PRESENTERS:

Mel (he/him) is an Argentinian trans masc aligned gender fluid sex and BDSM educator. He is the co-founder of Kinky Vibe Argentina, a collective based in Buenos Aires that hosts events, support groups and workshops for the kinky, queer and neurodivergent community both online and offline. Lifestyle kinkster, he has been doing kink for the last ten years, identifies as sub-leaning switch, and is a sex worker (ProDomme).

One of his greatest passions is thinking about power, risk, and self-consent in the context of kink, and spending most of his time accompanying people on their kinky journey. He has been teaching about kink, pleasure, risk, and depathologization for the last nine years.

Memi (he/him) is an Argentinian trans masc person, who is a lifestyle kinkster, a history teacher, and an early-career researcher in the history of sexualities. He has been doing kink for almost a decade in a wide variety of kinks, relationships, dynamics, and sides of the slash. He is very curious about power, oppression, and the complex history behind kink, the space where didactics and kink meet, and loves to be a kink enabler to everyone around.
