Review: The Surrendered Wife

Review: The Surrendered Wife

By lunaKM on December 21, 2009

This month I dived into a book full of controversy with its approach to living intimately with your husband (or partner). I read The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle. I didn’t read it to find the reason for the argument between feminists and the author of the book’s ideas. I read it to see what [...]

The Basics of Negotiating a Scene

The Basics of Negotiating a Scene

By lunaKM on August 26, 2009

It can be very scary approaching a Dominant and asking them to play with you. The butterflies in your belly can make it very difficult to take that first step. It can be every worse if you two don’t negotiate the scene so that you get what you want out of it and s/he does [...]

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. When someone tells you that you are submissive and you finally admit to yourself that you are submissive, which can be a journey itself, you can figure out how your submission differs from another by what type [...]

5 Ways to Bring Out Your Dominance In Bed

By lunaKM on June 23, 2009

This may seem like a really odd topic to be posting in a submissive blog, but there is reason. I’ve had a question recently from a submissive woman who has been asked on occasion to be assertive and dominant in bed by her Dominant. She says she can’t connect with that because she is submissive [...]

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 [...]

The Value of Checklists

By lunaKM on April 3, 2009

This week’s video tip is on the BDSM Checklist. If you’ve just started out in BDSM and have asked a few questions, it is very likely that you have been directed to use a checklist to become familiar with what you may or may not like in play and roles and fetishes. If you haven’t [...]

Stereotyping Submission as Feminine

Stereotyping Submission as Feminine

By lunaKM on March 19, 2009

I read in an online forum recently about the stigma that a Master or Dom should be manly or masculine. So many replied that they agreed and had found a Dominant that was physically stronger than they were. I was not in agreement and questioned why they idea of masculinity was associated with Dominance. No [...]

5 Ways to Recognize Topping from the Bottom

5 Ways to Recognize Topping from the Bottom

By lunaKM on January 23, 2009

Topping from the bottom is a misunderstood term in BDSM, especially if you are a novice. The idea behind the term is to actually help submissives understand their role, and isn’t more than a faux paus. During interactions with your Dominant, it’s a lesson to know that you can’t control what is going on. Topping [...]

The Differences Between Bottom, Masochist, Submissive and Slave

By lunaKM on January 19, 2009

As a point of personal opinion I’d like to define the differences between very basic terms so that there is no confusion as to who I am referring to when I mention either of these terms. I write this guide in my perspective and provide my mentorship and guidance with these terms clearly defined for [...]

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 [...]

Discovering Your Submissive Nature

Discovering Your Submissive Nature

By lunaKM on December 20, 2008

Discovering your submissive nature isn’t always a sudden process. For many people it takes some soul searching to see that you may enjoy being a people-pleaser or that when someone asks you to do something you happily do it without a second thought. For others it takes some social reprogramming to allow your full nature [...]
