        I don’t kink shame.

        Thinking again, yes, I will!

        I’m from the cursed time where a picture of a fully naked girl trying to insert a cactus into her privates circulated the internet.

        It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t cheeky. It was dangerous and incredibly stupid. And 99% of people laughed at the picture and eventually I saw that same image, on a forum, with a “Don’t kink shame” tag on it.

        Are we under some collective insanity or mental numbness that prevents us from caring for others? To identify that someone is taking up actions that may very well lead to bodily harm?

        That is dangerous. Sex toys are cheap. Pick a dildo, use the sharpies for its intended purpose

        I feel better. Feel free to have me denounced or blocked.

        Have a nice day.

          At the crossing of the line marked “I know what’s best for you” there’s a shift from caring about someone to trying to parent someone.

          I don’t think that’s kink shaming, you’re not trying to make someone feel bad about what they’re into, you’re warning of unsafe practices. Very different from being mean to someone because you don’t like what they like to do.
