101 Kinks
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.
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.

hahaha! But it's so nice and squishy.
It's actually easier to note what in your list doesn't do it for me: the use of the word 'daddy'.
Like several other things on this list, the first time I saw that I kinda got squicked. But it stuck in my mind. And I thought about it. Mostly in a who wants *that* kinda way. And now I pretty much spontaneously orgasm when I see it put to good use in a good fic.
...chair sex (specifically, TJ straddling DB in an armless ladderback chair, face-to-face)
Yes. I can't believe I didn't put in the furniture sex. Like table sex, wall sex, counter sex, desk sex (which for some reason is an exceptionally big kink for me). Fictional chair sex is good both face to face and back to front.
...Rosary beads as cock bindings
Um. Yeah, I don't think that would do it for me. Then again, never seen it before.
...use of latin or galeige during sex (prayer gets an extra kink hit)
I really *don't* like other languages during sex, or as endearments. I think it could be called a narrative squick of mine. I'm not going to say sexual squick 'cause it doesn't turn me right off like some sex things do, but I really don't like to see it. I do, however, love a prayer. Snow did a fic relatively recently that was A/S with Angel making Spike recite a prayer and OH DEAR GOD.
...treasure trail worship
I feel naive because I have no idea what that is.
...the term "shove over" as a sexual directive
That one in particular doesn't do it for me, but I should have a whole *subsection* for the kink "sexual directives". Like, "fuck me" "shut up" and "on your knees" and "do it to me" and "shut up and kiss me." Actually there should be a whole subsection for "shut up and..." 'Cause "shut up and fuck me" "shut up and blow me" "take it in your mouth"--oh wait, that's not a shut up one. Um, dude. I really really really like dirty talk.
...kissing the curve between the top of the thigh and curve of the ass (m/m especially)
Oh, you know, I've only really rarely read that. But I've been thinking about it all day since I read this. Um, there should be biting there. Yes.
...self-prepping
...the prayer-like use of the word "don't"
Oh. Oh, yeah. Christ.
the straightest guy in straightonia desperate for an ass-reaming, and desperate to hide it. Yup. Yup. Yup.
This is what first got me into slash. The um, self fear some people can have about homosexuality. I think it's an ugly thing in RL. I wish *everyone* was comfortable with their sexual preferences, whatever they are (unless they are hurtful to others, which kinda should go without saying, but whatever I'm saying it because this is a long comment anyway), but in fiction I like it when it freaks someone out.
C'mon, you know it would make that damn show better.
ha!
no subject
Someone needs to write something, especially with 'I want you to fuck me', 'take it, take it all, more, now', & the prayer of "Don't". Cripes, just all of it.
