101 Kinks

[lettered]

The word "kink" is being used in the loosest sense: these things strike a chord with me, or push a button, not necessarily in a sexual way (though some of them, yeah.)

The word "fictional" is literal. These are things I enjoy reading about, or seeing on television, etc, not necessarily things I enjoy seeing or doing in RL.

I've been collecting them for a while now, again, no idea why. I have a kink for list making? It's not because I'm bored. I'm not bored not writing my IWRY fic, and not betaing the things I have to beta, and not having started my novel thing, and not hopping on that volunteer highschool kids writing thing I want to do, and that job I was going to get, and...The weirdest thing I discovered while writing it? I could go on indefinitely, infinitely. I have so many more fiction kinks it's not even funny. Oh, and some of these may be pretty freaky-deaky to you. So ya know, don't read if it's more than you're interested in.

List of 101 Fictional Kinks

1. When a character calls the love interest, "My--" and cuts himself off. Aposiopesis, I guess.
2. Eating. Especially: hungry people getting fed, and a character watching another character eat, fascinated (either in a disgusted way or a turned on way. Doesn't matter.)
3. Dirty talk. Especially someone describing explicitly what they are doing/about to do to someone.
4. The names of bones. "Ulna" is a much sexier word than "arm".
5. The nape of a man's neck.
6. Slant rhyme.
7. Wound bandaging.
8. Extreme guilt.
9. When kissing cuts off conversation.
10. Women's wide hips. The place where a narrow waist flares out into wide hips on a woman.
11. Consensual and purposeful voyeurism.
12. Subversion of control dynamics. For instance, when someone firmly in a "sub" position is domming. i.e. the bottom domming, or the one on his knees domming, or something. I'm sure there's a name for this, I just can't think of it at the moment.
13. When what a character calls another character changes depending on emotion. e.g.: If Angel calls Spike "Will" when he's feeling tender; if Spike calls Angel "Liam" when he's especially angry.
14. Punishment that doesn't involve breaking skin.
15. Titles with numbers in them.
16. Scars. Especially scars with deep emotional scars behind them, so that when another character sucks/licks/scratches/touches it, the touchee goes nuts (in a good way or bad way, doesn't matter).
17. Scenes in which characters shuffle about and each think the other doesn't care about him/her any more, until one of them finally has the courage to bring it up/ask, and the other gutters, "Ohdeargodfuckyes."
18. Sentences that have rhythm.
19. Phone sex.
20. Shadow. Especially bodies in stark shadow, a voyeur watching half shadowed, sharp shadows in black and white movies, and slanting shadows.
21. Exposure/explicit covering up of wrists, ankles, and necks.
22. Handful sized breasts.
23. The word "Daddy" in sex scenes.
24. The place between the clavicles of a woman.
25. A character reaching out to touch another character and the fingers curling in on themselves before the touch happens.
26. When male Character A is unable to handle Character B going down on him because something about it is too good.
27. Religious metaphor, references.
28. Small hand movements and gestures used as punctuation in dialogue.
29. A man making a fist in a woman's hair.
30. When the question of whether the end justifies the means is posed in an intelligent way with ambiguous gray answers.
31. Mutual masturbation.
32. Consensual nonconsensual sex. As in, a character trusts another character enough to act out a noncon scene with him/her. I like the word "no" to get used. A lot, so I like it when there are safe words. It makes me read more comfortably, elsewise I get worried and start to shred my nails.
33. Men's forearms with visible veins on the underside.
34. The word "thighs". Also, wet thighs. Parting thighs. I really like thighs.
35. Characters unable to have gentle tender sex because they feel they don't deserve it.
36. Red red lips.
37. Character A's hands settling on character B's hips, then character A jerking character B toward them. Or, instead of hips: the top front rim of the pants, or a belt.
38. Mermaids.
39. Subtle alliteration.
40. Threesomes.
41. Moresomes.
42. Touching of places that are erogenous for unusual reasons. E.g. necks for vampires, knuckles for Wolverine, Spike's wrists directly after "Damage", that sort of thing.
43. Grim stillness/complete lack of reaction in reaction to terrible news/hurtful words, when the impassiveness is really masking Great Emotion.
44. Shame.
45. When a character is attuned to scent and gets off on certain scents.
46. People who can't be touched (e.g. Rogue, Gwen) getting touched, or haven't been touched often getting touched (e.g. Sunny kissing Connor)
47. A character trying to hide he/she is turned on by something random someone is doing, so the someone will keep doing it.
48. Shirtless men holding naked babies.
49. Syllepsis.
50. Carefully handled objectification, especially of body parts rather than people. Um, for some reason, in a sex scene, "the arm" is going to do more to me than "his arm" or "her arm" or "Buffy's arm". Why? I don't know. What is this called?
51. Bottling emotions and emotional explosion, especially when the explosion doesn't involve tears, revelations, or incapacitation, but angry no-hope-anymore blow outs, e.g. Angel in "Reprise" and Connor in "Home".
52. Character titles. i.e. When Spike calls Buffy "Slayer". When Connor calls Angel "Dad".
53. Men's big hands.
54. A man shifting his weight in a chair because he's watching something that's turning him on and it's making him uncomfortable.
55. Pet names.
56. The pet name "baby".
57. A character acting dom because they feel they don't deserve the luxury of subbing, i.e. giving in and letting go, trusting someone else enough to take care of them.
58. Sex that is described in a way that isn't sexy. I think this is very delicate. You could end up using the phrase "crotch fur" which admittedly isn't sexy, but um, isn't a kink of mine, either. 'Cause kinda ew? I just mean all the words and metaphors and allusions in a sex scene don't have to be something sensual. It can be awkward and even kind of tasteless, the way our bodies can sometimes be. As long as you don't go to the place of cream of cum, 'cause while I'm sure that's a kink for some, um, it ain't mine. I bet there's a term for this, too.
59. Deep gravelly male and female voices.
60. Warmth. A cold character getting warmed up, vampire getting turned on by living flesh, so on.
61. The word "fuck".
62. When two characters meet, and one of them knows who the other is, but the other is surprised, all with the feel of destiny. e.g. When Connor arrives and says, "Hi Dad". Or in "Gladiator", when Emperor Joaquinn Phoenix decides to meet Russel Crowe and doesn't know he's the general he tried to kill.
63. Petting.
64. A man's forehead pressed against a woman's abdomen or navel for solace.
65. Male characters with an aspect of animal/beast/demon in them.
66. A character trying to convince another character not to love him/her by showing the ugliest part of themselves. e.g. Angel on the hill in "Amends" trying to convince Buffy he deserves to die.
67. The attitude of prayer.
68. A piece written in the POV of Character A who is unknowingly turning Character B on, but in such a way that we the reader know that character B is turned on and going crazy with lust, but Character A remains oblivious and confused. Poor Character A. Poor Character B!
69. Good metaphors.
70. Men's hairy chests and arms.
71. Happy father and daughter bonding nonkinky friendship. Happy father and son bonding nonkinky friendship.
72. Kinky baddirtywrong father/daughter. Kinky baddirtywrong father/son.
73. Sex that isn't perfect. Orgasms that aren't mindblowing or earthshattering. Bodies that don't feel like coming home, and kisses that aren't the best thing the character has ever experienced in his/her entire life.
74. Extreme self loathing.
75. A character unable to stop punching something due to emotional pain directed at something else. E.g. Angel in "Dear Boy", Faith in "Release".
76. Masks.
77. When a character represses expression of sexual pleasure because of some event in the past has convinced them that such expression is Bad, and another character has to disabuse him/her of that notion.
78. Mirror sex.
79. Sex in front of a camera.
80. Consensual security camera sex voyeurism. WHAT?
81. Narrator stating the occupation/relation of character in a sex scene. Um. There was a post on metafandom about how you should use "him/her" or the person's name in a relationship fic or sex scene, instead of trying to identify people by other markers, such as "his brother" or "his friend". I happen to like "his brother". I also happen to like "the vampire." I also happen to like "the policewoman", even though the fact that she's a policewoman should have no bearing in a sex scene. Oh, and I'm explicitly talking about sex scenes here. I don't think it's good writing, necessarily. Unless you make it work. I wonder what this kink is called. I've seen enough bad!fic that use it exhaustively, so it must turn more than me on. I think it must have something to do with objectification, too.
82. When a character has full and complete knowledge of how fucked up the world and life is and decides to love it anyway.
83. Sweat.
84. When characters can't say "I love you."
85. Stories with horses, wolves, or big cats. Also, eagles. Sometimes big dogs. Especially when they're loyal friends, or symbolic . . . symbols.
86. Unknowing incest. E.g. Luke/Leia before they know. I think I like the resulting guilt factor?
87. Women's hair turning white. Especially due to something supernatural. E.g. Willow. Or Rogue. Or Lissar, the woman in my icon. But also graying/whitening hair due to aging is sexy. In both women and men.
88. References/metaphors involving fairytales, folklore, legends, and myth.
89. Real, honest to goodness lube for anal sex. I.e. no salad dressing or peanutbutter.
90. References/metaphors involving history.
91. Smoking. Let me explain this one. I guess because I find it more difficult for myself to understand and accept than some of the ones where it's obvious I don't want it to be me or someone I love in that situation. I hate to see people smoking in real life. It's unhealthy. And I dislike being around it. I think it smells bad and it gives me a headache. But I still think Audrey Hepburn looks cool with a long cigarette holder between her fingers. I still think that one picture of Christopher Plummer holding a cigarette is hot. I like that Wolverine and Starbuck chomp cigars, and Spike is sexy smoking. And nothing wins over Angel in "Redefinition".
92. Magical realism.
93. Insect metaphors.
94. Big damn heroes.
95. Sex in which orgasm isn't even achieved because someone's a control freak and can't let go enough to do so. It's not so much that I find this so very sexy as I find it angsty.
96. Angst.
97. Reading glasses.
98. When a character is unaware of how he/she relates to another character. E.g. Luke and Leia and Darth Vader. Or Connor in most of "Origin".
99. Empathy as a superpower.
100. Ocean/sea/water metaphors, references. Also, fish.
101. Women's long thick tumbling hair. Said hair getting finger combed, brushed, styled, braided etc by a loved one.

Um, I love you.

And we apparently have almost THE EXACT SAME KINKS. I feel that I should pull out some quotes because some of the specifics are bizarre but there are too many and I believe that you know me well enough that this burden of "proof" is unnecessary.

Except for the fact that I do not give a damn about mermaids. And I rarely get off on epithets. And I think I like Spike, Jared Padalecki and girlsex more than you do. :P

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Oh, PLEASE.

If Jared Withalocoochie turned into a mermaid, you'd TOTALLY do him.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

how exactly do you do a mermaid anyway?

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

With hollandaise?

[tkp.livejournal.com]

don't make me take out my Martha cookbook.

Scratch that, make me. It and I have so much fun.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

And now I am back on the comparison of Martha Stewart, VK, and the size of their, uhm, holiday birds.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

At least you're not trying to turn VK into a mermaid. Then his holiday bird would go away.

*cries*

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Yea, I don't share that kink with Femme. I like the boys to anatomically correct. No one touches the VKnis. No one.

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Well, he'd still have his HANDS. *falls over*

[tkp.livejournal.com]

some of the specifics are bizarre

THis is exactly what compelled me to start compiling this list. I couldn't believe how specific some of them were. It's kinda nice and also really freaky that other people share them.

Mermaids. Read this fic. Second one on the page. It's short. It's one of my favorite fics.

I don't know why epithets do it for me.

I think I like Spike, Jared Padalecki and girlsex more than you do. :P

I think you just might. But I love you for your loving of things beyond my scope. You, you open doors. Sometimes I just peek through and sometimes I go exploring.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Mermaid fic- Oh GOD yes, I love that story. I have it on StA.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

It's what made me realize my mermaid kink, I think. More people should read it. Because I say so!

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Also, my dear, certain things on this list, erm, the hair pulling and Daddy stuff and het 'cest (though other stuff too) make me think that you should really read my friend onelittlesleep's fic despite the fact that you don't really watch SPN.

Plus, she's a dreamy writer. And has this tendency to make all roads lead to Maine. And she is awesome at writing strange, awkward and sensory sex. She and I wrote this fic together and she described the taste of pussy juice on Sam's fingers as "starchy" and I whooped for joy. :P

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I don't really like hair pulling so much as a man wrapping his fist in a woman's hair and holding on for dear life.

Most people are squicked by het incest. Which I completely understand.

I will check her out! Do you have specific recs?

Starchy, hee!

Stultiloquentia is fabulous for using unexpected language for sex or sexy scenes. Or for anything. Stulti could be on my list of kinks. You could too. Kita could, too.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

I would be proud to be one of your kinks. :)

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

I would be proud to be one of your kinks. :)

As would I. :P

I'll find you some recs...with fists in hair. And was that a yes or a no on het 'cest? (Sorry Kita).

Funny how the last time I was digging up fic links for Ms. TKP it was for Jensen/Jeff Daddy!kink RPS. Haha!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

And was that a yes or a no on het 'cest? (Sorry Kita).

Hee! S'ok. Het cest squicks me, personally. Esp. Father/daughter. But uhh...*cough* where are those J/J Daddy!kink RPS fics you dug up for TKP? *cough*

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

I don't like father/daughter either. In fact I tend not to be into intergenerational 'cest most of the time. However, there have been quite a few Sam or Dean had a sister fics that I've liked. Especially if the sister reminds me of River the vampire slayer.

ANYWAY. Hee. I think my love for Jeff/Jensen RPS is a little known fact. this one is not so much with the explicit Daddy-ness but both tkp and I (and our ovaries) were down. Really, though people should write more fic where Jensen calls Jeff Daddy, IMO. I mean, COME ON, Demon!Dad anyone? Bueller? Ahem.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

this one

I can't believe I forgot to put the word "whore" on the list.

Jesus Christ.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I *like* het incest; that is, brother/sister or father/daughter. I liked it before I liked slash incest because it took me a long time to get into slash and I knew I liked reading incest way before I knew lots of things and it kinda terrified me. Um. I'm alright with it now, I just wish more other people were alright with it. It would make me feel better.

I don't like mommy!kink. It pretty much straight squicks me. I have a squicks list somewheres too. Though I guess Darla/Angel or Dru/Spike could be kinda mommyish and not squick me. Also, Buffy/Angel/Connor. Why is there none of that in my world?

DUDE. That was some fucking hot rps.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

*wants the RPS NOWNOWNOW*

Don't feel bad about your hetcest!kink. Don't feel bad about ANY kink.

Mommy!kink makes me run and hide until it goes away. I guess Darla/Angel is akin to it, but not enough to make me wince. And I don't see Buffy as Connor's mother, in any way, shape or form, so that threesome would just...GAH. Write that plz kthxbi.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I don't feel bad. I mean, that post, you did. *pumps fist* It's just more comfortable to me when I know I'm not alone. I don't care if that makes me a kink conformist, or something.

I guess Darla/Angel is akin to it, but not enough to make me wince.

Even though in some situations I can see Darla being very daddy with Angelus, they really don't have the dynamic.

And I don't see Buffy as Connor's mother, in any way, shape or form,

Me neither; I was just thinking about Sue's stepmom comment when I brought it up.

I've always wanted to see that threesome. I've always wanted to write that threesome, but whenever I try they just have lots and lots of dirty dirty sex and I can't figure out how to make it real at all.

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Het!Wincest

Fucking hilarious (Yes, really!) Dean/kindergarten teacher Daddy!kink with fists in hair

Unrelated almost!Wincest with brothers jerking off in car

[stultiloquentia.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! You can kink me anytime!

The unexpected/unerotic language thing is totally on my list, and I'm such a sucker for a foxy metaphor. There are a handful of ficcers who regularly make me go, "Dammit, why couldn't *I* have thought of that one first?" and you're one of them, so that compliment tickles me quite a lot.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Hee! The seal simile is what I was thinking of when I wrote the unerotic language one. I mean, I know we've talked about it before, but you're one of the very best at that, in my book.

And thanks, I'm tickled back! We can do a mutual appreciation society. ;o)
