Alexandra Franzen: "sometimes you have to endure temporary discomfort to achieve something truly amazing"

and some of our better quotes: "I have to balance my own body's needs with what the world needs from me." -Kate "Even if you're structurally and systematically disempowered in the world it can be really calming and empowering in its own way to give up power to someone else…" - Kate "Kink has helped me release a lot of shame about needing or wanting other people's help and support." -Kate

"What if you use kink as a space to practice having power that you don't have in the world?" "When you become somebody else's employee, that's a consensual power exchange relationship." --Leela

"People will do almost anything to avoid talking to their partner about a thing that they want if they have shame about it…" -Kate
