Q&A: do all kinks come from trauma?
Added 2022-06-15 10:49:24 +0000 UTCI enjoy debunking nonsense statements that people throw around about BDSM. One of them (that people toss around far too proudly) is that kinks come from trauma and that kinksters are just traumatised individuals who need therapy. I can’t count how many times I’ve been on the receiving end of the “you need therapy” comment!
So let’s address this question: do all kinks come from trauma?
The answer is no.
BDSM is incredible and complex - it affects participants psychologically and physiologically. I will make another post that goes more in-depth about this when I’m back home.
In this Tiktok video, I list three origins of kinks:
- Trauma
- Heritage
- How your brain is wired
Please share some of your kinks and their origins in the comments 😁
