Are you into hardcore BDSM?
For many of us, a little goes a long way. But some like to play at the edge.
Extreme BDSM or hardcore BDSM is when a fetish or BDSM play carries considerable risk, or is miles past what most crave sexually.
People with extreme BDSM tastes crave more intensity. Hardcore BDSM kinks are simply more extreme fetishes or more extreme versions of bondage, discipline, or sadomasochism.
The same thrill of taboo and danger that excites everyone sexually is amped up. Just as a desire for pain, punishment, or control exists within all of us, with hardcore sex or BDSM, the desire for those sensations or psychological states is turned up.
Extreme BDSM kinks take common desires such as humiliation, power exchange, and danger to their limit.
