As of the past year, though, I have been wondering about where/when and how kinksters, at the local, national, and even global level, are going to get back to their naughtiness (if they will at all), so I checked in with some folks I knew who would have a good perspective on the future of kink groups, players, and BDSM culture in general.

Shit, I don’t know. I don’t hold lots of hope for us and our monkey brains. Look at how stupid we are when it comes to the addiction we have to our cell phones; life passes us all by all the time, and we don’t even care to lift our heads to notice. We tend towards that which is easiest and that which we can control instead of trying to scale the real difficult hurtles (like living life) and being humble enough to realize we can’t do everything.
