“Uncaged Kink”: Illuminating POC Entry Stories into BDSM Taylor & Master Nwachi - Science of BDSM Research Team

At MsC 2022, Master Nwachi Tafari embarked on a research study titled “Uncaged Kink.” The goal was to archive the entry stories of people of color into the BDSM lifestyle. Participants were asked to spend 20 to 40 minutes sharing their story and answering a series of interview questions. What was intended to be a guided monologue often turned into a deep dialogue, with interviewees turning the table on Master Nwachi, asking as many questions as they answered. In this class, Master Nwachi will share the results of his study: The challenging and inspiring stories of kinky persons of color navigating their journeys of self-discovery.
