Since kinks come up often in fandom spaces (and are often misunderstood) I thought it'd be interesting to open up a fandom POSITIVITY thread to discuss them.
To clarify: is there a kink you see in fandom that you don't understand, but would like to learn more about?

OK: "what do you enjoy about ____? What about it appeals to you?"
Not OK: "___ is gross, how could you enjoy that?"
Let's be respectful. My hope and intent is for an exchange of information and knowledge, NOT for people to open themselves up and be judged.

If you're uncomfortable asking with your Twitter handle, you can always send me an anonymous CC and let me know that you'd like for me to post it here for others to reply to and explain.
Alternatively, the same applies for replies. If you see a kink that you'd like to explain anonymously, you can use CC. I understand that kinks can be extremely private and embarassing, and that somemone might want to explain one while not identifying themselves.
I'll add one of my own:
Smoking. I dislike smoking IRL, and in fiction to the point where I often dislike and avoid characters that do so. It's apparently quite common for people to dislike it IRL but find it irresistable in fiction? I don't quite understand the appeal.
