All About International Kinky Day and the Praise Kink
International Kinky Day is celebrated annually on September 21. It's a day for all kink enthusiasts to come together and express their desires. This year, we’re focusing on the praise kink, a specific type of kink that involves deriving sexual pleasure from receiving verbal affirmations during intimate moments.
What Is a Praise Kink?
Understanding Kinks:
· Kinks are non-traditional sexual behaviors that enhance sexual satisfaction.
· They can be part of BDSM or exist independently, like a praise kink.
Praise Kink Defined:
· A praise kink involves experiencing sexual arousal from being praised or affirmed during sexual activities.
· Unlike enjoying casual compliments, those with a praise kink derive sexual satisfaction from affirmations.
Roots of a Praise Kink
Origins and Psychology:
· Sexual preferences and kinks are often deeply personal and can be linked to past experiences or emotional needs.
· Some individuals use kinks as a form of emotional healing or to deal with past trauma.
Expert Insights:
· Samuel Hughes' five-stage kink development model suggests that kinks can evolve over time.
· Sex and relationship blogger Emma Austin shares that her praise kink may stem from seeking validation she never received from a parental figure.
Communicating About Your Kink
Starting the Conversation:
· Taking a love language test with your partner can be a fun way to understand each other’s needs and open the dialogue about kinks.
· If your primary love language is words of affirmation, it can naturally lead into discussing a praise kink.
Exploring New Experiences:
· Make a list of sexual activities to try based on your love languages and comfort levels.
· Start with gentle phrases and gradually explore deeper levels of praise.
Incorporating the Praise Kink into Your Sex Life
Verbal Praise:
· Use phrases that affirm your partner’s actions and appearance during sex.
· Examples:
o “Good boy/girl.”
o “You’re doing/you did really well.”
o “I’m so proud of you.”
o “You look so sexy when you go down on your knees for me.”
Physical Praise:
· Combine verbal praise with physical touches, such as petting or fluffing your partner’s hair.
· Match your words with eager touches to enhance the emotional and physical connection.
Non-Verbal Praise:
· Sounds, gasps, and moans can also be a form of praise, showing your partner how good they make you feel.
· Experiment with different forms of praise to find what resonates best with your partner.
