tOuch Kink: Reframing BDSM
Princess Aurora brought this documentary to my attention, it features no less than two former Mansion dommes. Did you spot how the title acknowledges the ouch in touch 🙂
Todd Max Carey’s tOuch Kink (2023) is a documentary that dives head first into the colourful, complex world of BDSM and fetishism. Guided by the inspiring January Seraph, Carey reveals the humanity behind kink, blending education with empathy. We are introduced to an unforgettable cast: Grace, a suburban soccer ‘mum’ whose unexpected journey into dominatrix territory upends her ordinary life; Robin, a Texan living a double life under a dominatrix’s command; and Mistress Evilyne, a prodom battling societal scorn. At the centre is January Seraph, a radiant force whose influence inspires women to embrace their hidden power, anchoring the film with her legacy of strength and liberation.
The film explores the kink community’s history, celebrates liberation and consent, and challenges stereotypes. Born from a chance meeting with Seraph and backed by Whiplr; Carey’s journey, spanning California to Montreal, overcame personal and global hurdles. This documentary peels back layers of secrecy, revealing the humanity behind kink. Grace, Robin, and Evilyne aren’t caricatures, they’re relatable souls boldly exploring their desires, offering glimpses into their private worlds with courage and vulnerability.
Carey crafts an inviting narrative, blending education with empathy to welcome all viewers, (though its mature rating acknowledges the adult themes within.) He spotlights negotiation and aftercare, debunking myths and showcasing kink’s potential to deepen bonds. Touch Kink is a tribute to resilience, diversity, and the power of understanding, inviting viewers into the bold, wonderful consensual world of kink.
