PUBLISHED: AUGUST 14, 2014 | BY KRISTEN SOLLEE Like 475 Tweet Share SHUTTERSTOCK Handcuffs, blindfolds and Christian Grey might come to mind when you think of BDSM, but the real life kink community is actually far more diverse and dynamic than fiction. Although E.L. James’ hugely successful series has inspired some couples to move beyond vanilla in the bedroom (and buy more sex toys), there are still a lot of myths and misconceptions out there about bondage, domination, submission and masochism. So we asked a few experts to help us bust commonly held stereotypes about BDSM: Myth #1: Fifty Shades of Grey was Totally the Real Deal Not even close, says veteran member of the BDSM community and sex therapist Gloria Brame, Ph.D., author of Different Loving. In fact, she says most BDSM endorsers aren’t really fans of the book.

  • 11. Mummification: Let's Try
    11. MUMMIFICATION: LET’S TRY IT! 1. What is the appeal of mummification for you? Both giving and receiving. RAHH Oh man. So, mummification is the ultimate in control. I have zero interest in receiving this- but giving it? Someone has to have a lot of trust in me - and I really like the feeling of someone trusting me to take care of them. Someone has to be cool with giving up total control - and I really like being in control. The other factor is that mummification gives you so much to build off of. Once someone is totally restrained, the scene is really your kinky oyster (Assuming you've negotiated any play after the mummification part!). STEPHANIEROSE12 For me, it's almost like objectification... It strips away one’s identity and movement. You're completely helpless and at another's mercy. TAYLORDAWNMODEL For me, I love the tightness and inability to move. It allows me to just mentally drift away and go to my happy place. I also love the feeling of being cut out of the wrap, it feels amazing when the air you’re your body. KNOT2NICE I love bondage for bondage sake. Mummification allows for such an extreme amount of immobility and is very quick. I like that from both sides of it. I like knowing that every movement in every direction is being impaired and that a sense of helplessness is surrounding the person being mummified. BEYOND_BOTTOM I can't speak for giving on this subject yet except to imagine creating the same feeling for someone that I enjoy receiving.

Liberation Through Domination: BDSM Culture and Submissive-Role Women Abstract The alternative sexual practices of bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism (BDSM) are practiced by people all over the world. In this paper, I will examine the experiences of five submissive-role women in the Netherlands and five in south-central Pennsylvania, focusing specifically on how their involvement with the BDSM community and BDSM culture influences their self-perspective.I will begin my analysis by exploring anthropological perspectives of BDSM and their usefulness in studying sexual counterculture, followed by a consideration of feminist critiques of BDSM and societal barriers faced by women in the community.

  • Flags and Symbols Gilbert Baker Designed the Rainbow flag for the 1978 San Francisco’S Gay Freedom Celebration
    Flags and Symbols ! ! ! Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag for the 1978 San Francisco’s Gay Freedom Celebration. In the original eight-color version, pink stood for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for the sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony and violet for the soul.! " Rainbow Flag First unveiled on 12/5/98 the bisexual pride flag was designed by Michael Page. This rectangular flag consists of a broad magenta stripe at the top (representing same-gender attraction,) a broad stripe in blue at the bottoms (representing opposite- gender attractions), and a narrower deep lavender " band occupying the central fifth (which represents Bisexual Flag attraction toward both genders). The pansexual pride flag holds the colors pink, yellow and blue. The pink band symbolizes women, the blue men, and the yellow those of a non-binary gender, such as a gender bigender or gender fluid Pansexual Flag In August, 2010, after a process of getting the word out beyond the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) and to non-English speaking areas, a flag was chosen following a vote. The black stripe represents asexuality, the grey stripe the grey-are between sexual and asexual, the white " stripe sexuality, and the purple stripe community. Asexual Flag The Transgender Pride flag was designed by Monica Helms. It was first shown at a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona, USA in 2000. The flag represents the transgender community and consists of five horizontal stripes. Two light blue which is the traditional color for baby boys, two pink " for girls, with a white stripe in the center for those Transgender Flag who are transitioning, who feel they have a neutral gender or no gender, and those who are intersex.

    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.

  • Dr. Harmony's Pride Flag Lexicon
    Dr. Harmony’s Pride Flag Lexicon This pride symbol glossary is a comprehensive list as of 2017. With the coming out of alternative sexual expression, thanks in large part to the Internet, there has been an influx of pride symbols for the last decade. There is little research published on the symbology thus there are no comprehensive symbol lists currently in any publication of scholarly research that I was able to obtain. The symbols that I have chosen to include in this list were selected based upon their consistency of use in popular media and use by national and international organizations that advocate for the various groups. This list was included in this thesis as a reference for mental health professionals. Traditionally some physical observation is part of all standard of care which include noting significant markings, tattoos and piercings. Should your patient not be open to sharing with you their lifestyle, it is important for the counselor or physician to be aware of their clothing, tattoos, and/or jewelry which are common places to find these pride symbols and allows you, the medical practitioner, the opportunity to have additional information which could positively influence your ability to care for them. Also, commenting on the symbols and letting your patient know that you are truly a “Kink aware” provider will hopefully, allow them to relax and be more open in your dialog.

  • Clinical Considerations in Treating BDSM Practitioners: a Review
    JOURNAL OF SEX & MARITAL THERAPY , VOL. , NO. , – https://doi.org/./X.. Clinical Considerations in Treating BDSM Practitioners: A Review Cara R. Dunkleya andLoriA.Brottob aDepartment of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; bDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ABSTRACT BDSM is an overlapping acronym referring to the practices of bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. This arti- cle reviews the psychological literature on BDSM practitioners and discusses issues concerning BDSM that are relevant to clinicians and sexual health-care providers. The literature concerning the psychological health of BDSM prac- titioners and clinical issues in treating BDSM practitioners was exhaustively reviewed. BDSM practitioners differ minimally from the general population in terms of psychopathology. Six clinical considerations emerged: ignoring versus considering BDSM; countertransference; nondisclosure; cultural competence; closer relationship dynamics; BDSM, abuse, and pathology. Sexual sadism and sexual masochism describe behaviors that fall under the paraphilia umbrella and are often accepted as variations of “typical” sexual behaviors. Given the proliferation of sadomasochistic themes in sexually explicit media (Weiss, 2006a), sadomasochism may represent a more common sex- ual expression among individuals than was previously assumed (e.g., Moser & Levitt, 1987; Richters, de Visser, Rissel, Grulich, & Smith, 2008), with an estimated 10% of adults in the general population having engagedinsomeformofBDSMactivity(Moser&Kleinplatz,2006a). Light forms of sadomasochistic sexual activity, such as spanking, biting, and hair pulling, are not uncommon among individuals with more conventional sexual proclivities, with a minority of the population reporting engagement in more intense forms of sadomasochism, such as whipping, paddling, and bondage (Moser & Kleinplatz, 2006b).

  • A Comparative Study of BDSM Community Formation in Budapest and London
    Reframing Exclusionary Identities Through Affective Affinities: A comparative study of BDSM community formation in Budapest and London By Heath Pennington Submitted to: Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisors: Eszter Timár and Nadia Jones-Gailani CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Abstract In this comparative thesis, I investigate how BDSM communities in Budapest and London form around affective affinities that do not rely on the exclusionary mechanisms of identity politics. I strive for an open, ambiguous definition of kink to support my framing of BDSM as an affective praxis that need not rely on normative identities. My analysis is based on 20 semi-structured interviews and a literature review drawing from sexological, psychoanalytic, gender studies, and ethnographic fields, which chronicles the historical and contemporary social construction of BDSM. Situating myself and my research locations, I discuss what it means to utilize a feminist, embodied, interdisciplinary praxis in my fieldwork. I describe my participant observation and interview methodologies, and detail the pros and cons of mobilizing the term “community” in my research. Illustrating the problem with using identity as a tool for community formation, I explore how identity creates normativities and develop the idea of kinknormativity, unique from other normativities in linking the legitimacy of informed consent to social privilege. Moving away from identity, I argue that affect provides the necessary opening for BDSM communities to form, analyzing two main affective modes: feelings of belonging and discussions of gender. I show that affective belonging is built in both locations through solidarity and educational events, which are more frequent in London than in Budapest.

  • Rob of Amsterdam Leather Fashion Designer His Last Video Interview: June 21, 1989
    ©Jack Fritscher, Ph.D. Pre-Publication Web Posting 219 THE MAN WHO MADE THE CLOTHES THAT MAKE THE MAN Rob of Amsterdam Leather Fashion Designer His Last Video Interview: June 21, 1989 On June 21, 1989, Rob Meijer, who died in 1990, took time from his busy Wednesday afternoon to sit for a video interview in his office above his Rob of Amsterdam couture shop and art gallery. I had first visited Amsterdam in 1969, rooming wantonly above the Argos Bar, but this was different. It was Holland at the height of the AIDS pandemic, two months after Drummer publisher Anthony DeBlase designed the leather pride flag, three months after the death of leather fashion photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, four months before the earthquake that destroyed the Drummer office, and five months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Everyone was on edge. Turmoil was in the air. Rob received me and Mark Hemry, my husband and creative partner of ten years, because we were from Drummer, which was very much a leather fashion magazine. Just two hours before, we San Francisco leathermen had landed at Schiphol Airport. We had been flown in by Roger Earl and Terry Legrand, the pioneer filmmakers of the 1975 leather classic Born to Raise Hell. Because they liked how we directed and shot leather features for our Palm Drive Video studio, they had hired us onto their other- wise European film crew as cameramen to do a two-camera shoot for six S&M video features for their Marathon Studio based in Los Angeles. It was Terry who had convinced Rob to sit for our interview, which Mark shot.
