Midori is one of the best and most well-known educators in the BDSM scene. Although she’s long been known as one of the first people to teach Shibari in the U.S., her knowledge on kink etiquette and ethics is virtually encyclopedic. In her Consent Dojo video series, she digs deep into the realities of negotiation and respecting consent in BDSM, sex, and every-day contexts. In each episode, she brings on a different educator to converse for a full 90 minutes about the nuances of consent, kink, and community.
“When you play with power,” Sam Jones writes, “you have to communicate, it is vulnerable and therefore very, very intimate.” She works hard in her videos to help others find that intimacy, especially through the act of submission. Going through her channel alone could give you an impressive education, touching on everything from how to do a striptease to exploring figging.
