It is arguable that one cannot be fully primal out of prioritizing safety and comfort. The civilized shell gives way to emotions and sexual desire that ranges from happiness, joy, playfulness, silliness, sadness, and grief. Social norms and niceties are discarded for a very unfiltered self. Primal play is a style of BDSM that focuses on raw feelings and actions that are evoked by natural impulses and urges. I discovered, without realising it, that many of my previous lovers exhibited similar animalistic tendencies.Īccording to Kinky a ‘Primal Dom’ is someone who enjoys primal play: This world even seemed to have it’s own vocabulary, so when I met a man who described himself as a ‘primal dom’ I had to go away and look it up. By writing about it I thought I could help others thinking of doing the same, whilst also seeking advice, support and guidance from those that are far more experienced. BDSM and kink can seem daunting for an outsider. It was also one of the reasons why I wanted to start this blog.
