I apologise if this article has been posted before -- it's a year old. But it has lots of delicious sound-bites.

"‘You’re not going out dressed like that!’, has become ‘You can’t say that!’ – and it’s all the more sinister coming from a younger generation rather than an older one, who could be excused for being cautious."

"Someone who likes dressing up in a gimp mask is not Rosa Parks, and I find the increasing lack of ability to differentiate between the two in some quarters highly risible at best and downright insulting at worst."

"Personally, I don’t think Pride needs to be family-friendly – it’s about the very adult desire to connect your genitalia to the genitalia of the same sex, which is pretty specific. But neither is it about kinks. Considering its origins, lesbians have far more right to be there than men who pretend to be dogs at weekends."

"I can’t help thinking that outrage is to this generation what sex was to mine."

The dog masks really are creepy looking. Imagining very woke parents trying to field loud "mummy, why is that man crawling around on the ground dressed up like a dog?" questions almost makes me feel sorry for them.

I’m of the school of parenting that has a good go at age-appropriate explanations for almost anything (and as Londoners, it’s essential), but faced with tubby rubber pups, I’d have nothing but “Cover your eyes, children! Walk quickly!”

I honestly feel it is none of my business what people get up to sexually in their own private homes providing all concerned are consenting and adult.

I believe that practices that come under the category of "kink" can be fun, playful and very enjoyable for some people. I also appreciate that some practices that can be defined as “kink” can be problematic for all kinds of reasons. Like so many things this is complex. I think there is a continuum, with playful, loving experimentation at one end and dangerous compulsive behaviour at the other.

I am becoming increasingly concerned about certain psychotherapists and mental health professionals who promote their "kink aware" "kink friendly" etc. credentials.

Some of them seem to be involved in sinister sex cults that also promote sex work as a spiritual path. This is deeply concerning.

I have no problem at all with people wanting to discuss their sexual fantasies and desires with a properly qualified psychotherapist. However I am concerned that, if a therapist is involved in a sex cult or otherwise abusive cult (and many are), that the confidentiality that their clients assume is there may not exist.

The psychotherapist concerned in such a situation may be, willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly, harvesting compromising, sensitive information about people’s sexual fantasies and sexual lives. This can happen if a therapist’s clinical supervisor is in an abusive cult, even if the therapist themselves are not. Given that many people have fantasies that are to some extent contradictory to their outward lives, there is significant potential for people to be blackmailed and controlled once compromised.

With the above in mind I would like to share a video with readers here.

The video is on a strange youtube channel called London Real

It has recently had content removed for providing fake information about coronavirus and 5G conspiracies via an interview with David Icke

link to news article here
www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/apple-spotify-david-icke-podcast.html

The video readers might be interested in is with the founder of the School of Life, the philosopher Alain de Botton. The School of Life ia a fascinating organisation with significant involvement from many psychotherapists of concern to me, including Valerie Sinason and her associates.

Camila Batmanghelidjh of Kids Company notoriety was also very involved with the School of Life at one point and has connections to Sinason et al.

Anyway here de Botton talks about unusual / unconventional sexual practices and fantasies, what are nowadays referred to as "kink"

My concern is not so much with his position on unPC sexual fantasies / activities but with the company he keeps in terms of the therapists involved with the SoL and with the youtube channel London Real

Readers who would like to check out just how weird London Real is, should check out the contributions from pseudo-Taoist controversial businessman and vaginal jade egg promoter “Grandmaster” Mantak Chia.

This one on "How to Master the Vagina" is comedy cold, the man has absolutely no idea about female anatomy

I really, really needed to read this. Having a shit day with work, people and life in general... It really cheered me up to read something that summarised how I feel so articulately. She writes bloody well, doesn't she?

If you’re in your bedroom or other private place with one or more consenting adult, fill your boots.

If you’re bringing your kink into the public domain, then you’re involving other people, including potentially children, in your sex life without their consent and you can fuck off to the outer suburbs of Fuckoffsville with that shite.

mummy, why is that man crawling around on the ground dressed up like a dog

THAT'S A REAL DOG YOU LITTLE BIGOT!

I think people who get off by acting out horrors that real people have been subjected to should feel shame about that, particularly the ones who inflict real pain on other people, whether they have consented to it or not.

Otherwise, as long as you keep it to yourself, meh.
