									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From my work with the Erotic Blueprints, I&#8217;ve learned that people hold a tremendous amount of shame about their kink. It takes courage to both state and receive one&#8217;s kinky pleasure. Also, people feel like they&#8217;re the only one who likes something kinky but feel better about their kink once plugged into a community of like-minded individuals.</p>
