ABSTRACT
The final chapter reviews some of the findings from the research, including lessons learned from the quotations provided, a review of the various types of relationships, the reasons people participate in kink activities, and insight gleaned from the personal stories. Each of the women in the Kinky Women Research Study has her own perspective and experiences, and collectively their stories demonstrate the diversity of experiences. These examples provide more rich understandings of how people come together: in play, in romance, in love, in sex, in friendship, and in community. This chapter explores the problems with labels and the joys with research, addresses sample size, and submits final thoughts. The authors conclude by encapsulating the ideas weaved throughout the book, including considerations, guidance, support, and reflective questions for those who are looking for more “life” in their life.
