Women and Kink: Relationships Reasons, and Stories

Women and Kink: Relationships Reasons, and Stories

Do you ever wonder if you are the only one, going against the grain, searching for something more, different, or even taboo, hoping and needing to fulfill your deepest desires? Do you wonder, “Am I normal?” Perhaps you have friends or loved ones who are kinky and you are curious and intrigued about their lifestyle. Are you searching for role models of people who have carved out a life for themselves outside of the “white picket fence” expectations?

Then this book is for you!

Inspired by original research from nearly 1,600 women from the kink community, you will journey into the motivations, meanings, and benefits of kink in these women’s own words. People throughout the world are extremely creative in designing relationships and a life that best suits their needs. This book illustrates how these people come together in play, in romance, in love, in sex, in friendship, and in community.

“I was born this way.  My submissive eyes found dominant eyes along the way, i have seldom had vanilla sex in my life, i would rather go without….” 

“I engage in many of the activities that were listed, not for reasons of sexual gratification, but because they offer satisfaction in other ways.”

“i don’t like real pain however so it is always controlled with ‘safe’ words.”

“… Sex is nice and pleasure is good for you. A crazy notion to some. Still a revolutionary idea for myself sometimes …”

“For me, kissing is the most intimate activity—though this is in the context of never having had intercourse with a man. Even were I to, though, I think it would be second place to (tongue-in-mouth) kissing.”

“To me it’s about feeling incredibly wanted.”

“I want it known that most women I have met in BDSM own their sexuality and desires. Every BDSM act I have ever participated in was of my own free will and consent …”

“I love a man in uniform. I think it has to do with their dominant look …”

“I like strong Dominant women in almost anything they are wearing. I like masculinity in women.”

“I do like a proud submissive attitude in a sub, I don’t like doormats.”

“While my actively engaging in these activities is only within the last two years, the desire to do so has been in me a lot longer.”
“I have a boyfriend that does not know this side of me.”
“I am married in a monogamous relationship. He was my first partner ever and that was on our wedding night.”
“I am currently seeking divorce because I have felt that I had to hide my real sexual wants for 12 years.”
“I only enjoy giving up control to my husband. I enjoy topping from time to time with women or cross dressers.”
“… Learning to exercise surrender and vulnerability has been instrumental in my development as a human being and positively affected my life outside of the kink world.”
“I was always ashamed of the ‘out of the ordinary’ things I was interested in until I found the internet. I now feel a lot better about myself and my sexuality and have learned a lot more. Sex should be less of a hang-up …”
“We’ve had a wonderful, amazing, long, and HOT monogamous and very fulfilling marriage.”
“Because my husband and I (grandparents, with very good jobs, and college degrees) love hot, kinky sex with each other.”
“i would rather please the Dominant Woman with whom i’m with than experience an orgasm.”

Now on Audiobook!

We are very excited that Women and Kink: Relationships, Reasons, and Stories is now on audiobook and is now more accessible to the public and our community!

Our narrator, Rachel Fulginiti, did a fantastic job! She captured various personalities of so many different women’s voices, and there was a clear distinction for when the authors were commenting vs the women’s quotations. It’s an easy listen and very enjoyable, even steamy at times. 🙂
