HERE’S my problematique suspiciously kinkphobic opinion of the day: negative consequences of sexual domiatoin in kinks are exacerbated under capitalism due to financial power and should be criticized by anyone claiming to be anticapitalist. it’s easier to keep someone obedient in a sexual situation when you dominate them financially. this is one of the reasons my abuser was able to get away with sexual abuse—there’s no escape when you don’t have enough money to survive otherwise. the same is common for so many people in unstable living situations

i’m not making this up or anything, it’s extremely common. after watching the documentary tickled, on a wealthy man who exploited poor and often underaged people to make them participate in his fetish, I was reminded of this issue.

criticizing kinks and porn under capitalism in these situations is important. under a system like capitalism, the ‘voluntary’ aspect is often wiped out.
