How not to learn about kink, from my own experience!

September 18, 2026 By Miriam Green

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
