Are there terms that can be applied to both a) what people are doing b) what people are feeling while they are doing it. *ponders*

For instance, "kink" to me doesn't imply a state of being, since for me "kink" means a tool or scenario that I use while bringing about a state change. But what is actually creating the state change is D/s dynamics. It's like the way I feel about measuring a cup of flour, compared to the way I feel while eating cake. But for others "kink" encompasses the whole caboodle: emotions, intense sensations, activity.
