Edging, scenarios of all kinds, SM, all these kinks liven up the lives of French men and women. Axelle de Sade, our guest, writes in her book, kinks are a term whose “modernity frees it from the stereotypes and stigmas associated with deviant sexualities”. Kinks are therefore more and more shared and less and less judged.
How did it become cool to have kinks? Are there good kinks and weird kinks? How do we know what kinks us? This is what Zoom Zoom Zen will decipher over the course of an hour.
With aXelle de Sade, co-author of the essay: Kink, Manual of Sexualities creative by Éditions Anne Carrière.
Axelle de Sade welcomes mainly women to her school, 80%. For her, this is because women often have the good student syndrome: “They need to know everything before embarking on a practice. While men think they know.”
The origins of Kink
As the editor-in-chief, Cyril Lacarrière, reminds us, originally, a kink is a nautical term which comes from Dutch, it means winding a rope, and it dates back to the 17th century. It is therefore a nautical term which has drifted towards sexuality. But initially, it is also a term from American slang to describe the perverted and the vicious in a pejorative way.
The term Kinky, we owe it to an Austro-Hungarian psychiatrist, Richard von Krafft-Ebing at the beginning of the 20th century. He is considered the father of sexology. In 1886, he published Psychopathia sexualisa book where he defines sexual perversions and in particular sadism and masochism. At that time, anything that fell outside the scope of so-called normal sexuality was seen as a perversion. Unsurprisingly, among these deviances, we find homosexuality but also the link between pain and sexual pleasure.
As for Kink, it was in the 60s that it appeared with more lightness. Axel de Sade, guest on this show, writes in her book: “It is a term, whose modernity frees it from the stereotypes and stigmas associated with deviant sexualities.”

Consent, a new factor in the world of Kink
As Axelle De Sade explains, Kink is a set of desires and sexual practices that go beyond the ordinary and genitality to take care of the whole body and especially the first sexual organ, the brain. : “The Kinks have always existed, there have always actually been sexual practices that were out of the ordinary, that is to say penetration. The Kinks were stigmatized in particular by Richard von Krafft-Ebing. Since the 1980s, they are no longer considered as perverts requiring therapy, nor as people engaged in illegal activity since the European Court of Human Rights recognizes sexual autonomy and the right to engage in practices that can resort to pain. What has changed recently in its practices is the notion of consent.”
