Unkinked is a philosophy for deprogramming from the patterns of dominator culture/BDSM.

This framework is a guide for learning to relate to

the world,

the self,

and other people

through a lens of shared power,

and with an understanding that kinks represent symbolic blockages in the flow of collective freedom.

Unkinked utilizes the language and framework of kink/BDSM to draw connections between "bedroom kink" and "existential kink,"

drawing on the fields of somatics and trauma psychology which demonstrate how human conditioning inherently compels us to repeat the patterns of old wounds and painful experiences.

Unkinked is the project of embodying truth:

the personal is political, and revolution starts at home, in our bodies and our bedrooms.

Support the Vision

Unkinked exists:

to spark greater recognition for the reality of BDSM and its connections to trauma,

to support a movement for reclaiming sexuality as a path for healing

to inspire practices of embodied power and relating beyond systems of domination.

I hope you'll join me in bringing that vision to life, though sharing, subscribing, or letting me know how my writing has impacted you.
