A lot of folks who might be curious about erotic humiliation avoid exploring it because, more than just about any other aspect of BDSM, it’s tied up in a long list of negative stereotypes about both the behavior and the people who engage in it.

Interested in Exploring Financial Domination… But Hate the Conventional Approach?

When you hear the words “financial domination,” what comes to mind? Likely, it’s the stereotypical, humiliation-focused variety, in which a dominant looks down their nose at the sub, demeaning and degrading them as a loser who’s good for nothing but coughing up the cash-no more than a walking wallet or a human ATM. For some…

How (& Why) I Make My Financial Domination Intensive as Accessible as I Can

Two of my staunchest beliefs about the work I do often stand in complete contrast to one another: First, that high quality educational resources should be accessible to everyone looking to earn a living as a sex worker.

Is Ethical Financial Domination Even Possible?

Recently I received this message in my Fetlife inbox. “Is Ethical Financial Domination even possible?” I’m always a bit surprised to hear this from fellow kinksters, though I shouldn’t be. Can’t that question be applied to everything we do? “Is ethical [your favorite kink here] even possible?  Someone who doesn’t understand how consent and context is critically…

Authentic Kink: Create Your Best Experience

Kinksters often have to depend on erotica and porn to learn what kink looks and feels like, but unfortunately that can create a lot of myths, misunderstandings, and accidental mistakes. BDSM is focused on activities, but just going through the motions won’t guarantee you’ll have a happy, healthy experience. It can take years (and plenty…
