Pretty in Kink and Kinks at Pride

Kink dabblers can be quite toxic too. I tried to enter into a d/s partnership and after our first encounter my sub flipped out. We both work in professions that are non accepting so it was understood we would maintain descretion but the more he wanted it, the more he lashed out at me. Had several do this 🤷

Thanks Melissa - that was the point I was trying to get to, but prob didn't do successfully. As a dom you can often feels used by subs like this. who are hot and heavy in the moment - then cold a distant when it is over - KW

I agree. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. I've run into particularly perniciously toxic doms and leather families. I just find their reach less than the far right purposely trolling to stir up problems across all social boundaries. I've seen them manufacture this bull. That doesn't include the foreign intelligence groups that are doing the same thing to everyone of both sides (yes, this is actually a Thing).

The convo regarding kink dabblers is an interesting (fascinating, hehe), and nuanced one. Being kinky can absolutely have its own coming out experience and depending on how much internalized stigma someone carries (and how much fear they have over being discovered), I can understand how that causes distress and even harm to the people they choose to play with. It's almost like the kink dabbler isn't really seeing the person they're playing with as a whole person because they've internalized so much shame and compartmentalized their own kink as very separate from the person they are in every other aspect of life. Dehumanization as a way to try and stay safe. And people should absolutely have the choice to manage how they feel safe and secure, but when those coping mechanisms start harming/objectifying others, that needs to be unpacked.
