ONLINE: Bratting Beyond Make Me: Navigating Misconceptions and Embracing the Brat

In BDSM, "bratting" is often misunderstood and may be seen as simply being rebellious or defiant. However, bratting is a legitimate kink that, like all kinks, should be approached with clear communication and consent.
