I think Lara is more the kind who ADMINISTERS the beating...

Dyslexic Librarian is not an oxymoron in the Dresdenverse.

Dyslexics are still literate, and can read/understand the contents.

But your point is well-taken, and the obvious solution is just to have a cadre of techs who scan mutually-unintelligible works.  The gal who is fluent in English scans texts in Arabic & Hebrew; the Aramaic scholar scans texts in various Chinese languages; etc etc etc.

Yes, but their dyslexia would prevent casual aquisition of the contents whilst undertaking the work, a firewall against books too smart for their own good trying to reconfigure into a form that they can read, even as picture books for the illiterate. Too much Pratchett.

I doubt it, honestly.

I don't think (most) whamps are indiscriminately-kinky, though I expect
 A) there are similar ranges of tastes/preferences (straight/gay/bi, bdsm, etc) among whamps as among normal humans;
 B) most of the more-senior / more-powerful are at least ... "proficient" I guess? ... in virtually all modes of sexuality (and use their powers to cover any gaps)

We've never, that I recall, seen Lara imply submissiveness, nor masochism.  I don't doubt she could "go with the flow" (and Feed) if playing sub to a dominant lover, etc.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Lara would be in control all the time even as the supposed sub.

It’s why she wants Harry and Marcone, she can’t control either.
