I'm a 90s baby that got into watching the show at the start of quarantine in 2020. I live in the UK, and I grew up near North London (I sound like Giles!). I have a BA in Ancient History and a MA in Museum Studies but right now I'm unemployed and a full time home maker. I've really been inspired by all of the amazing stories here and the wonderful community I've found.
I ran my universities fetish society and have extensive experience in sex Ed and kink safety, feel free to ask questions about anything.
