Kinksters of Color

KOC

Some conversations only happen in private. This is that one — kink, desire, power, and pleasure, talked about the way we actually talk about it. Not clinical. Not translated for an audience that was never us. Every week we get into it. The negotiation that saved the scene. The aftercare nobody warned you about. Subspace. Switch energy. The first time somebody handed you rope and you realized you wanted it. What it costs to be desired instead of collected. Two hosts who've lived it. Guests who've seen things. Stories that don't make it past the group chat.

    Years, toys and leather don't make you kinky

    "Am I kinky enough?" A full toy bag, $200-600 leather pants, years in the scene: none of it makes you more credible. One kink still counts. Jazz and Aquariaaa on who gets to call themselves kinky. Doing fire play and still asking "am I kinky enough?" Wanting to be a Dom doesn't make you one. No shame in the submissive game. Name one Black kink movie that isn't on Tubi. We'll wait. In the scene since 2008, and still trying things for the first time. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 "Am I kinky enough?" 00:25 Labels, years, pain, the outfit: who's really legit? 02:20 Big toy bag, big show, no clue 04:04 Head-to-toe leather: looking the part vs. being it 07:04 First and last time I let someone pressure me 08:21 Is it a challenge, or are you being pushed? 11:54 "You can't force a label" 13:58 Thought I was a sub. My friends clocked the switch. 16:18 Switches don't have to pick a side 18:52 "Am I really kinky, or just vanilla plus?" 22:28 Start small, and be patient with yourself 25:05 Two classic kinks? You've already arrived 27:19 Social media shows the extremes, not the mundane 28:56 Where's our Fifty Shades? On Tubi. 29:53 A sea of white, and BIPOC kinksters as an afterthought 32:12 Why we need teachers who look like us 36:02 Try it yourself first, so nobody has to push you 37:54 Finding a kink you never would have considered 40:37 Time in the scene isn't credibility 41:47 Be the demo bottom, take the class for free 45:22 At a con, anyone could be your teacher 47:32 In the scene since 2008, still finding firsts 53:12 No prerequisite, and it's okay to take a break 54:35 "You are enough.

    Why "I'm straight" was never the whole truth

    "You straight? Are you gay? Which one are you?" Picking a label under pressure, why bi doesn't mean flirting with you, and how desire changes. Storm, Aquariaaa and Jazz on sexuality that doesn't fit in one box. Told the family "I'm straight." Not a lie. Not the whole truth either. Asking a woman out and getting told where the outfit came from. Coming out as "not straight," and mom hearing something else entirely. Waiting until marriage is fine. Finding out after you jumped the broom is not. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 "Which one are you?" 00:14 I should have known I was in there too 03:02 Bi doesn't mean I'm flirting with you 05:12 "Then they got annoying" 05:56 "I got this from Shein" 10:12 Straight, then bi, then queer, then demi 13:57 Instant with men, slow burn with women 14:46 "Hurry up. Pick one." 18:32 "Don't be surprised if I don't marry a man" 24:15 "Eyes up. Look here." 27:03 "I'm a little curvy" 29:26 Thin in a city that likes it thick 33:15 "I felt like a gremlin in Boston" 33:54 Raised to think sex is a duty 35:40 Sex as a chore vs. sex as a pleasure 36:39 "You can only love one person." Says who? 38:52 Dropping the shame 40:10 Find out before you jump the broom 42:00 When your partner says no to your kink 44:43 "A massage will get me there fastest" 45:17 Fun fact: I make paddles now 🔔 Subscribe for more of these conversations 🔔 ⁠KOC Podcast CONNECT WITH US!

Join us in our kinky BIPOC community anywhere:Inner Circle Storm, Aquariaaa and Jazz on their first kink events and everything nobody hands you at the door.The flyer said "mixed." It meant three other POC.A babydoll dress in a sea of custom leather: cute, but not kinky enough.A man asked to be kicked as hard as possible. She told him she played soccer. He took that as a yes.And why one of us says being one of the few Black folks there made her the coolest one in it. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 "That's not diverse for us" 00:28 I thought it was going to be Spartacus 04:14 "People actually use all of this?" 06:39 "Kick me as hard as you can" 08:59 Cute, but not kinky enough 11:13 Don't be the one everybody smells 15:13 What "mixed" actually meant 25:35 Circling the new face like sharks 27:18 Be yourself.

    Nobody wants to be your first Black girl

    The difference between being desired and being fetishized, how to spot it inside thirty seconds, and exactly what to say back. Join the #1 kinky BIPOC community anywhere: kinkstersofcolor.com/inner-circle Storm, Aquariaaa and Jazz on the line between wanting somebody and collecting them. The tall one gets "I want to climb you like a tree." The short one gets "fun size." Neither is a compliment. The safety cue every top is trained to watch for — skin going red — does not show up on dark skin, so what are you actually looking for?

Chapters ⏱️00:00 — "I don't know you"04:04 — Wanting us is not liking us08:11 — "I want to climb you like a tree"13:39 — It's a no for me, dog15:50 — The drink that was meant to loosen her up21:34 — Two of us in the room is not diversity31:15 — My cheeks are not going to turn red36:56 — Nobody Black at your event?

    Nobody warns you that you can break somebody

    Heyyy 👋🏾💜 Storm, Aquariaaa and Jazz on vetting: the question that exposes a fake dom, why hesitation is a no, and the red flag that shows up after. This one came from yall. After episode one the questions kept landing on the same thing: what does vetting actually look like, and how are you supposed to know before you know? So we got into it. What we ask. What we watch for. Who we've removed and why. The party that took everybody's money and never happened. The bag full of toys and the man who couldn't name a single one. And the tell that says more than any of it, which doesn't show up until the scene is already over. Vetting isn't an insult. It's how everybody gets to have a good time. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Yes, women get removed too 04:19 If they hesitate, that's a no 09:28 Why we don't let everybody in 21:52 You can break somebody 30:55 They took the money and vanished 34:38 Mandatory is not consent 38:59 One question exposes a fake 40:11 He didn't know what it was called 48:10 The red flag is what happens after 💬 How do yall vet?
