Kinky sex has always been a point of captivation for people because it involves sex, a topic usually greeted with blushed giggles, and knowing glances. Fascination endues When people realize they could be having much more fulfilling sex than they are currently having.
Kink arrived loudly and is here to stay, but it is not without its critics. The critics are largely a factor of judgments and a misunderstanding of the simple fact that people have different tastes.
It's such a simple analogy that I’ve used it time and time again; some people love football and some people love baseball. If you ask them to articulate the reason for their preference, most people will say "I don't know, just because I do.” Now substitute any number of fetishes for football, and vanilla sex with baseball. What’s the real difference here? Would you prevent someone from watching football just as you would purport to prevent empowering someone to seize their own pleasure?
Adjacent Brain Theory
This is a theory put forth by Dr. V.s. Ramachandran of the University of California, San Diego, and utilizes an understanding of the brain’s physical structure to explain kinky interests.
Different parts of the brain govern different body parts and bodily functions. This has been proven extensively, to the point where we now understand exactly where in the brain speech, personality, and anger occur. There are also specific parts of the brain that govern sexual impulses.
Now, it's not as if there are walls in the brain to keep these parts from interacting, talking, and physically overlapping with each other. The adjacent brain theory states that adjacent regions of the brain do in fact show associated activity, which means that the brain region that controls sexual impulse may very well be adjacent to the brain region that controls anger or specific body parts.
For example, the adjacent brain theory easily explains the common foot fetish because the brain regions responsible for sexual impulses, the genitalia, and the feel are close to each other and interact. When there is brain’s activity in one region, there is some brain activity in adjacent regions.
Pavlovian Conditioning Theory
Even if you don't have any interest in psychology, you are probably familiar with Ivan Pavlov and his dog.
Pavlov conducted experiments on his dog to test the subconscious routines that are created in response to predictable stimuli. He began serving dinner to his dog and accompanied dinner with ringing a bell. The dog salivated in anticipation of the food. Soon; Pavlov removed the dinner entirely, and only rang the bell. The dog still salivated as if the food were present.
It showed that when people were conditioned to respond to two stimuli, the same response will come with only one stimuli present.
In the 1960s, a group of men were shown images of naked women interspersed with images of boots. As predictable by conditioning, the men were conditioned to respond with sexual arousal to the two stimuli, and when they were shown only pictures of the boots, they still responded by being sexually aroused.
This study proved that it's possible to form sexual associations with just about anything if the requisite amount of conditioning (voluntary or not) has occurred.
If you have sex or are aroused in the presence of a green teddy bear, all subsequent teddy bears or green furry objects might be enough to trigger your libido. Some might call that a kink, while some might call that a normal Saturday night.
The adjacent brain theory explains many aspects of kink, specifically ones that involve sexual infatuations with nonsexual body parts. But that is only a sliver of the range of kinks that exist.
The key to pavlovian conditioning theory is that there is repeated exposure during periods of sexual arousal - it can even be certain smells, locations, or articles of clothing.
