Occasionally the BDSM and kinky community looks with a certain amount of envy at the gay community, as a result of the fact that the latter has achieved quite a bit when it comes to general understanding for and acceptance of different lifestyles. One of the questions, asked in this respect, is the one about being a culture yes or no. Although that as such is a question that can be debated endlessly, fact of the matter is that the narrow - sexual only - approach does not seem to cover all aspects of erotic power exchange.

by R. Jellinghaus It can also be hard to learn to bottom, if what you’re used to is topping. Giving up control, surrendering, can be a difficult thing, when you’re used to holding the reins in your hands. If you find yourself manipulating your top, trying to coerce them into giving you what you want, then you’re what is called a “pushy bottom”–a bottom who is not really submitting, but just trying to turn the situation around to the way they want it to go. Some tops get off on bottoms who are defiant or subtly disobedient, and use it ...

by Violet Midnight Maybe you and your partner are happily open in your sex life, sharing your deepest desires and freely indulging each other’s fantasies and fetishes. But what happens when he asks for something that makes you feel uncomfortable? First off, don’t think you are alone in this situation. There is even an expression for the partner of someone who indulges their partner’s fetish even if it not their cup of tea: GGG. This stands for “good, giving and game.” A GGG partner may have reacted negatively at first learning of their partner’s particular form of kink, but out ...

But what if your partner wants you to engage in sexual activities that your are uncomfortable with on an emotional level?

by R. Jellinghaus Sometimes people who are attracted by some aspects of SM worry that they will immediately go from enjoying spanking and light bondage to fisting and golden showers. Nothing could be further from the truth. SM is a blanket term for a huge variety of alternative ways to make love. This FAQ list has outlined some of the possibilities. No one I know enjoys everything on this list; everyone has their own preferences and levels of tolerance. Some like bondage but dislike pain; some like latex but dislike leather; some enjoy piercing but not whipping; some like tickling ...

Read More »Bondage Basics, Part 1
by R. Jellinghaus Why is bondage fun? Lots of reasons. For many people, the knowledge that they are helpless, that someone else can do things with their body and they can’t prevent them, is a powerful turn-on. “I’m going to make you come and there’s nothing you can do about it.” It’s a very strong statement of trust to let someone bind you helplessly, or even non-helplessly. How erotic, to feel yourself spread open, wanton and wet, and to see your lover kneeling between your legs, ready to use you for their pleasure — or to pleasure you unendurably….

by R. Jellinghaus Be very careful about tying anything around the neck; anything that puts any pressure AT ALL on the front of the neck can lead to unconsciousness quickly, as the carotid arteries go right to the brain. Likewise be careful with gags or things tied in the mouth; as well as restricting breathing, they can trigger a gag reflex, which could be really nasty if the bottom can’t get the gag out. See another question on safewords for use while gagged. Also, be aware that if someone is standing for any length of time in any sort of ...

by Ava Mir-Ausziehen While I have yet to read 50 Shades of Grey myself, I have read a lot of erotic fiction, often of the BDSM genre. The amount of press surrounding this book is curious. It seems that once a work of sensual intrigue is picked up by middle-aged women, suddenly it’s a buzz. In reading reviews of the book, I saw predictions of everything from a post-hippie neo-sexual revolution to the overturning of all feminist progress as we know it. Few erotic products with a predominately male following are talked about with such a tone of revolutionary potential ...
