I posted about this before, but I thought it was worth a reminder.
Maybe I will see you there

Links for Tea Service
Sir asked that I post about tea service. I am curious about tea service so here are some links that i have come across that were helpful to me I hope that they are to you.
I have come across two different types of tea service. One is a japanese tea service and the other is an english tea service.
One of the groups that I am involved in is called Dom/submissive Formal Dinners (DsFD). I would recommend joining this group for additional information on tea service. DsFD is also set up as a place to learn about serving at formal dinners with a Dominant/submissive theme.
enjoy and happy serving.

Fetlife Decides to Appologize
John Baku, the founder and owner of FetLife, issued an apology for the banning of some individuals earlier this week. I think this is an excellent step forward for this site, and a view of the character of the person behind the site. Now frankly, I am not sure what happened, but it is good to see that John can apologize for a mistake, and move forward.
As an additional step forward, all individuals who were banned earlier this week were invited back.
I sincerely apologize to the whole community including those who were banned. I was wrong with the way I handled things. I should of given everyone that was banned two formal warnings before they were banned and held myself to the same standards I set for the rest of the community. I am sincerely sorry.
For the majority of the people who were banned I will be sending them an email to apologize for the way I handled the situation and invite them back to FetLife. I understand if they are apprehensive about coming back here but I hope over time they will join us.
For those who gave donations and want a refund I will refund them. All they have to do is email me requesting for me to refund their donation.
All I can say is well done. We will all make mistakes, but it is how we deal with them that reveals our true character.

FETLIFE: A Review.
A while back, I decided to give Fetlife a try. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it is a site for those of us interested in BDSM. Kind of a BDSM friendly MySpace or FaceBook. Initially, I was underwhelmed. It was slow, there wasn’t much of a community. I was disappointed. But I kept my eye on it.
I can report now that I really do enjoy it. I am there at least once ever day now. The groups are fantastic (at least the ones I have joined). The community has grown tremendously. For a second opinion I recomend you look here. I found the link and her background about Fetlife interesting. She even wrote an article about it for the Montreal Mirror (FetLife is based in Canada).
I think the following explains FetLife the best.
Baku’s philosophy is disarmingly simple. “My mantra is, do what’s best for the women. If you do that, the men will come.” With this in mind, he refuses to add a refined search feature, so men cannot seek out women within specific parameters in order to cruise them.
“It’s not a dating site, it’s an anti-dating site,” he deadpans. “If you do meet somebody through FetLife, it’s because you had good conversations in a group and hit it off. Any other way is purely about sex.”
It may seem counter-intuitive to create a site for kinky people that’s actually not about hooking them up to have kinky sex. But, says Baku, it works: “Because of this, we have an unconventionally large number of women on the site. The majority of dating sites have under five to 10 per cent women, but we have a ratio of almost 50-50. Or let’s say 40-50, when I put in the genderqueer, male-to-female and female-to-male people.”
Check it out. I am MasterVoid there too.

Kinky Folks Are Happier
According to this article I found in the Times of India, Kinky folks are happier. I knew I was a happy guy, but it is nice to see that as a whole we are happier.
Contrary to the general assumption that people involved in bondage and discipline and sadomasochism (BDSM) are sexually deficient, a new sex survey has now shows that such people are not damaged or dangerous, and might even be happier than those who practise “normal” sex.
“Our findings support the idea that bondage and discipline and sadomasochism (BDSM) is simply a sexual interest or subculture attractive to a minority,” News.com.au quoted Associate Professor Juliet Richters and her colleagues as writing in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The researchers even said that the practice was more common among gay, lesbian and bisexual people, and that participants were more likely to have been more sexually adventurous in other ways.
Happy days.
