From host Kevin Miller: When I was 7 years old and got out of line, my parents would give me an “attitude adjustment” and make me listen to motivational speakers like Zig Ziglar. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but the experience gave me awareness of how powerful our minds and outlook on life are. I went on to become a pro athlete, have 9 kids, start 17 businesses and become addicted to performance and production. Till I burnt out. Multiple times. That started a quest to not just pursue p ...

Overview of Kink and Sexual Diversity
- Kink is a broad term that includes alternative sexual practices like BDSM, polyamory, and consensual non-monogamy.
- Kink behaviors often fall outside of mainstream practices, but they are a normal part of sexual diversity for many people.
DSM-5's View on Kink
- Kink-related behaviors, including BDSM and fetishism, are no longer considered mental disorders unless they cause harm or involve non-consensual acts.
- It's essential to differentiate between consensual kink and problematic behaviors that cause distress or harm.
Mental Health Impacts
- For many, kink activities provide empowerment, emotional expression, and fulfillment.
- However, stigma around kink can lead to shame, guilt, and even suicidal ideation if individuals feel judged or isolated for their preferences.
Safe, Sane, and Consensual Practices
- A key principle in kink is that all activities must be safe, sane, and consensual.
- Proper training and open communication are crucial to ensure that participants engage safely and have the ability to withdraw consent at any time.
Debunking Myths
- Kink participants are not necessarily dealing with trauma, nor is kink inherently linked to psychological issues.
- Many participants in kink lead healthy, well-balanced lives, and their practices are simply part of their sexual identity.
Clinician’s Role
- Therapists must create a non-judgmental, supportive environment for clients to discuss kink without fear of stigma.
- Recognizing one's biases and educating oneself on kink-related practices is essential to providing competent care.
Communication and Education
- Encouraging open, honest communication between partners in kink relationships helps maintain trust and safety.
- Platforms like FetLife and local "munches" provide safe spaces for kink individuals to meet and learn in non-sexual settings.
Polyamory and Consensual Non-Monogamy
- Polyamory is distinct from casual or open relationships and involves committed, loving relationships with multiple people.
- Consent and communication are key, and therapists should understand the dynamics to better assist clients practicing these relationship models.
