I feel like people theorising the link between kinks and trauma often miss the point. You don't need complex theories to explain why someone is into a particular kink - it's just fun. What you need to explain is why people are stuck in a particular range of fun things.

I don't mean that it's "just fun" in the sense that it has no other emotional dynamics involved, I mean that the fun is a sufficient explanation for being into it.
As to what that means... it's a physically pleasurable creative social activity. What's not to like?

the way i interpret your language youāre talking as if fun is an intrinsic property of activities and that doesnāt make ontological sense to me. obviously some things are fun for some people and not others and thatās exactly the phenomenon under investigation

most of the common kink stuff is stuff i would not find fun personally, i donāt find pain fun, i donāt find degradation fun in either direction, etc. in my view thereās a lot to be explained here!

Do you also feel that there's a lot to be explained about why some people are into D&D and some people are into football?
