Who is Dicho?

Dicho is a Pansexual, Polyamorous, Sado-Masochistic Dominant who specializes in consensual emotional sadism and manipulation. However, he tends to think that labels are best left to soup cans....

Dicho has been an active member of the Austin Kink Scene for most of two decades. He has served as an educator, arbiter, and in the leadership of BDSM organizations.

Dicho provides a monthly orientation for those new to the world of kink, BDSM, and alternative lifestyles. He discusses the foundations of affirmative consent through negotiations, safe calls & the avoidance of common pitfalls for newcomers, and expectations for your first munch (kinky meeting in a public place like a bar or restaurant) or play party at a community dungeon.

Dicho teaches a course on Negotiating Consensual Non-Consent (CNC), which delves into the oft mentioned but rarely truly explored concepts of dynamics based on 'blanket' consent and how to best navigate those perilous waters. He has also taught classes on emotional sadism, humiliation, & degradation; objectification & the dark sides of age-play & pet-play; and has presented fire-play intensives.

Dicho believes in the philosophy of “Brutal Honesty”. That honesty is not only a shield to protect us from falsehoods, but also a spear to cut through miscommunication. Only by utilizing Brutal Honesty can we avoid the bullshit and ask for what we desire while clearly communicating to others what we won't tolerate.
