OK, someone made a comment on another thread and used the term 'higher kink levels'. I asked him to explain what that meant as I've never heard this term before, but he chose to ignore my question. What, exactly, is a higher kink level? Who determines what's higher and what's lower? Did I miss another memo or something? I think the phrase is generally used to describe kinks which are increasingly less common or break progressively greater taboos of vanilla "normalcy". Spanking and light bondage are very low kink level activities, which most vanilla couples have tried or will try eventually. More extreme forms of sadism, anything that could be called "edgeplay", anything that involves excrement, urine, blood or vomit, and anything that violates a serious legal/sexual taboo like ageplay begins to climb higher up the kink ladder. 24/7 power exchange, permanent body modifications or cutting, are pretty high up the kink ladder. Simulated rape and more extreme torture is also up there. That's how I would use the words, anyway. --M M, I think I agree with you on this, it would be my first impression although I did not read the thread. However, if I were to use a term like that, it would only be to tease/scare my sub boyfriend. Damn Vampyre
