An expert has highlighted a prevalent kink among women that many men might not be familiar with.
When it comes to kinks, there’s no end to what can ignite passion and arousal.
These range from very mild preferences to those that involve extensive, specialized equipment.
Some kinks and fetishes extend beyond the bedroom, evolving into integral parts of an individual’s lifestyle, often supported by tight-knit communities.
Regarding the specific kink under discussion, it’s on the more common side of the spectrum.
Exploring this doesn’t require elaborate setups or allergy checks, just clear and honest communication with one’s partner.
The kink gained traction online, with many agreeing. One person commented: “I can assure you that most romance book girls would likely have this kink!”
Another shared: “I told him. He does it more now. Best day ever!”
So, what exactly is it?
This is a ‘praise kink’ – where someone becomes aroused by receiving compliments and praise.
Naturally, most people enjoy being complimented by their partners, unless they prefer a ‘recreational scolding’.
One individual from the kink community remarked: “Well well well, the vanilla community is just finding out about small kinks that the kinky community has known all along.”
While most people appreciate compliments, a ‘praise kink’ takes this enjoyment to another level.
In a TikTok video, expert Dr. Nicole K. McNichols explained: “People who have praise kinks get turned on by their partner complimenting them.”
She added, “Praise kink exists on a continuum of course, because, I mean, who doesn’t love being told that they’re beautiful or hot or amazing in some way?”
These compliments can also include affirmations like ‘you’re doing a great job,’ ‘you’re so good at that,’ and ‘you’re doing great, I’m so proud of you.’
The main idea is to make someone feel valued and secure in their relationship.
The reasons behind developing a praise kink can vary and are not entirely understood.
Now you know, but even for a kink as seemingly straightforward as this, communication remains essential!
