In this one, my father, then twenty-eight years old, is sitting in a Plymouth roadster convertible, beige with a red pinstripe along the side. It has red leather upholstery, including the rumble seat. My father was, according to my mother, a rakish bachelor who lived with a gang of fellows in a house in St. Catha- rines, nicknamed “the homestead.” His friends called him “Hurry- Up Hayes” because he walked purposefully, with short, quick steps, as though there were important things ahead.

She had her pick of eligible men, and chose my father. Later, when he infuriated or disappointed me, I would remind myself of this past life of his, the easy grace with which he carried himself, defining for me the idea of unforced masculinity. I believe to this day that he was more self-possessed, more relaxed with who he was than I was at his age, or, for that matter, later. Here he’s sitting, obviously posed but looking most at ease, every inch the successful executive: the double-breasted chalk-stripe suit, the dark tie with bold diagonals, the half-Windsor knot. It’s the mid-s and he is now in senior management at Abitibi’s head office on University Avenue in Toronto. Look at his steady gaze into the camera, as if to say, I am a man both comfortable and successful in this masculine world.

  • Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadomasochism (Bdsm)/Kink
    BONDAGE AND DISCIPLINE, DOMINANCE AND SUBMISSION, 6 AND SADOMASOCHISM (BDSM)/KINK Brian is a white gay man of 55 who has been working with you in therapy for several sessions on the panic attacks and nightmares he has been expe- riencing following witnessing a person committing suicide at a tube sta- tion some months ago. For a couple of weeks you have sensed that there are some aspects of his life that he hasn’t been completely open about with you. At the end of a session he looks uncomfortable and says that there is something he has to tell you which he hopes won’t influence your opinion of him but which has been holding him back from talking about all aspects of his life. He says that he is in a 24/7 BDSM relationship as a slave for his partner, Jordan. Think about: • What is your formulation/understanding of the key issues for Brian? • What themes can you imagine emerging as you continue? • What assumptions might you bring to this? • How would you proceed? Being a kink-aware professional you let Brian know that you have some understanding of BDSM practices and relationships. He has probably already seen SM 101 and Powerful Pleasures on your bookshelf, and that probably helped him to tell you about this aspect of his life. Like many people, the idea of ‘24/7’ BDSM is one that you find difficult to understand, so you note your negative gut reaction as one you want to bracket as much as possible and explore in supervision.

The goal of this paper is to attempt to answer this question by reviewing a variety of information about sadomasochism.

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia

  • Bdsm, Kink, and Consent: What the Law Can Learn from Consent-Driven Communities
    BDSM, KINK, AND CONSENT: WHAT THE LAW CAN LEARN FROM CONSENT-DRIVEN COMMUNITIES Mika Galilee-Belfer* Millions of Americans participate in consensual, mutually agreed-upon activities such as bondage, dominance, and submission—collectively referred to as BDSM or kink—yet the relationship between individual consent to such participation and consent as legally understood and defined is imperfect at best. Because the law has not proven adept at adjudicating disputes that arise in BDSM situations, communities that practice BDSM have adopted self-policing mechanisms (formal and informal) aimed at replicating and even advancing the goals and protections of conventional law enforcement. This self-policing is particularly important because many jurisdictions hold there can be no consent to the kind of experiences often associated with BDSM; this is true in practice irrespective of the existence of statutory language regarding consent. In this Note, I compare legal communities and BDSM communities across three variables: how consent is defined, how violations are comparably adjudicated, and the types of remedies available by domain. In the process, I examine what norm-setting and rule adjudication look like when alternative communities choose to define, and then operate within, norms and controls that must be extra-legal by both necessity and design.

  • The “Jūdō Sukebei”
    ISSN 2029-8587 PROBLEMS OF PSYCHOLOGY IN THE 21st CENTURY Vol. 9, No. 2, 2015 85 THE “JŪDŌ SUKEBEI” PHENOMENON: WHEN CROSSING THE LINE MERITS MORE THAN SHIDŌ [MINOR INFRINGEMENT] ― SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR IN JŪDŌ COACHES AND INSTRUCTORS Carl De Crée University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Rome, Italy Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium International Association of Judo Researchers, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The sport of jūdō was intended as an activity “for all”. Since in 1996 a major sex abuse scandal broke out that involved a Dutch top jūdō coach and several female elite athletes, international media have identified many more abuses. To date no scholarly studies exist that have examined the nature, extent, and consequences of these anomalies. We intend in this paper to review and analyze sexual abuses in jūdō. To do so we offer a descriptive jurisprudence overview of relevant court and disciplinary cases, followed by a qualitative-analytical approach looking at the potential factors that prompt jūdō-related bullying and sexual harassment. Sex offenders may be attracted to jūdō because of: 1. the extensive bodily contact during grappling, 2. the easy access to voyeuristic opportunities during contest weigh-ins and showering, 3. Jūdō’s authoritarian and hierarchical structure as basis for ‘grooming’, 4. lack of integration of jūdō’s core moral component in contemporary jūdō coach and instructor education, and 5. its increasing eroti- cization by elite jūdō athletes posing for nude calendars and media and by specialized pornographic jūdō manga and movies. Cultural conceptions and jurisprudence are factors that affect how people perceive the seriousness and how these offences are dealt with.

  • Rope Bondage 101
    Rope Bondage 101 Overview Bondage and restraint is a common fantasy for many people. Some prefer the struggle and potential for escape, others enjoy feeling of capturing and holding another person in captivity. Rope bondage can be used as a utilitarian restraint used for further play, or as an end unto itself with complex patterns and forms, designed to beautifully captivate a willing participant. This workshop covers safety concerns surrounding rope bondage, rope materials & selection, basic knots, and simple restraint ties. What follows from this base is a comparison between Western and Eastern rope styles along with an example of a Japanese tie. The workshop winds down with some tips and tricks for improving your bondage skills and an overview of resources available in print and on the internet. This guide is written as instruction to the person applying the bondage, the term partner is used to indicate the person on whom the bondage is being applied. Bio I’m a fun‐loving rope geek and sex educator who has found a home in the Midwest United States kink community. When I’m not traveling to events, I contribute to the Iowa State University CUFFS group, and serve on the board of Minneapolis TNG group Min‐KY. Although I’m a relatively new member of the scene, I’ve presented at numerous events across the country, including Kinky Kollege, Shibaricon, Denver Bound, and Beyond Leather. As a presenter, I aim to provide a comfortable down‐to‐earth learning environment for all genders, orientations, and experience levels. My long list of presentations, events, and class materials can be found at http://www.kinkfriendly.org Lastly, I am not a medical professional.

  • Sadomasochist Role-Playing As Live- Action Role-Playing: a Trait-Descriptive Analysis
    International Journal of Role-Playing - Issue 2 Sadomasochist Role-Playing as Live- Action Role-Playing: A Trait-Descriptive Analysis Popular Abstract - This article describes sadomasochist role-playing which is physically performed by its participants. All sadomasochist activities have a role-playing component to them. It is a form of role-playing where people consensually take on dominant and submissive roles, for the purpose of inflicting things such as pain and humiliation, in order to create pleasure for all participants. In some cases, participants agree to emphasize those roles, or make them fetishistically attractive, by adding complexity and definitions to them, and then act them out in semi-scripted fantasy scenes. This paper examines that activity, commonly called “sadomasochistic role-play”, as opposed to the more generic “sadomasochism” of which it is only one facet. Furthermore, the article compares this form of play with live-action role-playing (larp). Its main emphasis is on the question of how closely related the two activities are. To determine this, the article examines sadomasochist role-playing as being potentially a game, the question of its goal-orientation and the issue of whether or not it contains a character in the sense of a live-action role-playing character. Based on this process, it comes to the conclusion that sadomasochist role-playing is not a separate type of role-playing, but rather one kind of live-action role-playing. As its theoretical framework, this text utilizes studies done on both live-action role-playing games and on sadomasochist role-playing. Reliable material on the latter being quite limited, descriptions have been gathered from both academic works and practical manuals.

    Skip to Content SFW CLARE BAYLEY Posted on June 27, 2013 33 comments A field guide to Pride flags It’s almost time for SF Pride, and that means the city is sprouting rainbow flags like flowers in the desert after a rainstorm. By now most people know what the rainbow signifies, but what about those other striped flags you see waving at Pride events? I thought I knew most of their meanings, but I recently came across the most Pride items I’ve ever seen in one place, and they had keychains with flags that I’d never seen before (and my office is a castle that flies Pride flags from the turrets). Here’s a quick overview of all the ones I could find online, plus a more detailed history and analysis for each further down. My sources are cited in-line or listed at the end. The top 3 are the ones most commonly seen at Pride events. Edited on 6/27/15: Updated/added some flags based on reader feedback. Rearranged flag order to loosely group by category. The Gay Pride Rainbow Ah, the rainbow flag. Such a beautiful and bold statement, hard to ignore or mistake for anything else. (also easy to adapt to every kind of merchandise you can imagine) Wikipedia has an extensive article on it, but here are the more interesting bits: The original Gay Pride Flag was first flown in the 1978 San Francisco Pride Parade, and unlike its modern day 6- color version it was a full rainbow – it included hot pink, turquoise, and indigo instead of dark blue.
