In the Birdtale and Birdswap universes, enjoying having their wings touched during intimacy is too common to really be considered a kink! Wings are considered to be representative of a monster’s self, in a similar (but much less weighty) way to a monster’s soul, so intimately touching a partners wings is significant, on par with kissing for the first time. Hookups and one-night-stands typically avoid the wings, unless it’s previously agreed upon.

Wings being integral in the bedroom so common that it’s just part of the whole experience for most monsters, although there are some kinks in those universes that revolve around a monsters wings, such as:

-Having their wings secured/tied up. This could be classic bondage with something like rope or via the less common feather “pinning” in which a monster’s wings are spread flat to allow their outermost feathers to be tacked down. This both restricts their movements and leaves the underside of their wings wide open for a partner to play with. This is a rare one though, and many monsters would hate the thought of it.

-Allowing a partner to clip their flight feathers. This is a form of control play, as having clipped wings is very rare and considered cruel/demeaning even though it doesn’t actually cause pain. This particular kink is considered extreme/indecent if the monster goes out in public with clipped feathers. It’s also possible to just trim a few of the feathers, which can be easily hidden.

-Plucking. This is pain play, which also feeds into the concept of letting a partner take their their ability to fly, which you’ll notice is a common theme for fantasies in bird-variant universes. Of course, plenty of monster enjoy being the one pulling the feathers.

-Preening. This isn’t always a kink, as many bird monsters have the instinct to keep their partner tidy and well-kempt in general, but some monsters are just really into it. A non-monster (or just non-winged) s/o learning to preen their lover’s feathers can be a real turn on for the bird monster in question! Helping out with hard-to-reach pin feathers can be quite intimate.

Now, as far as specifics for my Birdtale and Birdswap monsters~

Birdtale Sans- Crow is actually less into having his wings touched than most monsters. They’re still sensitive in the right context, but outside of intimacy, he doesn’t get turned on by having them touched. His axillary feathers are ticklish though! So if you want to be playful and get him to chase you there’s that.

Birdtale Papyrus- Magpie likes having his wings touched as much as any other monster, but he really likes touching a partner’s wings! This does pose a bit of a problem should he date a human or monster who doesn’t have wings… but if a non-winged partner were to buy some realistic fake wings to wear for him, he’d hardly know what to do with himself!

Birdtale Gaster- This poor guy has the most sensitive wings of the bunch. Inside feathers, outside feathers—doesn’t matter. A quick bump or brush against them is fine, but having someone stroke his feathers is a quick way to get Rook worked up. The very base of this wings—where they connect to his back—is the most sensitive and having a partner dig their fingers in between the soft, downy feathers could almost get him off on its own.

Birdtale Grillby- It’s been mentioned before that Phoenix prefers to please his partner instead of having them touch him so keep that in mind. He likes to see his partner all lit up while he gets them off, and often surrounds them with his wings to get a nice, well-lit view. There’s definitely a bit of “only I get to see you like this” intention in there too, as his wings can’t be seen through.

Birdswap Sans- Kestrel really isn’t super comfortable with his wings being touched. They’re too important to him! Everything he does, everything he is… if he had no wings who would he even be? That’s a scary thought for him. Having a partner touch his wings during sex wouldn’t be hot and heavy, it would be gentle and sweet—which is a far cry from his usual bedroom habits. It takes something significant to get Kestrel to slow down for anything, and he’ll be stock still the first time his partner really puts their hands on his wings.

Birdswap Papyrus- Rufous has wing envy, and that’s just a fact. One he tries to deny, but he has hummingbird wings! Proportionally, his wings are really small and even though no one really says anything about it, it’s always kind of in the back of his mind. All that to say: he’d be majorly turned on by a partner raving about him wings and how much they love them. He’s wants his s/o to think his wings are hot! and cool!

Birdswap Gaster- Tyto gets off on partners preening his feathers for him. His wings aren’t really any more sensitive than average, but if it’s his s/o touching them then he’s all about it. Having them mess with his flight feathers at all is a big “yes” for him, although he’d never go so far as to let them cut them—if only because he couldn’t go out in public if they did.
