If you access the site using the links provided in my posts, (whether you purchase a monthly subscription or an individual course), a large portion of the cost is shared with XCBDSM to help us continue to offer educational resources on this site and at in-person workshops across the country.

Kink University: Sensual Sensory Deprivation (About $9)

Mona Wales and Siouxsie Q demonstrate the wide array of articles and devices (including blindfolds, earphones, and masks) you can use to put your partner into a submissive headspace . Insulate them from sights and sounds so they focus purely on the sensations you deliver.

Let’s start with an easy one- here’s a statement I hope we all recognize as bullshit: “Only skinny people can be suspended!” With me so far? Ok. Now, here’s what I sometimes hear as a counter to that particular piece of bullshit: “Anyone of any body size can be suspended!” Unfortunately… also bullshit. It’s a pit of snakes! Let’s jump in!

New Piercing Method

UPDATE 7/26/10: In response to questions I have been receiving: The needle was removed from the sterile packaging immediately before the piercing, manipulated using medical tools, and inserted into skin that had been cleansed. I took all appropriate precautions to ensure that the procedure was safe to my standards. But let’s be clear. No piercing is 100% safe, no matter what lengths you go to. There will always be risk of infection, scarring, nerve damage, pain, bleeding, and bruising. Everyone must determine their own Risk Profile. This scene was within acceptable levels of risk for both myself and my bottom.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled post </update>:

Wow, I had some fun last night. I’ve been itching to try something since Thunder a couple weeks ago.

I saw a presentation on “Needles for Bondage” by Tony Buff and Derek Desilva. http://www.tonybuff.com

One of the techniques he presented was bending the needle to create a fishhook shape. It gave me an idea, which I shared with them later that day, to use a similar technique to create a corkscrew shape.
