Do you pass your next door neighbour in the hallway or in the street everyday?
Is your kink a heavy cross that you carry on your shoulders?
Do you ever wonder if your neighbour is a kinkster too?
If your answers to the questions above are “Yes”, do not worry – You are not alone out there. The chances that your friendly neighbour is a kinkster are quite high.
Psychology Today has a really interesting article about how the kink scene has moved from magazines to the online domain. Things that were taboo 15 years ago are more accepted today.
It makes you think, doesn’t it?
I can’t even imagine a world without the possibility to get in touch with fellow lifestylers around the globe. I still value my local network, but I also get wonderful input from people in other countries and other cultures and it is a great learning trip.
With the ability access expressions of a kink online comes the feeling of not being alone, which can be quite stigmatizing. You realise that your kink is not that wierd and there is a bunch of people into the same thing. And all of a sudden the possibility to share a kink all there.
With more people connecting around a certain kink comes exposure and with exposure comes acceptance.
It is easier to accept your own kink if you realise that you are not alone. When you accept your own kink, you also become more confident and that will rub off on other people who are curious and want to know more about your specific kink.
It is all about claiming your space in society, a space were you and your kink is understood and your right to express it is accepted.
