289. Intimacy, Trust, and Consent: An Interview with Mona Darling, Kink Coach and Pro Domme

Summary: Amanda and I interview Mona Darling, who is a professional dominatrix, kink coach, BDSM mentor, and sexual adventure coach. She was introduced by Thien-Kim Lam - thank you, Thien-Kim! So first and foremost: content warning and trigger warning for explicit discussions of sexual kink, sexual practice, and rape fantasy. We talk about how she got her start and how her business works, including the differences between working at a house vs being an independent domme. We have a very interesting conversation about consent and personal motivations for exploring kink, and the struggles of being an introverted domme. Mona also shares advice for finding kinky resources near you, answers personal questions - and gives advice for using erotic literature with your partner(s).
