Controversial Practices
As any practitioner knows, BDSM encompasses a whole range of practices. From latex to whipping, and from cosplay to spanking, there is something for everybody under the umbrella term of kink. Some of the practices find a wider acceptance, even by people with a decidedly vanilla lifestyle. Whereas others strive to become standard, and a small group of hard-core practitioners embraces them. For example, most men have a fetish for lingerie, and many women enjoy some form of domination. In this article, we’re going to discuss some of the most controversial practices associated with bondage.
In an era of female empowerment, a practice as common as spanking might find itself with a certain degree of controversy attached to it. By its very nature, the difference between stimulation and aggression is not crystal-clear. Therefore, as with any other kinky practice, make sure to have explicit consent before attempting it.
Even vanilla couples try dirty talking during intercourse, from time to time. However, when the dirty talk includes profanity or hostile expressions toward certain institutions, such as religious organizations and the family, it might become uncomfortable for some people.
Punishment and submission seem to be contradictory to the current ideas of female empowerment and liberation. However, things change when they are part of a power dynamic that all participants involved have freely acknowledged. In that case, they actually become a statement of freedom.
Age play is a very controversial practice, especially when seen from the outside. The idea of having a partner that acts as if it were of a lower age, sometimes quite lower, might seem inappropriate for those unfamiliar with the kinky lifestyle. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that, in age play, consenting adults agree to simulate acting as if they were younger, just like in any other fantasy people play to be what they really aren’t.
