First and foremost - "Sex work is real work!" - and that's just as true in the kink world as it is in the non-kink world.

Despite how things appear on the internet and in adult video content, explorations of kink are not just reserved for young 20-30-Somethings looking to express themselves and explore.

Like many other communities, kink communities do not exist in a vacuum. Because of this, concepts such as race (and even gender) can have an impact on the type of experience that someone may have when interacting with their kink community.
