Midori

Midori is a sexologist, kink educator, and author. Her reputation as a leading authority on alternative pleasures comes not just from her ability to teach immediately practical skills, but from her knack for distilling complex matters of desire into lessons that are accessible, eloquent, and deeply human. She’s known for tackling challenging topics with fresh, relevant insight. She calls this her “head-heart-hands” method, a way of teaching that makes room for real individual self-exploration. She’s motivated by helping people build authentic, intimate relationships rooted in self-actualization, joy, play, rich life experience, and empowerment.

She is the founder of ForteFemme Women’s Dominance Intensive and Rope Dojo, and the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, the first English-language book on Shibari, along with Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink. She serves as Curriculum Director for the Kink Informed Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance, training therapists and wellness professionals in kink-aware care, and contributed the chapter “Destigmatizing BDSM Through Education: Challenges, Mindset, and Strategies” to the award-winning Fundamental Concepts and Critical Developments in Sex Education.
