You decide to check out the anatomy section first, just a quick peek- but one look at what's labelled as a "prosthetic penis" and you are flustered as hell and flipping through it as fast as possible. Nope, okay, not looking at that yet. Something about it feels a bit overwhelming to see pictures, somehow you suspect even more than if you saw the real thing. That's...for later.
May as well go look at what really caught your interest, this kink stuff...time to dive in and see what there is to offer.
"BDSM, an acronym that varies based on who you ask, is a kink centered around power dynamics and play with it. The most common and accepted meaning of BDSM is Bondage, Dominance, Submission/Sadism, and Masochism. Bondage involves gear and tools meant to restrain, including rope, handcuffs, and various sensory blocking tools. There's a lot to explore with bondage alone! Toys into this kink can often be divided into dominants, people interested in taking a more power-oriented role, and submissives, who as the name imply, want to submit to that power. People who are interested in both roles are referred to as switches, and it's not unheard of for peoples' interests to fluctuate as they learn more about the kink and themselves. Consent is a key element of BDSM, especially when sadism and masochism are involved- causing pain to other toys may lead to their injury, as well as emotional vulnerability for all parties involved. Aftercare is a key part of all kink participation, but especially BDSM. Taking care of your partner(s) and checking in with everyone's emotions is vital! Make sure to get all injuries treated as soon as possible, and do not engage with any pain play without having resources available for repairs, be it self-repair materials and equipment or guaranteed access to medical care."
Easy...enough? Well, no, it was a lot of information, but you guess it's not too bad when it's all laid out like this...some people like to be like, bossed around and stuff, or hit, or...yeah. You still don't know if you get the appeal after your own experiences, but it doesn't seem that bad if people do it right.
"Weight gain, stuffing and inflation, are all kinks with a similar vibe, and are actually viable outside of fiction for some toys! While we toys cannot gain weight/mass via eating, some toys enjoy being filled with water, stuffing, beads, sand, or other materials. It's important to have a way to manage and/or remove the excess weight when finished, especially if it ends up impeding movement. Some people enjoy the temporary immobility, but it's good to have a backup plan for when you're done playing around. Not all materials are safe for this and not all toys are compatible with this- check your materials and ask a doctor or specialist before engaging with anything like this!"
...huh. Weird. You have no idea if that'd even work for you, or what it would feel like, but it's neat, you guess?
"Gore is an extreme kink not to be explored by people who are new to sexual play and kink content, and thus will not be gone into much- but it is possible to engage with safely with some toys, as long as careful and extensive precautions are taken. This kink involves play to do with one's anatomy, including ripping, tearing and cutting the body's material. It's not recommended to engage with this kink at all without immediate and thorough medical attention on hand, express consent and boundaries established, and extensive knowledge of the participants' bodies and limitations. Going too hard on this kink can have serious consequences, so we cannot stress enough- do not go into this without research, guidance, and professional assistance."
Scary! Fucking scary! No on that one! You experienced pain already and this sounds even scarier than the BDSM stuff! Aaagh!
...still interesting, but you definitely don't know about that one.
"Clothing and fashion play is immensely common among toys, and is a fun kink that can be enjoyed with little to no risk. Dressing up in outfits that make you feel attractive or help you fit a role is easy enough once you have the stuff, and can be an engaging way to explore different roles and feelings. This can also be something that helps you with non-sexual feelings, with some examples being gender dysphoria and comfort from chronic pain. It can easily be combined with other kinks as well!"
...consider you interested, actually. From your brief encounter with Laurie's box of clothes, you know that fashion is definitely something you're interested in, and if there was a way to bring that into something like this...well, you're even more curious now. You aren't sure if you'll actually commit to doing anything about this, but this stuff seems really cool- and as the pamphlet mentions, lower risk than a lot of the other stuff mentioned here.
"Roleplay is a bizarre kink in our world- due to the nature of so many actions involving "playing pretend", it's very possible for abstract feelings to be made real simply through play acting and mimicry. This can be a good way to interact with more extreme kinks without actually going through with anything severe- pretending to cause injury will cause pain, without actually causing wounds to appear and require attention. This can also be done through text or simply talking, and still give exciting and vivid feelings!"
Oh, this one's cool too. Nice to know there are options for the scarier stuff...not that it makes you any less nervous about it. At least you had a way to look into it safer if you went down that path...but you're really unsure about that.
"Species-specific kink play is a thing to be aware of- almost every toy species has their own abilities to bring to the kink table, as well as vulnerabilities to keep in mind. The vast majority of toys can't heal wounds on their own, so it's important to be careful with pain and injury...but at the same time, some toys are able to engage with previously mentioned kinks easier than others, with no potential for damage to themselves. It's also worth noting that some species are especially vulnerable to specific substances, such as most electronic toys avoiding water or other fluids. On the flipside, some toys such as water toys may enjoy play involving fluids in some way, as it reminds them of comfort and home. Explore away- there are plenty of resources and people with experiences to find!"
...Vine mentioned that you were a water toy...weird to have something here apply to you already. Would you enjoy playing around in the water...but in a way like this? You're not sure yet.
One last bit...
"There are many more different kinds of kink to discover, and even if some of these aren't possible for you in reality- there's always fantasies! Look up art, talk to trusted peers, explore media for things you like!"
Neat.
With your head absolutely packed with new knowledge, you move on to the next section- "Gear and Toys (Not The People Kind)"
It's mostly pictures, and it almost gets the same reaction as the genitalia images- until you see the outfits. The "toy" section is kind of intimidating, with objects in all kinds of shapes and materials listed out with their names and basic functions...but there's too many to focus on. The outfits on the other hand, you want to look at all of them. Kink or otherwise, no matter what this actually "meant" to you, the idea of fashion with a purpose made you immensely, immensely curious. Harnesses, latex, leather, lace...there was so much, and you're absolutely entranced by all of it.
You don't know how long it takes to read all of the little blurbs, but you are wowed by just how much there is. You were going to have to ask someone about this, out of sheer amazed interest alone.
There's still a bit more to read, but you're starting to feel pretty tired of looking at words, and by the look at your key fob, you have 30 minutes before you're set to meet Vine. Do you want to try and power through the techniques section, or start heading out?
