genuine question, psychology, trauma, kink and sex
why do people develop kinks that are related to trauma they went through? i feel like i have some and idk if it's a problem or not because i feel bad every time i indulge in them because it brings shit memories and i am afraid of myself changing for the worse bc of them
re: genuine question, psychology, trauma, kink and sex
@mynameistillian For a lot of folks it's a way to essentially 'take agency' over those experiences, to relive them in a safe(r) environment where they control the terms on which it happens - which helps with processing the trauma.
I'd say it's a healthy thing as long as you engage with it on your own terms (and where it involves other creatures, they should be safe to be around).
