The most common kinks revealed (Credits: Getty Images)
You know how the saying goes – different strokes for different folks. And that’s never truer than when talking about sex preferences.
Whether you’re vanilla in the bedroom or like to test your limits, there’s something that gets everyone going.
On this week’s episode of our sex positive podcast, Smut Drop, presenter Miranda Kane speaks with sex worker, SkullCandy Bri, who specialises in exploring extreme kinks.
Bri’s main focus is ‘consensual non consent’ (CNC), a controversial practice which is often referred to as ‘rape fantasy’. ’It has been a really interesting niche to explore,’ she says.
CNC was the topic of a previous episode of SmutDrop, which discussed setting ‘bottom lines’ with a partner and planning safe words when engaging in the fetish.
Bri adds that she takes precautions by ‘having people around me who have, my best interests at heart and who care about me, and my mental and emotional well being’.
Aside from CNC, Bri also caters to a whole spectrum of kinks and fetishes. She says: ‘I’ve immersed myself in the community so heavily that I see a lot of other models catering to certain fetishes. And if I feel comfortable exploring it, I start to explore my own.’
These include videos of herself burping, foot smothering, pegging, other types of BDSM and stuffing tights into her mouth.
Listen to the episode now to find out more about it.
Not quite your cup of tea? Here are the UK’s most popular kinks and fetishes, compiled using data from Joy Loves Dolls and Google search trends.
Sadism/Masochism
Most of us might be familiar with this kink, commonly called S&M. While sadism refers to inflicting pain and suffering to someone else for sexual gain, masochism is when you get sexual pleasure from your own pain, humiliation or suffering.
This type of kink gets around 10 million hits a year online.

Humiliation
Similar to the above, this is when you get sexual pleasure from being embarrassed and belittled, but it doesn’t always involve pain or violence, and can be verbal.
CBT
Like we say, this is not a coping mechanism for mental health troubles, but rather stands for cock and ball torture. This involves pain or constriction to the penis or testicles which could be in the form of genital piercing, wax play, genital spanking, squeezing, ball-busting, genital flogging, urethral play, tickle torture, erotic electro-stimulation, kneeing or kicking.
Mummification
You might not be aware of this fetish but it garners around 325,000 searches per year. It involves being wrapped in head to toe, just as mummies were, and being rendered immobile for sexual gratification.
Cuckolding
This one may be a bit more familiar with folks – it involves watching your partner have sex or be sexual with someone else. ‘Cuckqueaning’ refers to a female cuckold, as opposed to a traditional male cuckold.
Claustrophilia
Scared of being stuck in small, confined spaces? Well then you probably have claustrophobia. However, this is the opposite of that.
Claustrophilia is getting sexual satisfaction from small spaces.
Vicarphilia
Another one you might have not been aware of, and no, it’s not a strong attraction to vicars as the name might suggest.
This actually refers to being turned on by other people’s sexual conquests and living vicariously through them. It gets roughly 3.6 million hits a year.
Role play
Probably one of the most well known fetishes and is part of mainstream practice. Role play involves acting out fantasies or roles that are considered sexy to participants.

Impact play
This involves hitting or being hit with an object in a safe and consensual way. It can be for domination purposes.
Age play
This is getting sexual gratification from pretending to be a different age than you are. This might look like adults pretending to be babies or toddlers.
Whatever your kink, just make sure everyone’s on board and happy to be part of it.
