I love to read! I have a stack of BDSM specific books, but I also really enjoy manga (I have a physical collection of Junji Ito’s works along with Chainsaw Man). Yoko Ogawa is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve been enjoying Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh, Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami, and Sexuality Beyond Consent by Avgi Saketopoulou. My favorite poem is A Prayer That Will Be Answered by Anna Kamienska. I often find that, even when reading something non-kink or specifically BDSM related, I’m always finding new little ideas and trigger points for my subs. A character that is particularly tortured over his love of an unavailable woman, a grotesque fight scene, a pointedly scathing dialogue. There’s inspiration no matter where I go.
