Kink Is - An Anthology of Surprisingly Relatable True Stories about Sex, Power and Joy is the name of a remarkable new book about everyday kink people, presenting them in a beautiful collection of pictures and stories. It is published by Unbound Edition. We talk with the group behind the project from Divine Deviance: Race Bannon, Beatrice Stonebanks, Lola DeMilo, Adam Ouderkirk and Jörg Fockele. About the book: In this groundbreaking anthology, featuring a foreword by Margaret Cho, kinky people from around the world reveal in intimate detail their true stories of embracing the non-traditional practices that have informed or defined their identities, sexualities, relationships, connections, and communities. Filled with first-person narratives and stunning photographs, Kink Is captures the universal presence of kink across cultures, private lives, and public events. In these stories – as vulnerably honest as they are bravely bold – real people share what motivates and animates their desires to experience human-to-human connection in novel ways, most often in the pursuit of increased emotional freedom, physical autonomy, individual power, and mind-altering joy. Featured here are activists, rebels, and professionals alike: Readers will meet a teacher, a technology guru, a priest, a political prisoner, a therapist, an astrophysicist, and a grandmother, among many others.
