A sixty year old man retrieved memories of sexual grooming from ages 6 to 8 by a family practicing BDSM. This included parents, two teen age girls and a peer. He became asexual until entering an affair in which he accessed his sexuality through being loved, creating a contrast with being sexually used.

What happens when love, trauma, and the world of BDSM intertwine?

In this deeply personal and unflinchingly honest account, a therapist explores her transformative and tumultuous relationship with a man haunted by the shadows of childhood sexual abuse. Together, they embark on an intimate journey of healing experienced through the lens of the erotic practices of BDSM and shared kinks, pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms while uncovering the depths of their emotional and sexual identities.

This book examines the fragile dance between love, trauma, and the complexities of kink, revealing how intimacy—both physical and emotional—can illuminate hidden wounds and catalyze profound transformation.

Raw, thought-provoking, and deeply human, Holding the Broken Pieces: A Story of Love, Kink, and Emotional Recovery is a testament to the power of connection, the courage to confront pain, and the possibility of growth through unconventional paths. The story offers bold exploration of the intersections between desire, healing, and the resilience of the human spirit.
