Enneagram and kink: Obliteration, objectification, and the Sexual Instinct

Enneagram and Kink: Obliteration, Objectification, and the Sexual Instinct explores the deep psychological pull of BDSM through the lens of the Enneagram's sexual instinct.

Drawing insights from John Luckovich’s The Instinctual Drives and the Enneagram, this article unpacks the connection between kink, intensity, and self-discovery—challenging shame and embracing the raw, primal truth of desire.
