Mara Vance

Kink educator

Mara has spent most of a decade running beginner workshops and writing the kind of plain-English material she wanted when she started. She is unromantic about safety, allergic to mystique, and believes most bad scenes trace back to a conversation nobody had. She writes the consent, negotiation, limits and risk guides here.

Experience: Around ten years in the scene; runs beginner workshops and negotiation clinics.

Writes on: consent, negotiation, BDSM safety, limits, aftercare
