Evolving kinks

[thefootslut]

I've found myself, particularly as I've got into my 40s, widening what kinks I'm interested in exploring. During my late ***s, and most of my 20s, I was all about feet, and not much else, maybe a tiny bit of bondage. 30s was generally the same, but since I've hit my 40s, my scope of what interests me as exploded! Going from feet, to light bondage in my 20s, to a bit of cross dessing, heavy bondage and punishment, CBT, humiliatio, chastity, the amount of kinks that turn me on has exploded as I've got older.

So it got me thinking, is this something that most folks on here have experienced, the whole getting older and becoming more kinky thing? Not really sure I can put my finger on why this has happened, which is why i'm keen to find out if this is generally something that happens to most people?

I am very interested in the data and input from others here on this!

I think for me it is more about me reaching an age that I have denied myself just about anything good or pleasurable to me, long enough. I am choosing to be my authentic self. If that means I explore things once forbidden to me , well then I guess that’s what I am gonna do. I hid a huge part of myself from the world for over 25 yrs. Being true to me is so freeing!!!

I think its natural that things evolve, even your kinks. Most humans are inquisitive by nature which is why we have evolved to dominate our rock. Your kinky evolution is probably a microcosm of that. I think the best thing you can do is find a partner or partners that you trust who is/are as experimental as you and revel in it. Some things will always be staples, for instance oral sex and bondage are never going out of fashion, but trustful exploration can never be a bad thing.

kinks kinda evolve for lots of reasons

most good; some maybe... not so good

but the good is a little bit in sometimes being more accepting of ourselves, being introduced to new ideas - sometimes things presented differently, like if doing for your own gratification or for someone else (or, ahem, vice versa) 

the not so good - is that sometimes people feel their interests are "too narrow" (they're not) and that they have to do/try more (they don't) - but also that some kinda feel they need to go 'more' to get turned on or chasing bigger highs (often destructive) 

So, I guess if stuff is natural over time then.... good.  If stuff feels like it's obligation : less so.

I wonder if it’s just confidence. Getting the experience and confidence in life to let yourself try more and be more curious.

Yeah, you might be right, I’m definitely a hell of a lot more confident since hitting 40 than I was in my 20s!

Second this, and I totally agree about being true to yourself :)

My kinks have evolved but I believe it's more correlated to my experiences and not my age (although aged probably is a small factor). As I've tried new things and read about other people's experiences, my willingness to try new things has broadened. I feel like the more I try, the kinkier I want to be.

I concur

Totally agree there, it’s like opening a door to Pandora’s box isn’t it! 😂

I truly can not say whether my kinks have evolved or whether I have.
I have gained both greater understanding and greater experience, of that I can be certain. I am more patient, if that's even possible, and more empathetic than once I was.
Perhaps my kinks have become more socially acceptable and normal so I feel a need to push that envelope to it's conclusion.
But I think that I can only invite an appropriate explorer to take my hand and we should see what's out there.
