tOuch Kink: Review. By Richard Schertzer.
In Todd Carey’s splendor-filled BDSM documentary, audiences of young and old are introduced to the kinky and beautiful world of BDSM and sex work.
This documentary follows a few différent people that are a part of the BDSM scene and all are on their own différent path and having plenty of fun with what they are doing. The BDSM industry has so much rich history and is one of the oldest professions in the industry, which only proves why more people should respect their art and craft.
When it comes to Carey’s documentary and looking at the bare bones of it, Carey has a lot to be proud of. He was able to get into the hearts, minds and head spaces of the people actively interested and participating in the industry and giving them a platform to speak their peace, which is more than a huge feat in the endless attempts to help normalize sex work.
Moreover, the interviews and the film itself shed a much-needed light on the industry as they go over their history in kink and explain what BDSM is and how the domina and the sub conduct themselves when in this specific D/S (Dominant/Submissive) relationship. They show how intelligent and caring these dominas truly are to their submissives and they are not cold-hearted villains as the media might portray them.
While all of that is good, what Carey lacks is an outside perspective to the documentary. Carey talked to sex workers, which is fine, but that was the only thing that he talked about and the only type of people that he talked to. He never spoke with anyone outside of the industry that could stir a change or possibly provoke a dialogue to help change the laws and stigma surrounding sex work and their workers.
In conclusion, this documentary proves to be an incredible feat in educating BDSM-happy people even if it could have been a lot more than what has already been seen in other documentaries.
