FOLK KINK - A term first used by Rod Boyle in the blog posting of the same name, "Folk Kink" is a term that embraces a comprehensive and multidisciplinary array of amateur sexual techniques. Seen as a reaction to more specialized and dispassionate Kink techniques and fetishes, such as latex, Shibari and Kinbaku, Folk Kink embraces and celebrates the enthusiastically bungled knots, duct tape trusses, toy handcuffs, clothespins, belts, straps, candles, saran wrap, the hastily improvised (and ill advised) lubricants and generally the DIY aesthetic that makes interesting and exciting sex available to the untutored dilettante.
Realizing the complex nature and nuances of sexual behavior, the Folk Kink enthusiast will typically resist the more formal labels and -philia's in favor of a more expansive and compendious approach to sex that not-infrequently necessitates the bemused involvement of the Fire Department or EMS services. With their willingness to creatively pervert handy and everyday materials to unintended ends, the motto or creed of the average Folk Kink Practitioner could be summed as
"It's the amps that Kill, not Voltage...".
A reassurance designed more to loosen bowels than knots. For a more expansive (although by no means complete) look at the ways one can specialize their enjoyment of sex follow the read more - or spend a couple of hours on Craigslist...
