In the fascinating podcast “Turns Out I’m Into It,” Harley Rabbit, a somatic sexologist, invites listeners to delve into the world of kinks and uncover the stories behind them. With a background in music, Harley has developed a unique perspective on the connection between creativity and sexuality, which led her to pivot her career towards sexology. After completing her core training with the Somatica® Institute, she is now preparing to finish her advanced training in March 2025. Through her podcast, Harley not only shares her own journey but also interviews guests who provide insights into their unique kinks, experiences, and the psychological aspects that intertwine with their desires.
One of the primary reasons Harley started her podcast was her belief that everyone has a story to tell when it comes to kink, and sharing these stories helps normalize the spectrum of healthy sexual desires. By talking to guests from all over the world, she shares their diverse knowledge and experiences with her audience, exposing them to safer practices and exciting new possibilities. Additionally, Harley aims to set a positive and realistic example for others navigating this world, showcasing the messy, less glamorous aspects that are an integral part of the journey.
When selecting guests for her podcast, Harley focuses on a variety of kink-related topics, including abduction play, ABDL, erotic photography, rope bondage, and many more. She also enjoys featuring “everyday kinksters”– individuals who are not experts but simply regular people exploring this world. This approach not only educates listeners about different kinks but also helps them understand that kink is a normal part of human sexuality and that many people share similar desires
Through her podcast, Harley has learned a great deal about the connection between kinks and psychology. One insight that particularly stands out is the connection between age play and nostalgic memories. Many individuals who enjoy age play find comfort and safety in their “little” persona, often connecting these experiences to their childhood and finding refuge from the stresses of adult life. Additionally, Harley frequently explores the therapeutic benefits of BDSM on trauma. While trauma survivors are not more likely to participate in kink, research shows that safe and consensual kink can help survivors gain a sense of resolution to their trauma or re-experience traumatic memories with a sense of agency and control.
On apersonal level, Harley regularly shares intimate details about her own journey in kink, including how her exploration of rope and submission helps her to let go of responsibility and connect with her body. She also speaks often about the effect that kink has had on herlong-term relationship, helping her and her partner create greater trust, intimacy, and communication. As a somatic sexologist, Harley provides valuable insights and education to her listeners while also highlighting the importance of respecting guests’ privacy and creating a safe space for open conversation. Her passion for uncovering the stories behind kinks and understanding the psychological aspects that drive individuals’ desires makes her podcast a captivating and educational experience for all who tune in.
