There's a common misconception about kink-aware therapists, as if they engage in or show kinky activities during sessions. That's not true—your sex positive therapy sessions won't involve any nudity or sexual practices, whether it's in the therapy office or online. In your sessions, you and your Reunite therapist can chat openly about your sexual and kink experiences, addressing any feelings that come up during your exploration of kink. Schedule Today
What is Kink? What is a Fetish? What is the Difference?
Curious about kink and wondering what it entails? Kink is an umbrella term encompassing a range of unconventional or alternative sexual practices, interests, and fantasies that fall outside traditional “norms.” For instance, practices like bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, Sadism and Masochism (BDSM) fall under the category of kinks. What is considered kinky varies from person to person; some may view using sex toys as kinky, while others might see it as 'vanilla' or not kinky.
On the other hand, a fetish is something you need as part of your sexual experience. This could involve a specific act, such as having sex in a public setting, degradation, or a focus on an object, like feet or lingerie. Alone or with a partner, a person with a sexual fetish either needs to physically incorporate the fetish into sexual acts or fantasize (think) about the sexual fetish. Experiencing or fantasizing about the fetish is necessary to become sexually aroused, experience sexual pleasure, and achieve orgasm. For individuals with penises, the fetish is required to obtain an erection.
There is overlap between kinks and fetishes, and we understand the confusion. The primary difference between kink and fetishes is need. Kink is something you like to do, and a fetish is something you need for sexual pleasure. Sometimes it can be helpful to label or name sexual interests as a kink or fetish, and at Reunite, we encourage you to express your sexual interests. However, we will follow your lead when it comes to labeling.
At Reunite, we believe in providing non-judgmental and open-minded support for individuals exploring their sexuality or incorporating it into their relationships. We are here to help you navigate your unique journey, providing a space where you can freely express your desires, explore boundaries, and enhance your overall well-being.

Kink Relationship Therapy: When One Partner is Kinky and the Other(s) is/are Not
Exploring and understanding Kink and BDSM can empower everyone involved. Within therapy, all partners can jointly establish boundaries and agreements that resonate with the authenticity of their relationship and each person’s authentic self. Being open about your kinks can carry risks, judgements, and exclusion within society. It's crucial to have conversations on how to handle stigmas from society and collectively decide on a relationship dynamic that suits everyone. Kink-focused therapy facilitates these discussions, fostering understanding and strengthening the bonds within the relationship. Schedule Today
