    Any kink that’s associated with a preoccupation with a natural body part that everybody has is a vanilla kink.

    In the grand hierarchy of the internet, this is basically a vanilla preference. People acting like it’s a ‘Level 99’ boss are definitely overthinking it.

    I have next to no sex drive so essentially any kink sounds absolutely crazy to me. When I took that bdsm test I got 97% vanilla lol

    like idk if I’m ace or not because I dont dislike the idea of doing it with someone, but like my drive to do it is really low compared to how other people describe it

    I’m also on estrogen, progesterone, an antidepressant, and 2 different kind of anxiety meds and they are probably a factor worth mentioning

      Yeah all those meds can have sex drive impacts, so that’s definitely going to muddy the waters, but you need your meds so it kinda makes your medicated state your status quo. I’ve got ADHD which has it’s own sexual complications and antidepressants as well and I feel like sex isn’t particularly important to me, like I’ll have it if it’s going down, but not bothered if it’s not. But for me it’s like I almost wish I cared more? Like I miss the days of being a dumb horny teenager but just a fleeting thought, along with the rest of my fleeting thoughts… SQUIRREL!

    I think it’s weird. Like, people who enjoy this are obviously in the minority… At the same time, I would never judge anyone with this fetish, I wouldn’t even think about it or bring it up. Who the hell cares what consenting adults do!?

        It’s the opposite for me. Hair seems to wick the moisture off the skin and deodorant persist longer for me.

        When I shaved the sweat just kind of sat there without really evaporating and the deodorant just got sucked into the clothes more.

          That’s because you’re noseblind — hair traps smells, you have to shave your armpits semi-regularly otherwise they will just stink. Deodorant and hygiene notwithstanding.

          My hair just holds the moisture close to my skin. It also gets in the way of the deodorant actually making it onto my skin.

      How many levels of kink are there? And guys… shaving armpits? That’s a thing? In my estimation that would get your “man card” a point deduction.

        Not every man tries to be manly; there’s no obligation to. In fact the ones who try to are more likely to be untrustworthy. In a rational person, personal preference on the matter of whether to shave (and on a lot of other things) supersedes social expectations.

        I used to be one of the men who don’t try to be manly, but i stopped being a man. Now i have no gender, gender is bloat, why are we preinstalling it on people, please stop assigning genders to newborns, they did not give you permission to do so.

        Tbh I never rly thought of kink as having levels tbh lol but there are many dif kinds. Some are a bit more extreme by nature ig like D/s or bondage, but to me the degree of importance also plays a huge part. Like, liking smth and absolutely needing it. So I feel like that would raise the level as well

        For example, I like armpits but I could def go without, but there’s other stuff where that just wouldn’t be possible lol

        In recent years, men started shaving their body hair ye :( ig that trend came to be, bc body hair is viewed as smth unclean n shaving as “putting in extra effort” this is ofc a psyop by big razor. The fact that I like hairy men has nothing to do w my opinion, I assure u :3

        Sry for rambly comment :0

      Here’s my attempt

      Tier 1: primary and secondary sex characteristics (my breast fetish is cliche); indicators of health or fertility such as muscles and flat/bigger stomachs (depending on whether starvation or obesity is a bigger concern where you are). This zone is the default, people assume you’re into this.

      Tier 2: other body parts such as feet, pits, body hair; extrapolations from tier 1 kinks such as lactation and post workout stink; I’ll also throw in role related ones such as mom/dad bods, being into certain professions or older/younger (adult) partners; also atypical body variants and body types not associated with health or fertility. This zone is normal but not the default

      Tier 3: I’d say is where you get into light bdsm, humanoid monster fuckers, etc. This zone is stuff where it’s way more common than people act, but still not the sort of thing normal people will casually mention

      Tier 4: heavier bdsm, nonhuman monsterfuckers. This is the “hear me out” zone and the realm of you know you’re kinky af, but it’s generally considered prudish to have a problem with people liking it, but not to not want to hear anything about it

      Tier 5: scat, flatulence, bug chasing, and other things where even the tier 4 people are often uncomfortable with it. Typically gross and/or destructive

        Gotta have a tier 0 for the ace/pan/demi/etc out there. Though agreed people generally assume tier 1. … Although pansexual is probably tier 1, too, otherwise that seems more demi.

          Ace people without kinks do not have kinks and have not been included in this tier list. Neither have been the people who find people attractive but have no particular focus to their attraction beyond finding people attractive for the same reason. It’s not “I think boobs are part of what makes a woman attractive” it’s “oh I’m an absolute tit girl”. It’s just that it’s extremely common to have a sexual focus on one or more sex characteristics or a specific normative body type.
