Autor

Colton Aoki was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, where the powerful landscape of volcanic creation and lush growth shaped his understanding of transformation and resilience. Growing up in a place where multiple cultures blend and coexist, he developed an early appreciation for diversity and the beauty of different ways of being in the world.

After leaving the islands to pursue his education in psychology and human sexuality, Colton found himself drawn to the intersection of identity, desire, and community. His work as a sexuality educator and kink-aware professional has taken him across the country, leading workshops and building bridges between diverse communities.

Drawing from his Hawaiian roots, Colton brings a unique perspective to discussions of kink and sexualityone that honors tradition while embracing growth and change. His approach combines the Hawaiian values of kuleana(responsibility) and malama (care) with contemporary understandings of consent, power, and pleasure.

As a queer man of mixed Japanese and Native Hawaiian ancestry, Colton is passionate about creating resources that center marginalized voices and experiences. When not writing or teaching, he can be found tending to his collection of rare plants, singing at the karaoke bar, or swimming in whatever body of water is closest.

He currently divides his time between Hawaii and the mainland, building connections between kink communities and creating spaces where authentic exploration is welcomed and celebrated.
