We all have certain kinks, fetishes or just things we want to experiment with in bed. Even though we know what we like, or what we want to try it can sometimes feel a bit awkward to bring this up with your partner. However, kinks are a normal part of sexuality and remember communication is sexy! Nevertheless, communication can be daunting sometimes, but not to worry we're here to help:

1. First things first, make sure that you are confident in your kink. You need to be comfortable in what turns you on in order to communicate it calmly and without too many nerves. You don't want to repress your kink as this can lead to other difficulties down the line. However, if you feel super uncomfortable or for some reason ashamed by your kink then it might be important to speak to a therapist first to analyse why this is. 
2. To bring up the topic, there's two possible good ways to do this. Firstly, maybe relate to a pop-culture reference, or something you've seen in the media, and ask if they've tried that or if they've thought about it, and take it from there. Or, after you have sex, you can casually ask if there's anything they want to try, and then bring up your kink. 
3. Explain the kink to your partner. They might not know that much about it, so explain what it is, and what turns you on about it so that they can understand. And answer any questions that they may have. 
4. Start slow. This doesn't mean you just get the whips our immediately. Take it slow. And go at a pace that works well for both you and your partner, especially if it might not be their kink, ease them into it, see that they are comfortable, and if they are uncomfortable communicate and don't push them. CONSENT! 
5. Be mindful of your partner. You never know what experiences they've had before, good or bad so be kind and sensitive to that. Some people have had bad experiences with kinks, and ex partners, communicate with them, and discuss consent and your boundaries. 
6. Also make sure that you listen to what your partner's kinks may be. Be open minded, and treat them with the same respect and kindness you'd want to be treated with. However, if your partner has a kink that you are not comfortable with or is against your boundaries, you need to make that clear do not do anything that you are not comfortable doing. 
7. If your partner doesn't share your kink, that's fine! Sometimes people just won't be into the same stuff as you, we're all different. Think about how essential this kink is to you and evaluate the situation and relationship. If you feel like your kink is so vital then you might want to talk to someone about this.

In sum, even though it might feel nerve-racking to communicate your kink, just communicate, be open, be honest, and be mindful. Treat others how you want to be treated when they discuss their kink with you and always communicate consent and establish boundaries.
