BDSM Primer: A Woman's Guide to BDSM - Fetishes, Roles, Rituals, Protocols, Safety, & More

Elizabeth Cramer is a sex therapist, BDSM educator, and the author of several best selling sex education books including “131 Dirty Talk Examples,” “Make Her Orgasm Again and Again,” “Care and Nurture for the Submissive,” “Submissive Training (vol. 1-3),” “Dom's Guide to Submissive Training (vol. 1-3).”

While pursuing her interests in psychology at college, Elizabeth learnt how to critically read and analyze people. This included herself, which is why at 23, she dared to reach out and touch a darker corner that interested her, something people only joked about at parties. She was looking into BDSM, and found many different communities built on the topic. Cautiously, her account was created to shyly prowl around the forums and read what people had to say. 

It took eight months of lurking around on-line forums before Elizabeth finally picked up the courage to join her first meet-up. It wasn’t as awkward as she had thought, people were nice, encouraging, and it was like finding a new group of friends in which she could confide in about her slightly special preference. She embraced BDSM lifestyle fully and has never looked back since.

At age of 29, Elizabeth graduated with Master’s degree in psychology and earned certification for private therapy practice. While she was qualified in counselling for a variety of situations, she decided to focus on sex therapy. As a side business, she would speak as a part-time lecturer at her old university and others on the topic of sex education and human sexuality. 

While her practice flourishes, in her spare time, Elizabeth writes books to enlighten the public on alternative lifestyles. She has also authored several romance novels and erotica. 

In her personal life, Elizabeth and her Dominant partner have formed a perfect D/s relationship for over three years now. Though not yet married to him, she was able to find love in her life and still balance her work life.
