A brat kink is a type of BDSM role where the submissive enjoys playfully pushing buttons and breaking rules to deliberately provoke attention from their dominant. Brats love "poking the bear" or provoking their Dom, and they intentionally misbehave in a lighthearted, naughty way. Being a brat is a way to engage with your submissive side without being a stereotypical sub. Bratty behaviors run the gamut, but theyre usually done in a playful way, such as purposely burning something in the oven or defying authority. Bratting can become part of a couples everyday interactions, and it might be a way to test a partners commitment and worth. A brat tamer is a Dom who is skilled in giving their brat space to be a brat and figuring out how to express and prove their dominance to their brat in response to their bratting.
