Chicago – In her latest Tiffany’s Secret Diary article, “Yes, Mistress: When the ‘Switch’ Flips,” Tiffany Chan, Ed.D., pulls back the curtain on an intensely personal and rarely discussed aspect of her own D/s journey – her experiences as a Dominant.
The celebrated sexologist and kink-affirming educator says that she spent years researching and teaching about power exchange relationships, but this time she is stepping into the narrative not as an educator, but as a subject, reflecting on how she once led exclusively as a Dominant before stepping into a submissive role in her current relationship.
Chan also opens up about what it means to be a switch, the nuances of navigating both Dominant and submissive energies, and how her personal evolution has shaped her views on holistic sexuality. She delves into the complex interplay of identity, desire and self-discovery, offering readers an intimate glimpse into her lived experiences.
“For years, I’ve primarily been known as a submissive in my current dynamic, but my Dominant side has never truly disappeared,” writes Chan. “This article is my way of exploring and embracing that truth, and I hope it encourages others to do the same – without shame, without guilt, and with full self-acceptance.”
