Aftercare: The Softer Side of BDSM

Sometimes, aftercare is overlooked but it is actually one of the most important parts of engaging in kinky play. In this episode, we talk a lot about what aftercare is, why it's important, and how it can look for different people. We share our own needs as well as ways to make it special for you! Bottoms and submissives aren't the only ones who need aftercare and we talk about why it's important for tops and Doms too. What if your needs don't line up with the person you're playing with? Don't worry, we got you. We share some tips and tricks for helping to come down from playing including what to have in your aftercare kit, how to create a nice "cool down" space, words of affirmation, and so much more. We also delve into what this practice looks like for us, as professionals in the adult industry as it relates to real time sessions with our clients.

Whether you're vanilla, just coming into the scene, or a seasoned veteran, this is a great conversation filled with ideas on how to make sure everyone walks away from a shared experience feeling positive.
