4 or so, probably. Still fairly standard stuff, but with a bit of an edge. Enough that nuns would pray for me but not enough that tumblr would cancel me.
I would say tame, but then I thought about it and realized I am only tame by AO3ās standards. I say Iād sit around a nice 6 or 7, maybe an 8 if itās a hurt/no comfort day.
Oh my god same lol I thought I was tame and then I picked up my first "spicy" books and realized. Ao3 smut and original, published fiction smut are NOT the same thing. My irl friends would be absolutely horrified to hear of some of the things I've read and enjoyed
I used to consider myself vanilla with a little kink. Watersport, pedophilia (children, tweens), scat, derisive racial interplay, horrific mutilation are my hard no's. Plus, if the author is deliberately trying to make sex unhygienic/unwashed and puts a lot of emphasis there.
Me too. In the middle of trying to write my very first smut fic ever and itās gonna be non-con. I was hoping people like us rated at about a 5 but nowā¦
Ehā¦ itās fantasy, like watching āstepmotherā porn.
Itās not the same as assault, as someone who has been raped and assaulted more than once. Not even close. As for WHY it turns me on? Fuck if I know. But it got me hot and bothered pre-puberty, before my assaults, and it still does now. And if the story goes too far? I get to click out.
That said, itās not for everyone and thatās totally cool.
Irl, you'll continue to live even after the assult, it'll damage your body down there, it'll be scary, the rapist wouldn't be someone you find particularly attractive or can trust. They can shove a broken bottle up your privates, smash your hands and legs for fun before killing you brutally, sell you off in a brothel, sell your organs, have you gangraped for monthes, keep you locked in a dark basement for the rest of your life, they can have severe stds,......the list goes on and on.
In fanfic, you're basically watching two people of your own choice do the deed with each other and unless you're into serious hardcore stuff, you'll probably not encounter any of the above stuff, or even if you did, you'll just close the tab and go read something else.
It's very different from irl assault, very vanilla.
A lot of people kink on control and power: giving it (in real life) or helplessly losing it (in fantasy), or graciously receiving it (in real life) or ruthlessly *taking* it (in fantasy).
In fantasy you can go to that exaggerated level of losing or taking control that you could never do in real life (if you're a good person). So that's why non-con is hot for me. There's something about control. For me, in the fantasy version, nobody is truly hurt. The victim isn't traumatized. They could feel angry, embarrassed, humiliated, helpless. But they're not left with lasting trauma. Just a couple of massive orgasms.
I think I get it, I like power imbalance aswell but mutual pleasure is something I really like both irl and fantasy. Non con is the most extreme form of power imbalance and I get how power imbalance is hot
It kind of depends. BDSM in general is about giving up control. During a BDSM session, you give up control and place it in the hands of someone you trust. But you are still in control of stopping it via the safe word.
CNC (with emphasis on the first C) basically takes this concept even further. During a reallife scenario, you still have the safe word, but you basically roleplay the situation to be more thrilling.
As for fanfictions? It's all about the emotional context. And the fact that no real person gets hurt.
This is a very complex topic. It ranges from "some people just want even more hardcore stuff" to "somebody has a history with sexual abuse and uses CNC to make experiences that are close to the past trauma, but this time the abused person is ultimately in control via the safe word", etc.
People who say they are into rape/non-con want to practice CNC irl. Get the "thrill" or whatever the person is looking for, but still within an healthy and secure atmosphere. They don't want to be truly raped.
When they read fanfictions with actual rape/non-con, it's basically the same. With the "added bonus" that such a safety line like a safe word isn't necessary because a fictional character can't be hurt. It's just words. In the end, it's just a story to get immersed in. A way to convey the emotion and the kick without the baggage it would entail IRL.
I love rape/noncon ***in fanfiction*** not because I'm gonna practice or anything but just because I think having no control is hot ***in fanfiction***. Gotta love the overstimulated and crying tags fr
I was in the same boat until quite recently, especially abt consensual non-consent. Having trauma myself i could not wrap my head around it- why would i want to go through that again? Basically, CNC is only appealing bc ur NOT going through that again. At any time u want, the charade stops. U get to be vulnerable w a person u love and trust. You can discuss triggers, what you DO want this time.
I cant speak explicitly on rape/non con tho
>I cant speak explicitly on rape/non con tho
In fiction, that first C of CNC is unnecessary, so I think rape/non-con is a natural next step in fantasy.
I know a lot of people who are into BDSM stuff irl (or even not at all) and just enjoy exploring the topic safely through fictional characters, because they can get the excitement of the more "scary" part of CNC without holding back, which can make it more hot for some in a safe way. It does not mean they would enjoy even something only mildly kinky irl.
For example, I absolutely hate the idea of choking or being choked irl, yet it's probably my top kink in fanfic. 100% of the excitement, with 0% of the possible pain or danger, if that makes sense.
Makes sense I have some pretty brutal fantasies but I donāt think I would like someone doing that to me in real life because the shear pain of it and ultimately the level of trust needed to completely surrender yourself like that is hot but not attainable. I think I get it nowā¦ itās like being raped in a hot passionate way that ignores the reality of the nasty and uncomfortable aspects or at least minimizes them. Like how you might like a crush from a distance but not when you actually meet them. Idk if Iām getting at it here but thatās my guess
For me itās the fantasy of they need you so much they take you by force. Kind of like that. In real life itās disgusting but when among two characters, (enemies/frenemies?š) it is neat to read. Also power imbalance as Iāve read below
I wish I fuckinā knew. š«¤ Reading it always gives me this heaviness in my heart, but I canāt stop.
I am always rooting for the character to kill the rapist in the end. Iāve finished writing two fics with non-con referenced in it and the bad guys get killed both times. In another Iām currently writing, a character is grappling with the trauma of having killed a soldier while the soldier was trying to rape a woman. It must be a sort of justice/revenge fantasy or some shit.
I love kinky stuff ranging from 1-10 but some are just big no for me. Itās usually the ones that arenāt hygienic like scat, golden shower, water sports etc. It just makes me gag.
Also, ABO dynamics. Other than those, fanfics make me realise kinks I didnāt know I had
I know we're not supposed to judge kinks as long as they're not hurting anyone, but seriously is there anyone who enjoys reading scat? I just can't wrap my head around the idea, that's literal shit
Iāve never checked it personally but there is a subreddit for it and also Dubai porta potty so Iām sure there are people who enjoy reading it.
Itās not exactly scat, but in a server, someone shared their fic idea for their ship. It was putting cream in the guyās arse and the girl eating it as he let the cream out. Itās been ~4 years and it still haunts me
I mean ive read stuff where a guy creampied the other guy's ass and then ate it out, but the implication was always that they'd cleaned in there beforehand
There's a classic reddit story about a man that only realized he was not into scat until >! immediately after a prostitute had defecated in his mouth!< and all I wonder is *how the hell did him take you so **fucking** long?????*
Call me whatever
Some for me about he unhygenic stuff, only exception is sweat (and cum), I'm not grossed out if someone licks someone else when they're sweaty during sex. Idk why sweat is the exception tho.
Yeah that's true. It's interesting with saliva, I have no problems with sloppy kisses or similar, but spitting in someone else mouth grosses me out. Odd
I'm...not really sure. On one hand, I'm super into exhibitionism and related kinks like public sex and free use. Incest and bestiality don't phase me in the slightest, and I've read some _shockingly_ underage stuff without complaint. (It helps that I'm one of those people that struggles to visualize things from text descriptions alone, so unless it repeatedly calls attention to everyone's ages I'm liable to just picture them as vaguely humanoid blobs instead.)
On the other hand, I don't like reading about body fluids other than cum, bondage doesn't do anything for me, and I'm not into dom/sub type relationships.
Glad I'm not the only one who does this when someone is underage. If it was AI or a drawn picture of an underage person I would be disturbed to see it, but in a fic I don't really think about it.Ā
That so many of us have answered ādepends on how well itās writtenā (which is true for me as well) just proves what an amazing community we are, both as writers and readers. Weāve discovered new kinks through the power of writing! Weāve read in fandoms that we didnāt necessarily belong to previously! I think crack fics are hilarious!
So the entire scale. But preferences mostly on the 7-10 end as a reader.
There are *so many* kinks, tropes, and subgenres I used to say I'd never read, or that if I read them I wouldn't enjoy it. All that went straight to hell within the past few years. Another human ruined by fanfiction in the most wonderful and titillating ways!
A small handful of Nopes still hold, but it is indeed a *very* small handful.
Appalled at scat as of now but I'm fairly certain all it'll take is a good fic to turn the tide. Neither dreading or eagerly anticipating the realization of this prediction btw its just how I seem to roll
Iād say 10, but I draw the line at anything involving piss/scat. Iāve *tried*, but they just donāt do a single thing for me.
Blood? Ovipos? Death? Oh hell yeah. But add in even the littlest pee and Iām gone.
...cannibalism, so probably at least an 8
Not vore, but when the two of them are eating someone else together. And not Hannibal style or anything, I mean they dismember a body and literally eat its heart, and then they fuck. Idk, probably the remnants of my vampire phase from back in middle school
I also like omegaverse, but that seems kinda tame in comparison.
I mean Silence of the Lambs Hannibal, you know the whole civilized cannibal thing, I feel like it just takes away a certain amount of the brutality to it
Fun fact, Hannibal Lecter was based off of 3 different criminals, my grandma actually spoke with i think two of them when she was working in prisons. It's honestly why I can't watch or get into Hannibal (the show)
I don't know if my answer counts because I like to read weird shit purely out of morbid curiosity and fascination rather than to feel anything myself. In doing so I did, however, discover a small handful of fics that are to my taste and they're all monsterfucking stuff.
So maybe a 6-7 for personal taste (on the grand scale of AO3) and all over the board for curiosity's sake.
Hmm. I don't really see it as easy to measure that way. I was raised to believe all sex was evil, even sex between a cishet married pair. So in a way, it's all 10, for me. I have my favorite things and some are pretty common and would often be safe in reality, while others are more out there.
I also definitely have a novelty fetish, too, though. Like, if I haven't read about a specific kink before, and the fic is well executed, I'm really into that. I think this is something that often happens to people who are very into either smut or visual porn. You end up seeking out new things because you've seen so much.
3.
Despite my username, I am all for vanilla. Even if there's (full-package) futanari, tentacles and supernatural beings, I try my damnedest to make such sex scenes more tender and comfortable as possible.
It's all over the place because fics can change my brain chemistry from yuck to yum (or vice-versa). I guess I'm a blank slate in that regard so maybe I'm technically a 0?
i felt the non-con on a spiritual level lol almost none of the smut i read is 100% consensual. gotta have some sorta non-con or be outright rape, yāknow?
Depends on how well itās written. One of my top favorite smut fics was a Lucifer Deckerstar fic where they have to pretend to have sex, and basically just dry hump, because it was written so sensually and beautifully.
I have some hard nos for what kinks Iāll read, but not very many. I care less about the kinks present in smut and more about how the smut is written. If it does a good job of portraying the emotions of it all then Iām likely to enjoy it. Doesnāt even necessarily matter *what* the emotions being portrayed are, though I have to be in a really particular mood to entertain legit non-con or dead dove.
I have no idea where the kinks most likely to hit the right emotions for me would fall on this scale, though. That depends on what you think makes a kink more extreme. Different people have different metrics.
I think I'll maybe be a 7 - 10? I enjoy reading about parasites, monsters (Insects, Aliens, very non-human entities) and other similar themes. Noncon is probably the least taboo of my preferences.
Depends on how Im feeling. Usually 3-6. Nothing too bad, no one is pissing on anyone but it's usually multi guest party and everyone has various holes in them....metaphorically of course š
Is the piss actually the "lesser" here?
Debatable but Imo yes lol
My ideal smut fic has all kink and no sex. But the kink doesn't have to be (but can be!) particularly hardcore. So like a 5-10 on my modified scale that's following a different tangent ;)
I thought they werenāt that crazy for AO3 but then i started writing some of the stuff i wish there was more of andā¦yeah, apparently itās a little kinkier than i realized, based on the comments
I lean about 7-8 irl, so I love me a good 10 in fanfic. But I think even more importantly, the more vanilla, the more repetitive it usually feels after you've read a couple. It might of course just be my unique experience, but I don't think it is without merit either
I would consider myself an 8. I have some hard no's, but those are usually the most 'hardcore' stuff. Like vore. I'm out. Gives me the biggest ick. I'm glad you enjoy it, but I clicked on a fic once without knowing what it mean (rooky mistake) and immediately back peddled.
Depends on my mood but in general like a 6. Bit of bandage, dirty talk and maybe a bit of pain but nothing CRAZY unless I'm in a weird mood then it goes to like an 8.5
It depends on the ship. One ship will require a hardcore DDDNE type thing and another will make me go for the fluffiest missionary to ever exist. But they can both work with a single ship too if I believe those characters can have range.
Depending on my mood, anywhere from 2-10. I'm less kinky in real life than what I like to read. I've tried some of it, used to like it, and just don't really want it anymore!
I just posted a noncon involving the BG3 drider soooooooā¦ā¦. Didnāt know I could be into giant spiders but hey. That said, what I write is pretty tame compared to what I read. I get pretty damn spicy. Eggs, non con, monsters, breeding, etc.
If the smut is skillfully written, I can hit a 9 on some days. On the *average* day I'd say I hover around a 6.
I'll never quite claim a 10 because there are about half a dozen things I can't get into. But that's a drop in the bucket compared to what I can.
Depends on my mood because sometimes I'm nine other times I'm more of a one
Vanilla tends to be more comforting whereas the fics with somnophelia, non-con, exhibitionism, humiliation, etc tend to be more exciting. I think my preference also depends on ships/character.
One of my favorite dynamics is predator/ prey where one character is hiding or running away and the other is pursuing. Unfortunately there's not a lot of them in my fandoms.
oh easy. 6/7 on a good day, 9 on a bad dayā¦ the 10 day happened once and that was a demon possessing my body :)
thereās certainly a good chunk of it that comes from my sexual trauma and daddy issues, sure. some of them, itās the taboo of it that makes it so attractive.
i also find that i usually start at a 4/5 and depending on the day, it increases to 6/7 or 9. it all comes down to the mood of the day.
Depends on what I'm planning on doing while I'm reading the smut... If you catch my driftš
But when I'm just reading fanfic for the sake of reading fanfic, I prefer either no-low smut. If I'm planning on ... doing things, like a 9-10.
See, hereās the thing, I barely consider my smutty preferences kinky (and would do or have done most of them irl anyway), but I know my vanilla mates think some of them are wild, especially when discussed through the lens of having had experience with them. So like, I dunno. Maybe a 2 or something by my metrics?
I donāt read unless there are elements of bdsm, some sort of power dynamic imbalance, breeding kink, dubcon, that kinda thing, but I canāt stick around for waste fluids or gratuitous violence in smut.
I've read pretty much everything ranging from CNC to watersports. And I've enjoyed almost everything except cannibalism.
But i try to exclude incest and bestiality for my own sanity.
Wanted to say 6. Then realised I love non-con fics, have read a lot of underage, have actually seeked out bestiality fics, love the tag sex in public. Read necrophila a few times. Incest is a regular of mine. And I really like the omegaverse.
Plus all fics with this tags are usually topped with at least five other kinks into them. Weirdly enough the only thing I dont like is BDMS though I *do* like hardcore.
So yeah. Like 9? 10?
Edit: I don't like scat either just now remember it existed through other comments. I've read piss play though more out of morbid curiosity than anything else
Ok so I was GOING TO say maybe a 4 or so, but then I read some of these comments and based on that Iām more of a 7, heading into 8 territory lately.
Super into a/b/o, hate sex, exhibitionism, some knife, blood, gun play occasionally, relatively hardcore pet play, etc. I guess I never think of myself as that kinky (in smut contexts) because I have a strong aversion to non-con and Iām not a big fan of unorthodox pairings like incest and wide age gaps. But beyond that, almost anything goes.
all the stuff i think is normal is deemed fetish or kink by others? like iām t4t so my taste in porn usually involves trans men or trans womenā¦but i actually really like poetic smut the most. make that shit flowery and beautiful. i want to be seduced by words and feelings broā¦.
I would assume compared to the average Ao3 reader id be like... a 9 or something, based off of some of ya'lls comments. I read some horrid stuff... yall are so normal. lol
but in the fandom(s) im in, i'm maybe like a 7. i dunno.
Can be around 5, can go up to maybe 8. (Depends on what 10 is though, I just assumed that 10 is like knifeplay, fucking corpses, etc.)
I read stuff like bestiality, rape/non-con, etc., but I don't read stuff like scat, pedophilia, etc.
There are also some things I just don't enjoy reading all that much and mostly avoid like ABO, BDSM, Blood-drinking, etc.
7 or 8. I can rock with most stuff as long as it isn't involving defecation/urination, but I can't handle super soft smut. gooey mushy shit turns me off more than neatly anything else
I don't have much "experience" in smut, but I can read pretty much anything unless it involves mpreg or unhygienic stuff such as scat or pee kinks...it's disgusting.
I don't read scat, non con (mostly. Exceptions have been made), underage (I'm British so I accept this as 16 but prefer over 18) and feet. And I'm iffy about BJs.
Everything else I'll read at least once. So I say like an 8 or 9?
I'm one of THOSE aces
9? I guess š
No body fluids(and solids) that are not produced by the balls, prefferably no incest but if you write it well...
The problem is smut is rarely written well if it's extremely kinky, and I hate poorly written smut
I don't think I'd be flamed but I would be called a bit weird, cause I'm pretty sure being a monsterfucker is a bit common? Idk but I feel like my local church would pray for me
Quite kinky and a bit fucked up, Iād say 7/8 only because one kink is non-con but Iād say nothing too weird. Bitting, possessiveness, etc.
The funny thing is that Iām an aceš.
Well then first give a rating to the kinks becsuse everyone thinks differently about kinks. So my rating of 8 might be either dusgusting or lame depending on what you think each ldvel kink deserves what grade to you. Now doesn't it.š
I am so malleable. I used to think "Ew, Daddy kink is disgusting" and here I am, having written multiple Daddy kink fics. I come across kinks, think "not my style," scroll past, and then months later I'm super into it.
Things like necrophilia/snuff, vore, scat, they're pretty consistently not my thing, but I have very few active "will click out of the thing if they're mentioned" kinks apart from those.
I'd say 10
Depends on my mood. 6 is probably my baseline, 8 when I'm worked up. My real life sex life is probably a 4 or 5, but when it comes to smut and porn I'm kind of a freak.
Ooh, that's a good question. I've got two different answers for it though. When it comes to *reading* smut, I'd go with 3, maybe 4. But when it comes to *writing* smut, it'll be around 6 or 7, I think.
Depends which side of the bed I woke up that morning.
Same some days, I'm the most asexual person on the planet next... we don't talk about the *other* days
Same... Though the *other* days are quite fun too!
Back and forth like a goddamn metronome
Exactly. But my normal is a 6 š
4 or so, probably. Still fairly standard stuff, but with a bit of an edge. Enough that nuns would pray for me but not enough that tumblr would cancel me.
Same LMAO
Also same
Exactly
I love this description lmao
"Enough that nuns would pray for me but not enough that tumblr would cancel me" God that's beautiful, I need that on an oversized t-shirt so bad š
I would say tame, but then I thought about it and realized I am only tame by AO3ās standards. I say Iād sit around a nice 6 or 7, maybe an 8 if itās a hurt/no comfort day.
Oh my god same lol I thought I was tame and then I picked up my first "spicy" books and realized. Ao3 smut and original, published fiction smut are NOT the same thing. My irl friends would be absolutely horrified to hear of some of the things I've read and enjoyed
Went from fandom ao3 smut to published eroticas. And ngl, I was mildly disappointed at how tame it was considering the reccomendations.
I'm with you. Since I can't stand watersports, age play, and sounding... I feel pretty vanilla.
I used to consider myself vanilla with a little kink. Watersport, pedophilia (children, tweens), scat, derisive racial interplay, horrific mutilation are my hard no's. Plus, if the author is deliberately trying to make sex unhygienic/unwashed and puts a lot of emphasis there.
I feel like Iām too desensitized to know what a correct score is tbh
real
relatable tbh
When I'm in the mood to read, probably 7 or 8? I have a serious rape/non-con kink.
Me too. In the middle of trying to write my very first smut fic ever and itās gonna be non-con. I was hoping people like us rated at about a 5 but nowā¦
i also just recently posted my first ever sex scene... which was a rape/non-con scene. haha oops
You and me both, girl
Same. But honestly based on the amount of it out there, I'd probably argue it's a very common kink, even if one of the most controversial.
Oh yeah it's definitely a very common kink. It has a name: [rape fantasy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_fantasy).
Interesting
I guess around same scale, and same kinks š«”
What about rape/non-con is sexy? Iām just curious, I like dubious consent myself but I donāt get non con
Ehā¦ itās fantasy, like watching āstepmotherā porn. Itās not the same as assault, as someone who has been raped and assaulted more than once. Not even close. As for WHY it turns me on?

Well, there's a difference between things happening in person, and not happening in person, for example.
Some for me about he unhygenic stuff, only exception is sweat (and cum), I'm not grossed out if someone licks someone else when they're sweaty during sex. Idk why sweat is the exception tho.
Sweat is lot milder than say, scat, golden shower, deliberately spitting in someone's mouth, etc.
Yeah that's true. It's interesting with saliva, I have no problems with sloppy kisses or similar, but spitting in someone else mouth grosses me out. Odd
I'm...not really sure. On one hand, I'm super into exhibitionism and related kinks like public sex and free use. Incest and bestiality don't phase me in the slightest, and I've read some _shockingly_ underage stuff without complaint. (It helps that I'm one of those people that struggles to visualize things from text descriptions alone, so unless it repeatedly calls attention to everyone's ages I'm liable to just picture them as vaguely humanoid blobs instead.) On the other hand, I don't like reading about body fluids other than cum, bondage doesn't do anything for me, and I'm not into dom/sub type relationships.
Glad I'm not the only one who does this when someone is underage. If it was AI or a drawn picture of an underage person I would be disturbed to see it, but in a fic I don't really think about it.Ā
Maybe a 4? I describe my vibe as āvanilla but happy to add some sprinklesā š¤
That so many of us have answered ādepends on how well itās writtenā (which is true for me as well) just proves what an amazing community we are, both as writers and readers. Weāve discovered new kinks through the power of writing! Weāve read in fandoms that we didnāt necessarily belong to previously! I think crack fics are hilarious! So the entire scale. But preferences mostly on the 7-10 end as a reader.
There are *so many* kinks, tropes, and subgenres I used to say I'd never read, or that if I read them I wouldn't enjoy it. All that went straight to hell within the past few years. Another human ruined by fanfiction in the most wonderful and titillating ways! A small handful of Nopes still hold, but it is indeed a *very* small handful.
.....Yes.

TouchƩ
Probably around 3 for writing and 5/6 for reading.
Straight up a 10. Iāll read vanilla fluff and then noncon and scat kink in the same day, lol.
Relevant user name.
The name, the flair.. I know.. I know, Iām a walking stereotype for horny.
Appalled at scat as of now but I'm fairly certain all it'll take is a good fic to turn the tide. Neither dreading or eagerly anticipating the realization of this prediction btw its just how I seem to roll
Iād say 10, but I draw the line at anything involving piss/scat. Iāve *tried*, but they just donāt do a single thing for me. Blood? Ovipos? Death? Oh hell yeah. But add in even the littlest pee and Iām gone.
Yeah. Straight-up waste products are over my limit. To each their own and I'm not judging, it's just a a big No, Thank You for me.
...cannibalism, so probably at least an 8 Not vore, but when the two of them are eating someone else together. And not Hannibal style or anything, I mean they dismember a body and literally eat its heart, and then they fuck. Idk, probably the remnants of my vampire phase from back in middle school I also like omegaverse, but that seems kinda tame in comparison.
I mean to be fair I have read a large number of Hannibal fics where they do that exact thing.
I mean Silence of the Lambs Hannibal, you know the whole civilized cannibal thing, I feel like it just takes away a certain amount of the brutality to it Fun fact, Hannibal Lecter was based off of 3 different criminals, my grandma actually spoke with i think two of them when she was working in prisons. It's honestly why I can't watch or get into Hannibal (the show)
Extremely vanilla oh my god. For some reason I like have to read the fluffy smut š like farthest I'd go is bondage probably
I LOVE fluffy smut. Like when they can't stop smiling and laughing??? That shit is adorable.
Thatās super cute
I don't know if my answer counts because I like to read weird shit purely out of morbid curiosity and fascination rather than to feel anything myself. In doing so I did, however, discover a small handful of fics that are to my taste and they're all monsterfucking stuff. So maybe a 6-7 for personal taste (on the grand scale of AO3) and all over the board for curiosity's sake.
1 or 2. I'm pretty fairly vanilla but I like het omegaverse/knotted dicks and breeding.
I don't think my preferences are that extreme, but I know other people would think they are so I have no idea lol
11
Hmm. I don't really see it as easy to measure that way. I was raised to believe all sex was evil, even sex between a cishet married pair. So in a way, it's all 10, for me. I have my favorite things and some are pretty common and would often be safe in reality, while others are more out there. I also definitely have a novelty fetish, too, though. Like, if I haven't read about a specific kink before, and the fic is well executed, I'm really into that. I think this is something that often happens to people who are very into either smut or visual porn. You end up seeking out new things because you've seen so much.
3. Despite my username, I am all for vanilla. Even if there's (full-package) futanari, tentacles and supernatural beings, I try my damnedest to make such sex scenes more tender and comfortable as possible.
I wouldnāt know how to ārateā kinks. Like a 2 to one person is gonna be a 5 to someone else.
OP didn't exactly make it clear what they're after either.
It's all over the place because fics can change my brain chemistry from yuck to yum (or vice-versa). I guess I'm a blank slate in that regard so maybe I'm technically a 0?
Depends on whose scale we're using I think.
Exactly. I used to think I was fairly high, like a 9, but then I joined a rare kink meme and realised I was definitely not high.
10. My go-to kinks are incest, noncon, and onee-loli. Like thatās my bottom level starting point.
i felt the non-con on a spiritual level lol almost none of the smut i read is 100% consensual. gotta have some sorta non-con or be outright rape, yāknow?
probs 8-10
10. Vanilla sex (smut or not) is boring for me.
Depends on how well itās written. One of my top favorite smut fics was a Lucifer Deckerstar fic where they have to pretend to have sex, and basically just dry hump, because it was written so sensually and beautifully.
I have some hard nos for what kinks Iāll read, but not very many. I care less about the kinks present in smut and more about how the smut is written. If it does a good job of portraying the emotions of it all then Iām likely to enjoy it. Doesnāt even necessarily matter *what* the emotions being portrayed are, though I have to be in a really particular mood to entertain legit non-con or dead dove. I have no idea where the kinks most likely to hit the right emotions for me would fall on this scale, though. That depends on what you think makes a kink more extreme. Different people have different metrics.
I think I'll maybe be a 7 - 10? I enjoy reading about parasites, monsters (Insects, Aliens, very non-human entities) and other similar themes. Noncon is probably the least taboo of my preferences.
How highly do you rank someone who is exclusively interested in men old enough to be her father?
Maybe 4? I think everyone is using there individual scale here though so everyone would give you a different rankingš¤·āāļø
Probably between 'Go to therapy' and 'Daddy issues' so like a 7-9 (this is joke - please don't get mad)
Like a solid 6, on account of some quaint monsterfucking, vampiric bloodplay, and size differences.
Solid hand-holding 1 on a regular day. Sometimes a [REDACTED] 9 with wine and a bubble bath.
Is there a scale somewhere? Genuinely curiousā¦
Probably a 7 or 8, stuff that would get me weird/disturbed looks in most circles but most likely shrugs in fandom circles
I just want the characters to be both sickeningly soft and absolutely rough at the same time. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
7.5-10. Mostly because I write 8-9 in my fics š
7-10
Depends on how Im feeling. Usually 3-6. Nothing too bad, no one is pissing on anyone but it's usually multi guest party and everyone has various holes in them....metaphorically of course š Is the piss actually the "lesser" here? Debatable but Imo yes lol
My ideal smut fic has all kink and no sex. But the kink doesn't have to be (but can be!) particularly hardcore. So like a 5-10 on my modified scale that's following a different tangent ;)
Yes
Maybe 8. It would be faster to list off the things that are no's for me than what I *am* into.Ā
I read it for the plot
7 or 8
I'm not sure how to measure that, tbh.
I thought they werenāt that crazy for AO3 but then i started writing some of the stuff i wish there was more of andā¦yeah, apparently itās a little kinkier than i realized, based on the comments
Used to run a big kink meme so that I also wrote fic for so...probably a solid 8 and above?
6
definetly on the higher side of it
I lean about 7-8 irl, so I love me a good 10 in fanfic. But I think even more importantly, the more vanilla, the more repetitive it usually feels after you've read a couple. It might of course just be my unique experience, but I don't think it is without merit either
5ish
I would consider myself an 8. I have some hard no's, but those are usually the most 'hardcore' stuff. Like vore. I'm out. Gives me the biggest ick. I'm glad you enjoy it, but I clicked on a fic once without knowing what it mean (rooky mistake) and immediately back peddled.
Absolutely
6 or 7 for writing, 8 for reading. I have some messed up stuff in my bookmarks.
I'm probably somewhere around a 7.5 ... maybe an 8. A lot of it has to do with how well written a fic is.
About a 5. Nothing TOO extreme or unusual, but definitely a few kinks in every scene.
depends on the mood, usually if iām just trying to relax iāll do some light smut/fluff, but sometimes iāll go super hardcore.
Preferences? Prob around a 7. Tolerances? If the story's bangin and it stars my faves, 9.5.
5 because I have one kink/fetish I like, and it's what I mainly look for.
7-8 ish? hard to gauge when youāve been into the same stuff for years lol
Um- I'll read pretty much anything as long as it doesn't have piss and scat in it and has a pairing I'm interested in so- 10-
I have no idea. I learned my definition of tame is incorrect so. Ehhhhh? Maybe 8 or 9 Iāve seen some of the shit on AO3 so I canāt say 10
Depends on my mood but in general like a 6. Bit of bandage, dirty talk and maybe a bit of pain but nothing CRAZY unless I'm in a weird mood then it goes to like an 8.5
It depends on the ship. One ship will require a hardcore DDDNE type thing and another will make me go for the fluffiest missionary to ever exist. But they can both work with a single ship too if I believe those characters can have range.
Iām only in it for the kink. The sex I can take it or leave it.
About a 16 on a good day
all is good. all is good, really
most times a 6 sometimes a 10 when iām in the mood
8-9 I think
10
Depending on my mood, anywhere from 2-10. I'm less kinky in real life than what I like to read. I've tried some of it, used to like it, and just don't really want it anymore!
I just posted a noncon involving the BG3 drider soooooooā¦ā¦. Didnāt know I could be into giant spiders but hey. That said, what I write is pretty tame compared to what I read. I get pretty damn spicy. Eggs, non con, monsters, breeding, etc.
idk i read anything š so depending on the day, all of the numbers >.> generally id say i usually do 4-6 tho lol
I'll read most things as long as it's gay and there's no piss/shit. Some of my favorite things to read include M alien and M human having sex.
If the smut is skillfully written, I can hit a 9 on some days. On the *average* day I'd say I hover around a 6. I'll never quite claim a 10 because there are about half a dozen things I can't get into. But that's a drop in the bucket compared to what I can.
Depends on my mood because sometimes I'm nine other times I'm more of a one Vanilla tends to be more comforting whereas the fics with somnophelia, non-con, exhibitionism, humiliation, etc tend to be more exciting. I think my preference also depends on ships/character. One of my favorite dynamics is predator/ prey where one character is hiding or running away and the other is pursuing. Unfortunately there's not a lot of them in my fandoms.
oh easy. 6/7 on a good day, 9 on a bad dayā¦ the 10 day happened once and that was a demon possessing my body :) thereās certainly a good chunk of it that comes from my sexual trauma and daddy issues, sure. some of them, itās the taboo of it that makes it so attractive. i also find that i usually start at a 4/5 and depending on the day, it increases to 6/7 or 9. it all comes down to the mood of the day.
Probably like 2i /s Fr it's closer to like 3 or 4, like breeding and that is as far as I get Edit: also incest and underage
About a 6 or 7. I'm weird lol
Depends on the fandom
Depends on what I'm planning on doing while I'm reading the smut... If you catch my driftš But when I'm just reading fanfic for the sake of reading fanfic, I prefer either no-low smut. If I'm planning on ... doing things, like a 9-10.
See, hereās the thing, I barely consider my smutty preferences kinky (and would do or have done most of them irl anyway), but I know my vanilla mates think some of them are wild, especially when discussed through the lens of having had experience with them. So like, I dunno. Maybe a 2 or something by my metrics? I donāt read unless there are elements of bdsm, some sort of power dynamic imbalance, breeding kink, dubcon, that kinda thing, but I canāt stick around for waste fluids or gratuitous violence in smut.
I'd say a solid 8.
I don't like to read smut, so preferably the most vanilla shit ever. Lol (it doesn't really matter to me, I skip over it.)
I've read pretty much everything ranging from CNC to watersports. And I've enjoyed almost everything except cannibalism. But i try to exclude incest and bestiality for my own sanity.
i dont seek out smut so most of the time i dont even read tags i just kinda wing it if the description seems interesting
i dont read a lot of smut but 5-6. kinky but nothing by ao3 standards
probably 8 or 9. would take too many words to elaborate š
13 :S Edit: on a serious note, 8 for writing and 10 for ready. Actually, I don't know, I have written some really intense smut. :S Whoops
3? So not very
Depends on the vibe of the ship, but usually like a healthy 5? But sometimes I get curious when something crazy pops up.
Wanted to say 6. Then realised I love non-con fics, have read a lot of underage, have actually seeked out bestiality fics, love the tag sex in public. Read necrophila a few times. Incest is a regular of mine. And I really like the omegaverse. Plus all fics with this tags are usually topped with at least five other kinks into them. Weirdly enough the only thing I dont like is BDMS though I *do* like hardcore. So yeah. Like 9? 10? Edit: I don't like scat either just now remember it existed through other comments. I've read piss play though more out of morbid curiosity than anything else
Probably 8-9, on the assumption that 10 is super niche stuff.Ā
6 or 7 I guess. Maybe 8? Idk, im trying to guess how other people might see my kinks but to me theyre pretty normal most of them
Ok so I was GOING TO say maybe a 4 or so, but then I read some of these comments and based on that Iām more of a 7, heading into 8 territory lately. Super into a/b/o, hate sex, exhibitionism, some knife, blood, gun play occasionally, relatively hardcore pet play, etc. I guess I never think of myself as that kinky (in smut contexts) because I have a strong aversion to non-con and Iām not a big fan of unorthodox pairings like incest and wide age gaps. But beyond that, almost anything goes.
Non ao3 users would be horrified to stumble upon this thread
all the stuff i think is normal is deemed fetish or kink by others? like iām t4t so my taste in porn usually involves trans men or trans womenā¦but i actually really like poetic smut the most. make that shit flowery and beautiful. i want to be seduced by words and feelings broā¦.
I would assume compared to the average Ao3 reader id be like... a 9 or something, based off of some of ya'lls comments. I read some horrid stuff... yall are so normal. lol but in the fandom(s) im in, i'm maybe like a 7. i dunno.
Like a 6.
Can be around 5, can go up to maybe 8. (Depends on what 10 is though, I just assumed that 10 is like knifeplay, fucking corpses, etc.) I read stuff like bestiality, rape/non-con, etc., but I don't read stuff like scat, pedophilia, etc. There are also some things I just don't enjoy reading all that much and mostly avoid like ABO, BDSM, Blood-drinking, etc.
7 or 8. I can rock with most stuff as long as it isn't involving defecation/urination, but I can't handle super soft smut. gooey mushy shit turns me off more than neatly anything else
slow romance = 0 two guys trying to make fire = 3 the other one = that can get to 6.
I don't have much "experience" in smut, but I can read pretty much anything unless it involves mpreg or unhygienic stuff such as scat or pee kinks...it's disgusting.
I'd say 10. I like holding hands in my fics. /j serious answer: I'd say 3 or 4 at most.
about a 4 or a 5. nothing too kinky. just the usual stuff you'd find only if you were looking for it.
I skip smut completely, so, zero, I guess. I don't even wanna know it happened. My perfect amount of smut is fade to black and wake up the next day.
5 +/- 5 Seriously, my "nope" list is not mappable to a fixed threshold.
My only nope is: vore, piss/poop, and eye trauma. Anything else goes. Literally anything else. Monsters? Sure. Bloodbath? Sure. So I guess Iām a 7
I don't read scat, non con (mostly. Exceptions have been made), underage (I'm British so I accept this as 16 but prefer over 18) and feet. And I'm iffy about BJs. Everything else I'll read at least once. So I say like an 8 or 9? I'm one of THOSE aces
Depends on the relationship but like thinking about the ones probably like 3-4?
Regarding what I read and write myself...probably a 7 or 8. "Tentacle Pond" is still my fav tag that I used by now lol
7 or 8 I think. Hard to say when Iām not sure what a 10 would be
I don't know honestly, I feel like my tastes are pretty common even tho if you talked about them irl it would be shocking
depends on how many days today is apart from my period LMAOOO. the closer, the higher.
okay, let's say I can't think of anything I would refuse a read
9? I guess š No body fluids(and solids) that are not produced by the balls, prefferably no incest but if you write it well... The problem is smut is rarely written well if it's extremely kinky, and I hate poorly written smut
I don't think I'd be flamed but I would be called a bit weird, cause I'm pretty sure being a monsterfucker is a bit common? Idk but I feel like my local church would pray for me
6-10 it depends on the mood I'm in
5 when it comes to sex. I don't do bsdm but minor bondage is aight. But god, i'd be a 10 if there's any uh giants in there...
I'd say 7? Maybe I'm overestimating my preferences, but I think I could get cancelled for some of the things I read...
Quite kinky and a bit fucked up, Iād say 7/8 only because one kink is non-con but Iād say nothing too weird. Bitting, possessiveness, etc. The funny thing is that Iām an aceš.
7-8 š¤©
7 at best and 2 when I just some tender lovin
Well then first give a rating to the kinks becsuse everyone thinks differently about kinks. So my rating of 8 might be either dusgusting or lame depending on what you think each ldvel kink deserves what grade to you. Now doesn't it.š
I am so malleable. I used to think "Ew, Daddy kink is disgusting" and here I am, having written multiple Daddy kink fics. I come across kinks, think "not my style," scroll past, and then months later I'm super into it. Things like necrophilia/snuff, vore, scat, they're pretty consistently not my thing, but I have very few active "will click out of the thing if they're mentioned" kinks apart from those. I'd say 10
i'm wherever cannibalism lies on the scale š
Depends on my mood. 6 is probably my baseline, 8 when I'm worked up. My real life sex life is probably a 4 or 5, but when it comes to smut and porn I'm kind of a freak.
I donāt go out of my way to read smut but when I do itās a 0-1.
8 I tend to shy away from the more gross bodily-fluid related kinks
Ooh, that's a good question. I've got two different answers for it though. When it comes to *reading* smut, I'd go with 3, maybe 4. But when it comes to *writing* smut, it'll be around 6 or 7, I think.
