FREE EDUCATION VIDEO: The BDSM Test - Why It's Dangerous

Originally posted in my Patreon... recorded June 2022

SURPRISE! For the very first time, Sunny Megatron of American Sex Podcast created a video of their American Sex podcast interview, and I had the privilege to chatter on it. This is only for you and Sunny's Patrons.

This is only the interview portion of Monday's podcast

Here's the synopsis:

“The BDSM Test” is infamous in the kink community and beyond. Since 2014 thousands have proudly posted their results on FetLife profiles and used it as a roadmap, educational tool, and kink negotiation starter. It’s even made its way vanilla culture as the focus of social media challenges and mainstream magazine writeups.

But is this kink subculture phenomenon all its cracked up to be? While some find it helpful and validating, many say it’s othering, stigmatizing, and normalizes red-flag behavior disguised as “kink.”

Midori & kinky therapist Joe Zarate-Sanderlin join us to deconstruct the BDSM test question by question. We also explore its wider impact. Why do so many overlook basic vetting criteria regarding this test that they’d normally scrutinize other educational sources with? Who wrote this kink test, why, and what are they using the massive amount of data they’re collecting about our deviant desires for? Turns out, that’s a bit of a mystery…

Enjoy!
