BDSM, Fetish Exploration, and Kink Therapist

You’re kinky.  That’s great!

But what does that mean, what does that mean to you?

Kink describes any unconventional sensual, erotic, and sexual behaviors including BDSM, fetishes, roleplaying, and more than one hundred other behaviors.

These “unconventional” behaviors include tickling, massaging, kissing, cuddling, holding hands — really, anything that you find sensual, erotic, or sexual.  The behaviors also include a host of (possibly) taboo activities, such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, bondage, corporal punishment, and humiliation.

We all have a kinky side to ourselves, not necessarily the kink portrayed in mainstream media, but more likely a special kink unique to each one of us. And our sexual needs, desires, fantasies, and behaviors are sometimes so intricate and perplexing that we have difficulties understanding them ourselves.

Many of us want to explore our kink, to share our kink with others, particularly loved ones.  This can have its challenges, from acceptance to understanding to exploration and experimentation.

Our Therapists

Our therapists at Affirming Therapy Center have explored facets of their own kink, they are active in the kink community, and they have studied kink concepts and behaviors.  They are kink-aware professionals who are sensitive to the social, psychological, emotional, and personal aspects of kink, and who have personally experienced the challenges, growth, wonder, and excitement of kink.
