Lexies Kink Rating System (LKRS)

Lexies Kink Rating System
(LKRS; "lickers")

Version 1.0.0-beta2



INTENTION

To have a uniform, clearly defined, and comparable way to describe kinks in a technical way and on a meta level.



USAGE

- evaluate safety of a practice
- evaluate safety of a session
- describe a session
- state desires ("I like those")
- state limits ("these are no-gos under any circumstances")

Note: The current version is focusing on sadistic, masochistic, degradation, and bondage elements.



WARNING!

This is not a guide how and what to practice!
These things herein are not recommendations!
This does NOT state safety, that assessment is made by you.
Use at your own risk!
Be truly and deeply honest with yourself when doing an assessment. Especially safety and how it affects all involved people!
