se**** Posted May 20 In your mind what are the classic kinks? you know the one's that everyone enjoys and have been centers of the community for the longest

Li**** Posted May 20 I've found that more than expected girls loved to have anal, also watersports and rimming
Ki**** Posted May 20 That’s a difficult question because the most common, and the ones that have been around in BDSM culture the longest are probably two different questions. It also depends on how you define when the BDSM community started. If you take the old guard-new guard community we know now as beginning in the gay leather motorbike scene in the US post Vietnam war (as most books tend to acknowledge) then it’s going to be leather, bondage, impact play, sadomasochism, and Dom/sub dynamics. Or if we go back even further to the Victorians, and the 1800s with the Marquis de Sade and Sacher-Masoch then it’s flagellation, sadomaoschism, sodomy, consensual and non-consensual slave dynamics, and ***. The answer to what’s most common now though, I’d have to base on what I see at events and in lifestyle kinksters. That probably boils down to three: impact play, Dom/sub/power exchange dynamics and shibari. It’s interesting that shibari is a relatively late addition to the kink scene, which was its own completely separate community with its own completely separate history. But when you think about the way the BDSM community has adopted some of the practices and culture of the rope community it’s easy to start to see how many different sub cultures there are within the scene that co-exist and tolerate each other because we all have interests on the edges of society (spankos, pet play, old guard, new guard, leather scene, shibari).
ey**** Posted May 20 When I was young and listened to a radio show doing classic rock it'd be 70s and early 80s now if you listen to classic rock radio shows it will take you through the 80s, the 90s and even early 2000s it's funny that very little from the 50s and 60s is included at any point in that Equally, a lot of bands are excluded from that - focusing more on those most succesful long term than what folk listened to at the time - which creates a jaded history. My kinda point then is what people associate as classics goes with time. Also what is prevalent in community also changes within the time. Some people talk about classics and a 'how things were' when they're talking about 90s D/s and the rise of protocol. But that really was a 90s breakthrough and not as representive of the 70s and 80s. How far it's fair to go back is subjective in the sense that there's ideas we've moved on from and also ideas that... when we weren't there, there's a jaded history around what things were like This said.... if someone came up to me and said they were into "classic BDSM" my assumption would be that it would be D/s protocol with most focus around impact play.

Oops, correction to the above, I realise I wrote Vietnam war instead of Second World War.
ey**** Posted May 21 the vietnam war was also important in that timeline of history of kink but also of course - there's a lot which is romanticised which was already pushed underground by the 1960s.
