Well, I was unhealthily repressed for most of my life, I had my first sexual experience at thirty eight...hell, I kissed someone for real the first time when I was thirty eight. Until recently I could probably count the times I masturbated off the top of my head. So yeah, there's a lot of stuff I'm still figuring out. We also probably define 'kink' pretty different. Sexting is kinky, to me.

[Nadine's sexual education had been....unbalanced. And normally she wouldn't really talk about this, but Julie both knows her well and knows about her specific history. There's no need to be vague or dance around certain subjects.]

I know what I don't like, Harold took care of that pretty well, but he was into extreme stuff. There's areas I'm slowly exploring and a lot of it is stuff I'm okay exploring with not-Jaskier partners. None of it's stuff that requires a lot of trust or anything - you and Jaskier are the only people I'd be comfortable with heavily trust-based stuff.

[Things involving restraint or blindfolds or anything like that. Anything with increased vulnerability.]

Yes, really. Sure, a lot of people used cool illusions. You didn't do an illusion. That's a hell of a lot more impressive. I'm good at magic. I've been doing it for years, and out of books. I couldn't do anything even close to what you did and if I tried...it would probably end up some nightmare out of a Carpenter movie.

[It's a kind of magic that seems so far beyond her knowledge and ability. It's not even the sort of thing she can remember seeing done in Thorne, though she supposes it's not as if she'd have seen it anyway. Still. Julie had impressed her.]

Yeah, the whole get-up didn't really do anything for me that way, but just the corset...I don't know. See, like I said, I'm still figuring out things I like.
