This sexual roundelay about power and powerlessness, about the imagination butting up against so-called “reality,” is played out by two contemporary characters. As it begins, we sit facing Thomas (Wes Bentley), a playwright who has written an adaptation of “Venus in Furs.” He’s in a rehearsal studio—a grayish, minimal, anonymous space with fluorescent track lighting.

Screw the Roses Send Me the Thorns
Posted in bdsm, book, dominance, domination, kink, submission, submissive on Oct 15th, 2009
“Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns” was not the first book I have ever read on BDSM. When I first started getting interested in BDSM, the internet was my guide, some of it useful, some of it ridiculous, everyone had an opinion. I then read “Different Loving” and “Sensuous Magic”, both excellent books relating [...]
The art of fire cupping began in many ancient cultures as a traditional therapy to treat various ailments by creating a vacuum next to the skin. “The earliest use of cupping that is recorded is from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.). The method was described in his book A Handbook [...]

And, now for something completely different! I have been inspired by Red from the Red Sneaker Diaries to try out some electro-stimulation type sex toys. She has been doing a series of reviews on erotic E-Stim toys and has become what I consider the Queen of E-stim toys. Previously, I’ve been a bit wary of [...]
“The Mistress Manual: A Good Girl’s Guide to Female Dominance” is an instruction handbook by Mistress Lorelei, published by Greenery Press. Its focus is on heterosexual female dominance, but much of the information can be adapted to other gender play scenarios. Written by Lorelei, an experienced lifestyle Dominatrix and feminist, it provides information to [...]
Her 24 Hours Online with Me (Mind of a Mentor)
Posted in bdsm on Apr 2nd, 2009
. . . The next day, I had some very weighty thoughts, but I was lightened by them. One of the things that struck me was that, apparently, it’s completely possible to have a give and take of control, just because he enjoyed taking, and I enjoyed giving. It was a simple symbiotic fulfillment experience [...]
NCSF has been contacted by over a dozen concerned members of the BDSM community in New York about the arrests of dozens of professional Dominatrices in Manhattan that started in early 2008. The pro-Domme community in New York City, which has been a vibrant part of the BDSM community for decades, has been ravaged by [...]
PULP, the BDSM porn gateway (Gloria Brame)
Posted in bdsm on Feb 8th, 2009
Long before the acronym BDSM was in use, long before people recognized that many of their fantasies and fascinations qualified them for a clinical diagnosis as a sadomasochist, pulp fiction offered all the erotic thrills of today’s BDSM fiction.
One could factually argue that the biggest difference between pulp readers of yore and BDSMers of today [...]
Breasts and nipples are my favorite parts of the female anatomy because they are so fun to play. It is very hot playfully torturing a pair of breasts and watching them respond with pleasure, as your play partner moans and squeals with abandon.
Nipple clamps are a great way to add breast play into your play [...]
Energy Independence (Rope Springs Eternal)
Posted in bdsm on Jan 21st, 2009
It’s commonly held among kinky folk that bottoms of all genders outnumber tops by some non-trivial percentage. Among talented tops I have known there is a propensity, however veiled sometimes, to need to switch occasionally. I have no opinion on the continuing debate over “true” topping and “true” bottoming, but it’s fair to observe that [...]

Masters Slave:
. . . I know when he watches me, know when he stops whatever it was he was doing and slides his gaze across my flesh.I feel it. I sense his attention and it sends shivers coursing through my body. My heart speeds up, my skin flushes and I feel the dampness forming between [...]

Once the funnel was proved useful as mouthfuls of wine successfully bypassed my mouth to spill into the back of my throat, despite the fact that it is difficult to keep up with this flow without choking, the funnel engaged a delicious long, drawn out hedonistic sensationally vivid cycle.

Rush (The Garden)
Posted in bdsm on Sep 5th, 2008
. . .Fear and terror are two completely different things. I learned that that day. Fear is hot, fear, to me, is getting fucked while there’s a rope tied around my throat, or being told that if I don’t do what I’m told, when I’m told, that my top is going to rip out a [...]

An unusual sex survey has found that Australians who enjoy bondage and discipline are not damaged or dangerous, and might even be happier than those who practise “normal” sex.
The research showed two per cent of adult Australians regularly partake in sadomasochism and dominance and submission-type sexual role play.
And contrary to commonly-held stereotypes, they are not [...]
I wasn’t going to comment on the Second Circuit’s decision reversing Glenn Marcus’ conviction until it was published, and I had read it–which I have now. What strikes me first and foremost is how close a call it was for Marcus–two of the three judges who voted to reverse his conviction did so on the [...]
A federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of a man dubbed the “S&M Svengali” and ordered a retrial in a sensational case that involved mutilation and extreme humiliation.
Glenn Marcus, 55, was convicted of breaking a law that wasn’t in place when some of the offenses happened, which amounted to a violation of the U.S. [...]
S&M Inspired Fashion (The Frisky)
Posted in bdsm on Aug 22nd, 2008
From the runway to the pages of magazines, fashion is experiencing a resurgence of SM-inspired style. Calvin Klein handcuffs? Check. Whip-wielding models? You bet. Back in the 90s, Versace paved the way with bondage gear that borrowed heavily from the underground fetish scene. Now that kink has gone mainstream, more designers are finding their influences [...]
For some, Gitmo interrogation techniques are a real turn-on (NJ.com)
Posted in bdsm on Aug 19th, 2008
Welcome to The Floating World, three days of suspended reality geared toward those who explore extremes in carnality. The program encompassed bondage, sadomasochism and role playing — including Gitmo-inspired interrogator/detainee “torture” sessions.
. . . A sign of the times, the course list also included “Interrogation and Torture Techniques.” The class, which outlined how to fetishize [...]
Body Of Evidence: The artist Catherine Opie (New York Times)
Posted in bdsm on Aug 18th, 2008
Catherine Opie proudly calls herself a pervert. In 1994, she even had the word carved into her ample chest, to make one of the most arresting self-portraits since Robert Mapplethorpe photographed himself with a bullwhip in his anus back in the ’70s.
Opie’s ‘‘Self-Portrait/Pervert,’’ which anchors a 20-year survey of her photography coming to the Guggenheim [...]
So I’m sort of interested in the Gor thing, but I really loathe Rush. Is this a deal-breaker?
- Twee Guy
Yes, in most cases. The acceptance of prog-rock is essential to the teachings of Gor, which entail a lot of chest-pounding, grim stares into the distance, and the appreciation of 27-minute guitar solos in the middle [...]
It’s hot. I texted her to stand outside, five steps away from the front door. I can see her on my screen. V., standing still, stoic, as pedestrians move around her up and down the street. I can see her stillness, standing stoically, as the sun bears summer down onto her shoulders. Her stoic stand [...]
