Is the danger a required component of kink or is it just an added benefit?

Danger isn’t required at all, nor should it be sought. SSC - Safe Sane and Consensual is a pretty common “dungeon rule”.

Most people are digging deep into emotional responses or *** responses. It’s not about the the “possibility” so much as experiencing a controlled version of an emotional situation.

Well i suppose danger may have been the wrong term. In the end it was more just something to post to have an excuse to play with my "new toy" and get to know the site. I agree with what youre saying, but the reason i chose the word "danger," albeit not accurately reflecting what i meant, is because for some of my kinks the "danger" is part of the thrill. Erotic asphyxiation can go wrong, publuc sex can land one in jail, etc

Perhaps a better word could be "anticipation"?

I think what i was going for was "an element of ***" like this could go wrong or this could be real and has been for someone

Risk .. that’s where it’s at mixed in with nervous excitement. If you can safely build all the components then that’s a job well done .
