OK, we’ve all seen the bad spanking porn where the model starts yelling and screaming like a stuck piglet when she gets the first gentle tap on her bottom, right? So you’ll understand why, at first glance, I thought EverythingButt.com’s Tara Lynn Fox was going a little overboard with her facial reaction in this [...]

NYC is lucky this week, because my friend, West Coast based kinkster and educator Mollena Williams, is in town. These are workshops you’d otherwise have to travel to national conferences to see, so take advantage of her presence here, and go!

Here’s her schedule:

TES Presents: RACE: The Final Frontier”

The idea of playing into stereotypes and bigotry, of doing scenes that recall horrors from the darkest moments of history is, in many folk’s opinion, best left alone. But…for those who are drawn to explore deeper crevasses of our psyche, the desire to explore that taboo can be compelling. Even if you’re not desirous of acting on these fantasies, taking charge of them and letting go of guilt can be an amazing release. Should you decide to act on these fantasies, you’ll get tips on how to approach this edgeplay, what to do if things do not fall out as planned and the pros and cons of doing these scenes in public venues. Expect the unexpected and prepare to surprise yourself.

LSM presents: Taboo Play, and Working Through Extremes

If you have ever had a scene that lured you with the promise of edgy intensity, but wondered if you could handle the situation before, during or afterward, this discussion is for you! We will explore the reasons some people enjoy play that is VERY edgy psychologically, emotionally and physically, and how you can go about making that fantasy a reality. Inherent in this discussion is the level of responsibility of both / all partners, how to manage risk, and how you can support your partner in the aftermath. Edgy play can be hot, and we will look at ways to avoid some common pitfalls, as well as how to recover with grace and honor when things go off of the planned path.

Instigate NYC: Strong Slaves, Bodacious Bottoms & Ass-Kicking Submissives: Embracing Dichotomy

Self-identification is difficult for anyone in the alternative lifestyle. It can be even more challenging for people who see themselves as strong in their lives but desirous of submission. There is a great deal of pressure in the BDSM community to “seem submissive,” so what do you do when you see yourself as strong and fierce and yet crave mastery and domination? Believe me, you are not alone. There are many submissives and bottoms and slaves who are strong and independent and finding their way through the maze of the Kink Community! This class is an intense discussion of self-assessment personal identification, passion and power. From those who struggle with their desire to submit, to those who strive for greater strength of purpose, this class will be a wonderful opportunity to bond with the likeminded and suss out your strength in an open setting. And for tops, dominants and masters, this is an excellent opportunity to get into the mind of those who are strong and embrace the dichotomy of strength in submission and freedom in slavery!

I'm having a weird week with spotty internet connection, so just letting you know I'll have a great YATBK up tomorrow. In the meantime, you can check out my post over at EdenCafe.

It's kindof lively over there! I stirred the pot with my Sex Spectrum last week. It was so interesting to see the difference between TBK & EdenCafe reader comments. TBK readers are happy to declare themselves kinky perverts, whereas the EC crowd balks at what they perceive to be "negative terminology."

I forget that some words hold a lot of power in our culture. I don't mind the words "pervert," "slut," "cunt," and "bitch," but I can't stand the word "moist."

Give me one of your least favorite words!

Found on Sensual Arousal.

The Sun:

Sweden is home to the most bisexual babes in the world, a new study has revealed. Nordic naughtiness is all the rage with the blonde beauties over there.

But they don’t top the league when it comes to lasting the longest in bed - held by Brazil - or come near San Francisco as the kinkiest place to visit.

Here, Rhian Sanville takes a flick through the global sex atlas and picks out some of the hottest facts ever.

New Zealand - Totalling an average of 20.4 sexual partners in a lifetime, New Zealand has the most promiscuous women in the world, a survey reveals…

~ This Week’s Top Three Posts ~

Start Without Me – It’s for when one of us is too tired, or not in the mood, or out of town, or the other of us is too horny to wait. But now, here, right in front of me, you’re touching yourself, playing yourself, and it is the fucking hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

Wicked Tongues - There are so many different ways that a mouth can connect themselves with my cunt. And so many partners, each with their own way of connecting with me.

“Vanilla” Bigotry – I effectively retired my personal usage of the word “vanilla” when one of these sick fucks told me that he hated that term. He said it was condescending, and the implication that kinky people have any idea what goes on in other people’s bedrooms just because they aren’t fucking around in a dungeon was ridiculous.

~ e[lust] Editress ~

Audible – More hushed giggles, more kissing sounds. A gasp followed immediately by a quiet, restrained moan. I had to make up the images in my head, try to picture what caused that gasp, who’s mouth was on what body part. Or was it even a mouth?

~ Featured Post (Lilly’s Pick) ~

Swing Shift Volume 33- We’re “Sexually Festive!” – What I do know is that I love Veronica now more than ever, that we choose our extra-marital partners with care and respect, and never fail to remember that our primary relationship is the most important one.  If we’re considered sluts or promiscuous by others, so what?

Above image is of a go-go dancer in a glass booth on 6th street around midnight, Austin, Texas (taken by Superpixel). I might have some left when I get back, but they’re really, really popular — and I’m thrilled! Now I’m about to head down the the Hilton lobby to give out the Chocri chocolate bars I designed, free-Tweetup-flashmob style. Why not? They’re chocolate, almond, coffee and an aphrodisiac surprise. Thank you, Chocri!
