This is going to be a multi-part series. I'm not sure how many parts there will be yet, but at least three because it's gotten long and detailed.
Some of this may seem basic to those of you who have been playing for a long time, but if nothing else, it might show you how things have changed since you entered your first kinky dynamic.
The newer generations of adults are learning about kink earlier and getting involved in playing earlier too. This includes Millennials, the youngest of which are at least twenty-six now, and the oldest members of Generation Z who have been adults for five or six years already.
A lot of things have changed and will continue to change as they come in. Overall I think the updates have been good. There is more focus on safety and conversation than there used to be.
And just to be clear… the BDSM world as a whole has always pushed for safety. The Millennials didn't invent this coming in. Safewords have been around for a long time.
But… previous generations and elder Millennials didn't have the same access to learning materials that we have now. When people logged online in the early 90's there weren't hundreds of lifestyle blogs around where they could get the facts. And the sexuality section at the local bookstore was restricted to like… three books (Which we'll discuss soon!)
