Service Topping

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

You provide the services of a top as directed to those who request it. Nothing wrong with that. I suppose there may be a few ways of looking at that: There are those who would find what you do to be a type of bottoming in that you are following direction that ...

Info Out: The history of BDSM

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

REALLY looking forward to going to this with an elder kinkster friend of mine. The Art of Loving, a retailer of adult products here in Vancouver, presents the History of Consensual Sadomasochism, a presentation by Peter Tupper. History like you never learned it in school! From the marriage rites of ancient ...

It’s a team sport

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I've always said that SM is a team sport. Except for when it's not I love lending energy through appreciative watching, by playing lube/glove/condom girl or full on cheering/egging on the action. I love a good group scene. The planning over cocktails and pizza; the psychological tormenting of the victim/s ...

A Place Where Race and BDSM Intersect

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I've been screaming about the intersection of race and BDSM for a bit (not as loud as some though!) Even at this past weekend's event I brought it up. No surprise when it came to the response of the participants. One of the presenters, Rope, who is Native American, lobbed ...

Black Men Playing With Men

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

May I stand beside you and help hold space as an ally? I asked this of a woman on a forum who was being given a hard, hard time by some of the members. As a dyke, I found the conversation disturbing and alienating. It reminded me of conversations with white people ...

On the Edge doesn’t have to Equal Abuse

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I go to public parties around town and before my friend -rl- got a hold of the DM team there was judgment and questioning about certain activities. Was it UNSAFE. Not always. Nope. Not at all. I actually remember a "you didn't warm her up" admonishment." Yeah. Oh! Did that ...

Dental Fetish? No thanks.

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Dentists are hoorible. Think about it... They have the highest suicide rate of any profession. And when I worked for a provincial human rights agency, I was surprised to see how many complaints of harassment (of a type not covered by the code, which is to say personal and not ...

Top Drop

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

When I drop, I become, crabby and irritable and non-communicative. I don't want anyone around me and I don't want to talk to anyone in person or on the phone. It's kinda like a bad depressive state. I wanna drink, I wanna sleep and I wanna watch bad TV with ...

Modifying BDSM practices

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

I've been thinking A LOT about how there are lots of workshops at lots of conferences dealing with BDSM 101, 201, 301, etc. But I have never seen anything about modified BDSM practices. And that is not only from the stand point of those who are aging, but for those ...

Size means nothing

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

I'm smallish in size (5'1" and 160 lbs) But I'm big when it comes to torment! Being small means that there are times when F/folks underestiment what I am capable of. On the other hand, there are times where I steadfastly insist that because I'm little... there's Ab-sol-lute-ly No-thing to ...
