A warm, witty, and slightly chaotic guide to kink, for readers who like their spice with a side of real talk.

Welcome to The Smut Lover’s Companion—your unofficial guide to the gloriously unhinged intersection of BookTok spice, kink, and community.

When Spicy BookTok exploded into its own corner of the internet, it brought with it a new wave of readers, writers, and kinksters… and Smut Lovers: The Conference was born.

This book was created to help bridge those gaps—between fantasy and safety, between play and practice. It’s a resource, a friend, a flashlight in the dark corners of curiosity.

Whether you’re a spicy reader, a curious writer, or someone exploring kink and BDSM for the first (or fiftieth) time, I hope this guide helps you skip a few of the stumbles I made.

Think of me as your substitute Tía:
The messy auntie who buys too many candles and shares too much over wine—but who will also tell you the truth, stand in your corner, and cheer you on while you find your voice.

Maybe I’m your plant-loving neighbor.
Maybe your internet bestie.
Maybe just someone who got a little too obsessed with rope one year and never looked back.

Either way: Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Go forth. Be curious. Be kinky. Be safe.
