About Dom Groundwork
Dom Groundwork is an educational resource dedicated to providing accessible, affirming information about BDSM and power exchange dynamics with a focus on queer relationships.
Our Mission
We believe that healthy power exchange starts with education, communication, and mutual respect. Our mission is to provide clear, consent-focused resources that help people explore BDSM dynamics safely and meaningfully.
By creating resources specifically centered on queer experiences, we aim to fill gaps in traditional BDSM education that often assumes heteronormative dynamics or fails to address the unique considerations of LGBTQ+ practitioners.
Our Values
- Consent-Centered: We believe that meaningful consent is the foundation of all healthy BDSM practice. Our resources emphasize thorough negotiation, ongoing communication, and respect for boundaries.
- Inclusive: We create content that acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of bodies, identities, relationships, and experiences within the BDSM community.
- Accessible: We strive to make our educational materials approachable for beginners while still offering depth for more experienced practitioners.
- Evidence-Informed: We base our resources on a combination of community wisdom, psychological understanding, and best practices for physical and emotional safety.
- Non-Judgmental: We respect that there are many valid ways to engage with BDSM and power exchange. We avoid prescriptive approaches that suggest there's only one "right way" to practice.
Who We Are
Dom Groundwork was created by individuals passionate about providing educational resources for the BDSM community, with a specific focus on queer dynamics. We're not certified professionals or experts - just community members committed to sharing knowledge and creating resources that weren't readily available to us when we started our journeys.
Our content is created through research, community feedback, and personal experience. We strive to be accurate, inclusive, and helpful, but we're always learning and growing alongside our community.
A Note on Our Approach
We recognize that BDSM and power exchange can be deeply meaningful practices that allow people to explore aspects of themselves in unique ways. While we maintain a focus on education and safety, we also honor the profound personal growth, connection, and joy that these dynamics can bring to people's lives.
Get Involved
We welcome feedback, suggestions, and contributions from the community. If you have expertise to share or ideas for resources that would be valuable, please reach out to us.
We're particularly interested in expanding our resources to address the needs of underrepresented groups within the BDSM community and to cover topics that aren't adequately addressed in existing educational materials.
