Ask SehAnru | Nicknames for Kink Sites

I was wondering what might be a good on-line nickname or screen-name? I want to protect my privacy and I am having trouble coming up with a good nickname that would do that?   Greetings, I had to giggle at this question because I have found myself sitting and staring at the computer screen many [...]

How to Use the “30 Days” Memes Effectively to Maximize Submissive Growth

From the Submissive Guide Newsletter 12-17-11 We’ve all seen them on other people’s blogs. You may have even done them as a way to prompt yourself with something to write. They are fun.

What is Submission to You?

From the Submissive Guide Newsletter 11-19-11 Thinking back on the beginning of my exploration into submission I came to realize some simple things about submission. It’s personal. So many of the websites, including Submissive Guide try hard to define submission in terms that others can understand and hopefully identify with, but there are plenty of [...]

Research Page: Male Submission

Today I’m bringing together the resources I’ve collected about male submission and Female-led relationships. Much of what I found was porn, so it is needless to say that there is very little of substance about this topic. I appreciate that fuzzyP writes about it for Submissive Guide and look to any other male submissives who [...]

Review: Ambrosio’s BDSM Site

Like FetLife But Want a Personals Atmosphere? Introducing iTaboo.com!

I was introduced to iTaboo not that long ago by the owner of the site. He knows that he is in direct competition with FetLife and yet, he’s not. His site is dating and personals directed with all the social tools that FetLife has developed. It’s still in its infancy but I think it could [...]

[Video] Can I Access Subspace Too?

The Real Truth Behind the Fear of Topping from the Bottom

There are a lot of things on the internet talking about topping from the bottom as being a bad bad submissive thing. It’s made people terrified that everything they do could be crossing that terrible line. It’s not true. I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll say it again. Bottom topping isn’t as bad as it is [...]

It’s been a pretty busy week for Submissive Guide. Instead of giving you some personal news I’d like to share what changes the site has gone through and what’s planned for the near future. We have migrated the site to Kinky-Blogging blog hosting. This is to afford KnyghtMare ease of maintenance with only one set of [...]

Play sessions are a less common happening in the KnyghtMare household lately but this weekend we had a wonderful session that he says was one of the best ever. While sex always has an element of exchange of power and pain, it’s great to connect in a sadist/masochist way once in a while and hopefully [...]

It’s like KM and I can never catch a break. We were sick with Bronchitis this week that has left us weak and sore. I didn’t get nearly as much work done as I’d have preferred both in the home nor on the site, but I do hope to be able to “catch up” when [...]

This week has been a slow week here at casa de lunaKM. Spring has sprung which brings allergy season here and the weather has been wonky. One day it’s over 80 and the next it doesn’t reach 70. This has caused my wrists to swell and ache from the carpal tunnel so I’ve done only [...]
