ABSTRACT
Some of the more in-depth stories these women told were included in this chapter. The intimate details, pieces, and treasures of each woman’s tale are exposed through their own narratives. Each woman paints a picture of their lives, loves, and desires. These women teach us that kink is love, is a love language, and is deep, emotional, intimate feelings for more than one person at the same time. Kink is life integrated intimately into the life of another and is experiencing and longing for more intimacy. Kink is pain, both giving and receiving, is service-oriented, and is multifaceted roles. Kink is messy, isolating, taboo, creativity, really submissive, really dominant, liberating, open, and natural. Kink is passionately following your instincts. This chapter calls on the reader to feel the emotions and the spirit of the stories and to reflect on their own thoughts, ideas, and beliefs.
