In a previous episode, we learned about the pleasure of submission so it’s only right to learn about dominance as well. My conversation with Venus Cuffs, Domme and BDSM consultant, gets a little heavy as we discuss overcoming challenges like racial trauma and lack of safe mentors to find the best way to connect to your inner dominant. She also highlights some major benefits of being a Domme like always having a clean home, which is something I can totally get with.   Indulgence Nichole recommends weird smells and James Joyce’s eproctophilic love letters!   Guest Venus Cuffs is a Domme, BDSM educator, HBIC, nightlife personality and nightlife producer. This “Nightlife Mogul” (Paper Magazine 2019) has taken nightlife spaces and transformed them in NYC. Her events/classes are consent driven and welcoming to all.   Sponsors - Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service that finds and delivers clothes, shoes, and accessories to fit your body, budget, and lifestyle.
