Dia Dynasty on BDSM: Unpacking Consent and Shattering Stigmas

There's all kinds of people out there that have different degrees of kinkiness, and some of us want to be able to engage with these kinks in a way that, of course, isn't endangering anybody in the public. But they want to be able to also not feel shame if there's a conversation going on about this kink and to be able to talk about it openly, which I don't think endangers anybody. And so again, I know that this is a very, very long-winded tangential journey into this problem, but it's very important to be able to- and I think that all of this centers around shame, like the people that don't want sex workers, consensual sex workers, to be able to build community and to talk about our work online are the same people that feel shame about their own sexuality or feel like other people should be ashamed of their own deviant sexualities. So that is, I feel like how we normalize things.
