ROUGH BODY PLAY -
AKA No, you may not get your Mad On without consequence I just recently had a conversation that has me a bit…well…pissed. Furious, really. So this rant? This one here? Gonna be a bit tart. And unlike my normal rants, it's not going to sit for weeks at a time to cool off and lose some of the piquancy. Here’s the thing. I am getting bloody fucking sick and tired of the phrase, “She knew the risks when she played with me.” This isn’t a “consent violation” rant. It i

GFD - Bringing your kink into the vanilla world
The key to bringing any kink into vanilla life lies in three essential elements: Consent, Constraint, and Complications. First, remember that people around you haven't consented to participate in your scene or play. Even when you're incorporating kink into your daily lifestyle, others haven't agreed to take part. So indulge your kink and its sensations without creating "splash" that forces others to participate. You might not think wearing a dog collar in public is a big deal

GFD - Gentle Femdom, Gentle Domme, Role Reversal --- what is it?
Gentle Femdom (GFD) is a form of FemDom (female domination, sometimes FemDomme or FD) that takes a different approach from scene-intensive dynamics. Unlike traditional FemDom—which often embraces sissification, gynocracy, cuckolding, humiliation, or physical “punishment”, GFD is often approached more as a 24/7 relationship (or mimicking that style, in the case of professional dominants) and avoids the harsher philosophy typically associated with “real” Femdom. GFD shifts "aw

So what is Savage Leather, anyway?
Is it a marketing gimmick? Is it yet another of the hundreds of flags and ideologies and families? Is it just another philosophy, stated by another would-be-FetlifeKing, pending approval-and-then abandonment? not hardly. (but we can see how you'd think so) You see, it begins -- as many things do, especially good stories - a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... In 2002 our hero, Kenova, moved to follow his afianced (now ex-) into Philadelphia. Creative Kin

Common Sense in Caning -- UPDATED, NEW CANES
When buying a cane, it's important to know not only what size you want, but what you want to be made out of. Getting a cane based on looks generally means adding something useless to your credit card bill. As a beginner, there's no point shelling out $80 to $100 for an exotic wood rattan cane (purple heart, zebra wood, paduak), when you're going to have to replace the rattan rod part in 6 months and have neither the skill nor tools to do it. As an experienced masochist, a b

But Why a Stud, Cousin?
(The Origin of the Studded Paddle in cK) "But why a spoon, cousin?" "Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!" -Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves Gods above, I love that quote. And the sheer maliciousness that just drips from it when Alan Rickman spits it... no one could be maliciously contemptuous like Alan Rickman. If only we could all replace that "nagging little voice" in the back of our heads with the voice of Alan Rickman (God rest his soul) --- humanity would be l

What’s in your Dungeon?
AKA – Dr. Seuss and Kinky Emergencies So to start…a VERY bad Dr. Seuss imitation. Because Dr. Seuss is awesome. Have you done many dungeons, or played in play places? Seen a bunch of black benches, or congregations of cages? I bet you’ve seen walls upon walls of wondrous whips, And all other manner of toys on your many night trips, Canes, crackers, and floggers, all hanging on hooks; And a bookshelf or two of nighttime picture books! But what aren’t you seeing, what
