The Trouble with Sex
Kink versus BDSM: definitions and scope
Ashley defines kink as an umbrella term and explains BDSM's power-exchange focus and relative nature of kinks.
Join Dr. Tammy as she talks with LA based Dominatrix, Ashley Randall, aka Irreverent Femme, about the therapeutic benefits of erotic exploration, and how she uses BDSM, kink and fantasy to help her clients overcome shame, face their fears, and build greater trust, intimacy and pleasure into their relationships.
