About this listen
A deliciously subversive and endlessly informative celebration of “kinky f*ckery,” as told by a lifelong student of kink and fetishism
Neither a how-to guide to getting it on nor a collection of sensational erotica, Superfreaks is instead an empathetic journey into the widely misunderstood world of kink. Lifelong practitioner and student of “kinky f*ckery” Arielle Greenberg draws on her study and teaching of BDSM and fetishism to
- introduce kink’s history and trailblazing kinksters like Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Mollena Williams-Haas, and Tom of Finland
- explain the science behind sexual fetishes
- delve into the psychology behind power exchange
- parse the politics of sexual deviance
Superfreaks is an accessible, interactive. and raunchy experience that invites the listener to engage their kinky curiosity. Written with folks of all genders and sexual orientations in mind, the book features resources like
- quizzes listeners can take with their partners to help assess sexual compatibility
- sidebars with lists of kinky representation in literature, film, music, and more
- an A-to-Z glossary of kinky gear, from collars and floggers to zentai suits and beyond
Superfreaks challenges and dismantles longstanding myths about kink perpetuated by pop culture phenomena like Fifty Shades of Grey and 365 Days. In doing so, Greenberg names the systemic marginalization kinky people experience and argues that we must build a society that accepts and celebrates sexual diversity of all kinds. The book also affirms the importance of consent and not “yucking someone’s yum”—key concepts inherent to the practice of kink that are essential building blocks for safer, more inclusive sex.

Story
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers.

Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

Story
Sexual activity is central to our very existence; it shapes how we think, how we act and how we live. With advances in technology come machines that may one day think independently. What will happen to us when we form close relationships with these intelligent systems? Sex robots are here and here to stay, and more are coming. This audiobook explores how the emerging and future development of sexual companion robots might affect us and the society in which we live. It explores the social changes arising from emerging technologies and our relationships with the machines that may someday care for us and about us.

Story
So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.

In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love.

We'll get to yours..
I may have started reading this looking for a form of validation -- a self exploration that would be fraught with confirmation bias payout towards fetishism being celebrated. And it absolutely does this in spades, but there were plenty more positive insights along the way.
This book is indeed a celebration of fetishism. Leaving no stone unturned, just about everything under the sun, and underground, is covered here. If not directly, then through proximity with whatever kink or paraphilia you may have walked in here with.
Much of this is an explanation of fetishes that have enough popularity that they deserve a form of recognition. They're then usually followed up with something along the lines of "And that's okay, too".
The narrator has the perfect voice for this. I feel like I'm being talked to by a friend who's "been there before".
I was expecting, or perhaps hoping for, more forms of psychological research into fetishes. But I realize that there really isn't much to go on at this point in the field. Greenberg does go over enough science and research to be satisfied though.
I listened to this book alongside my partner, and we both found ourselves more supportive and open to possibility afterwards.
Do yourself a favor and look on the kinky side. You won't be disappointed.
