With the rise of online dating, words and terms to describe ourselves and our desires are more prevalent than ever. The tricky thing about words is that many (especially in the world of sex and dating!) don’t actually have a singular meaning understood and accepted by all people. So what the heck can we do?
Questions we ask in this episode:
- Do we use any slang or language in our own dating profiles?
- Do we use labels? How do labels help us? How do they limit us?
- Why does slang and new language emerge around sex and community? Is it just like horoscopes, or what?
- How do we have conversations asking what terms actually mean for different people?
- When is it about understanding ourselves, and when is it about explaining ourselves?
- What should people ‘know’ or learn? When do we ‘need’ to know specifics?
Words and terms we explore:
- Top
- Bottom
- Submissive/Sub
- Dominant / Dom / Domme
- Vers / Switch
- Polyamorous vs. non-monogamy etc
- Open Relationship vs. Ethical Non-Monogamy
- Labels like: stud, stem, femme, butch, otter, bear, twink (presentation slang)
- SW lingo: PSE, GFE, BBJ
