FanChats💬submit your prompts!It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about non-sexual kink in fics? What makes it work for you? Can you recommend a good fic featuring non-sexual kink? 
Soph (they/them)@FandomChats love it!! though tbh sometimes the things that appeal to me on a kink level are Not the same as what appeals to me on a sexual level in a story, so to me whether the kink content is there for me is unrelated to whether or not it's sexual lol.
but also: I just really enjoy stories where characters find ways to be intimate that are personal to them, instead of following standard narratives of How relationships go, and sometimes getting nonsexual kink content in there is one way to accomplish that
also, on another level, something I remember reading meta about in the kink_bingo event on dw is about stories that have an "erotic focus" on a kinky thing even if the characters themselves aren't Doing A Kink and I can really enjoy that too!
I just like when stories are INTERESTED in a thing and then just GO FOR IT on the thing it's doing!
....I will try to come back later with some recs
tei@soph_sol @FandomChats dakfjhga I know exactly the one you mean and almost posted it in this thread 😂 so. https://kink-bingo.dreamwidth.org/478674.html there we go
@bloodripelives @FandomChats yes! that's the one! I remember it being really good and interesting, and helpful for framing my thoughts on the topic!
@FandomChats RIGHT SO obviously my number one nonsexual kink rec is the fic with ling wen nonsexually domming pei ming which bloodletter wrote for me: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54713407
it is perfect and genius and everything to me
and I enjoyed this series of one-shot fics set in a modern au where the unclean realm is a bdsm club. sex does happen but the fic focuses a lot more than the average on kink without sex https://archiveofourown.org/series/1759510
but overall.....I haven't actually done a good job over the years of bookmarking kinxtual stories as such so it's harder for me to pull up recs for!
