Description

The Kink Perspective looks at BDSM through psychology, not performance. It’s an honest examination of power, connection, and what really shapes relationships inside kink, without romanticizing dysfunction or avoiding hard truths.


Hosted by Chris C, trauma-focused psychotherapist with more than two decades of lifestyle experience.
