Although most of us would love to be dominated by someone like Christian Grey, it’s safe to say that BDSM is still quite mysterious.

One of the most popular forms of petplay is Fox play. Not only does this allow a pet to be trained and looked after in a similar way to a dog or cat, but there’s also a wild side.

Roleplay is great way to spice up any relationship by bringing a new dynamic to the bedroom. You can try anything you can think of, and commit to it only as much as you’re comfortable with. For some, one particular style of roleplay will become a favourite, and often be engaged in regularly. This is where it becomes a fetish. The word fetish tends to get a bit of a bad rep, generally being associated with things like leather, latex, whips or bondage. Ultimately though, a fetish is just something you enjoy in a sexual way. If you enjoy it, then who cares what anybody else thinks?
