In this episode of Working Out the Kinks, Jazzy and Maima sit down with Coach Felyne, BDSM and kink educator and creator of Trauma-Informed Consensual Kink, for a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about consent. Because consent isn't always as simple as saying yes or no. It's a layered conversation shaped by communication, power dynamics, personal boundaries, lived experiences, and the ability to recognize what we truly want versus what we feel pressured to accept. Together, they explore the deeper layers of consent within BDSM and kink, including consensual non-consent, trauma-informed practices, and why asking “Did they say yes?” may not tell the whole story. Coach Felyne breaks down the differences between wanting, being willing, tolerating, and enduring, while highlighting how communication styles, trust, and power dynamics can influence the way we negotiate and experience intimacy. Drawing from her journey from Mississippi and the Deep South into the BDSM community, Coach Felyne shares how her experiences, advocacy, and the perspectives of Black women helped shape her approach to consent education. The conversation also connects kink to everyday relationships, social justice, self-awareness, and the ways we navigate boundaries and access to one another, both inside and outside the bedroom. Tune in for an insightful, eye-opening conversation about BDSM, consent, trauma-informed kink, boundaries, communication, and relational power that may have you rethinking how you approach your own relationships and interactions. Because consent isn't just about getting a yes. It's about creating the space for people to express what they genuinely want, need, and feel safe enough to communicate.
