larina

I feel like she definitely doesn't object to toys and a little kink in the bedroom. I think she probably doesn't do anything too hardcore but I think she is definitely one to experiment. I just get that vibe from her but there are quite a few references in her songs that make it seem like it is a very real possibility that she's into bdsm.

Also I would not be surprised if she has a hot pinky sparkly dildo.

Honestly, this whole thing makes me wonder something about Lana's whole prostitution thing that may or may not have happened. She said she use to do these $100 jobs off of Craiglist, and it is possible she could have slipped into the personals part of it. Not to have sex with these men, but maybe to beat them possibly...? Like I've heard stories of regular day people and of people I know  who took on jobs just to beat the shit out of someone because the person who wanted to be beat shitless had a kink for it and had parental issues. It makes me wonder if Lana probably got desperate enough for money to just whip someone.... I know for a fact Christine F. from Zoo Station did this even though it was traumatizing to her. Maybe this is where Lana got her B.D.S.M things from, and later became a bit submissive. I doubt she does full-on BDSM she probably just wants to be spanked. Also, another thing is Dorothy from Blue Velvet the Lynch film wanted to be hit, that is another possibility where she got the themes from. In Lost Highway also I think Alice/Renee was into BDSM. It is possible Lynch's films had inspiration into these themes. 

It must be soooo cool to have random people talking about your sexual life on the internet lol. I think she is into BDSM but doesn't make a big deal out of it.

Anyone who can't see that LDR is in a perfect control of her submisson is in a state of denial. She's much stronger than any of her men.

i've always gotten that vibe from her. personally, i'm anti-bdsm so i try to ignore it cos i still love her music & storytelling.

Exactly what I think: she's not into hardcore BDSM. I would add that she probably enjoy some role play as well. I can imagine her as a naughty schoolgirl being spanked by her teacher

Lana seems to be quite kinky, why not?A little bondage here, some submission there a couple wip's and handcuffs here and there  
 
 
hummm...I think Ride in particular is very related to the backlash she got  and her struggling years trying to get "noticed" and successful and nothing related to actual sex.  Actually Lana tells you what the song is about from the beginning:
Don't break me down 
I've been traveling too long 
I've been trying too hard 
With one pretty song 
 
IMO is a clear reference to Video Games, the one pretty song that was successful, her one pretty song.
 
During the monologue and song you can get tons of reference to that. I guess the prostitute part is also figurative and not literally. Which fits Lana's writing that is very figurative when describing time/eras, sensations or feelings. The prostitute or prostitution in question is the sold out, the "she's a product of Interscope and her fathers money" , she's a fake because Lana Del Rey is not her real name. Prostitutes sell themselves, use fake names,  it's the use of figurative language which is fair common in Lana's material
 
I believe in the country America used to be
I believe in the kindness of strangers 
I just ride
 
It's fair to say Ride isn't  sex, actual prostitution 

Is that from the Mindy Project?  
 
And to reply to this topic, I think for sure. I agree with ataraxia, she is submissive, and I actually really like the theory that she is trying to rewrite her past. I'm going to misuse the illimilana emoticon again. Although, there's still a part of me that thinks she is trying to create a past.

Well, we know she loves his ultraviolence.
 
Actually, that's interesting. "Lay me down tonight in my linen and curls" playing in the background of the chorus of "Ultraviolence" kind of makes it sound like she's asking him to give her all of his ultraviolence when he lays her down... Hmm...

I can't picture her being into the sado stuff, but I think she's into light bondage and submission. 

Her sexual life's probably like in her videos...and reading about something doesn't mean practicing it, especially not be into sexual healing.
As for lyrics, she said about that UV song it's about her times, when she had some guru, so she explains in song how he made her feel pain, as it's pleasure, so from that, she should be against BDSM too.

short answer, probably. lanz is sub.

I'm glad I decided to post this as a separate thread then
 
 
 
 
Hmm, true, very true

Serious answer - who knows what she likes 'behind closed doors', but she definitely seems to like thinking about it. One of the not at all salacious aspects of BDSM is that it lets people relive traumatic or shitty experiences in a safe setting, so that they can move from being controlled by those events, to controlling them. I get that feeling off a number of her songs (the Ride film clip seems to be a huge exercise in this). It's a type of empowerment that doesn't really fit 'positive thinking' or 'girl power' narratives, so it's a little more hidden in popular culture. 
 
So if Lana can reclaim and rewrite her past in her songs, does she need to do it in her life through BDSM? I have no idea. Everything else is gossip, which I'll leave to people who like to do that ...

i can already tell that this will be my favorite thread on LanaBoards

I was going to first send this as a status update, then I was going to post it in the Thread for Minor General Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread thread, but then I thought this could cause a big discussion so I created its own thread. If any Mods seem to disagree, they can, of course, move this into the TFMGQTDDTOT thread.
 
Alright, so there's songs like Push Me Down and lyrics like I like it when you treat me mean from Hundred Dollar Bill and the Hit me and tell me "You're mine!" line from the Diet Mountain Dew demo. And then there's the Hit me and it felt like a kiss line that Lana quotes in several songs. There's also her response to when an interviewer asked her why she's always choked in her music videos, and her response being: "I like a little hardcore love".
Is this chick into B.D.S.M. or what? 
The whole "Daddy" nickname mightn't only reference Lolita but also B.D.S.M.-like relationships. Now, I don't know much about all of this but I know "Daddy: is a common title of the male if he is the dominant. 
Discuss whether you think Lana might be into this stuff or not

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not, but I created a Lana edit and I thought I should post it on here. Other than my two album artwork ones, I am completely new to this so it's pretty crappy, but I'm quite proud of it, so here it is:

Elmo

Florida Kilos has the feel of an unreleased song, in my opinion.

this song is reminds me of Boarding School in the way that it glamorises drug abuse. in both songs, Lana sings in a cheery, girlish voice that makes you forget the true nature of what she's singing about. it's only when you REALLY listen to the lyrics that you realise how wrong the song is.
the song works so well as the end of the deluxe imo cause most of the songs before it are all about how Lana is rejected and emotionally drained by her boyfriend's drug addiction, but with this song, it's kind of like she's succumbed to the addiction - she's no better than her pill-popping boyfriend now. Lana's so clever.
