Episode Description
On today’s show, I discuss the growing trend of drinking and substance use at dungeons and BDSM events. As different lifestyles like polyamory and swinging increasingly overlap with kink spaces, the standards around consent, autonomy, and responsibility are starting to shift, and not in ways that protect the community. I break down why sobriety matters in play spaces, the risks that come with impaired consent, and how easily lines can blur when alcohol enters environments built on trust. This is not about blame. It is about stewardship. It is about protecting the spaces that allow real vulnerability and real power exchange to happen safely. If we care about the future of our community, it is time we start having the harder conversations.
