Guides

Running a dynamic, well.

Practical guides for D/s couples — written for the relationship first and the app second. Take what is useful, leave what is not, and talk about all of it.

What these are, and what they are not

Every dynamic is its own thing, agreed between the people in it. Nothing here is a rule you have to follow, and none of it replaces the conversation you have with your partner. What these guides can do is give that conversation a starting point: the questions worth asking, the mistakes other couples have already made, and some structure you can borrow and bend.

They are written by the people who make My Dynamic, a private app for D/s couples, so where the app helps with something we say so, once, at the end. Everything before that works just as well with a notebook and a calendar on the fridge.

All of it assumes adults who have chosen this freely, and who can stop at any time. If something here ever reads otherwise, the stopping wins.
