Curriculum Vitae

Humans learn best by experience & repetition. Some people are experts in science, others music, others sport.

I am an expert in BDSM, sexuality & Tantra. I focus my attention on human psychology, sexuality, embodied practices, especially in the hidden power of sexual exploration.

“Look at all my toys and diplomas!”, said the exhibitionist sapiossexual.

Since high school, I was already digging into philosophy, metaphysics, and human behavior. At university, I expanded into more sexual research, ranging from the  philosophy of love to neurochemistry of sensual attraction and the therapeutic benefits of consensual S&M.

I follow a purple path style of learning (link to red/purple path), where I find my teachers through a myriad of workshops, courses, retreats, books (link to library), audio lectures (link to YouTube) and real life interactions (link to Friends). My path isn't clearly delineated. I follow my instinct- my KinkTuition- using curiosity and sensual desire as a guide into my next steps. Call me sapiosexual (link), but heck, I get genuinely turned on by knowledge & learning!

I share here the courses I took, so that you may also enjoy them as it suits your kink journey.

And remember, walking the path will teach you more than watching the path.

Trust your process. Make it happen.

The Kink Conductor


Even though I can't play any musical instruments or remix tunes, I love music to surround me, inspire me, and lead me to other worlds.
Kink is like music. So even if you know nothing about it, you can still benefit from my "compositions". You can feel the rhythm of BDSM instruments and allow yourself to drift into submissive bliss. You can follow the Tantric tunes beyond our mundane existence. And if this physical music wakes something in your body, there is always more to learn. Trust your kink journey- your KinkTuition will guide you there.
