I have full compassion but I don't understand how it works and am interested in people to tell me how# it works. So if anyone is willing please let me know!
For some people, kink is about power exchange and roleplay, not always about sex. Kink is another type of activity and attraction (like, there's friendship, romance, sexual partnership, and kink).
