Emma Watson is “fascinated” by kink culture when it comes to being open in the bedroom.
The Harry Potter star, 34, admitted she feels “empowered” by referring to her relationship status as “self-partnered” rather than single. She confessed she has “become slightly fascinated by kink culture” – but perhaps not for the reasons fans might think.
She explained at the time: “They are the best communicators ever. They know all about consent. They smash that stuff because they really have to get it — but we could all use those models; they’re actually really helpful models.”

Speaking about non-traditional relationships, she told author Valerie Hudson: “ feel that relationships that don’t necessarily follow traditional models do require more communication and consent. It requires an actual conversation and agreement about the delegation of tasks and labor and responsibilities that maybe you don’t feel that you need to have or should have if you follow those traditional stereotypes…”
She added: “The idea that relationships are supposed to be easy and it’s all supposed to be implicitly understood, and you’re just meant to get each other, it’s bulls**t! It’s impossible!”
The Hermione Granger star describes herself as ‘self-partnered’ because, when she turned 30, she felt an “incredible, sudden anxiety and pressure that I had to be married or have a baby or moving into a house, and there was no word for this kind of subliminal messaging and anxiety and pressure that I felt building up”.
She said: “For me it wasn’t so much about coining a word; it was more than I needed to create a definition for something that I didn’t feel there was language for. It was less for me about the word but more about what it meant — just this idea that we need to reclaim language and space in order to express ourselves because sometimes it’s really not there.”
Emma even subscribes to an “expensive” sexual pleasure site which helps her boost her sexual experience. She told Gloria Steinem at a London event: “A friend told me about this website called OMGYes, which is dedicated to female sexuality. I wish it had been around longer- definitely check it out, it’s an expensive subscription but it’s worth it.”
