Traditions Forgotten

There are a couple of items that have come to my attention that reminded me that we aren’t teaching the new people properly. So here are 2 things to keep in mind.

1) Keep it private.  By and large, people in this Lifestyle want to keep their privacy.  We tend to avoid full names (often just using an alias or a scene name). But one thing people forget is that it applies both in and outside of an event.  The privacy part that is.  Don’t go up to people you only know in the Scene and say “Hi” to them like you know them or you are their friends.  Just nod (or better still don’t nod), and move on.  You don’t know what they are doing in their life. who they are with, how they would have to explain they know you.  Just don’t do it.  Move along, nothing to see.

2) Scene etiquette 101. Don’t touch other peoples gear. Don’t touch other peoples property, Don’t get too close to a scene. Do’t talk too loud.  Do read this.

That is all for now.

MasterVoid Presents: Electrical Play

Saturday I will be presenting on one of my favorite topic at the monthly meeting of CAPEX. If you are interested in this topic, I encourage you to attend.

Real Life Is Hard

We are all united by our desire for the unusual. We crave our secret fetishes. We keep them private, and build up elaborate fantasies about them. If we are lucky, we get a chance to enact them. Make the real. Sometimes it is for but an hour, others it is for a weekend. A few of us get to live them all of our lives. We find that special partner to connect with. To help us reach our dreams.

Real life gets in the way a lot of times. Jobs, family, physical and mental health. Each of these can cause us to loose our path and loose our focus.

That has been my life lately. I am working hard on getting back on the path, but it is difficult. A challenge that must be faced. This isn’t just a part of my life, this is who I am. It is what makes me happy. It is why I chose my life partner and married her.

There is much that has been done, but there is much more that there is to do.  For those of you in crisis, good luck. I know what its like.

The Directory is an extensive collection of links and descriptions to locality-based groups, gatherings and resources worldwide.  It has been in development for several years, being actively expanded and edited nearly every day.  Currently, it has 1000s of links and 100s of daily views.  Additionally, it has articles of use to lifestyle newcomers and to group organizers.

I’ve been meaning to link to it before. I think it will help you find someplace to get together. I wish a resource like this was around when I started out.

Bondage, Dominance, Submission, and Sadomasochism: Why S&M will never go mainstream. – Slate Magazine

I am seeing more and more articles about S&M in mainstream media. Here is one from Slate. I’m going to have to read it more than once to digest it, but I am not liking the flavor so far. Still he has some major points right, even if it is a bitter pill.
