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.

Fetish Friday: Control and Denial

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 While it is important to honor the foundations of the lifestyle, it does not mean that we must be tethered to outdated ideals or limited by what others expect.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.

Stop Shaming, Start Teaching

In any community, including BDSM and kink, certain behaviors can become patterns that are difficult to ignore. Unfortunately, poor behaviors, whether manipulative, predatory, or just outright harmful, often continue because they “work” in some way. These behaviors are not random or accidental; they thrive because they are allowed to persist. It is essential to have open conversations about what constitutes bad behavior, what manipulative tactics look like, and how to spot the truly dangerous individuals in the community. Addressing these issues is not about complaining; it is about education and action.
