The Impact of Velcro Collars on the Symbolism

By lunaKM on January 2, 2010

This week’s video post is about velcro collars. To submissives, a collar is one of the most important things they have.

A collar for submissives is one of the most fundamental symbols of their relationship and one that is usually gaurded and protected with their heart.  With all the essays online about collars I thought I’d jump in with my own take on what everyone says and believes about collars.

Do You Answer When Submission Calls You?

Do You Answer When Submission Calls You?

By lunaKM on May 29, 2009

There is no way to be sure but, the large majority of information about the D/s lifestyle is in fiction form. While it’s nice to escape into emotional and physical stories, they are fantasy. For submissives looking to get their feet wet, these stories could hinder or harm the very ideas that develop in the [...]

Random Quote

In one way or another I’ve always suffered. I didn’t know why exactly. But I do know that I’m not so scared of suffering now. I feel more than I’ve ever felt and I’ve found someone to feel with. To play with. To love in a way that feels right for me. I hope he knows that I can see that he suffers too. And that I want to love him.— Lee, Secretary (2002)
