These two words are typically used interchangeably. So, curious to hear how/if you differentiate them. Also, just a general thread about kinks you have, why you think you have them and if you’d consider yourself “kinky”.
A kink is what you get in a cable when you’re not careful pulling it. They’re also called assholes because the shape of the kink can look like a puckered asshole.
A fetish is a figure carved from wood, stone, or fossils, often used ceremonially.
Actually came here to post the same thing but with a garden hose instead of electric wire.
look like a puckered asshole
I’m not asshole-ologist, but I can’t see the similarities there.
As a fully licensed and accredited asshole-ologist I agree.
A kink is adding some spice to your food.
A fetish is pouring pickle juice on your breakfast cereal. Nobody else gets it, but you love it.
Terry Pratchett put it best.
Kink is adding some horseraddish to your beef sandwich. Fetish is adding so much you don’t even notice the beef has fallen out.
A kink is something you like. A fetish is something you need to get off. While they’re often used interchangeably, they really are two different concepts altogether.
That’s my understanding as well.
A kink is also typically something at least a little uncommon. You wouldn’t call “I like putting my hard penis in a woman’s vagina” a kink, typically. But “I like when she slaps me” might be.
Yes, correct.
Bang on definitions.
That’s my fetish
I see, so maga is a fetish, proglib is a kink
A fetish is something you NEED in order to get off or enjoy sex. So a guy who can’t get it up unless the lady is wearing lingerie (or unless he is) that’s a lingerie fetish.
If you enjoy sex more with lingerie but can still enjoy without it, that’s a lingerie kink.
I use them interchangeably when talking about sex. Very rarely do I use “fetish” for the other usage (an object of spiritual significance).
mainly just shadow run when using that usage language for me.
Don’t know about kink, but Fetish is a South African rock band.
A Kink is one of those English guys who sang “You Really Got Me.”
“Fetish” is a 2020 song by Selena Gomez featuring Gucci Mane.
kink to me implies something you like but you don’t necessarily have to be doing it the majority of the time and don’t necessarily spend money on it and such. fetish implies your closer to a lifestyle thing where its the way you want to do things and you will put resources toward it.
