About the Journal

The Journal of Kink and Community was created to fill a crucial gap in the world of kink and BDSM by providing an accessible platform for research, discussion, and advocacy. We believe that everyone in the kink community, whether practitioners, educators, allies, or researchers, deserves a space where their voices can be heard without the barriers of traditional academic gatekeeping.

This journal is committed to breaking down the walls that often exclude marginalized perspectives and promoting inclusive and ethical research. We welcome contributions that explore kink from all angles, offering a platform for original research, theory papers, practical guides, and advocacy work highlighting kink's intersection with identity, culture, and social justice.

We aim to create a space for accessible knowledge where professionals and community members alike can share their experiences, learn from each other, and contribute to the ongoing conversation. The Journal of Kink and Community is here to amplify voices, challenge traditional boundaries, and build a more informed, inclusive, and respectful kink culture for all.
