Meet Doctor Dean

Meet the maestro of mischief, the visionary founder of Doctor Dean – The Doctor himself. With over 18 years of hands-on experience as a Dom, Doctor Dean created this empire to share his knowledge of relationships with the world.

From his podcast, The Doctor Dean Show, to his book, Bridging the Gap - The Ultimate Guide to Sexuality, his mission is clear: to utilize his expertise, to foster deeper, kinkier connections.
