The ‘Yumminess’ of Kink

“That thing changed my life, and my expectations as far as sex is concerned,” Shazz Nderitu, a Kenyan comedian and blogger at queendom.blog admits about kink.

So, in this episode, Nana Darkoa and Malaka are encouraged to bring elements of kink into their bedrooms, as connoisseurs share their experiences and shatter stereotypes about BDSM.  

As our hosts explore contradictions, care and consent within the kink world, they discuss its racial dynamics, and the difficult histories that whips and chains might bring up for Black people, and learn about the power and pleasure of after care.

“Even in regular-degular-vanilla-white-bread sex, I had never seen anyone take care of a sexual partner in that way,” Shazz says. “It totally f***ed with me in a beautiful way.”
