    • First of all, paraphilias are not "sex." Psychiatry considers paraphilias a mental disorder of the psycho-sexual type. Psycho sexual disorders, including rape, pedophilia, fisting, are not benign -- even if consensual.

      Secondly, I suppose one can praise the family of kink as one praises the families of Mormon communes. If you don't respect humans for their intrinsic worth, you can always fetishize them. Make them into "objects of gratification." That is, after all, the essential meaning of fetishism.

      Thirdly, we appreciate Current for using this forum to show how sexual repression and religious fundamentalism manifest themselves aberrantly. If family deviance is valuable, then why not religious deviance? Holocaust ovens? Gitmo?

      Fourthly and finally, human sexuality serves one and only one purpose: reproductive success and perpetuation of the species. Fortunately, kink -- unlike homophilia -- has not been selected for by natural selection. We can hope that the failure to reproduce will expedite the extinction of kink, before psychiatry changes its mind, embraces pain for sexual gratification, displacement of human intimacy by "objectification," and the cruelty it creates.

      Now, if we can only remove religious dogmatisms that lead to such psychosexual displacements, we might enhance the human condition by breeding empathy, compassion, respect, and dignity of the human spirit, rather than the denigration, humiliation, and torture of the human flesh.

      If sex were meant for only making babies, then it wouldn't manifest itself in so many varieties. The fact that so much sex occurs with no intention of reproducing would indicate that there must be another purpose being served in the act. Such purposes may not be valid to some due to its deviation from one or belief system or another, but the legitimacy of a sexual encounter can only be determined by those engaged in the act and not those who exist outside of it.

      The premise of kink is that the parties involved are knowingly engaging in higher-risk activities involving physical sensations and psychological headspace. How "far" and how "hard" the exchange goes is up to the participants. Kink etiquette demands that the terms be pre-negotiated and that the goals and motivations are plainly stated. Those involved are of sound mind and take responsibility for their decisions and actions. That is not to say that people still aren't manipulative or have ulterior motives... or that some people are troubled and choose unhealthy methods of dealing with such problems... or that some will seek out such people and exploit the situation to serve dishonorable intentions, but these factor in to no greater degree in the kink community than in the "vanilla" community.

      Some people want to be objectified. They wish to be placed in a position where they have no will of their own and the make the choice to suspend "choice." When one crosses into that territory, they must have a considerable amount of trust in the one taking charge and making decisions for them. And to place such a great degree of trust is another person is a considerably intimate act, because it concerns not only your emotional well-being, but your physical safety. To earn that trust from another person is also incredibly intimate.

      Kink is not a place devoid of empathy or compassion or respect. If anything, it requires a much higher skill-level of communication between partners and greater attention to detail when it comes to taking care of one another. And as far as words like "torture" and "humiliation" go, there is a large difference between simulation within "play" and actually torturing someone. Real torture involves someone who is not there by choice, held against their will and subject to events they do not like and result in deep, emotional and psychological scarring. Torture-play in a kink context involves someone who is there of their own accord, often restrained with their consent and subject to events of which they enjoy immensely and result in fond remembrance.

      Kink is not the only example in which the human body is placed under physical duress. There are numerous Christian traditions involving fasting and self-flagellation. The native Americans had the Sun Dance. The Hindus have a ritual involving a man suspended from hooks along his body. I've personally witnessed a procession of devotees flogging their backs to the point of bleeding in order to become "closer" with God. I have my own opinion and interpretation of such religious rituals, but I also understand that the "purpose" is not for me to determine since I'm a non-believer and non-participant.

    • Very cool....

      Most families don't understand this way of life...but we do. We're Mother and Son, and Opal was a stripper for over 20 years....

      This is great....

    • This is a very interesting family. I wish it had comments from people from the community and actually family members who don't work there. That would of made it even more interesting. But good work.

    • i loved when this guy was running for SF mayor last year. this is so great to see this exposed. this is definitely something that you would not normally know about being in San Francisco. I really liked how the family explained their connections and inclinations to the whole thing. They all seem like really nice people!

    • The title of the piece is either 1) misleading or 2) pun-intended. I think that it is the latter. The name of the club - Power Exchange - is also a play on the owner's last name (Powers).

      As a subject, the pod is very interesting. It got all the right interviews and it shows the actual space. The idea behind the club itself is very controversial and so would benefit from greater public discourse. This pod got me questioning, "Is the creation of such sexual spaces beneficial and/or detrimental to society?"

    • Yeah, I think the title was a little misleading. I was expecting to see a kid in diapers playing in a child care area while his parents got frisky with another couple.

    • I think the title "Family Friendly" gives the wrong impression, it would have been better titled something along the lines of "Family Owned and Operated Sex Club" or "A Family Business".

    • Hey, a family that lives together gives pleasure together. You know at least they are supportive and just because you work behind the desk of a strip club it doesn't make you a stripper.
