So what if I’m my own voyeur? — Connections and Disconnections with Desire(s)

Funnily enough, porn played a massive role in helping me articulate my queerness (I am pansexual) and my even queerer desires.

Tryst With Kink: Brushstrokes Of BDSM On My Sexuality

The responsibilities attached to BDSM are frankly the same as that for any other sex act. But since the submissive partner(s) are placing themselves at a position of vulnerability, these responsibilities mark the difference between sex and abuse. Have fun, but responsibly.

Video: How to be a Friend to Yourself

This thought-provoking, luminously illustrated The School of Life video reminds us of self-compassion being essential to building our own selves up, and being a safe space where we can extend the same love and imagination to our vulnerabilities, insecurities, fears, and doubts as we do to our friends.
