A conversation with Cat and Joshua of the Kink Collective where we get into their origin stories of discovering kink at a young age and the shame that came with it. Joshua shares his path from the Marines to professional domination and how he realized helping people through kink was his calling. They talk about connecting through the NYC scene and discovered they shared the same philosophy about hosting events. We dig into their ”People Before Kink” approach, removing hierarchy at events, rule readings as a filtering mechanism, and their zero-strike policy for bad actors. We discuss separating sex from BDSM as an exercise, how pairing unlikely partners together for practice leads to breakthroughs, service submission and so much more.
