There is a theme to which my mind ever returns. That theme is Kink In The Mainstream. I just came up with the phrase, when I took over this blog, about a month ago. As I wrote more blogs, and researched more fetish porn, I realized that Fetish/Kink is everywhere, in very public parts of our culture. Peter and Lois Griffin are in the BDSM scene, at 9 o’clock every Sunday, safe words, leather hoods, whips, and all. Beyonce’s video? I have pages and pages of links to pay sites that look exactly the same, but sans Beyonce. Kink is everywhere, and the bar for taboo viz. Fetish is raising ever higher. Spanking, D/s, Leather, Latex, Rubber, Water Sports, Enemas, Yiffs, You Name It… it’s been referenced, or represented in the mainstream media, and/or culture. I think that this Rennaisance is the result, for the most part, of our dear old internet. That, and the digital revolution in general, with thousand of television channels, instant communication, and transfer of information. The global village has become the global neighborhood.
So, as kink becomes mainstream, we representatives of kink must walking blinkingly into the light of acceptance. As latex fetishes become the social equivalent of stamp collecting, or scrapbooking, then must we shed the aura of the Forbidden? Part of being into a kinky little scene, is the naughtiness of it. If it’s not cool, then do we still do it? If you saw your parents involved in bloodplay, would you throw out your fangs, and drop the -zrael from your name? Some would, to be sure. Some would move on down the road, into the next kink down the line. But some would do it, even if it was more common and accepted than holding hands. The fact is, as we evolve sexually as individuals, experimenting and trying things out, networking with similar people… so too our society evolves, and sexuality sheds the skin of Church mandated Sinfulness, and people are free to pursue their happiness, vouchsafed more than 200 years ago by these guys.
Women can dress in rubber, Trent Reznor , Anders Manga, and Maynard from Tool can continue w/ the creepy videos. It’s all good. You have the right to pleasure. Very libertarian. Also very Hermetic (Do what thou wilt…). Since you have a right to pleasure, and a right to share it, or flaunt it, or celebrate it, to whatever degree you wish, to a point. You can’t wear assless rubber chaps to work, but you can certainly find enough sources online, that you can honest shop around. And the mailman won’t look at you funny, or make you come downtown to sign a loyalty oath. Society inches ever forward, toward the acceptance of pleasure as a right. You can buy a personal massager (wink wink) at Wal-Mart, or any department store. You can buy warming sex lube at the pharmacy, by the condoms, and austere, metal tubes of K-Y Jelly.
