I actually love kinksters so much

[mxbutchtwink]

Learning from every source in your life that sex is disgusting and sinful, that you should be ashamed of your feelings, thoughts and desires and then having someone in a dog mask tell you, "No, it's all cool, actually," is mind-blowing lol

In the comments seeing a lot of aces saying "Yeah I appreciate that kinksters are often accepting of ace people" and that is because there are many asexuals in kink! Sexual attraction or behavior is not essential to kink/BDSM.

My spouse and I are both a-spec kinksters who do a lot of Kinky Activities and exactly zero traditional genital-involving sex. I write about being nonsexual kinksters professionally as well.

"One funny thing: At most of the kink parties Selena went to, no one was doing anything that seemed to be sexual. People would say, 'I'm tying someone up, that's sex,' but much of the time it didn't seem to feel sexual and nobody could explain how this made sense. Was tying someone up really sex, or was it a rope and some trust? Selena didn't care about sex, but she did love rope, so it was unclear exactly what was happening here, and what she actually wanted.

Intimacy, it turns out. Selena cared about intimacy, and kink was a way for her to be intimate with others. Intimacy and sex are not the same. Intimacy can be in service of sex or sex can be in service of intimacy, or they can be completely separate..."

Oh my god-

I never thought of it that way

[tramtheram]

Kink is allowing folks a space to be weird and unconventional, its in that space that questions can be asked and explored in a way conventional space wouldn't normally allow.

“It's the most passion that you have without sex,” says Clemons. “Two androgynous beings becoming one. It's love. It's two men—two strong, very virile men—finding that space in life where they can let go enough of their masculinity to feel the passion of love and respect and trust. Friendships are based on those things, and you seal it with a kiss.”

shoutout today to Cynthia, the celebrity mannequin. she spent the ‘30s being taken to high society parties and eventually became so popular she got her own fashion column, a cameo in a Jack Benny movie (where he mistakes it for a real girl), and a LIFE magazine profile in which her sculptor (a gay man who turned out to be using her as an elaborate beard) hires her as an escort, wines and dines it, and finally returns to their hotel room and disassembles her.
