(Austin, TX / May 27, 2021) — Premier women’s erotica site afterglow (xoafterglow.com) is turning the spotlight on Mistress Marley in a new article, ‘Whipping Yourself Into Shape: Building a Domme Persona’.

Marley, aka ‘The Chocolate Domme’, offers afterglow readers her unique insight into what it takes to become a professional Dominatrix, like focusing on overall personality and how to integrate it into the world of BDSM.

“Domme personalities can range from nurturing and encouraging to bratty and spoiled,” says Marley. “Personally, I consider myself a ‘Sadistic Sensualist’, meaning I will lure you in with my sensuality and femininity, but then I’ll release all of my rage,”

She also offers tips on putting together a ‘Domme Kit’. “A lot of novice Dommes think they have to break the bank to have a great kit, but this isn’t the case at all…. most basic kits can be purchased on Amazon and come with tools such as floggers, handcuffs, blindfolds and ball gags,”

Once adjusted to feeling comfortable with the tools, Marley says that practice makes perfect. “You never want to buy anything that’s above your skill or comfort level. Try asking a partner or friend who consents to being used for practice.”

Curating stories, igniting conversations and offering premium video and written content centered on sexual fulfillment, afterglow empowers everyone to become experts in their own pleasure.

Paving the way for a future we want to live and star in, afterglow is an adult site for those 18+ with original, licensed content behind a paywall, and free sex-positive articles. Normalizing sex and porn in a modern world, afterglow is the sex resource we all need.

Lilly Sparks is the founder of afterglow, a revolutionary porn company merging porn and sexual wellness and making steamy films focused on the pleasure of all participants. Sparks’ inspiration to start afterglow came from struggles in her own sex life. She longed to find resources to help her explore authentic pleasure but felt alone and ashamed.

Knowing she wasn’t alone on this journey, Sparks created afterglow to explore sexuality and support the unabashed enjoyment of sex. Prior to afterglow, Lilly was a serial entrepreneur with expertise in scaling disruptive brands, taking them from zero to millions of revenue.

During her down time, Lilly loves listening to music, being outdoors, and dancing… especially doing all three at once.

Mistress Marley, a.k.a. @thechocolatedomme, is a New York City-based professional dominatrix that specializes in financial domination (‘findom’), sex educator, ‘play party’ curator and supportive mentor of up & coming Dommes looking to embark upon a career in the industry.

A powerful sex worker advocate, Marley got her start in 2017 by researching jobs that best suited her personality and freedom-loving lifestyle; the former exotic dancer learned the ropes of her craft through six months of intense, meticulous studying, and when she knew she was ready to take flight, Chocolate Domme was born.

Marley achieved peak viral infamy in 2019 when she caught the attention of 3.5 million viewers in an unforgettable video of her walking her leashed sub through North Carolina Central University’s homecoming event.

The Pro Domme is proud of her 125+-member mentoring collective, Black Domme Sorority, which she calls a “safe space for Black and Afro-Latina women to come together” in order to network, promote one another’s content and offer a true support system for each other as underrepresented professionals in the industry.

Marley also offers instructional courses, virtual demonstrations and exclusive tips on mastering BDSM 101, Sex Work 101, Sugaring 101 and Sex Work 101 through her Sexcademy, a learn-at-your-own-pace platform with membership opportunities in the Sugaring Academy, Dominatrix Academy, and SW Academy.
