Resources

This page is a dedicated spot where I will put all of the resources I have gathered in one central location.

I hope to make it easier for fellow curious minds like myself to dive into rabbit holes, provide support to worried friends or family, and/or mend relationships.

Whatever you use these resources for, I hope they are helpful and beneficial to you and your endeavors.

As a side note: I am not sponsored or provided with any monetary incentive by any organizations represented within these resources. I recommend that you practice media literacy when engaging with these resources, and I hold similar expectations when reading through my work. If you want me to add a resource to this page feel free to reach out via the Contact page. Thank you!

Stay safe, Stay curious, and if you are stay kinky!
