It's Fall y'all! The weather has me feeling cozy and cuddly. I have been fantasizing and day dreaming a lot lately.

Kink is heavily on my mind since I've stopped the eternal summer sweating for the next 4 months or so. This led me to the idea that it would be fun to find kinks that just give off a Halloween vibe. 🎃

In true dictionary style, these 25 Halloween-inspired kinks are defined in a neutral, educational tone.

Items marked with ★ indicate higher-risk or edgeplay activities that require advanced knowledge, strong negotiation/ boundaries, and extra safety planning.

All exploration should be consensual, informed, and grounded in care.

PSA: Do not do try these without further research, and come back blaming me for your injuries.
