Can You Separate BDSM and Sex?

Can You Separate BDSM and Sex?

By lunaKM on December 7, 2009

When Master and I get to play, it’s quite sexually charged. We find the play and the energy we swap as very sexual. Our play time usually ends in sex of some form. That’s just how we roll. Does it always have to be that way? Heck no! In fact, when I was casually playing, [...]

My Submission is Better Than Your Submission

My Submission is Better Than Your Submission

By lunaKM on August 24, 2009

Competition is human nature. From the time we are children we start to see who is ‘better’ and hopefully that is you. It could be as simple as having more ice cream than your sibling thus making you better or getting the best grade on a test, making you better than everyone else in the [...]

Do I have to Like Pain to be Submissive?

By lunaKM on May 12, 2009

  This week’s video post is about masochism and submission. I mentioned this in the post about myths that submissive’s aren’t always masochist. I thought this topic deserved a more in depth discussion. I’m a masochist. I get sexual pleasure from pain. That’s wired into me. I’m also submissive. It’s who I am. For me, [...]
