This week on Fetish Friday, the fascinating history of tickling and its role in power dynamics is explored. In ancient times, tickling was not just for amusement; it often carried deep symbolic meaning tied to submission, dominance, and control.

These practices continue to echo in modern BDSM, where tickling serves as a unique tool for exploring consensual dynamics.

Fetish Friday: Forced Orgasms

Forced orgasms and orgasmic torture are intense practices where the dominant partner consensually controls the submissive’s body to induce orgasms, often through methods designed to heighten sensations. During this kind of play, control and pleasure are tightly woven, with the dominant guiding the submissive through overstimulation, creating a unique blend of pain and pleasure. While the submissive may experience resistance, this tension is carefully managed, always within the framework of revokable consent and communication. This week Fetish Friday explores the psychological depth and physical sensations involved in these practices, revealing the intricacies of power and trust in a controlled yet deeply pleasurable experience.

Orgasm control and denial is a provocative form of play where sexual pleasure is manipulated through the strategic delay or prevention of orgasm. This practice combines both psychological and physical elements, weaving together anticipation, power dynamics, and the deep frustration that arises from prolonged arousal. The experience heightens sensation, turning every touch and tease into a thrilling game of patience and control. For those involved, it can lead to a more intense release when the inevitable orgasm is finally permitted. At its core, orgasm control and denial is a dance of power and emotional intensity, enhancing both the mental and physical aspects of sexual pleasure.

Authenticity Is Magic

In BDSM and kink, there is a tendency to look to the past for guidance, whether it is through following traditional roles, structures, or images. While it is important to honor the foundations of the lifestyle, it does not mean that we must be tethered to outdated ideals or limited by what others expect. True fulfillment in the world of BDSM and kink comes from embracing who you are, not from following the herd. It is crucial to let go of the idea that we must fit into predefined molds and to encourage individuality and authenticity in the lifestyle.

Caring Is Not Exclusive Of BDSM

There is a misunderstanding in some BDSM circles that dominance is solely about showing care through simple questions like, “Did you eat?” or “Did you take your medicine?” These are acts of concern, yes, but they are not unique to dominant individuals. These expressions of care are commonly found in all types of relationships. Caring for a partner’s well-being is not the exclusive domain of a dominant partner. This misconception needs to be addressed. Dominance involves much more than offering a reminder to eat or take medication.
