A Few Quick Guidelines:
🩺 Share personal experiences, not medical diagnoses.
(You can recommend resources but avoid presenting yourself as a healthcare provider unless you are one.)
🩺 Approach sensitive topics (mental health struggles, trauma recovery, disabilities, etc.) with deep respect and compassion.
🩺 Use content warnings where needed, especially for discussions around trauma, self-harm, or medical issues.
🩺 Encourage seeking professional help when appropriate — we can support each other, but we’re not substitutes for licensed care.
✨ Why This Forum Matters
Kink and fetish can be powerful parts of self-expression — but they exist alongside the realities of our physical bodies and emotional journeys.
Recognizing our limits, honoring our needs, and embracing support are signs of strength, not weakness.
At Bijou Essentials, we believe that taking care of yourself is essential to taking care of your exploration, your partners, and your community.
Your story matters. Your health matters. You matter. 💎
