I recently had the opportunity to contribute an article to the July issue of Sensuali Magazine about one of the foundations of ethical BDSM: safe words, consent, and aftercare.
Whether you are completely new to BDSM or already have experience, these are the practices that create the trust needed for deeper exploration. In the article, I share how I approach communication before, during, and after a session, why consent is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time agreement, and how aftercare helps bring an experience to a thoughtful close.
I’m grateful to Sensuali Magazine for creating space for conversations about BDSM and sexuality that go beyond stereotypes.

Take some time to explore the Sensuali website as well. In addition to the magazine, you’ll find experiences you can book, events to attend, and interviews with practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds. It’s a wonderful resource for anyone interested in sexuality, kink, relationships, and sex-positive culture.
