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 [...]

The Many Faces of Submission

The Many Faces of Submission

By lunaKM on July 22, 2009

Types of submissives come in as many varieties as wines; there is one for every palette and preference.

Accepting 24/7 D/s as Real

By lunaKM on June 9, 2009

Part of the typical criticism of D/s full-time is that it can’t be real. No one can live 24/7 D/s. I hear it a lot. These people say that life gets in the way and you can’t be Dominant and submissive all the time. The people that say they can’t lead a 24/7 life always [...]

Dominance as a Slave Training Tool for Better Submission

By lunaKM on June 4, 2009

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 [...]
