When I was a baby submissive back in the early 2000s, I was eager to learn. I'd read a few books about BDSM over the previous decade, and as I entered my first serious D/s dynamic, I was starving for more.

Unfortunately, I did something pretty stupid. Because I was in an ongoing dynamic (with, it turned out, an extremely inexperienced dominant), I let my dominant guide not just our relationship but my education. I read the books she wanted me to read, and she forbade me from reading others. I avoided local classes because of her anxieties.

I was young, I didn't know better, and I truly believed that her authority in our dynamic extended to my whole relationship with BDSM and kink.

That was a profound mistake. One of the first things I did after leaving that relationship was demolish the funhouse-mirror image of kink I'd built and start over.

Ever since, one of my core approaches has been to listen to as many voices as I can. Voices I agree with, voices that challenge me, voices I respectfully disagree with, and maybe even a few I judge a bit in my head. I've very intentionally used my own experiences and journey in kink as a sounding board to figure out what's right for me — and what might be right for others but not for me.

I've taken the same approach as we've built education at Wicked Grounds. I never wanted this to be the "Miriam Green show." I wanted a showcase for the best minds in kink education, all working to figure this out together.

That's one of the reasons we're so proud to be part of this year's Kink Bundle from Dom/Sub Dynamics. Like us, Dom/Sub Dynamics works hard — through their conferences, bundles, and other resources — to bring a wide variety of voices to the table. You get all those perspectives, and that's just the start of plotting your own journey.

When I finally got serious about building my own kink roadmap, I probably spent hundreds of dollars in the first year alone building a library, taking classes, going to events, and attending my first conferences. This week, the Kink Bundle from Dom/Sub Dynamics gives you a far bigger set of resources — valued at over two thousand dollars — for just $99.

Whether you're new to your journey or just looking for a transformation, I urge you to check it out. The offer is live through next Wednesday, but why not take a look now and see how you might broaden your horizons?

Warmly,

Mir
