When I started the site I could have never forseen where it would take me. I’m so grateful for what I get to do. 12.39 Book Review: This episode’s book is Decoding Your Kink: Guide to Explore, Share and Enjoy Your Wildest Sexual Desires by Galen Fous, MTP. The author’s goal is to help people understand and accept their kinks and to more fully integrate that side of themselves into their complete selves. The book isn’t perfect–I was hoping for more pratical exercises–but it was thought-provoking and Fous’ goals are admirable. The author’s website: GalenFous.com The Personal Erotic Myth Survey Understanding Ourselves Through Erotic Fantasies zine by Meg-John & Justin Jillian Keenan’s piece on Slate: Is Kink a sexual orientation? Keenan’s book was excellent, by the way. I reviewed it in episode 42. Madison Young talks about conversing with your desire in her book–The DIY Porn Handbook, which I reviewed in episode 40. 35.55 Closing Remarks: Thank you for tuning in!
