Kink for healing
One of the quirkiest takeaways from the convention was how it created a safe space for healing from trauma. It’s not just an event; it’s a vibe, a place where kinksters from all over can come together for three days and feel at home. It’s where folks reclaim who they are, conquer body image woes, chase their desires, and explore pleasure in a safe and inclusive setting. This convention is a haven for those seeking connection, knowledge, and growth within the kink community.
Jitender, the co-founder and organizer, emphasized the importance of inclusivity, stating, “We must provide space for people in marginalized communities. Different sexual orientations should never be looked down upon”, to Vice India.
Attending the convention was life-changing for the participants, opening the door to a community that embraces authenticity and aiding them on their own journey of self-discovery. They went from being vanilla to proudly identifying as kinky in just three days. They discovered that kink isn’t just about physical sensations or causing harm but rather about exploring desires and boundaries in a consensual and safe manner. Most importantly, they learned that kink is normal and healthy—a beautiful expression of human sexuality. Even giving a hickey can be considered kinky!
“Seeing everyone support and uplift each other, regardless of identity or experience, was truly inspiring. These events remind us that our differences are what make us beautiful, and we’re all on this journey of self-discovery together,” shared a 36-year-old attendee to Vice India.
