Hello Intimates,
Are you curious how intimacy and sadism relate? Sometimes being seen and accepted doing something that is so vilified can bond you to a person.
What would you do if something like sadism were a core element in you? What if it were a core element in your sexuality? How would you ethically go about being a sadist?
I think of reducing the stigma in society around ethical sadism as work producing an inclusive society that leads to greater freedom, less mental illness (think depression and anxiety due to shame), and more production as more people will function more fully.
Some may make the argument that it also makes society safer as more sadists have an outlet, and while they might have an outlet, I’m always cautious not to suggest sadists who are ethical by nature would act unethically on those drives.
I haven’t yet seen any research that suggests sadism and criminality are at all linked and while I haven’t thoroughly looked at primary literature on this topic, I’d highly caution against making huge leaps like that. I think sadists without an outlet are more likely to experience depression because they aren’t given the freedom to have consensual interactions that would feed them. Who are we to judge which consensual interactions are okay if everyone is safe?
The bigger problem I would suggest is that we don’t have a functioning legal framework for consent surrounding consensual sex or physical violence that later becomes non consensual during the act, though of course some might have a lower bar for what counts as functioning and may disagree with me.
In any case, Starship Jones is back today to talk about consensual ownership of humans, dominance, gangbangs, intimacy with strangers, submission, service, ethical sadism of course, and more.
And hey, if you want a photographer in the Vancouver area who is kink-friendly, poly-friendly, gangbang-friendly, etcetera, feel free to reach out to him on Instagram or Fetlife, links included in the description.
I look forward to sharing this conversation with you on Intimate Interactions.
