One-line definition

A play partner is someone you do scenes with, not necessarily a romantic or long-term relationship.

Full definition

Kink separates a distinction ordinary dating language blurs: the person you play with need not be the person you love, live with, or commit to. A play-partner relationship can be a standing arrangement built on trust and compatible interests, with full negotiation and aftercare, and no romance anywhere in it. What it includes is defined by the people in it, explicitly.

  • Casual Play
  • Scene
  • Negotiation
  • Munch
  • Consent
