With the Stroke of a Cane: Enjoying Caning

With the Stroke of a Cane: Enjoying Caning

By Guest Author on January 13, 2010

This is a guest post by Nadia West for the BDSM activities series. I’m fairly new to caning, but I’ve discovered that I like it a lot (even if I can’t take as much as some people can). I was afraid of canes for a long time because I had heard they’re rough pain-wise. While [...]

The Top 30 Posts of 2009

By lunaKM on January 5, 2010

A year ago I started a small blog project called Submissive Guide. I wanted it to be an organized place where I could voice my opinions about submission, help novices discover who they are and explore BDSM through the written word. Since that time it has grown to so much more, including an e-book, a [...]

Using Contracts to Negotiate a Relationship

Using Contracts to Negotiate a Relationship

By lunaKM on November 6, 2009

When you get married, you have to legally sign a document attesting to your decision to be married. The legal document can come in many forms but most have a brief section about what each party declares for the union, how they will treat each other and how commitment will be displayed (change of names [...]

The Truth About Orgasm Control and Denial

The Truth About Orgasm Control and Denial

By lunaKM on May 28, 2009

The idea of orgasm control or denial strikes fear in novice submissives. “What do you mean give over my ability to orgasm whenever I want?” Sure you could think of it that way, but in terms of your submission it could mean so much more. Let me start with the basic definitions. Orgasm Control: When [...]

Maintenance Spankings; Why Do It?

By lunaKM on May 26, 2009

This week’s video post is about maintenance spankings. Maintenance spankings are a way to keep the relationship fresh, revive the roles on a regular basis and to not let life away from the dynamic interfere with what your relationship goals are. A maintenance spanking can be anything from a scheduled night of the week where [...]

Learn a New Skill to Enhance Your Service with Free Online Courses

By lunaKM on May 15, 2009

There are many ways that submissives can learn new skills and training that will enhance what you can provide your Dominant. Just imagine being able to speak another language, or have secretarial skills. Perhaps learning gardening, technology or sewing? Your skills can be expanded endlessly and a lot of it for free.

Two Dominants

Two Dominants

By Guest Author on April 11, 2009

Today’s guest post is by Aria, a bi poly switch kinkster. So currently I have 2 dominants, Edge and Vice. You would think that to have 2 Doms I would have to be the most submissive woman ever, but I’m a switch. I often call myself a beta-top because I love to co-top with them. [...]

What Is Polyamory Anyway?

What Is Polyamory Anyway?

By lunaKM on March 14, 2009

Today’s post comes from May (follow her @readheadgirl) a writer and artist. For the longest time when I heard “polyamory,” I thought of hippies in the 70s having orgies at drug parties. I blame my misconception on why I took so long to realize that I am a polyamorous person. Like me, many people have [...]

The Meaning Behind Service and Serving

The Meaning Behind Service and Serving

By lunaKM on December 22, 2008

When someone becomes a submissive for the first time and finds a dominant the first words I generally hear them say is that they like being of service or they like serving. When asked what it is about service that they enjoy it tends to boil down to sex and play. There is far more [...]

The Nitty Gritty of the BDSM Lifestyle

By lunaKM on December 20, 2008

There are so many primers out there about BDSM I’m not sure if another one is really needed. Then again with all the basic questions asked on forums and chat rooms about BDSM it’s unlikely that my words will not be read by someone and that they will take something new from them. BDSM is [...]

Random Quote

I have come to believe that obedience is the very spirit of slavery; it is the special charisma of slave creatures. Obedience is the structural steel of our slave identity, and the spine of a slave’s conviction.— Guy Baldwin, SlaveCraft
