✨ Embracing Kink Positivity! ✨

Good morning, friends! We’re getting kinky before the coffee’s kicked in! Before we even start today’s kinky convo, we’re going to need facts, and you’re know I’m your girl when it comes to that! 

✨ 75% of all humans, across all demographics, report having kink fantasy. These results tell us something super important: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NORMAL! EVERYBODY’S A LITTLE BIT WEIRD! 

✨ Kinky people are no more psychologically pathological on average than the general population. This means, there is nothing wrong with you! You aren’t deviant, you aren’t damaged, you aren’t bad, and you’re just acting out on fantasy that almost everyone around you also has of their own. 

✨There’s real science to kink and to pretty much any other sex act you could name!  It causes the release of neurotransmitters – such as dopamine, adrenalin or serotonin – that result in a chemical high. It’s true that you have to be able to find that kind of physical stimulation arousing in order to be turned on, but when you do, it encourages your body to release noradrenaline, adrenalin, dopamine, and opioids is likely to be a pretty positive sexual experience. THIS IS GOOD AND HEALTHY BRAIN CHEMISTRY! 

OK, What does all this mean and why it is important to know?

In the realm of sex education, being "kink positive" means fostering an open, accepting environment where diverse sexual practices and desires are celebrated, not shamed. It encourages a dialogue around non-mainstream interests like BDSM, role-playing, and various fetishes, emphasizing that these experiences are valid expressions of human sexuality. And remember friends, sexual health IS health. 

Kink positivity is about breaking down the barriers of stigma and judgment. It’s so interesting, as even in the basic explanation of what my company does, this simple indication that I was “kink positive”, sent Southern Indiana in flames. You would have thought I suggested we roast puppies and small children. DUE TO THIS EXACT KIND OF STIGMA, many individuals feel hesitant to explore their kinks due to societal pressures and misconceptions. By creating spaces where these discussions can occur without fear of disapproval, we empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves. This openness not only enriches personal relationships but also promotes a more inclusive society.

My job, as your sex educator can provide valuable support and guidance to clients looking to begin experimenting with kink in several ways:

1. Education on Kink Basics: They can introduce clients to foundational concepts of kink, including various types of kinks, BDSM practices, and common terminology. This helps clients understand what interests them and what they might explore.

2. Emphasis on Consent: Educators can teach the importance of informed consent, emphasizing that all parties must agree to engage in any kink activities. They can discuss verbal and non-verbal consent and methods for negotiating boundaries and limits.

3. Safety Guidelines: They can provide information about safety precautions, including physical safety (like using safe words, having limits, and employing safe equipment) and emotional safety (promoting aftercare and discussing emotional triggers).

4. Resources and Tools: Sex educators can recommend books, websites, or workshops that provide further learning about kink practices. They may also suggest joining local or online communities for support and shared experiences.

5. Exploration of Personal Interests: They can guide clients in reflecting on their interests and desires, helping them identify the types of kinks they might want to explore and discussing their feelings around these interests.

6. Communication Skills: Educators can offer role-play or scenarios to help clients practice how to communicate their desires and boundaries with partners effectively.

7. Addressing Concerns and Misconceptions: They can help clients navigate any fears or anxieties about kink, addressing common misconceptions and providing reassurance.

8. Creating a Plan: Finally, they can assist clients in creating a thoughtful plan for their exploration, including setting intentions, and discussing safety measures. 

Let’s encourage conversations that celebrate sexual diversity and promote understanding! Together, we can build a culture that honors individual expressions of sexuality, where people can share their interests and experiences freely. Let’s do the work to normalize kink positivity, emphasizing that all desires, when expressed consensually and safely, deserve respect and acceptance. 💖🔐
