My experiences are similar to yours in some respects, particularly the coming-to-kink-via-fandom bit, and kink-bingo has basically been foundational in how I think about kink and interact with it (i.e., I never "learned" to think of some kinks as better than others, and I've been spoiled by their shaming-free discussion policies).
As far as recs go, I have this one, which is one of the very few fics I've read on the strength of the author, involving kinks that I'd thought were a non-starter for me - and yet, I couldn't put it down, and find myself reccing it at nearly every opportunity:
monster (6288 words) by thingswithwings Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Avengers (2012) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Bruce Banner/Tony Stark, a tiny bit of background Tony/Pepper sorry sabine don't get your hopes up Characters: Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov Additional Tags: Sadism, Dominance, sadist's pov, dominant's pov, Torture, Interrogation, Stockholm Syndrome, Rape Roleplay, Consensual Kink, Knifeplay, Temperature Play, Caning, Blood, Bloodplay, Bondage, self-actualization, Consensual Non-Consent Summary:
Basically a dissertation on Bruce's sadism. But a naked dissertation. With orgasms. And sharp implements.
