...if English is not your native language, why are you trying to tell English speakers how to use an already pretty nebulous term?

[herpymcderp]

It's actually not nebulous though. It's a BDSM term, which is ...well, yeah by nature pretty sexual.

[(Anonymous)]

Except it's not? Maybe it started as a BDSM term, I don't know the history, but it's a pretty broad term now that covers a lot more stuff than BDSM and I've definitely seen it used to apply to non-sexual things in fandom.

In fact, there are whole long lj discussions in fandom about what counts as a "kink."

So yeah, sorry, but pretty nebulous in common fandom usage.

[(Anonymous)]

BDSM isn't always strictly sexual either, though.

[lady_songsmith]

It's not BDSM. It's usually sexual, but it's expanding meaning. Even in a strictly sexual sense, though, it's not BDSM-based. Like, you can have a kink for nibbling on ears or something vanilla like that.

[visp]

Because even a non-native speaker can know enough of English to know when a word is used wrongly? Also, who says the OP is a native-English speaker?

[rubbertea]

because kink is not actually nebulous but pretty straightforward? it's not like we're trying to define irony here.

[(Anonymous)]

It IS pretty nebulous though, in terms of how broad it is and what qualifies as a kink. Like, say someone says she has a suspenders kink. Or a glasses kink. Just look at a kinkmeme and you'll see how wide and blurry the boundaries of the term "kink" are.

[(Anonymous)]

Why wouldn't those be kinks? I was always under the impression that a kink was a specific thing that got you hot and that it didn't matter what that thing was.

[philstar22]

As someone above said, BDSM isn't always sexual either. Often its just about giving up or taking control or some other psychological need without the sexual element at all.
