Is cinema sexy again?

I'm trending remarkably vanilla, but this is interesting: Is cinema sexy again? How 'Babygirl' is inspiring important conversations about kink

“I think that Babygirl does an excellent job of portraying two people, new to BDSM/kink, trying to understand and act on their desires,” Dr. Stefani Goerlich, a clinical sexologist and award-winning author, says.

“Unfortunately, it does an excellent job of showing the risks, dangers, and pitfalls of trying to stumble into kink - without calling them out as such in the film. So the end result is a film that accurately depicts the ways in which people new-to-BDSM can get themselves into trouble (physical and emotional) but it is NOT a positive portrayal of BDSM, because it shows these negative outcomes without critical analysis or discussion of how to do things correctly.”
