Submitting to Pain

By nan {SL} on September 1, 2010

BDSM immediately conjures up images of a whip-wielding Dominatrix punishing some poor submissive who is screaming in pain. As delightful as that image is, not everyone who is a bottom or submissive is in this lifestyle to experience pain. It must be daunting for the newbie who does not enjoy pain to come to a [...]

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, [...]

How To Help Your Dominant Recover From Play

How To Help Your Dominant Recover From Play

By lunaKM on November 9, 2009

When aftercare is mentioned, it is rarely associated with the Dominant. We hear all about how to help the submissive come down from the endorphin high, treat the marks and aches and emotionally recover from the scene. Do we think that Dominants feel nothing during play that they don’t need care afterwards? Think again. When [...]

Carte Blanche – Repeating Misbehavior Patterns

Carte Blanche – Repeating Misbehavior Patterns

By lunaKM on May 14, 2009

Getting in trouble. We’ve all been there a time or two. It comes with learning and training new things as well as changing behaviors. Our Dominants generally don’t derive any pleasure out of punishing us and the guilt we put on ourselves can be more damaging than the misdeed in the first place. Allowing that [...]

Finding Your Spirituality In Service

Finding Your Spirituality In Service

By lunaKM on March 20, 2009

A recent journal prompt I came across really inspired me to write about it.  It is spirituality. A lot of what I hear about spirituality is related to religion, but BDSM can be spiritual too and I’d like to explore that with you. What is the relationship between spirituality and religion? Is BDSM spiritual? –Submissive [...]

Caring for Yourself After a Scene: Self-Aftercare

Caring for Yourself After a Scene: Self-Aftercare

By lunaKM on January 26, 2009

Aftercare is an important part of recovery from play for many people. It is most common to experience a drop in emotions and energy after play from within hours to even days later. All too often it becomes a necessity to take care of yourself after a play session because your top was just visiting [...]

Basic Manners and Etiquette

Basic Manners and Etiquette

By lunaKM on January 9, 2009

Do you think you have a good grasp of good manners and etiquette? We all know someone as an adult that has horrible manners and no etiquette. Learning basic manners is usually done as soon as children can understand you. The ones most pressed upon them are ‘sharing and taking turns’, ‘no staring’, and ‘please [...]
