Many of the more common rules and protocols in power exchange exist because of tradition. What do you do if tradition for tradition's sake just doesn't resonate with you? Instead of struggling to accept something that doesn't make sense for you, let's flip it on its head. Step through the looking glass with me to discuss evaluating rules and protocols from a different perspective - one that seeks to put feelings and desired outcomes above tradition.

Barbie is a queer, polyamorous, bottom leaning switch with a passion for the "why's" in life. She joined the Austin kink scene in 2018 as a rope bottom and quickly found that there was so much to learn! 

Over time, Barbie found she primarily identifies as an intense sadomasochist, a major brat, and her Sir's slave. In other words - a menace. She continues to seek as much education as she can on both hard BDSM skills and the more theoretical side of kink.

SADE is a not-for-profit kink and BDSM education initiative. We are committed to providing an inclusive, accessible, safe, and consent-focused education for everyone interested in power exchange and authority transfer dynamics. We vet all of our instructors for credibility and ethical standards, and support the community at large by donating proceeds to charity.

At SADE, we believe a quality education should be accessible by all. If you need a scholarship ticket, please email director.sade@gmail.com

If you are able to pay it forward and donate a larger amount, it is greatly appreciated and helps us continue to keep our classes available to everyone.
