Sister Paddleme’ Tooshie answers the HARD questions.
S.Seaman asked – (Great name by the way. I think I chose to answer this question based on your name.)
“I’m here in Seattle, and I’m just finishing up a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. A lot of grad schools require me to have volunteer or work experience in a “mental health field”, but obviously I’m not qualified to really do anything beyond peer counseling stuff. Eventually I’d like to have training in both clinical sexology and clinical psychology and work with the LGBTQ community, the kink community and other sexual minorities. Any ideas on where in town to apply for that sort of volunteer work?”
S.S.-
Well I have to ask this first, “What are your intentions?” If you are looking to help ‘cure’ the kink community – DON’T BOTHER! If you are looking to help kinky people with every day crap… Good for you. The first place to explore would be ‘The Wet Spot.’ The spot is a Sex-Positive Community Center. It is a safe, wonderful place to play and open up to the wilder side of life and possibly learn a new trick. “Who knew fisting could be so fun?”
There are other great community centers that I would definitely explore…
Click on any of these kinks and check them out.
- The Center for Sex Positive Culture (formerly known as The Wet Spot)
- LGBT Community Center
- Seattle Counseling Services
- Gay City
- Lifelong AIDS Alliance
Keep on doing what you are doing … asking around. I’m sure that this little list has already sparked other groups. Don’t forget to check out social groups as well.
~Flog you later,

If you are group out there that I did not mention, I’m sorry. I can only juggle so many penii at a time.
