…..you don’t need to do all the letters to enjoy BDSM

OK, to start with the basics, BDSM stands for Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism but liking one doesn’t mean you have to like them all.  They overlap sometimes but you can, for example, like to be dominated without any bondage or SM element at all.

They are like circles of a venn diagram overlapping. You can do one or two and sometimes all three coincide in the Wild Spot! Also there are many things that are “kink” that don’t have to involve any BDSM aspect at all - for example foot fetish, watersports or swinging and swapping partners.

So we love sex toys and adults goods but it is surprising how much you can improvise with things around the house if you put your mind to it. And actually some of those things are as much fun and more kinky as the more expensive items we sell here at Kinky Betty’s (Editor - what the hell are you saying you idiot?!)

A wonderful story from Belle, a great friend from the swinging world, on her journey into swinging and BDSM:

My journey into kink started just over a year ago. Well, I say just over a year ago – that’s when I actually started to do something about thoughts and desires that had been swirling around in my brain for much, much longer than that! Being from a “nice”, “middle class” (i.e. very vanilla!) background, I obviously believed that there was something very wrong with me for wanting to be restrained, spanked, degraded and “forced” - to be honest, even enjoying sex seemed wrong. Being in a long-term, emotionally abusive relationship didn’t help, nor did the fact that I’d been sexually assaulted as a young child.
