This is the beginning of a list of vetted BDSM and kink resources. This list is intended for educational purposes, not erotica or romance. Please feel free to message me with suggestions. Additions should be sites, podcasts or books you have used for educational purposes. You should have fully vetted the resource and it needs to be something you would recommend to a friend interested in BDSM and kink. This is not a listing of events, munches, hook-up or dating sites, erotica, porn or sales.
