THE KINK CONSULTANT - CONSENT, INTIMACY AND TRUST - AMANDA DAMES

Are you ready to explore desire without shame while making conversations around intimacy more approachable and rooted in consent and trust? Join us with Sexologist and Dominatrix Amanda Dames aka The Kink Consultant as we open up the taboo topic of kink, BDSM and emotional safety. We dive deep into our fears of judgment and rejection and discuss why shame and secrecy is so prevalent around the topic of kink and BDSM. Amanda brings grounded perspective to these conversations and helps understand how honesty and clear communicated desire can strengthen intimacy and trust. And also, we get into the fetish of spanking and punishment. **GUEST: Amanada Dames**  **BIO:** AMANDA DAMES, aka The Kink Consultant, is a sexologist, Somatica® Certified Sex and Relationship Coach, podcast host, and former NYC Dominatrix specializing in kink, intimacy, and communication.
