Also know as the love of tears

One part can be in the “caregiver/little space” where the arousal comes as the person gets to comfort the little who may be upset watching a sad movie. Whereas In the “Dom/sub space” a person is getting pushed to be upset due to impact pain or so, and the crying drives arousal.

This kink is mainly explored within the BDSM space and not much research or science is done on it. The kink is usually, in its more extreme parts, combined with CNC or Impact play or even both.

Please ensure you have approval from your Play partner(s) to bring them to the point of tears if you are looking to explore the kink. There are plenty people out there which take joy themselves in getting to that point, so looking for a play partner(s) that would enjoy it, is the way to go. When crying the brain will release oxytocin and endorphins afterwards which some people enjoy.
