Have you ever felt ashamed of your desires? Have you ever thought that “something is wrong” with you for fantasizing about something outside the “norm”?
If the answer is yes, know that you’re not alone. Millions of people around the world keep desires and fetishes locked away out of fear of judgment. But the truth is simple: being at peace with your sexuality is an act of mental health and self-knowledge.
As long as everything is legal, consensual, and doesn’t harm anyone, exploring what excites you can be profoundly liberating.
The dangers of repressing sexual desires
When we ignore or judge our own desires, what happens?
- Built-up frustration that affects relationships
- Anxiety and low self-esteem
- Difficulty truly connecting with your partner
- The constant feeling of “hiding a part of myself”
Studies on human sexuality show that sexual repression is linked to higher stress levels and lower overall life satisfaction. On the other hand, people who accept their desires responsibly often report greater confidence, creativity, and pleasure in their relationships.
A fetish is not synonymous with a problem. It’s just a preference. What matters is how we handle it.
Fetishes, polyamory, threesomes, and swinging: everything can be ethical
Many people think “liberal sex” is chaos without rules. Nothing could be further from the truth.
- Polyamory: Involves consensual emotional relationships with more than one person. It requires brutally honest communication, working through jealousy, and respecting agreements.
- Threesome (ménage à trois): A common fantasy for couples who want to add a third person in bed. It can be a one-time experience or something recurring.
- Swinging: Couples who exchange partners recreationally, usually without emotional involvement outside the main relationship.
- Various fetishes (light BDSM, voyeurism, etc.): Anything that excites you and can be practiced with safety and consent.
The secret to all of this? Communication + Consent + Safety.
Ysos: Fun without giving up ethics and respect
If you’re tired of sites and apps full of fakes, drama, and lack of respect, there’s a place made exactly for people who think like you.
Ysos is the Brazilian app specialized in liberal encounters for couples, single women, and open-minded single men.

- A community that values “your secret is our secret” (the name Ysos comes from Your Secret is Our Secret)
It’s not an “anything goes” app. It’s a space where fun and ethics go hand in hand. The people there have usually already gone through the process of accepting their desires and are looking to act on them responsibly.
How to start exploring safely:
