The Female of the Species

The Female of the Species

By thisgirl on August 23, 2010

I am bi-sexual, and I have been ever since I can remember. When I was young I obviously didn’t know the way I felt were the first  signs of bi-curiosity because the roots of things are never clear back at the time and only make sense much later on! My first experiences Not long after [...]

By lunaKM on July 21, 2010

Chemistry and Prince Charming

Chemistry and Prince Charming

By Guest Author on April 12, 2010

This is a guest post by kahluna. It’s funny to me to see people wanting a Dominant but then looking for “chemistry” as well. They want to fall in love with the Dominant of their dreams. Apparently, these submissives have come into the lifestyle thinking that a Dominant is BDSMs version of Prince Charming. Ladies, [...]
