Many scholars and advocacy groups believe that only this can be considered "complete declassification" of non-heterosexual sexual orientations as mental disorders.BDSM in the DSM: Thanks to tremendous efforts by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) the American Psychiatric Association (APA) announced in 2010 that it would be changing the diagnostic codes for BDSM in the next edition of the DSM (formally published in 2013 and integrated into practice in the years that followed). Trans Porn Statistical Analysis by State (USA): In 2022, Lawsuit.org issued statistical analysis to understand the love for transgender related porn by scraping daily Google search trend data, segmenting by DMA (metro area), and comparing search volume to both 2020 election voting trends, and public opinions about LGBT rights. "The data tells a tragic tale of self-loathing closet cases, Republicans who privately get off sexually to trans folks, while publicly trying to remove trans peoples' rights and stoking hate against them."

This week on KinkyCast, episode 471, celebrating the 9th anniversary of the show, we feature Susan Wright of the National Coalition of Sexual Freedom (NCSF). Woody and Susan discuss NCSF's program "Consent Counts", which aims to raise awareness about the importance of informed and enthusiastic consent in all sexual activities. The program focuses on educating individuals, communities, and organizations about the principles of consent and how to practice it in a respectful and responsible manner. Susan provides insight into the goals and initiatives of the NCSF and how “Consent Counts” fits into the larger mission of promoting sexual freedom and protecting the rights of consenting adults. https://www.kinkycast.com/archive/2023-archive/471---susan-wright---ncsf--.html
U.S. law interprets consensual kink activities as harmful, criminal acts. This makes prosecuting sexual assault cases within the context of BDSM difficult. How can you prove non-consensual sex occurred if kink isn't considered sex in the eyes of the law, it's assault? The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom/NCSF worked along with the American Law Institute to establish a legal definition of consent in kink. They just unveiled the New Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault: Affirmative Defense of Explicit Prior Permission for use of force and restraint with sexual contact. On ep 185 of American Sex Podcast, the NCSF's Susan Wright & BebeBlueEyes explain how this gives legal power to sexual assault survivors, how it'll be adopted state-by-state, about the new consent model EPP/Explicit Prior Permission & why implementing it as community standard is integral to changing case law, what you can do to help, how the NCSF can assist you with criminal sexual assault cases involving consensual kink, and more. If you're kinky this is a MUST LISTEN--you need to know how the legal definition of consent is changing.

She currently chairs the Consent Counts Committee that worked with the American Law Institute on the new Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault to create Section 213:10: Affirmative Defense of Explicit Prior Permission for use of force and restraint with sexual contact.

Susan Wright, founder and spokesperson for the National Coalition on Sexual Freedom (NCSF) chats with Meagan Ingerman about the NCSF’s Consent Counts campaign, how it has been received by police and prosecutors, and what people with “vanilla” sexual interests have to learn about consent from the kink, BDSM, fetish, leather, and non-monogamy communities. The post Consent Counts appeared first on Prostasia Foundation.
Welcome to episode 145 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I’m pleased to welcome Elizabeth “Liz” Newsom, LCSW to the podcast. In this episode she speaks to me about using BDSM as a form of self-care and finding your healthier self, and provides recommendations on where to get started. Elizabeth “Liz” Newsom, LCSW, is a sexuality/intimacy therapist/educator specializing in working with individuals who identify as kinky and/or consensually non-monogamous (poly, swingers, etc.); those who identify as gender non-conforming and/or have questions about sexuality; as well as those who need assistance with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, communication/anger/intimacy issues and much more. In addition to standard individual, family and relationship counseling, Liz is currently expanding her practice to include supervising and training new therapists with her sex positive inclusive therapeutic approach. For the last few years she has been providing community/professional education regarding working with kinky clients, specifically with the intent of normalizing kink for professionals that work with kinky individuals and educating on the difference between domestic violence/assault and kink. Additionally, she has been providing support and education around parenting, relationship transitions, and co-parenting in the context of consensual non-monogamy. She is a member of several organizations including American Association of Sexuality Educators, Clinicians and Therapists (AASECT), World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA) and a board member with National Coalition of Sexual Freedom (NCSF). Questions Asked: How can you use BDSM as a form of self-care? What falls under the umbrella of BDSM? What are ways in which people will find their healthier selves through BDSM? Is it possible to find pleasure outside of your erotic template? How did Liz’s clients find body acceptance through BDSM? What are the first steps Liz would recommend doing?

Susan Wright founded the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom in 1997, and currently serves as Chairperson and Director of Incident Reporting & Response. Susan also serves on the advocacy committees for AASECT, the Kink Clinician Guidelines, the Kink Knowledgeable Program, and the Diverse Sexualities Research Education Institute. Susan has conducted six surveys on discrimination and violence against BDSM practitioners; consent practices and attitudes; and the mental and physical health of BDSM and non-monogamy practitioners that have been published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, Journal of Sexual Medicine, Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research, International Journal of Social Psychiatry, Journal of Trauma and Dissociation and Journal of Homosexuality. In this two part talk, we started by speaking about the reasons for founding the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom and the projects they have been involved in. Susan talked about the research that NCSF has done on BDSM, relationship styles, polyamory and consent and that these have been the largest surveys done so far. The research has demonstrated the psychological health of people involved in these alternative relationships and alternative sexual practices and was part of the evidence that caused the APA to modify the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders –V so that the vast majority of people practicing BDSM and/or polyamory no longer qualify for a diagnosis of paraphilia in relationship to their sexual and relationship choices. We spent a lot of time talking about consent incidents and how we as a community identify these, manage these and apply sanctions. Susan spoke about the groups that they work with. The NCSF has developed a framework and a lot of resources for community groups and businesses around defining and dealing with consent incidents. We spoke about the NCSF’s role in educating law enforcement, psychologists and other mental health professionals. NCSF hosts the Kink Aware Professionals list which is an international list of mental health professionals, medical doctors, lawyers and other professionals who are kink aware. The NCSF regularly educates professionals about BDSM and other alternative lifestyles and sexual practices. We spoke about how important it is for individuals to be educated about consent and that some of the research that NCSF has done has found that 75% of consent violations happen with people who are in their first 3 years of being involved with BDSM. We spoke about how individuals and groups handle consent incidents and the differences between someone making an error and someone being a repeat offender. We spoke about needing to get information first hand if you are to make a judgement on a situation and that one of the problems is that often people don’t have first hand information and are being asked to make a judgement. We spoke about liability for people organising events and conferences and how important education is to limit liability and that decisions around excluding someone from an event are often taken because of liability issues. NCSF has also educated people in the hospitality industry and made it possible for events and conferences to be held at these venues. We finished up recognising that we had not managed to cover all the topics we set out to cover and will be doing another show on custody and divorce soon. Susan Wright can be found at www.ncsfreedom.org Twitter @ncsf Facebook: http:www.facebook.com/NCSFreedom This week we talked about: Consent violations, consent definitions, education and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF). If any topics that we brought up caused you concern or triggered you, please write to me at drloribeth@atozofsex.com and I will help you find resources to resolve your concerns.
We mention the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) quite regularly on this podcast. On today’s episode, we’re speaking with the NCSF’s founder Susan Wright. Topics include the work the NCSF is doing, the current climate around kink and polyamory, and what to do if being kinky lands you in trouble. We also dive deep into that most critical of topics – consent.
