Here are links to 700+ articles, instructional videos and audio recordings, concerning kink/leather/fetish history, advice, hard and soft skills, and so forth. Many articles are by me, but I have also included juicy and valuable wisdom from others, who are clearly identified.
The goal of these links is to support others in becoming wiser, more skilled, and more accepting of themselves and others. Ideally, I’d love to save folks several decades of guessing, and learning the hard way.
Enjoy!
