Primal play is about getting back to your most primal self, so it often doesn’t involve the use of sex toys or uses toys that feel more “natural.” For example, a rattan cane could.

The Pros and Cons of Primal Sex

The biggest pro to primal sex might just be that it helps get you out of your head and be in the moment. Instead of relying on your higher thinking and bowing down to expectations of how you should act or what sex should look like, you let go and do whatever feels natural.

Pro: Honesty and Catharsis

Some people view it as cathartic, and the physical and mental pleasure from primal kink can be intense! Some describe it as “honest sex” or “raw sex.”

Pro: It Helps You To Let Go & Be Vulnerable

If you’re used to being more reserved or playing by the rules, primal play can feel a bit unnatural in the beginning. It can take some time to get used to doing things differently in the bedroom. But..

Once you do let go and embrace your primal instincts during sex, it can allow you to be genuinely vulnerable with your partner.

Intense Squirting: You can learn how to squirt effortlessly and with intense pleasure if you use the right techniques.

Of course, not everyone is ready to be so vulnerable or honest with their partners, or even themselves, to truly let go and enjoy primal sex.

Con: Injury

Injury is a risk of primal play, especially if you do a lot of wrestling and rougher sex. If you’re not very physically fit, you might be more likely to get hurt.

Con: “Drop”

Primal play can lead to “drop” after you finish. You need to anticipate it. Drop, which can happen when you’re dominant or submissive, doesn’t have to prevent you from getting kinky.

Keeping Your Primal Kink Safe

Some people consider primal kink to be a type of edge play because it can push your boundaries and involve aggression and activities that are typically associated with fear. You want to ensure you keep your primal play kink safe.

Consent and Negotiation

Obviously, consent comes first. Explicit, verbal consent is the gold standard, and you can even create a BDSM contract as a tool for giving consent and negotiating your kink.

Talk dirty confidently: It's surprisingly easy to turn a man on and have him lusting for you, by using a few simple dirty phrases. You'll find these dirty phrases in the Wild Dirty Talk Guide. You'll also learn how to confidently say them.

Talking about it beforehand can ease or prevent sexual anxiety and fear that someone might experience if you don’t give them a heads-up.

It’s crucial to talk about what’s okay before jumping into primal play if you don’t plan to talk much (or at all) during your scene. You can also take this time to talk about your hard and soft limits, the things you’ll never do, and those you may only do in certain situations.

Boundaries are essential, but they can be more important if either of you has experienced assault.

Preparation

Remove anything sharp or breakable, especially if you plan to chase or wrestle each other.

Consider soft materials for the surfaces or floors, so someone falling or being tackled doesn’t seriously hurt themselves.

You can even stretch beforehand.

Communicate During the Scene

Primal play usually focuses less on talking. Pay attention to nonverbal signs that your partner’s not interested, such as pulling away, pushing away, or fear or discomfort on their face. But these things can sometimes be part of your role play, too.

Of course, you can always use a safe word to stop or pause play. Safe words make it clear that you’re not acting out your role and need things to stop.

Important – Because primal play can send your body into fight-or-flight mode, someone might struggle to react safely or even use their safe word, so paying attention becomes even more critical.

After Your Primal Kink Scene

Once the scene has ended, you may need to move to aftercare. Aftercare is anything you need to recover from a kinky session and return to equilibrium.

When it comes to primal play, you may need extra attention to physical injuries, such as bites (tips for biting during sex), impact (impact play tips), scratches, or even more serious bruises and strains. Helpful items can include:

a First Aid Kit, including pain killers or antibiotic cream (Never use painkillers during sex, pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong). Spanking balm Ice or heat packs

Afterplay can also include eating, drinking, cuddling, napping, or bathing. It’s really personal, so you need to figure out what works for you.

You may take this opportunity to talk about what you liked or things you want to do differently. Our guide on effective sexual communication should help. However, if the scene was intense and/or leads to sub or top drop, you might wait until you’re in a calmer and more refreshed state before having these conversations.

By prioritizing consent, safety, communication, and aftercare, you can enjoy primal play in a healthy way and rest assured it’s far from abuse.

Primal Play Roles

Power exchange (and even total power exchange) is frequently a component of primal play, like in other BDSM scenes. Several dynamic styles or archetypes are widespread in the primal fetish.

Predator and Prey

The predator, or hunter, is on the hunt for their prey. The predator might identify with a specific animal, such as a wolf or lion, while the prey may have a persona, such as a deer. Others view themselves as a more primal version of themselves or even a more primal human.

These scenes can involve the predator chasing the prey around the bedroom, house, or even outside. It’s up to you what you do with your prey once you catch them!

Hunter and Maiden

Some people don’t like the connotations of the label ‘predator,’ so they think of themselves as hunters, instead. Their partners can still be prey, or they can play the role of a fair maiden or another role.

The hunter role may work well with bondage, especially ropes, once your catch is successful.

Feral

In a primal setting, "feral" can denote someone who struggles to control urges, or positively, one who acts on pure instinct.

Sensualist

A primal sensualist is someone who is fueled by their animalistic energy and by the desire to embrace all their senses.

For many, primal play is fluid, suiting switches. Power shifts happen instantly, like wrestling for control. If dominance/submission or protocol are key, primal play might need some adjustments.

Getting Into Primal Play

Some people recommend exploring primal play by yourself before getting into it with a partner. Use your solo sessions to be as uninhibited as you want.

You might experiment with things you can do to get into the headspace, from listening to nature sounds to making animalistic faces in the mirror.

Listen to your body – Primal play involves being highly attuned with your body, so mindfulness exercises such as listening to a guided meditation can help.

Your senses can play an essential role during primal play, and you can change your environment to prepare for your primal scene.

Quick Warning: This tutorial video will teach you how to make your girl collapse with unending pleasure and become sexually addicted to you.

Temperature – hot like a jungle or cold like a cave. Light – intense, indirect, warm or cool, candles. Sight – create your primal area with screens or curtains.

Sound – use music or nature sounds. Touch – choose natural materials such as jute, faux fur, leather, wool, or linen. Smell – use plants, incense, or ozone.

Focusing on your breathing is another tip, and also something you can do with a partner, similar to sharing breath during tantric sex.

Another option for getting into the headspace includes sitting in front of your partner with your hands pressed together. Try to feel their pulse.

Below are some examples of behaviors or interactions that you might do or see in primal play. Many of them help you let go completely and unleash your wild side.

Primal play includes various forms of dominance and submission, animalistic behaviors, rituals, and power dynamics. It can involve physical, mental, and emotional elements, creating a unique and intense experience.

Other activities you might see in primal play include dancing, sharing food, and tickling.

Primal play can happen in a variety of settings. You may be limited to the bedroom, but taking primal play outside in nature can make your role play feel more real.

Similar and Overlapping Kinks

There’s plenty of overlap between primal sex and certain BDSM activities. Rough sex and primal play also have a lot in common.

Pet Play

There can be overlap between pet play and primal play, especially for the animal who has a pet persona. The more “wild” the persona, the closer it gets to primal.

Pet play differs from primal play.

Primal play typically involves both partners getting into the primal headspace. Pet play involves an owner or trainer with the pet. Pet play can also include costumes or accessories that are uncommon in primal play.

However…

The pet can check out of their human responsibilities and tap into their more animalistic side when in character. Putting on one’s pet gear, such as a collar or hood, can even transport them into a more primal headspace. Consider one pup who describes their experience being a pup [1]:

Speaking of pet play, some people like a particular type called pony play.

Like primal play, rough sex can involve grappling, biting, hitting, and other more animalistic behaviors. But while rough sex focuses on sex, primal play may not be explicitly sexual.

Speaking of pet play, some people like a particular type called pony play.

Like primal play, rough sex can involve grappling, biting, hitting, and other more animalistic behaviors. But while rough sex focuses on sex, primal play may not be explicitly sexual.

Rough sex doesn’t have to involve growling, wrestling, or fighting for power like primal kink often does.

Consensual Non-consent

Consensual nonconsent, or CNC, is a type of kinky play where explicit consent isn’t given in the moment. Typically, consent is given beforehand, which is understood by everyone involved, and can be revoked.

Although sometimes used interchangeably with forced sex or “rape play,” consensual nonconsent can take various forms. For example, CNC can look like sexual activity with a sleeping partner or a partner who is drunk or high, all situations where your partner cannot consent because of their state.

The overlap between primal play and CNC comes with taking a partner forcefully. They may be surprised or “fight back,” even though it’s previously agreed upon, and they can use a safe word or non-verbal signal to pause or stop play if needed. But as a primal, you may feel overcome with the need or sexual desire to take your partner.

Now that you know what primal play means, you might want to give it a try, realize it’s a better fit than a D/s relationship, or recognize that it’s what you’ve been doing all along!

Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...

I want to tell you about my friend Karen.

Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.

She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.

Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.

In fact...

She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!

This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And...

She completely hid this from her husband. Thankfully...

It turns out that there is a way for any woman to orgasm. Easily. And have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation.

I shared the process with Karen.

After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...

Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.

We met up a few months later and...

She would not stop talking about it,

“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”

Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or when masturbating, this process will also work for you.

And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.
