'Millions of women' are into this bedroom kink but most men still haven’t figured it out

This is certainly one kink that the majority of us could get on board with - depending on how you like your, well... you know

There are many ways to get freaky in the bedroom and often people like to take things to the extreme. Whether we like to admit it or not - we've all got our kinks.

The best way to discover what you and your partner are into is to simply just talk about it - although I'm not sure this specific turn-on will come to mind.

Yes, 'millions of women' are supposedly into one kink in particular - and after learning about it, I'm sure many of you will want to incorporate it into the bedroom.

Fetishes vary from the relatively innocuous all the way to those that require an entire warehouse's worth of specialist equipment.

Some even go beyond the bedroom and can become a fundamental part of someone's life, with whole communities forming around them... you know what I mean.

The turn-on that 'millions of women' are said to be into is simply a 'praise kink'.

What is a praise kink?

It basically does what it says on the tin, a praise kink is when someone gets turned on by receiving compliments and praise.

As per Glamour, Jennifer Rehor, a licensed marriage and therapist, explained: “Praise kink allows someone to explicitly ask for the kinds of positive reinforcement that they crave, in order to feel desire, desired, erotic, sensual, sexual, and/or aroused.”

Wouldn't it be nice to hear how smart, funny and hard-working you are while you're... never mind.

After seeing the kink go viral online many were in agreement, with one social media user saying: “I can assure you that most romance book girls would likely have this kink!”

While another wrote: “I told him. He does it more now. Best day ever!”

However, apparently this particular 'perversion', if you could call it that, is well-known.

One user added: “Well well well, the vanilla community is just finding out about small kinks that the kinky community has known all along.”

In a video on TikTok, expert Dr Nicole K. McNichols explained: “People who have praise kinks get turned on by their partner complimenting them.

“Praise kink exists on a continuum of course, because, I mean, who doesn’t love being told that they’re beautiful or hot or amazing in some way?”

So, while it could just be compliments, it could also be affirming someone. For example, using phrases like 'you're doing a great job', 'you're so good at that', and 'I'm so proud of you'.

The idea is that it helps someone to feel safe and appreciated in their relationship.

It's not clear why people develop a praise kink in particular as it could be due to any number of reasons.

But now you know and, as always, remember communication is key!
