As requested by anon. :)

Sanderson may not go into which kinks are most popular on the various Cosmere planets, but that won't stop us! By the way, anon told me I could define "kink" however I wanted so, you know, keep that in mind.

1. S&M: Popular on Sel

I mean...their shards are "Devotion" and "Dominion."

2. Vore: Popular on Scardial

"Mmm, yeah, I'm your metal--swallow me." ~People on Scadrial, I assume.

3. Koma Sutra: Popular on Komashi

It's all about the balancing.

4. Safehand kink: Popular on Roshar

There's no way there aren't people who are DEEPLY invested in safehand play.

5. Edging: Popular on Canticle

When your society is always just outrunning the sun...

6. Bondage: Popular on Scadrial

When you have cowboys, you have ropes, is all I'm saying.

7. Breath Play: Popular on Nalthis

They're all about the Breaths.

8. Alien kink: Popular on First of the Sun

When there are alien ships always hovering over your world, some people get ideas.

9. Necrophilia: Popular on Sel

Technically, the Elantrians were zombies for a while. That leaves an impression.

10. Fire Kink: Popular on Threnody

Things that can get you killed by ghosts are inherently sexy (right?).

11. Knife Play: Popular on Threnody

When blood can get you killed by ghosts, knife play is extra sexy (right??).

12. Foot Kink: Popular on Scadrial

This is why I had to ask everyone whether Mistborn liked to be barefoot. The consensus was yes. And when dangerous, mysterious, powerful people are out there with their bare feet padding along the roof, well...

13. Piss Play: Popular on Lumar

I mean, their moons are always peeing, plus water might mean you explode and die... It's divine AND dangerous.

14. Piss Play: Popular on Taldain

When water is scarce and valuable, peeing on your partner is such a flex. I assume.

15. Piss Play: Popular on Roshar

Storms. The weeping. Water falling onto you is deeply engrained into the cultural psyche, is all I'm saying.

16. Inflation: Popular on Nalthis

What if being filled with Breaths made someone inflate in a sexy way?

17. Ice Play: Popular on Canticle

When your society is all about "sharing warmth" and "outrunning the sun," being into ice becomes a shameful kink.

18. Porn: Popular on Komashi

They have TV. They have artists. They definitely have tons of porn.

19. Voyeurism: Popular on First of the Sun

When the aliens are always above, watching, and when there are hunters who have to make sure they're hidden and not seen...well, I bet Watching and Being Watched becomes a Thing.

20. Furries: Popular on Roshar

just in case anyone was wondering what a romanced!Gale says to another PC at the party in a multiplayer session
