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 [...]

All Female Submissives are Bisexual and Other BDSM Myths

By lunaKM on May 9, 2009

The world is full of false truths. These false truths tend to be the assumptions of the uninformed or the beliefs of those who want to scare novices out of their wits. Many of these are because of a narrow view of the world or an inability to accept varying viewpoints. In this post I’m [...]

Collars

Collars

By lunaKM on March 17, 2009

This week’s video tip is about collars. Collars are a commonly discussed topic in BDSM. There is a wide range of information and opposing viewpoints on a lot of ideas surrounding collars and collaring. One of the ideas I’d like to cover today is the idea that a collar means more than a wedding ring [...]

What is a Mentor?

By lunaKM on March 10, 2009

This week’s video tip is about mentors. A mentor is a person more experienced in certain aspects of life than you are. They are also more open to varying viewpoints, have a desire to teach and aide others. A mentor is a role model and a very special counselor to those they council. In business [...]

RACK: An Alternative to SSC

By lunaKM on February 23, 2009

In a previous post I talked about Safe, Sane and Consensual or SSC, a safety mantra that quite a bit of the BDSM community has picked up as a way to explain ourselves to non-lifestyle people. It’s an easy way to explain what can’t really be explained. I don’t intend to make this a primer [...]

The Differences Between Bottom, Masochist, Submissive and Slave

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 [...]
