Abstract
This essay merges memoir and scholarship to explore three intersecting narratives: one in which the author is temporarily entrapped in domestic violence, one in which the author finally accepts her queer sexuality, and reflections on Jeremy Bentham’s eighteenth-century interventions in ‘sexual irregularities,’ to use his phrase. The author especially explores dynamics of power, particularly that of perceived submission’s subversion into power in consensual acts, and she asks us to consider why we still render dominance/submission kink as illegitimate or taboo.
