Kink is seen as something dirty that needs to be hidden, something you choose to do instead of needing.
Still very recently being kinky was a mental disorder, a paraphilia that was pathologized. The normative gay community has been trying to keep a distance to BDSM because of politics, even though it’s an integral part of queer culture. Some people still fear for their jobs and their family ties in case their kinky activities would come out. And some people get turned on by feeling wrong, by being stigmatized.
Being kinky has a different meaning for different people. For some, it is a primary sexual identity, more important than things like the gender of partners or genital-based sexual activity. For others, it’s a secondary identity, and for many, it’s the spice for the bedroom or a preference they can live without.
Join Ceci for this exploration of kink through performance and discussion. Share stories, get political, feel like you found a home, feel alienated, get angry, give support, listen. Leave with some new perspectives in the end.
