Mx. Lenore (they/them)

Mx Lenore (they/them) is a nonbinary queer Handler/Dom/Top from Cleveland, Ohio. Their biggest passion within the community is creating safe and inclusive spaces for ALL kinksters. They believe that kink is for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, identity, or expression. Kink should be accesible to everyone regardless of physical abilities, disabilities, experience and skill level. Their goal for QUICK is to foster a safe and fun space for ALL queers and allies.

They have given classes and demos on multiple kink skills, as well as consent and negotiations. They are a member of and and volunteer with multiple local kink groups, and are driven to foster connections and build bridges between the different Cleveland communities. They serve on a consent review board for another area kink organization.

They founded the Cleveland Critter Club, which is a group with a pet play focus and is welcoming to all pets, critters, and Handlers of all identities, genders, and orientations. They have been lovingly nicknamed "The Zookeeper" by all the critters, and have fallen in love with being in that caretaker role.

Kinky Interests: Non-rope bondage, duct tape, mummification, D/s, protocol, pet play, fisting,  edging and orgasm control, impact play, objectification, sensory play and deprivation.

Vanilla interests: They are a respected and educated leader and mentor in their job in health care. They are a fan of horror movies, documentaries, ghost stories, conspiracy theories, cryptids (mothman especially), haunted places, historical sites, libraries, museums, cemeteries, and all things dark and creepy. When they are not organizing events, they are reading something new, creating art, or playing music.
