A really great resource to learn about electrostim + buy toys! (us.electrastim.com)
been playing around with electrostim lately - definitely one of the most rewarding kinks out there, but also one of the more dangerous ones. Thought I’d share one of the sites that was helpful for me getting started!...
The Spanking/Spanko Thread
Most spanking subreddits tended towards endless butt pics and precious little discussion, so I figured I would start a thread and see if there are any other spankos on Lemmy!...

This is a total gimmick, but I'd be lying if I said bdsmtest.org wasn't one of my first exposures to the world of kink. Post your results below! (bdsmtest.org)
Freshman year of college the dorm floor that I lived on gathered 30+ people and we all took this test together. One thing led to another and a group of us ended up joining the local munch in our town! Definitely one of my best memories and my first foray into the BDSM community.
What are your favorite BDSM-related podcasts, blogs, or YouTube channels?
I, of course, have to shout out some of the classics:...

50 Shades of BS - How to tell the Difference Between Kink and Abuse (www.scarleteen.com)
Scarleteen is a sex education website that I used for a few years before I turned 18, but it's full of wisdom that can is equally valuable for adults as well. This is a quick read but an important one for anybody looking to get into kink
A great compilation of non-fiction BDSM books for those who want to learn about kink! I particularly recommend "The New Topping Book" and/or "The New Bottoming Book" for new users. (www.goodreads.com)
Are there any good resources for people looking to get into bdsm?
I'm pretty well versed and into a fair amount of kink/bdsm stuff, but for people looking to explore it might be nice to have some resources.
Resources for reading about healthy experimentation in the bedroom?
I'm pretty well versed in the bdsm culture, but I've always wanted to read more literature on the subject. Are there any deep dives or even academic papers to look at? Specific subject matter can be whatever, but I'm mostly curious about articles that delve into WHY some people enjoy BDSM and others don't.
