Dirty Talk

Glossary terms related to Dirty Talk

• Brat

  A brat is a submissive who deliberately resists, teases, or challenges their dominant partner as a form of engagement — provoking a response rather than offering unquestioning compliance.

• Brat tamer

  A brat tamer is a dominant partner who actively enjoys managing a resistant, challenging, or playfully defiant brat — finding the provocation engaging rather than frustrating.

• CNC

  CNC (Consensual Non-Consent) is a kink practice in which partners negotiate and consent in advance to scenes that simulate non-consensual scenarios — the non-consent is fictional; the consent framing the scene is real and explicit.

• Degradation kink

  A degradation kink is arousal from being treated, spoken to or positioned as lesser, lowered or used, within limits both partners have agreed.

• Give vs Receive (rating axis)

  Give vs Receive is a dual-rating axis used in kink checklists where each activity is rated separately for being on the giving end and the receiving end — because interest in one side does not imply interest in the other.

• Kink

  Kink is any consensual erotic practice outside the cultural mainstream of vanilla sex — including but extending beyond BDSM.

• Kink checklist

  A kink checklist is a negotiation tool that maps a couple's interests across a structured list of kink activities, typically with more granular ratings than a simple yes/no/maybe — covering interest level, experience, and giving versus receiving preferences.

• LPE

  LPE (Low-Protocol Exchange) is a form of consensual power exchange that involves minimal formal structure, few or no required rituals, and a more relaxed expression of dominant and submissive roles.
