Contrary to what movies like 50 Shades of Grey would have you believe BDSM is perhaps one of the most liberating forms of sex. Something like this requires mutual trust and consent, more than anything, as well as an inquisitive mind. Though it may be hard to express and indulge in these curiosities in a country where the three letter word still remains a taboo. Here, what happens behind closed doors must stay behind closed doors. The repression of not just healthy conversations but even sexual experiences is a commonly occurring societal phenomenon.
Not so much! According to the India Today Sex Survey , India is definitely getting much kinkier and its beginnings in the digital age can be traced to online chat rooms where these hushed conversations first found a voice. But just like most things on the internet, these voices then evolved to social networking sites, one being completely dedicated to kinksters. Welcome to FetLife. The user interface is quite simple, the content quite sassy. All members need to do is simply sign up using their email id and create a username and password.
Members can add friends or playmates based on common kinks or fetish, upload pictures or videos and express their thoughts or ask questions with no specific word limit. All members must specify age and location, though most tend to fake it. If not then the kinky year-olds in Antarctica seem to be having the most amount of fun. Fet Life India has a network of almost 53, registered kinksters across the country, with around users from Maharashtra alone.
No sex involved , events and private dates that Fet Life members organise at their own discretion. Not just metros but even tier 2 and tier 3 cities have active BDSM and kink groups that meet behind closed doors.
Allen agrees. That is how media has always portrayed it. With the rise of sexual assaults in India and rape culture across the world⦠people need to stop looking at us like abominations because contrary to what everyone thinks of us, BDSM practitioners have the healthiest sexual encounters and relationships⦠relationships that are based on trust, negotiation and consent.
