Kinks for Couples: 7 Types + 75 Kinky Things to Try (2026)

Kink isn't a fringe thing anymore. In 2026 what used to be filed under "BDSM" is being discussed in ordinary relationship language, couples are taking sex-ed workshops for fun, and interest in toys and power play is climbing fast. The couples having the best sex aren't doing anything exotic — they're just naming what turns them on and building a ladder to climb together.

This is that ladder. Below are the 7 most popular kinks for couples, each explained in plain language, each with 3 challenges per level — 75 dares in total, straight from the NaughtyApp game. Find the one that makes you both curious and start at the bottom.

The 3 rules that apply to every kink

• Enthusiastic consent from both. A "maybe" is a no. Talk about it before, not during.
• A safe word. One word that stops everything instantly, no explanation needed.
• Aftercare. Intense play brings up big feelings. Cuddle, reassure, reconnect afterwards. Every time.

How the levels work: every kink below climbs through four stages — warming up (curious and gentle), getting bolder, hot, and the finish (where you let go). Never skip a stage on your first night with a new kink.

1. Submission & dominance

The most popular kink of all, and the gateway to most of the others. One partner leads, the other surrenders — through orders, restraint, denial, and permission. It isn't about anyone being "less than"; it's the thrill of letting go and the thrill of being trusted to lead. Swap roles whenever you like. (New to it? Start with our dominance and submission guide.)

Warming up

• Face down, wait. She lies on her stomach and spreads herself; he presses his face between her cheeks and stays there — she alone decides when he's released.
• Count every pulse. She fits a toy on him and orders him to count each pulse out loud through 90 seconds of slow bursts. Miscount and he starts again from one.
• Knees together, or else. He puts a toy inside her and commands her to keep her thighs open and still for 90 seconds — every time she closes her legs, he adds 10 more.

Getting bolder

• Mouth only. On all fours, she orders him to lubricate her with his tongue, then to take the plug in his mouth and insert it using nothing but his lips — and to remove it the same way when she says.
• Clamped and teased. He sits between her legs; she clamps his nipples, strokes him agonisingly slowly, touches herself with her free hand and rubs it across his face so he can smell her.
• Three chances. She gets three attempts to deep-throat a toy. If she manages it, she names her reward; if she fails, ten spanks.

Hot

• You do the work. On all fours, he holds a toy inside her perfectly still — she has to move herself back and forth on it while he spanks her, then lick it clean.
• Don't drop it. She makes him insert a plug with his mouth, then rides him; halfway through she pulls it out and puts it in his mouth. If it falls, she stops riding.
• Proof. He spanks her until she's red, takes her ten hard strokes, then photographs her spread open and shows her exactly what he did.

The finish

• Face in place. She stands facing the wall and spreads herself; he kneels with his face between her cheeks and strokes himself to orgasm — the second his face leaves, he has to stop.
• Two slaps, move. He slides in deep and stops dead. She can touch her clit but can't move unless he signals: two slaps means move, one means stop — all the way to her orgasm.
• Mouth full. He stands; she kneels with him in her mouth and touches herself to orgasm. If she takes him out, she stops. He films it.

2. Foot fetish

The most-searched fetish on earth, and the easiest to start because it needs nothing but clean feet. Massage becomes kissing becomes teasing. (Full breakdown in our foot fetish challenges guide.)

Warming up

• Toes on his chest. She lies back in front of him and works his nipples using only her feet until the timer ends.
• Sigh by sigh. She wears a toy with her feet in his lap; he kisses and licks her soles, turning it up at every sigh, for 90 seconds.
• Through the fabric. Same thing in stockings — he kisses her feet through the nylon and bumps it up at every toe.

Getting bolder

• Ice, then a footjob. He melts an ice cube on her feet using only his mouth; she then uses them on him until he's at the edge, and stops.
• Cold toes. Same ice trick on her feet, then he uses his cooled toes on her clit until she's right at the brink.
• All the way up. He touches himself while she teases him with her feet — his face, his belly, his balls, wherever she likes.

Hot

• Toes in his mouth. Ankles on his shoulders, her toes in his mouth the whole time he's inside her — he can't let go until the timer ends. She films it for him.
• Soles on show. She kneels facing the wall, hands flat on it, and works him with her feet from behind — giving him a full view of everything.
• Licked and slid. He licks her feet to slick them, then slides between them until the timer ends, while she records.

The finish

• Feet first. Same wall position — she takes him all the way to the end using only her feet.
• Toes to the last second. Her ankles up, her toes in his mouth while he's inside her — if he lets go, he doesn't get to finish.
• Look at my soles. She lies on her stomach while he stands behind stroking himself; she teases — spreads herself, tells him where to look, asks him to kiss her soles — until he goes.

3. Cuckold & hotwife

One partner gets turned on by the other being desired, watched or enjoyed by someone else. For almost everyone this stays pure fantasy — talk, teasing and denial, no third person. (Types and full rules in our cuckold guide.)

Warming up

• Kneel and listen. She stands; he kneels behind her, kissing and breathing her in while she tells him exactly what she'd do with another man.
• Where they finished. She points to every place another man once finished on her, and he kisses each spot as she tells the story.
• Best hookup. She wears a toy; he holds the app and makes her describe her hottest hookup before him, turning it up at every filthy detail.

Getting bolder

• The interview. She strokes him and makes him answer: "Do you like watching me get fucked? Do you want to join, or just watch?"
• The comparison. She holds him tight and completely still, glans exposed, and calmly compares him to the bigger, better men she's had.
• Would you still? She asks if he'd go down on her right after another man. Yes earns him the right to touch himself; no means he does it anyway, hands behind his back.

Hot

• Pretend it's him. She goes down on him telling him she's imagining he's a specific man she wants — and names him.
• This wet for someone else. She touches herself to the edge picturing another man, then has him lick her clean and makes sure he knows why.
• Two at once. She fixes a toy to the wall and rides it on all fours while going down on him, telling him how good two men at once feels.

The finish

• Her chosen video. She picks a cuckold clip with something she'd love to do in front of him, makes him watch, and comes barely moving.
• Only if you picture it. He may only finish while imagining her with another man — she keeps asking what he's thinking, and the moment he stops, he stops.
• Breathe her in. She sits facing him and orders him to stroke himself while she tells him she's thinking of another man. No touching — but she'll stand and make him breathe her in.

4. Anal

Hugely searched, hugely rewarding — with three non-negotiables: lots of lube, going slow, and the receiving partner controlling the pace. (Full safety rules in our anal challenges guide.)

Warming up

• Rate yourself. Panties off, on all fours, she spreads herself and shows him how turned on she is — the number of contractions equals her number out of ten.
• Outside only. He spreads her, spits, and massages her with his fingertip until the timer ends — with a strict rule: nothing goes in.
• Five squeezes. He rests a fingertip against her, no pressure at all, and she does five contractions around it.

Getting bolder

• Hands full. Face down, hips high, one hand reaching behind and the other under her body on her clit — while he helps with two fingers inside her, circling slowly.
• Ice and tongue. On all fours, he takes an ice cube in his mouth and tries to work it into her using only his tongue and lips.
• One finger at a time. He adds one finger at a time until she says stop, then she touches herself to the timer with his fingers still inside.

Hot

• Her green light. He lubricates a toy and rubs it against her without entering. She decides when and how — and the second she gives the word, he gives it everything.
• Everywhere at once. A finger inside her, his tongue as deep as it goes in her, and his other hand working her clit until the timer ends.
• Still, and squeeze. He slides in just the tip and freezes completely; she does the work with contractions while he stays absolutely still.

The finish

• Cuffed and full. One hand cuffed to the bed, the other free to touch herself; he takes her slowly while working as many fingers as he can into her, until she comes.
• She rides. He lubricates her and lies back; she climbs on facing away and rides him anally at her own pace, touching herself, until she comes.
• Both at once. One finger in each, slow at first, faster as she climbs, his tongue on her clit the whole way.

5. Oral

Not exotic, but done properly it's the most reliably intense thing most couples have. The kink here is in the rules: positions, timing, and being made to wait.

Warming up

• Twerk on his face. She stands and spreads; he puts his face between her cheeks and she moves on him until the timer ends.
• Through the panties. He lies back and she sits on his face — he can only lick and breathe her in through the fabric.
• Ten squats. Same setup, but she does ten slow squats over his mouth while he tries to keep up through her panties.

Getting bolder

• Three videos. She picks three clips and watches on all fours: he kisses her back through the first, licks her through the second, licks and touches her through the third.
• Pinned. He lies with his arms wide; she sits on his face and holds his arms down, pulling away to tease whenever he gets too comfortable.
• Kisses only. She holds him at the base with the head fully exposed and only kisses it — no tongue, no movement, no mercy.

Hot

• Three minutes, three ways. Minute one: tongue tip everywhere except the head. Minute two: only the head in her mouth, circling. Minute three: as deep as she can take him.
• Two minutes, two places. First minute his tongue as deep as possible inside her, circling; second minute the same treatment lower down. She touches herself throughout.
• Over the edge. She lies back with her head over the edge of the bed; he takes her mouth from that angle while bending forward to work her clit.

The finish

• Head back, all the way. Same over-the-edge position, this time until he finishes.
• Her turn upside down. He lies with his head over the edge; she lowers herself onto his mouth and he licks her to orgasm while she reaches forward to stroke him.
• Hands behind your back. She sits on the edge; he goes down on her slowly, using only his mouth, hands locked behind his back, until she comes.

6. Exhibitionism

The rush of being seen — or nearly seen. It scales beautifully: from no underwear at work to a window, a car, a camera. Keep it legal and keep faces out of anything you share.

Warming up

• No underwear day. She picks a day this week to go to work in her usual clothes with nothing underneath — and sends him proof.
• Balcony. A toy in her underwear, she steps onto the balcony; he controls it from inside while the neighbours might glance up.
• By the window. A toy under her dress near the window; he builds it up while she waves at the empty street.

Getting bolder

• Video call. She's on a video chat with someone; he works her clit off-camera and she has to act completely normal.
• Around the block. A drive with her top down and his hands anywhere he likes. (No car? A walk and a dark corner.)
• Short skirt, no panties. Out to the balcony or the yard, where he touches her without lifting the skirt.

Hot

• Anonymous compliments. He photographs her spread — nothing identifying — and shares it, asking a stranger what they think. She gets to enjoy the answers.
• Found it online. He records himself working her (again, nothing identifying) and shares it saying he found the clip online, asking if they like it.
• Rate that. Same idea, on all fours: one photo, one question, one very flattered girlfriend.

The finish

• Come while they talk. She's mid video call; he works her clit off-screen until she comes, and she has to hold the conversation together.
• Under the desk. Same call, but he's going down on her the entire time — until she can't hide it.
• Random number. He takes her from behind, then video-calls a random number pointing the camera at her, and lets the stranger decide whether to keep watching until she finishes.

7. Finish on top

The one kink with a single level, because it is the finale: he pulls out and finishes on her, exactly where you both want. It's about the visual and the claim — and it works best when she chooses the spot in advance.

The finish

• All over. On all fours, hips up: he takes her, pulls out at the last second and finishes on her while she spreads herself to receive it.
• Her lube. She spreads herself open and he strokes himself until he finishes right there — and she rubs it into her clit afterwards.
• Open wide. He stands, she kneels and works him with her hand aimed at her mouth — and opens it at exactly the right moment.

These 75 are a fraction of what's in the game. The full NaughtyApp has 4,500+ dares across all of these categories and more, with a built-in timer and five intensity levels each.

How to pick your kink

• Both make a list. Separately write down which of the seven you'd try. Compare — only what appears on both lists goes on the table.
• Start one level below where you think you are. The climb is the fun part; arriving too fast wastes it.
• One kink per night. Mixing four at once is how couples end up overwhelmed instead of turned on.
• Debrief the next day. What did you like? What would you change? That conversation is what makes the next night better.

Kinks FAQ

What is the most common kink for couples?

Dominance and submission is the most widely reported, followed by foot fetish — the most-searched fetish in the world. Most couples find that once they try one, the others become much easier to talk about.

How do I tell my partner about my kink?

Frame it as a game rather than a confession. Suggest a challenge, or each write a private list and compare — you only explore what appears on both lists. That removes the pressure and the fear of judgment.

Is it normal to have kinks?

Completely. Surveys consistently find that the large majority of people report at least one kink or unusual fantasy. Having them says nothing bad about you or your relationship.

How do we explore kinks safely?

Three rules: enthusiastic consent from both partners, a safe word that stops everything instantly, and aftercare afterwards. Start at the gentlest level and only move up when you both want to.
