Please join us for episode 48 of Open Deeply with the legendary kink expert, Midori, as we explore pleasure within BDSM. We start off the interview discussing her Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive called Forte Femme in which her teachings go to the core of BDSM and even takes a step beyond kink to include profound truths about human sexuality and power that impact our daily lives. Then Midori goes on to stress the importance of finding out the tells our partner has within a BDSM scene that reveal whether or not they are happy. Our tells in the sub role are often easy to determine, but what about the Domme role? That’s way harder to define! Midori also goes over some of her pet peeves within BDSM and what ideas within BDSM that she might feel are bullshit or toxic. Finally, Midori tells us a out her performance art that is a delicious combination of her Japanese roots, BDSM, social commentary, and generally mind fuckery. This is an incredibly fun and thought-provoking episode, so we hope you join us as we once again, dare to Open Deeply.
