I enjoy reading Gawker on pretty much a daily basis. They linked to an article where the gentleman analyzed 10,000 porn stars. The chart below is a the results of his research.

BlackB.E.A.T. 2013 Canceled
Sad news folks. I received word yesterday that BlackB.E.A.T. won’t be happening this year. While the details as to why the event was canceled, they did say that they were looking for volunteers to run the event in 2014. You can read more about it here. As avid readers of my blog already know, I have attended many of these events over the last decade and have served as the director of security for them for a number of occasions. I do hope that they are able to find someone to take over for them, or to assist them in bringing back the conference.
That said, a few individuals are wanting to meet at the same weekend. I like the idea, and if I can get away, I might just join them. You can find out more on FetLife.

The Parable of Three Cubes of Ice
Today I was attending the Local MasT (Masters and slaves together) meeting and was reminded of a tale I told years ago. Some how it had slipped my mind. But tonight I am sharing with you all.
The rule was simple.
3 cubes of ice. She was to have His drink prepared each evening when he came home. He was specific. Not 2 cubes, not 4 cubes, but exactly 3 cubes is what he wanted in his drink. And thus it went for a time.
One evening, she ran out of ice and only had two cubes for his drink. So she prepared his drink, and waited for his punishment. He came home, preoccupied with work, and took his drink, patted her on the head, and went off to the study to work some more. Not a word was said about the cubes.
So the next day, she wondered why he didn’t say anything. So she gave him a drink with 4 cubes. And again he was too busy to notice.
Two days became a week, then two, then three. Inside the slave wondered if he still loved her, what was wrong, why wasn’t she being punished.
Eventually he noticed… And thought back and couldn’t remember when it had changed. He knew it wasn’t the first time.
And he was afraid of admitting a mistake.
Sadly, because neither would speak up on this, the relationship would end.
Take a moment, and think on the lesson and learn the importance of noticing the difference in 2 and 3 cubes makes in a relationship.

Is FetLife About to Go Out of Business?
I saw this question in the tech support forum on FetLife today. This sparked me to think about FetLife’s current situation. A few weeks ago JohnBaku announced that FetLife lost its relationship suddenly with it’s payment processor. Now if you read the full thread, you will see the end where iBill starts talking. To be honest, I don’t know who to believe about what happened. And I don’t care. It isn’t relevant to me and my life right now.
Now, I personally don’t think FetLife is going anywhere anytime soon. But it does beg the question what do I do if FetLife goes away.
FetLife has offered a unique opportunity to grow the Fetish and BDSM communities like nothing ever seen before. It allowed us to connect. It allowed us to exchange ideas. It allowed local communities to grow at an unbelievable rate.
It was a good thing.
But, is your community prepared for what happens if FetLife goes down? Will your munch group survive? Do you have people’s email? Do you have a website? Do you have contingency marketing plans? Don’t build your community only on the back of FetLife, instead leverage FetLife to market what you build.
