If you are looking for something to do and you will be in the NC area…why not attend the Triad Pride Event happening 5/7 – 5/11.

On Saturday they will be having a Pride festival in Festival Park from 11:00am – 3:00pm. At 8:00pm come and enjoy the sounds of the Triad Pride’s Men’s Chorus.

Interesting Write-up on Last Weekend’s International Ms. Leather

I run across all sorts of interesting things while I am browsing the internet. Last weekend was the international Ms. Leather contest and I found a very good write up of it here.

They had a couple of videos of the event, and you know how I love those.

Article on BDSM at Canada.com

I ran across this article on BDSM at the Canada.com website.  Been seeing a lot of articles recently about BDSM out of Canada.  This one seems to be fairly well balanced, though focused on how normal couples can spice up their sexlife.

We all vie for control and cede to authority to some extent in our lives. You submit to your boss and to the law. A parent may be deferential in their public or private life, but be very domineering when it comes to their child. The power dynamics of D/s – dominance and submission — are not exempt from the bedroom, either.

“We have both sides in our nature,” says Calgary sexologist Trina Read, “but most people are followers. They don’t feel comfortable taking on a leadership role, especially in bed.”

Lack of initiation is one of the biggest problems in long-term relationships, next to lack of communication, says Read.

“Generally, one partner initiates sex more than the other. But after being rejected over and over again, they eventually give up, and it’s harder to keep sex going,” she says.

Protocols (From Another Source)

I ran across a posting in a local group about a course on Protocols. Entitled “Creating a Personal Protocol”, this class may be a good place to start if your interested in deriving your own protocols.

This course will take you, step by step, through the process of creating a personal protocol for use in your power exchange relationship.

The course is open to both submissive and dominant participants.

With your paid enrollment, you will receive a download copy of Shannon Reilly’s book, Creating a Personal Protocol.

Each exercise in the book is included in this course and you have the opportunity to submit your responses to the exercise for feedback from the author.

Additionally, participants my discuss the exercises with each other and the author via the forum

Enrollment in the course gives you 9 Months of access to the course site.

While it is too late to sign up for this month’s class, they have others listed.  Check it out.
