Smothering and squashing, often associated with BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism) practices, involve the act of applying pressure or restriction to one's partner. For Awesome Mistress Kim, these activities are an integral part of her exploration of power dynamics and sensory experiences. As an expert in her field, she approaches these activities with care, attention to safety, and a deep understanding of her partners' boundaries and desires.
