Career


Brame wrote several books, including:

Different Loving: the World of Sexual Dominance and Submission
Come Hither: A Commonsense Guide To Kinky Sex
Different Loving, published in 1993, was an evidence based re-evaluation of SM/fetish/kink as an expression of normal minds and lives, challenging the bias against safe, sane, and consensual behavior as somehow pathological or problematic.
Come Hither was selected as the "official guide to kinky sex" by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.
Other titles by Brame include: Sex for Grown-Ups, Where the Boys Are, The Truth About Sex (Vols. I and II), and Different Loving Too.
Brame testified against then-US Attorney General in Nitke vs Ashcroft, a major case challenging the Communications Decency Act before the Southern District of New York.
In 2012 Brame joined the board of directors of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance and co-hosted a web radio talk show on Spreaker.
Brame has been cited as a fetish sex expert in a number of media articles, and has been a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan, Working Woman, and other mainstream magazines. Her biography of the Marquis de Sade appears in International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality (2015).
Brame is on the board of governors for the Leather Hall of Fame.
