...and she specializes in sensual domination, kink, and fetish. I'd definitely give her a look!
As for books, there are a million. SM101, Screw The Roses, Give Me The Thorns... Look those up on Amazon and see what it suggests.
Good luck!
genuineness and a willingness to learn & explore are awesome traits in BDSM.
check out fetlife.
it will be a good resource.
Also, the bdsm landscape is more vast and twisting than people can even imagine. Go slow, learn your limits and find people who will respect them, try new things out, figure out what you like.
something else to keep in mind: there are many bdsm communities, and it's easy to think/assume that's all there is- but there is always more.
fetlife though is always a great place. I'm not on there myself anymore (professional competition carfishing& stalkers) but many people find a whole new world for themselves in their.
any questions or safety concerns, feel free to contact me direct, my emails on my website. (it's not worth it for me in this locale to pay for premium TER&get pms) hell, I remember being a newbie-lotsa mistakes, lotsa people lick their lips looking at you thinking of dinner. (total predator bait)
good luck, have fun, play safe
