Wet Dreams and Demonic Kink: Liminal Erotics, Fluidity, and the Future of Sex

This paper argues that kink, understood not as sexual transgression but as an embodied practice of negotiating power, vulnerability, and pleasure, offers a critical site for theorizing "demonic possibilities": the capacity of liminal peoples to create joy, relationality, and livable worlds within and against systems designed to render them invisible. Drawing on Black studies, Indigenous thought, and queer theory, I propose that kink enacts a demonic ethics born from outside the dominant order, seeping through its fissures. The paper grounds this argument theologically, revealing how Christian moral frameworks imposed normative sexuality as a colonial project, and refuses to theorize kink as universally liberatory, instead attending to how race, gender, and coloniality shape access to erotic world-making. I offer demonic kink ethics as a framework that refuses the reproductive, marital, and national logics through which religious traditions have organized sexual meaning.
