Happy New Year! It’s 2026 — Let’s Talk Kinky Resolutions

Happy New Year! It’s 2026, and with a fresh calendar comes a fresh opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow. New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be about productivity or perfection — they can also be about how we show up in our relationships, how we treat others, and how we understand ourselves.

If you’re someone who’s curious, imaginative, or interested in kink and alternative relationship dynamics, here are a few kink-positive New Year’s resolutions worth considering.

1. Resolve to Be More Open and Communicative

Being open-minded doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. It means listening without judgment.

People experience desire, curiosity, and connection in wildly different ways. When we approach those differences with curiosity instead of disgust or fear, we create safer spaces for honesty. Open-mindedness allows conversations to happen before misunderstandings turn into shame or silence.

You don’t have to like everything you hear — but giving ideas room to be expressed matters.

2. Make Consent Non-Negotiable

Consent isn’t just a checkbox. It’s an ongoing conversation.

Resolving to always seek clear, enthusiastic consent means respecting that people can change their minds, feel unsure, or say no without needing to justify themselves. Consent builds trust, and trust is what makes any relationship — kinky or not — feel safe and mutual.

A good rule for 2026: if it’s not a clear yes, it’s a no — and that’s okay.

3. Try New Things (Thoughtfully)

Growth doesn’t happen in our comfort zones.

Trying something new doesn’t mean pushing past your limits; it means being willing to explore curiosity safely and intentionally. Sometimes you discover something you love. Sometimes you learn something isn’t for you. Both outcomes are valuable.

You can’t know what resonates with you until imagination meets reality — and learning what you don’t like is just as important as learning what you do.

4. Respect Your Boundaries — Without Apology

Your boundaries are not obstacles. They’re information.

One of the most important resolutions you can make is to stop forcing yourself to be comfortable with things that genuinely aren’t right for you. Saying “this isn’t for me” doesn’t make you boring, close-minded, or difficult. It makes you honest.

Respecting your own boundaries teaches others how to respect others, too.

5. Let Go of Resentment

People are allowed to want different things.

In kink, as in life, frustration often comes from unmet expectations. Let 2026 be the year you stop resenting others for liking what you don’t — or for not liking what you do. Difference doesn’t mean rejection; it just means diversity.

The goal isn’t sameness. The goal is understanding.

Here’s to 2026

May this year bring better communication, stronger consent, kinder curiosity, and deeper self-knowledge. May you learn what excites you, what grounds you, and what you can happily leave behind.

Happy New Year — and here’s to growing, exploring, and respecting ourselves and each other.

My Kink Is Not Your Kink — And That’s Okay

Human desire is astonishingly diverse. What excites one person may do absolutely nothing for another, and that difference is not a flaw—it’s simply part of being human. We rarely agree on what is “sexy,” and that disagreement is not only inevitable, but healthy.

There are entire worlds of attraction that I personally don’t understand. Some people find excitement through words on a screen, through imagination alone, crafting entire experiences out of text and suggestion. While it doesn’t resonate with me, it clearly resonates deeply with others.

There are also interests that make me uncomfortable, not because they are unfamiliar, but because they collide with my personal boundaries or values. It’s important to say this plainly: desire is only acceptable when it is consensual, ethical, and confined to adults. Outside of that, it stops being a preference and becomes harm. However –between two adults– many people engage in adult baby play, daddy/daughter play, or Little play. While these aren’t things I’m personally comfortable with, I don’t judge what they enjoy.

And, I recognize that I enjoy things others have no interest in whatsoever. I’m drawn to intensity, to structured fantasies, to the idea of imagination becoming real through shared trust and play. I love the creativity of roleplay—the way it allows people to step outside themselves and explore safely.




The truth is simple: you don’t have to like what I like, and I don’t have to like what you like.

Of course, our reactions aren’t always fixed. Sometimes something that initially feels strange—or even off-putting—changes once it’s understood or experienced in a safe, respectful way. I’ve seen how trying something new can surprise a person, especially when it offers relief from anxiety or allows them to inhabit a role that feels easier than simply being themselves.

There are limits. Some ideas simply never become comfortable, no matter how much time passes. Recognizing that boundary is just as important as exploring new ones. When that happens, it may mean accepting that no single relationship can fulfill every desire—and that’s not a failure.

For me, this realization made room for a broader understanding of relationships. Different people can meet different needs, whether emotional, intellectual, or physical, as long as honesty and consent guide those connections. Not everyone is equipped for that kind of emotional openness, and that’s okay too. For those who can handle it, I think polyamory is a good way to deal with people you love not necessarily sharing all of your kinks.

I always tell people to take some time with each idea. Never refuse anything outright. Let it marinade in your imagination for a while, and then tell your partner what you think. Sometimes you cozy up to an idea when you let it hang out in your head. Other times, you don’t. But you should never say no before giving the idea time to percolate. When people do this, it reminds me of a child being offered a new food and saying: “No, I hate it!” (Before even trying it.) Don’t be a child saying no to watermelon.

Most of the time, it won’t hurt you to try something new.

Trying something doesn’t mean it will define you forever. Sometimes a desire dissolves once it’s explored. Other times, it deepens. There’s no way to know which until experience replaces imagination. Wanting something intensely doesn’t guarantee it will last, and discovering you don’t enjoy something can be just as valuable as discovering that you do.

What matters most is refusing resentment—toward yourself or others. People are allowed to like what they like, and they’re allowed not to like what they don’t. Difference doesn’t make us incompatible by default; it makes the world more interesting.

If we were all the same, desire would be dull, relationships would be simple in the worst way, and curiosity would disappear. Variety is not the problem. The lack of understanding is.

What Happened to Men?

I thought it might be fun to date a little (since I’m free).

I’d like to talk about how that’s been going:

Women: You are doing great. Plenty of romance. All the dates have been fun and creative. It has been easy to trust my female dates, and they have been up-front about what they wanted. Thank you ladies for being sweet, kind, and compassionate.

Men: What happened to you in the 15 years I was married?

Straight men keep saying things to me like:

“Dating is impossible now. You have to worry about everything you say or do, because women will claim you raped them.”

Guys, when you say this, it is telling people that you have raped somebody. If you are a man who asks for -and gets- consent, then you will never have any reason to fear being “accused” of rape.

Or I hear:

“Women are just after money.”

I suppose this was true in the 1950’s when most jobs were not open to women, and women couldn’t have bank account or credit cards. At that time, women were horribly oppressed and couldn’t make money of their own.

That’s not true anymore. Every woman I know would rather make their own money than have someone accuse them of being a “gold digger.” They are absolutely not after men for money. They literally just want someone to do stuff with.

This break from reality seems to have been done intentionally via propaganda from men like Andrew Tate. Let’s all be honest: Andrew Tate is gay. I have never seen anyone want to suck a dick as bad as Andrew Tate wants to suck a dick. But, he’s a coward so he plays “A Straight Guy” and talks about how he hates women.

If you hate women, just go fuck dudes. No one will stop you. It’s still legal in the blue states. (That joke may be too old for some of you, but that’s okay.)

I beg you -all men- if you want to be with men then just go do that. Don’t make a career of shit-talking women because you’re too afraid to be out and proud.


Don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been all bad. I went out to a Halloween-themed acrobatic show and dance party with a guy who was fairly nice. He wasn’t a good fit for me personally, but he was polite and seemed nice.

And I still have the boyfriends who have been hanging around forever, so I suppose I don’t really need to pick up more men when I already have a few that are nice and kind.The boyfriends prove that there are at least a few men who haven’t bought into the anti-women propaganda.

However, so many are falling for anti-women hate speech and saying ridiculous things like:

“Women said they would choose a bear so they hate men!”

How could anyone intentionally misunderstand something so simple. The “bear thought experiment” was simply a metaphor to explain what it’s like to be a woman. Bears rarely attack women. Men attack women every day. The example of a bear was used because men said they were afraid of bears, so the goal was to point out:

“Yes, you are afraid of bears. However, we want you to know that men are actually more dangerous to women than bears. Think about what that is like for us.”

Because a man’s biggest fear going on a date is that the woman will be fat. And a women’s fear is that she will be raped and murdered. These experiences are very different.

Women were just trying to explain that, and so many of you didn’t listen.


Men, I don’t know what to tell you. Women are making their own money, joining groups and clubs, and spending nights cuddled up watching movies with their friends. They’re making lives centered around themselves, and it’s not to spite men. It’s because of men. It’s because men are so openly hostile that they’d rather hang with their girls.

They’re not bitter. There is no “female loneliness epidemic.” They don’t care if you have money or what you do for work. Most of them don’t even care how tall you are. All your fears are coming from other men, not from women.

All women are asking for is to be treated like people. And to be clear: They deserve that.

Either way, this bisexual girl is sticking to women for now. I like boobs. I like pussy. And most of all, I like being treated like a person rather than an enemy in some boring culture war. I’m an extremely capable person who has survived things that most people don’t survive. However, that doesn’t mean I want to keep surviving crappy stuff. I’d much rather be happy and have fun, and I only want to do that with people who see me as an equal.

Scene Negotiation

People have different communications styles and some people just aren’t very good at communicating. When anyone starts out in BDSM, they can have a really hard time figuring out how to talk about what they want from their partner. To start out, I think it’s okay use a variety of communication methods, rather than having anyone be forced to have an in-person conversation before they are ready.  Here are some ideas for how to start:

Trade Porn: I like to do this with everyone I date because knowing what they have been watching can give you an idea of what they would be interesting in doing with you. This isn’t always true. Sometimes people have a disconnect between the porn they watch and what they want to do. I find it useful though, as long as you’re both willing to be mature adults and admit that you both watch porn. (Or at least read erotica!)

E-mail: I personally am a writer, so I find that I order my thoughts better through my fingers than I would through my mouth. I’m not known for being a graceful speaker. Typing out potential scenes gives your partner a chance to think about them before responding as well, so they don’t have to decide right away if they are okay with it.

In person: When people came to the dungeon they didn’t often know what they wanted, so I always had one of the many BDSM checklists that the internet has to offer available for them. In private sessions in my own home, I generally make tea first and go over a checklist and basic contract with someone first. Holding the teacup in their hand helps them feel comfortable and gives them something to focus on. It is hardest for people to communicate their desires in person, so help them to be comfortable however you can.

Over the Phone: This is good because the submissive does not have to look you in the eyes. It can be hard to be in the same room with someone while saying something like “I’d like you to spit on me and call me a dirty cunt.” This method allows the physical distance that can make emotional distance easier. Emotional distance seems to be the most important factor in being comfortable expressing oneself.

Worksheets: I know it feels silly to be filling out a worksheet about an intimate relationship, but some people are shy and it’s hard to get them talking. Even when they do talk, they are often unsure about what they want. I find worksheets helpful sometimes, if a person is difficult to feel out. You might try giving them as homework and let the submissive fill them out in private while Googling all the terms.

Note About After Care: As you all know, this is the most important part of a scene. This can be accomplished by all of the methods above, but this more than anything else is best in person. Tone of voice means a lot, as well as facial expressions. If you can get someone to be expressive in person, you can get the best idea of how they felt about the various parts of the scene. Make sure to talk about each part. Ask questions like “When you were tied up, did you feel like the ropes were too tight?” or “Did you feel okay with how hard I hit you?” You will both have a better experience if you can communicate better. Resentment can build up in any relationship, but it seems to build up in the most dangerous and dramatic ways in a BDSM relationship. Everyone talks about how important after care is because it is really important.


Consent and Space

In a Kink community there are often teaching workshops and play parties. It is very important to remember a few things if you attend these kinds of events.

Notes on Consent:

This is not just about sexual activity. You may have heard the expression “TMI” meaning Too Much Information. Well this becomes more relevant in the kink community because people have different levels of experience and sometimes they aren’t ready for hearing about things you might be doing/into in details. This is what my friend lovingly calls “Ear Rape,” and it usually takes the form of someone cornering someone else and describing their anal training routine (or whatever) in excruciating detail. When they do this, they often scare off the person that they corner and the scene as a whole loses out. So please don’t ear rape people. They need the opportunity to consent! If you really want to tell them about it, ask if they are interested. However, I’ll be honest with you, 90% of the time if you ask: “Do you want to hear all about my new anal training routine that will allow me to take a 13 inch dildo in two weeks?” the answer to your question is probably no. Of course you’re proud of all the new things you have learned, but that doesn’t mean you need to share.

Implied Consent:

When you go to a play party, there is expected to be people bringing toys and playing with toys. You know this beforehand, and so there is a certain amount of implied consent involved. You understand that you may see people naked. You will probably see different toys used. However, play parties tend to be just to test out new toys. A play party is not an orgy. So you have a reasonable expectation that you will not see sex acts at a play party. People should know to take that behavior into other rooms or wait until they get home, because the party was designated as a “play party” and not as an orgy.

Still, in the example above, a certain level of consent was implied. Remember before you agree to go to an event what sort of interactions there are likely to be, and make your decisions from there. If you do decide to attend an orgy, for example, do not complain that you didn’t consent to seeing people have sex. It’s okay to speak up if you are not comfortable, but please remember to consider what you are comfortable with before attending an event.

Consent to Play:

Before you play with someone at a dungeon or play event, you should talk with them about what they are okay with and agree on some basic rules. The most common of these is to use “red” for stop, “yellow” for caution, and “green” for go. People should at least agree on how to communicate discomfort before they begin any kind of play.

Remember:

They consented to play with each other, not with you. Do not get really close and start masturbating or try to join in without consent. Please, don’t be that guy who can’t respect the privacy of a scene and give the correct amount of space (about 4 feet in all directions.)

Also keep in mind that consent can be revoked at any time. If someone says stop, you need to stop. It doesn’t matter how into it you are or how much fun you are having. No means no (unless you negotiated otherwise) and you need to respect people enough to stop when they become uncomfortable with what is happening.

Space:

Sometimes we are in a small venue. When I lived in South Korea, everyone had tiny apartments and so that is where we had to have our events. This makes it hard to give the appropriate amount of space. However, if you were –say- trying out a flogger, you NEED the correct amount of space so as not to hit other people by mistake. So remember, if you don’t have room all the way around you in every direction, wait to start a scene until the previous couple finishes and moves back into the group to talk. In some living rooms there is only enough space for one couple at a time to try a toy. Respect that and wait your turn. Space is very important when you are swinging toys around and you need to always be aware of your surroundings.

Final Note:

Ask if you’re not sure. Ask if someone is okay to play. Ask before telling a graphic story. Get consent for everything you do and don’t be the creepy person who forces yourself on others. No matter how eager you are to play, you need to treat everyone with respect and dignity and get consent before you impose on them in any way.
