BDSMonday - First Scenes


It's BDSMonday!

Today's question is, what was the first BDSM scene you ever participated in (or witnessed)?

I'm pretty sure, with both my current Sir and my previous ex/dominant, that we started with D/s...but I honestly don't remember for certain. Which is funny, because we don't actually play a lot with D/s!



And of course this question lends itself nicely to the Vanilla Corner! What was the first BDSM scene you ever read about, and what did you think of it?

I don't remember my first, but I always loved reading about people getting tied up and stuff when I was a kid :D

♦About The Author♦

Bio:
I am a new author and hope to publish many of my books. I have been working on my first book for some time now, but I am finally making that leap. I have many stories that I want to put to paper and hopefully you all will follow me on my journey.

stephI currently live in Charleston, WV with my two beautiful children. I do work a full time job and I have a passion for writing. My only hobby is reading.

I like to write whatever is on my mind but I like to explore with my writing. I like to have my books feel like your inside them as the actual characters. I like my characters to be strong. Sex is important between loving people therefore all my books contain graphic scenes but are not classified as erotica. The character's themselves have more basis.

If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me, I would love to hear from you.

BDSMonday - Scenes VS Impromptu


It's BDSMonday!

Today I'm asking about different kinds of play, and which you prefer to participate in or read about.

By a scene, I mean advanced planning, with specific ideas in mind: "You're going to be the pirate captain who ties me up, spanks me, and has his wicked way with me!" A scene can be set out by the top, bottom, or both!

By impromptu, I mean grabbing a sub for a surprise spanking, greeting your Dom(me) at the door on your knees with a cup of tea, anything spontaneous.



BDSM readers--do you prefer reading about elaborate scenes, or spur-of-the-moment, wild play? (Or a bit of both!)

Review - Seti's Heart by Kiernan Kelly



Okay, I have to admit to a pre-existing bias: I’m kind of an Ancient Egypt nut. Combine that with M/M and you can pretty much guarantee I’ll read it. That being said, this book was well worth reading! It’s the perfect blend of well-written sex and romance, and good, old fashioned adventure. It reminded me a lot of Anne Rice’s The Mummy—but better, because both the main character and the love interest were men! I loved how possessive Seti was, and I think Kiernan did an excellent job of describing his reactions to waking in the 21st century. I will definitely be reading more by this author

Kiernan has several free reads available: Counting Down and the F.B. and Matt Collection

Review - A Marked Man by Lynn Townsend


I was hooked on this book from the first line. I’m not a big fantasy reader, but A Marked Man is the kind I enjoy—fantasy elements backed up by solid historical research, well-rounded characters and excellent writing. The main character, Mace, is just the sort of charming rogue I’ve always loved reading about—think Han Solo. Jewel/Catreen kicks ass. Lynn Townsend allows all of her characters, male and female, to show their weaknesses and emotions, making them relatable and sympathetic.

I found myself staring in horror at my Kindle as I watched the percent finished at the bottom. When it got to 99%, I couldn’t believe the book was over and I wanted more!

There were a few passages where I wasn’t sure if the events were currently taking place or were in the past. Part of that was deliberate I think, when Mace has the soul stone and is confused, but there were a couple of times further in that were unclear to me.

If you enjoy character-driven fantasy, a good adventure story, and very well written romance, you’ll love this book!

BDSMonday - Play Parties


It's BDSMonday!

Today I'm talking about play parties.

In case you don't know, a play party is a gathering of kinky people where the attendees play or watch others play, as opposed to a munch which is typically in a vanilla setting and play of any kind is a big no-no.

I'll admit to limited experience. I live in a small city, and the kinky community here is small. All of the play parties I've attended bar one were organized at least in part by me. The one I didn't help organize was very, very small, and held in someone's home. Some of what I say might not apply in all cases, so I'd love to hear from people with more experience!

First, how do you get invited to a play party? Some are completely open--anyone with the cash can buy a ticket. This is especially true of very large parties that have been running for a number of years. Smaller ones tend to be more selective, both because of size restrictions and concerns about the safety of those attending. Most of the parties I hosted were semi-private. A group of vetted people would be sent direct invites, and any remaining tickets would be sold at munches. Interested people had to attend at least one munch so we could meet them in person. We also had a list of people who were not welcome, because of past incidents or major personality conflicts with people who were attending. We also tried to mostly invite people who we knew would play, because that way it's more fun for everyone.

It's usually okay to attend a play party and not play, but it's best to ask ahead of time. Play parties aren't public, but they aren't in the bedroom, either. Anyone playing at them has to realize that they may be watched while they play. We always left little areas where people could stand and watch play. If someone tells you they don't want to be watched, or any other request, please respect that.

Stay out of the way of play! The people involved in a scene don't want to be tripping over you or have to worry about accidentally hitting you with a riding crop. Stay out of the scene unless you're invited. Don't talk to the participants unless you've been invited to, or unless that scene is specifically stated to be a demonstration.

Another important part of play parties is DMs or dungeon monitors. The DM is there to make sure everyone is safe and happy. At our parties, people who had already played weren't allowed to DM, because that meant they were in an altered state and probably not as focused as someone who hadn't played. Not all play parties have them.

I don't remember an instance where our DMs had to intervene with a scene, but they helped clean up stations, brought water, snacks, pillows and blankets to people who'd played, and just kept an eye on everything.

If you have a question about a scene, or if it's making you uncomfortable, approach the DM. Don't try to stop the scene yourself. If you need to, leave the room. Not everyone is going to play the same way as you, but that doesn't mean they're doing it 'wrong'.

Due to hygiene/safety, you'll probably have to bring your own toys to a play party, but there will probably be different stations set up to play at. We had a spanking bench, St. Andrew's cross and massage table. If you can, it's nice to clean up the station when you're finished playing--some form of disinfectant should be provided. Sometimes you or your play partner are too out of it to clean up. That's okay, just let someone know.

And a quick note, as someone who hosted parties: getting there early to help to set up, and staying late to help take down everything is a super awesome thing to do if you're able! Putting on play parties is a lot of work, and chances are your help will be appreciated.

Thank your hosts for putting on the party. Don't constantly pester them about when the next party is going to be, because eventually the answer is going to be, "Whenever you put one on." Play parties should be fun for everyone, and that includes the hosts!

Play safely, and see you next week!

Excerpt:


Boston, Massachusetts
“In other world news tonight, in Tokyo, Japan, a serial killer has been terrorizing the eastern portion of the city for the last six months.”
John reached out to switch off the set, but something held him back.
“The Ronin Killer, has been dubbed so by Tokyo Metropolitan Police because of the use
of a samurai sword to spear his victims.”
John sat at full attention, uncertain whether it was the military man in him, or the empathic psychic. Old habits didn’t just die hard, they went kicking and screaming. He stared at the screen. Police were loading sheet-covered corpses, apparently two bodies together, into the medical van outside of what appeared to be a fancy hotel. The top of the sheet protruded upward, attesting to the sword. It was obvious the killer had skewered his victims together. Christ…
“The Ronin Killer, so named after the masterless samurai warriors of Japan,” the anchorwoman went on, “refers to the manner in which the killer chooses his victims, seemingly at random, and then murders them with a samurai weapon. Police have been frustrated in the efforts to capture the Ronin Killer before his next strike. Their only clue is the manner in which two victims are killed at once, either in an embrace or during sexual intercourse.”
“Damn,” John murmured, a sick feeling rising in his gut. He continued to watch the footage.
“Police Inspectors Natsuka Yamamoto and Toshiro Genjin of the Criminal Investigation Bureau have been on the case since the first victims appeared nearly six months ago. They refused to comment on the string of murders.”
The cameras zoomed in on the two men. They were leaving the building. A middle-aged, shorter man walked in front of the other detective, seeming to shield him, but the cameras managed to catch glimpses of the second detective. A few seconds sufficed for John to see that the younger man was slim and handsome. John’s heart sped up slightly. The detective’s ebony hair framed an angular face in sexy layers that curled over his collar.
John watched the screen, his gaze glued on the taller figure of the young detective until he was no longer visible. The segment ended and John switched off the set. He shook his head. There was a time when he would have immediately booked a flight to Tokyo and turned up at the police station, offering his services to catch the killer. Hell, that Japanese detective was almost good-looking enough to pull him from his rest cure. However, his nerves were still shot from the series of cases he’d worked on with police over the last few years. Four months hadn’t proved to be enough of a vacation. His hands had only stopped shaking in the last week.
He pushed the image of that guy from his mind, fighting back the nagging spirals of heat whispering about in his long-neglected groin area. John Holmes filled his days with walks in the park, counseling at the VA, and whatever leisure and athletic activities would keep him fit between reading trashy detective novels and staring into space. No antique stores for him, nor any other place where the lives of the dead could crash in on him. No touching other people so he could experience all their grief and anguish and learn their deepest secrets. He didn’t even take his reading material from the library or get it at used bookstores because he’d sense the lives of the people who’d touched the book before him. He was resting until his own soul told him he was ready again.

BDSMonday - American Dad!: The Missing Kink


It's BDSMonday! 

Once again, I'm really sorry I missed last week...I've been having computer troubles, but it's doing all right at the moment *knocks on wood*

Anyway, this week I figured we'd take it easy, relax, and listen to some music. Specifically, You've Got A Kink from the American Dad! episode The Missing Kink. Sorry it's not the best quality recording, YouTube didn't have much of a selection. (If you enjoy the song, you should watch the whole episode!)

I don't think I need to point this out, but this video is VERY NSFW!
