  • BDSM: Safer Kinky
    BDSM SAFER KINKY SEX If sexually explicit information about BDSM activities might offend you, then this information is not for you. 1 BDSM Etiquette BDSM etiquette is about respect and communication: RESPECT: Negotiate all the limits and terms (including ‘safe’ words and signals) of a scene before you start to play. A ‘safe’ word (or signal) is used in BDSM play to stop the scene immediately. Some people use green, yellow, and red. These systems are there to protect everyone involved. Respect the limits and feelings of other players (and your own) at all times. COMMUNICATION: Discuss interests, pleasures, perceived needs, physical limitations, past experiences, health needs, and STI status with your partner(s). If you are unsure of a sexual or BDSM activity, then hold off until someone experienced teaches you the safety aspects. Discussion builds intimacy. You and your partner(s) will have more fun! BDSM Risk Reduction Responsible BDSM has always been about practicing safety, so it’s important to understand the risks involved in BDSM play, and how to minimize them. BDSM activities have generally been classed as low risk for HIV transmission. This booklet contains practical guidelines and This means that only a small number of people advice on the prevention of Human Immuno- are likely to have contracted HIV, or passed on deficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and HIV, while practising BDSM.

  • Introduction to Wax Play
    Introduction to Wax Play July 2020 Krome ONYX Introduction Wax play, a form of temperature play, incorporates melting wax of various types to create slight stinging sensations inducing excitement or arousal. In this introduction we will cover tips and techniques for beginners. In addition, we will discuss materials needed and what should be done before, during and after the play session. Materials The safest wax products to use are made of soy and paraffin or a mixture of the two. Paraffin and soy melt at lower temperatures and are least likely to burn your submissive during play. Specific wax is needed during play and should be chosen in its purest form. Before purchasing, read the ingredients to ensure your wax does not have any additives and perfumes. Avoid wax that is dyed with unnatural ingredients, scented, look metallic and products containing beeswax. Consider the allergies of the submissive, a reaction due to negligence will ruin the experience. Typically the decorative candles you have in your home are not the proper type to use for wax play. When selecting a candle, the easiest to master is the classic stick. The surface area of the wax is wide enough to produce safe slow and steady drips. Not to be confused with tapered candles which have a smaller surface area for the wax to pool. Tapered candles elevate the temperature of wax point of contact to the body and can be unsafe for beginners. Pillars and votives are another great option for pooling and allow for a more concentrated pour. Candles that are enclosed in glass or cups should be avoided by beginners.

  • Loving BDSM Checklist
    Loving BDSM Checklist We wish we could list every single kinky act and fetish out there, but since almost anything can be made a little kink, it’s impossible to list everything. This, however, should be a good starting point if you’re new. How to use the checklist: ● Print as many copies as you need ● Read each activity ● Choose how you do or might want to interact with the activity: give (G), receive (R), or both (B) ● Write Y or N whether you’ve tried it or not ● Check whether like it, feel “meh” about it (neutral), or dislike it ● For things you haven’t done, write Y or N on whether you’d be willing to try it ● If you know you’re a hard no on an activity, check the hard limit box at the end. ● Use the notes section at the back to write down ideas. items not on the list, things to research, and any topics you want to discuss with your partner. Once you and your partner(s) are done, it’s time to compare notes. Talk about what you love and hate. Research anything you’re unsure about. For anything that’s new to you and you want to try together, consider this your first kinky bucket list. You don’t have to like everything your partner does in order to have kinky fun. You don’t have to be really experienced, either. BDSM and D/s are about growing as individuals and together. This is simply a tool to help you on your path.

  • LYNX: Waxing Philosophic - Temperature Play & Hot Wax
    LYNX: Waxing Philosophic - Temperature Play & Hot Wax recon.com/Blog/Article/lynx-waxing-philosophic-temperature-play-hot-wax/2993 from Recon News 24 August 2020 Lynx AKA LeathermanLynx has been involved in Leather/KINK/BDSM as a follower, leader, supporter and champion of education in our community since 2015. In this piece, Lynx AKA member LeathermanLynx shares his insight and experiences from playing with Hot Wax. Earlier today my partner and I went for pedicures -- he has a thing for feet. Towards the second half of my pedicure, the technician asked, "What colour wax do you want?" It caught me off guard, but I realized I had been given a choice of green or orange paraffin wax for the pedicure - I chose orange. I put my feet in the molten orange wax and - DAMN! - it felt so good! I sat there [the massage chair chopping at my back while the wax did its thing to my feet] and I started thinking about Wax Play. Those thoughts led to this piece. In my experience, sometimes limits are not pushed in a BDSM scene. Sometimes, it's just two men, hot for each other, smelling each other's "man-ness." Sometimes, it just so happens to be an 'artistic' experience. That's how I approach playing with hot wax in Temp Play. For me, it's more than dripping wax across a nice ass. It's a chance to "create" something with someone. 1/4 It's pretty fair to say Wax Play is one of the more well-known and widely explored kinks around.

  • In the Habit of Being Kinky: Practice and Resistance
    IN THE HABIT OF BEING KINKY: PRACTICE AND RESISTANCE IN A BDSM COMMUNITY, TEXAS, USA By MISTY NICOLE LUMINAIS A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Anthropology MAY 2012 © Copyright by MISTY NICOLE LUMINAIS, 2012 All Rights Reserved © Copyright by MISTY NICOLE LUMINAIS, 2012 All rights reserved To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of MISTY NICOLE LUMINAIS find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. ___________________________________ Nancy P. McKee, Ph.D., Chair ___________________________________ Jeffrey Ehrenreich, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Faith Lutze, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Jeannette Mageo, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could have not completed this work without the support of the Cactus kinky community, my advisors, steadfast friends, generous employers, and my family. Members of the kinky community welcomed me with all my quirks and were patient with my incessant questions. I will always value their strength and kindness. Members of the kinky community dared me to be fully present as a complete person rather than relying on just being a researcher. They stretched my imagination and did not let my theories go uncontested. Lively debates and embodied practices forced me to consider the many paths to truth. As every anthropologist before me, I have learned about both the universality and particularity of human experience. I am amazed. For the sake of confidentiality, I cannot mention specific people or groups, but I hope they know who they are and how much this has meant to me.

  • Adventures of Pleasure: Conceptualising Consensual Bondage, Discipline, Dominance & Submission, and Sadism & Masochism
    Adventures of Pleasure: Conceptualising consensual bondage, discipline, dominance & submission, and sadism & masochism (BDSM) as a form of adult play This paper will illustrate how the consensual sexual practice of bondage, discipline, dominance & submission, and sadism & masochism (BDSM) can be interpreted as a form of adult play. Terminology and language used by BDSM practitioners frequently draws upon imagery of play, fun and games, and narratives around BDSM related activities are reflective of this. Drawing upon empirical data along with various psychological and sociological theoretical perspectives, this paper will explore the conceptualisation of consensual BDSM as a form of adult erotic play. Vygotsky proposed that fantasy play is a tool used by children for the purpose of liberating themselves from situational constraints, thus enabling them to explore thoughts, behaviours and emotions that would not otherwise be possible. The current paper argues that this function of fantasy can be applied to adult practitioners of BDSM, and advances this argument by theorising that consensual BDSM is a form of socio-dramatic play for adults, which serves an erotic and/or pleasurable purpose. Play enables experimentation with creativity, language, physical nuances and social roles and conventions; this paper argues that engaging in BDSM allows similar experimentation with gender, social non-conventions and physical and psychological sensations, and proposes that this kind of adult play is signified by an erotic element. Taken from a wider study into the lived experience of consensual BDSM, data were collected via nine in-depth, semi-structured interviews with self-identified BDSM practitioners in the United Kingdom recruited using a snowball sample, and analysed using the template approach within an interpretive phenomenological framework, as described by Merleau-Ponty (1945/1962).

  • AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER
    AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER (Under the Direction of Reginald McKnight) ABSTRACT American Inferno, a novel, is a loose transposition of Dante‟s Inferno into a contemporary American setting. Its chapters (or “circles”) correspond to Dante‟s nine circles of Hell: 1) Limbo, 2) Lust, 3) Gluttony, 4) Hoarding & Wasting, 5) Wrath, 6) Heresy, 7) Violence, 8) Fraud and 9) Treachery. The novel‟s Prologue — Circle 0 — corresponds to the events that occur, in the Inferno, prior to Dante‟s and Virgil‟s entrance into Hell proper. The novel is a contemporary American moral inquiry, not a medieval Florentine one: thus it is sometimes in harmony with and sometimes a critique of Dante‟s moral system. Also, like the Inferno, it is not an investigation just of its characters‟ personal moral struggles, but also of the historical sins of its nation: for Dante, the nascent Italian state; for us, the United States. Thus the novel follows the life story of its principal character as he progresses from menial to mortal sins while simultaneously considering American history from America‟s early Puritan foundations in the Northeast (Chapters 1-4) through slavery, civil war and manifest destiny (Chapters 5-7) to its ultimate expression in the high-technology West-Coast entertainment industry (Chapters 8-9).

  • New to the Scene
    New to the Scene Welcome! We have listed a few of the questions that we have received from people who are new to either the Portland scene, or kink in general. If this does not address your question, please feel free to contact us. What is a play party? A play party/dungeon party is an event that gives kinky people the opportunity to engage in BDSM play at a public event. It is a chance to watch others interact, to meet and possibly play with new people, and show off your kink in an accepting environment. Dungeon furniture such as bondage crosses, spanking benches, padded tables, slings, and other furniture are provided. Everyone brings their own portable toys. Every play party has its own rules but some etiquette is standard. Please make sure you read the Etiquette section below. What is a Meet and Greet? Join us! Meet people who are entering the public scene, attending a play party for the first time, and other members of the local BDSM community for friendly conversation in a relaxed and low-key atmosphere where you can introduce yourself, and ask questions. This will be an informal way to get to know a few people, and no special rsvp or dress is necessary - just show-up, look for the Meet and Greet sign or someone wearing a WELCOME button and get to know someone new. See you there! What should I wear? Feel free to be comfortable in your most intimate fetish and be able to flaunt it here in a safe and welcoming environment in most dungeon parties.

  • Kink Negotiation & Scene Planning Tools
    Kink Negotiation & Scene Planning Tools ROUGH BS Pre-Scene Planning Tool ROUGH BS is a proprietary preliminary BDSM negotiation tool. The acronym stands for Restrained, Owned, Used, Given Away, Humiliated, Beaten, Serve. Its purpose is to outline the general categories of play you and your scene partners most enjoy. This can help determine overall compatibility with prospective play partners. It can also help you pinpoint which foundational elements to build your scene around. This tool is a conversation prompt. To use it, determine how much you enjoy engaging in each category of activities as either a bottom or top (the bottom would be the subject of these actions and the top would be executing them). Use a 1-10 scale with 1 being “not interested” and 10 being “YES!” Let’s say two partners score high on “Given Away.” Go further to ask clarifying questions like “what does that mean to you?” In this example, being given away could mean to another dominant you both know well for an hour of domestic service. Or it could mean to a group of five people for sexual pleasure every Tuesday. Because these categories are broad, ambiguous, and subjective, further negotiation under each is mandatory. The Yes/No/Maybe list below can help you drill down to specific activities that fall under each category for more nuanced negotiation. Kink Yes/No/Maybe List A Yes/No/Maybe list is a kink/sexual inventory checklist designed to aid in self-analysis and/or partner negotiations. You can use it several ways: ● Mark beside each YES (what you want to do), MAYBE (soft limit), or NO (hard limit) and talk through each with your partner.
