United States
Midori is an American BDSM educator, author, performer, and international lecturer widely recognised as one of the pioneering figures in contemporary FemDom education and consensual BDSM instruction. Since the early 1990s, she has taught workshops throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, becoming particularly influential through her emphasis on communication, negotiation, creativity, and psychological engagement rather than purely technical skill. Her educational work spans a wide range of subjects, including female dominance, rope bondage, erotic humiliation, role play, sensation play, and consensual authority exchange. Throughout her career, Midori has consistently encouraged participants to approach BDSM as an intentional, collaborative practice grounded in informed consent, emotional awareness, and mutual respect. Beyond teaching, Midori has written extensively for books, magazines, and educational anthologies, contributing to the professionalisation of BDSM education and helping introduce structured teaching methods into the international kink community. Her approachable style, practical experience, and commitment to ethical education have made her one of the most respected instructors of her generation.
