I really like plain language descriptions of kink. Actually explaining shit is SO gd important.
I s2g I am fucking incensed when I look up “hey, literally wtf. I am sexual and I do not understand asexual kink” or whatever.
But the search results I get back are written by fucking doms who effectively write to make the reader their non-consenting sub??
Like. Just fucking explain your gd answer or fuck off.

Anyway.
So… so, like… what *is* subspace?
Mentally stimulating improv to… embody clear instructions from someone in an intimate way — but not necessarily foreplay or sexual?
Like. Maybe this is allosexual BS but I’m genuinely struggling to understand how kink is non sexual.
I’m sure it can be!
I’m probably just not practiced in even trying, but I think I understand how cis het NTs feel.
I tend to say:
gender is about your experience of gender (shared construction of group identity? As it relates to methodology…?) and
sexuality is about your experience of wanting to do things with other people’s gender.
(Like to me, that’s really gd clear, obvious, and nigh incontrovertible.
IDEK how to break it down further.)
But like, subspace is a… flow state you feel on behalf of someone else’s directives?
Oh! Like being a hivemind or synchronised performance!
@MxVerda It's an altered mental state, which can be induced by various activities that fall under the "kink" umbrella.
If someone used alcohol to induce the mental state of being drunk, that *could* be incorporated into a sexual experience, but it wouldn't have to be, right? People can also just enjoy that feeling on its own. Similar kind of deal.
@ErinPtah
Sweet! Thank you.
The best I’d come up with otherwise was “ Similar to autistic unmasking by (gentle / rough) force?”
@MxVerda Hm, I've heard extreme masking described like an altered mental state, so that might be in the same ballpark? Don't know enough about it to say for sure.
"By force" in this context suggests non-consent, so I wouldn't use that phrase. It's induced by another person, but when done right, the sub is participating because it's the state they want to end up in.
