I'm sure this has been done before, but I wanted to create a semi-comprehensive list of cardiophilia kinks and 'adjacent' ones I've seen or been asked about. These are based on my interests and experience here, so if you want to do it, feel free to add whatever you want.
The categories are turn-on, turn-off, and meh (not a turn-off but doesn't do anything for you). You can score yourself if you want by calculating your turn-ons as a percentage of each category. 🤓
💌I'm into 89% of dark cardiophilia, 85% of cardiophilia basics, 33% of medfet/resus, 25% of graphic cardiophilia content, and 17% of adjacent kinks.
The list is below the cut! As a final note, please don't dunk on other people's preferences--even if they're weird or gross to you--as long as they're legal and involve consenting adult humans.💓
