Kink (sexual)

Kink (sexual)

Kink is a term used to refer to a broad range of sexual practices (sometimes referred to as "kinky") such as spanking, bondage, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism (BDSM). Kink sexual practices transgress what are considered "normal" sexual boundaries as a means of heightening the intimacy between sexual partners. (It is therefore distinguished from sexual fetishism, in which sexual desires are displaced from the intimate partner to an inanimate object). [ [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/05/arts/design/05sex.html Kink Museum Curator defines 'kink'] ] Because of its relation to "normal" sexual boundaries, which themselves vary by time and place, the definition of what is and is not "kink" varies widely as well. Practitioners are sometimes considered to be perverts by "outsiders."

Internet

As with many subcultures, the Internet has facilitated communication among kink practitioners, and raised awareness of kink practices among a broader demographic.

TV Show

Kink sexual practices have been the subject of a Canadian TV show, KinK.
