▼▼▼ VIDEO INFORMATION ▼▼▼

If you remember the end of May and beginning of this month, you'll recall that it was not a fun time to be a kinky person on the internet. It would seem that many myths and misconceptions still abound about our community. Not least of all the idea that "kink is inherently sexual". I don't have time to get into all of those myths today, but I will focus on a clear and concise answer to if there's any merit to the "kink is inherently sexual" phrase or not. Based on both personal experience, professional anecdotes, as well as recent studies and academic literature. Let's dive in!

00:00 - 01:51 Introduction
01:51 - 06:31 Why Don't We Rely On Academia?
06:31 - 09:35 Self-Defining What "Kink" Means
09:35 - 10:30 When Kink IS Inherently Sexual
10:30 - 15:03 Asexuals & BDSM
15:03 - 18:06 When Kink is NOT Inherently Sexual
18:06 - 20:16 Final Thoughts
