I had the pleasure of attending Richard Sprott’s lecture on the medicalization of BDSM at last year’s Shibaricon, which is why I’m passing along this request:
There have lately been extremely active discussions taking place within the leather/BDSM/fetish/kink community advocating for more fundraising for organizations, projects and causes specific to that community.
The Community-Academic Consortium for Research on Alternative Sexualities (CARAS) promotes serious academic research and professional education about alternative sexualities and polyamory. This work ultimately improves the
lives of everyone in the leather, kink, BDSM and polyamory communities.Money is desperately needed to continue this important work.
Please consider donating to CARAS, either individually or through fundraising efforts. You’ll find the CARAS donation page here:

Thank you for supporting CARAS!
