USA – AnnaLynne McCord says that getting into a BDSM relationship with “Prison Break” star Dominic Purcell helped her work through her past sexual trauma.

The “90210” star says of her former boyfriend, Purcell — whom she describes as a “big, strong, angry Aussie” — “he changed everything.”

McCord, 34, reveals in a candid interview with Giddy’s Marisa Sullivan that she unexpectedly went public with her past sexual abuse when she was pulled onstage at a charity event for survivors.

“When I first told my story, I was dragged up on stage during an event … I was thrown out on stage like a deer in headlights,” she recalled.

Being put on the spot at the gala, she thought, “‘Everything’s been said, everything’s been done’ … I didn’t know what to do, so I said, ‘You’ve heard all the stories from the survivors and the founder, but you don’t know the story of one girl.’ And then I thought, ‘Oh, why did I say that? That was stupid! There’s a thousand people here!’ So, that’s how my story came out.”

Cosmopolitan magazine was covering the event, and reached out to her to do a story in 2014.

“When I was 19, I was sexually assaulted by a friend who was crashing at my home,” McCord tells Sullivan on her Giddy series, “Bare.” “I woke up and he was inside me, and I froze. My whole body … shut down and I didn’t know what to do. Then I blamed myself because I didn’t fight back … Because I didn’t try to stop it.” She’d also told Cosmo that she suffered physical abuse as a child growing up in Georgia.

Years later, “I was going through severe panic attacks, and started to undergo PTSD treatment. I literally went into BDSM — bondage, domination, sadomasochism — because I couldn’t feel anything,” McCord told Sullivan.

That was around the same time she also started seeing Purcell.

“Who broke through the wall?” Sullivan asks McCord, who replies, “A very, very ferociously strong man. Dominic Purcell. You might know him from ‘Prison Break’? He was bustin’ up some heads and breakin’ out of prison. It took a big, strong, angry Aussie. I had such severe sexual abuse at such a young age that my body decided, ‘This is unsafe for you to feel.’ So I was completely numb.”

However, “Dom and I … had this relationship. Yeah, Dom was my dom. There are many reasons why that man will be my forever person … he’s staying at my house right now — we’re not together [but] we’re family is what it is now.”

She says that Purcell “was a mirror back to me,” and that “Dom created space for me, but he called me the f–k out, he did not take bulls–t, and that’s why I trusted him. I trusted no masculine energies, I trusted no men. Because I figured, ‘I’m going to push every f–king button that you have, and if you cave, I can’t trust you.’” But “he changed everything.”

McCord also says of her connection with Purcell: “There was a sexual aspect that was underlying, that was pulling us … and we had explosive sex.”

The on/off couple seems to currently be off, according to McCord’s Giddy chat.

The pair began dating in 2011, and announced their first breakup in 2014. They then reportedly renewed their romance again a year later, but wound up splitting in 2018. By last year, there was speculation that the pair were back on, as they were spotted on a trip to the beach in Southern California together — with lots of PDA.

But in her new Giddy interview, McCord says they’re not together.

McCord was also reportedly with Purcell when he was in a near-fatal accident on the “Prison Break” set in 2016 — which required the actor, 51, to get 150-plus stitches in his head.

Earlier this year, McCord revealed she’s been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder.

Giddy’s “Bare” series has also featured Tom Arnold, Jillian Barberie and Gretchen Rossi, among others.

UK – The most popular fetishes have been revealed using Google Trends data, so which one are you into the most? MatressNextDay conducted the study and compiled a list of the top kinks

See video and more photo’s on: Dailystar.co.uk.

During the start of lockdown, couples spent more time exploring in the bedroom.

Whether it’s being adventurous alone or with a partner, people had time to find themselves between the sheets.

Now the most popular fetishes have been revealed using Google Trends data as MatressNextDay looked into the stats.

It found masochism has become one of the favourites in recent years with a 300% search increase compared to 2020.

Meanwhile in second place with a 250% surge in search in the last year is sploshing.

The company also worked with sex educator Kate Sloan who explained what exactly each fetish is.

Here are the top 10 fetishes, starting from the bottom…

10. Role Play

This came in at 10th place with a 5% search increase over the past year.

Role play is to act out or perform the part of a person or character/or pretending to be in a different situation.

Kate said: “Try meeting up with your partner at a bar or restaurant and pretending you’re two strangers on a first date.

“This is a good roleplay scenario for beginners because you can essentially play the character of yourself, just in a different situation.”

9. Sexual Humiliation

With a search increase of 26% over the past year, sexual humiliation came in at 9th place.

Kate said: “Erotic humiliation is the act of embarrassing someone in order to excite them sexually.

“It’s important to negotiate beforehand so you know which topics are and are not okay to use as humiliation fodder.

“For example, many people don’t like to have their appearance insulted, but find it arousing to be lightly teased about their arousal.”

8. Bondage

In 8th place came bondage, with a 31% search increase over the past year.

Kate said: “Bondage is the act of physically restraining someone for the purposes of erotic excitement.

“This can be done with rope and cuffs.

“Always leave at least two fingers’ worth of space between the restraints and the person’s skin so you don’t cut off their circulation.”

7. Cuckolding

Cuckolding is the 7th most trending fetish among Brits over the last 12 months with a search increase of 61%.

The sexpert explained: “To cuckold someone is to have sex with someone else in front of a partner.

“While many find this to be a hot fantasy, you don’t have to actually incorporate another person to experiment with cuckolding.

“Instead, you can talk dirty to each other about the third party that one of you could have sex with.”

6. Dominance

With a 62% search increase over the past year, dominance is the 6th most trending sex fetish.

Kate revealed: “Dominance is the act of controlling a session or ‘being the boss’ while your partner plays a more submissive role.

“It can be a good, healthy outlet for impulses that would be viewed as too controlling ‘in real life’.”

5. Objectification

In 5th place came objectification, with a 70% search increase over the past year.

Kates describes this as “the practice of treating someone like an object, whether that be an object of sexual desire or a literal object”.

She added: “Good aftercare is crucial for objectification play – spend some time with your partner(s) after a session just hanging out.

“This can help you transition more smoothly back into ‘real life’ after such a psychologically intense experience.”

4. Gagging

Gagging has received a search increase of over 70% as it came in 4th place.

According to Kate “to gag someone is to push an object/body part into their mouth”.

She explained: “Have a safe-signal, since the person won’t be able to talk.

“They could, tap their partner’s arm twice to signal that they want the gagging to stop.”

3. Impact Play

With a search increase of just over 140%, impact play came in at 3rd place.

Kate added: “Impact play can include spanking, paddling, flogging and caning.

“You can also use a stoplight safeword system, where green means ‘keep going’, yellow means ‘please pause and check in with me’.

“And red means ‘stop immediately’.”

2. Sploshing

In 2nd place with a 250% search increase is sploshing.

Sploshing is getting wet and messy during sex usually by incorporating food items.

Kate explained: “The most important thing with sploshing is to do it in a location that’s easy to clean, like in a bathtub.

“Don’t get any sugary substances in or near the vagina if possible, because of the risk of a yeast infection; if you do, rinse the area.”

1. Masochism

The fetish with the highest search trend over the past year is masochism with a 300% search increase compared to the year before.

According to Kate, this is a sexual interest in receiving pain, whether it’s through biting, scratching or spanking.



Wealthy Dominatrix’s Killer Uses ‘50 Shades of Grey’ Defense

ITALY/ROME – A court in Switzerland will deliberate the fate of a debt-ridden bouncer who says he accidentally killed his rich British girlfriend during a sex game gone wrong.

In a brightly lit courtroom in the conservative Swiss city of Lugano, a jury is learning the intricacies of kinky sex and erotic asphyxiation to decide whether the death of a wealthy British heiress was motivated by pleasure or pain.

Anna Reed, the 22-year-old victim of this sordid tale, was found strangled to death on the marble floor of a bathroom in the swanky four-star Hotel La Palma au Lac on the shores of Lake Maggiore on the border between Italy and Switzerland in April 2019. Her erstwhile boyfriend, 29-year-old former bouncer Marc Schatzle—whose tattoos run the gamut from FTW (Fuck the World) to ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards), readily admits he killed her—but insists he didn’t mean to.

On Thursday, the German was decked out in an army coat with ornamental shoulder pads, according to a source in the courtroom. Schatzle described the details of their last night together in a legal strategy that has been dubbed a “50 Shades of Grey” defense, named after the popular book and film that brought the ins and outs of sadomasochistic sex to a mainstream audience.

Schatzle insists Reed was into kinky sexual encounters, and was a regular patron of Berlin’s storied KitKat Club, where public sex with strangers is encouraged. The fetish club nearly closed in 2019 but managed to stay open by charging for livestreams of the pornographic partiers. Reed, whose social media moniker was “Berlin Baby” before it was taken down, had posted various shots of herself inside the club. She also posted dozens of shots of herself with Schatzle in what made them appear to be a loving couple.

The two met in Thailand three months before Reed’s death, when the young socialite was on a stopover as part of a round-the-world trip— a 21st birthday gift from her father Clive Reed, a wealthy British horse breeder who is estimated to be worth upwards of $35 million. Reed’s mother died after falling down a staircase when her daughter was just 17. The young woman was so traumatized she dropped out of high school, according to her friends. Reed’s father and surviving sister Millie have refrained from commenting on the details surrounding Anna’s untimely death, though a friend of the dead woman’s sister, journalist Olivia Utley, says Reed is not at all as the press has painted her. “I happened to know Miss Reed a little—her sister, Millie, was my friend and housemate at university, and Anna came to visit several times in our first year,” she wrote in an op-ed on the The Article, last year “ She was chatty, funny and super bright… I remember being jealous of her drive and ambition.”

Schatzle, whose shaved head highlights the word “Warrior” tattooed above his left eye, was nearly $75,000 in debt when they met thanks to an alleged cocaine habit so well known he called himself Marc Dirtywhite—a term used for raw or unprocessed cocaine—on his social media channels, the court heard.

Those inside the courtroom say they watched the tattoo “Fuck The World” engraved on his knuckles as he demonstrated how he had first put a towel around Reed’s neck, and then added pressure at her request as they had sex on the floor—before he accidentally strangled her. “We had sex on the bathroom floor. I put a towel around Anna’s neck,” he told the court, according to transcripts seen by The Daily Beast. “Then I pressed my hands towards it with her hands on my wrists, as we had done a hundred times before. Suddenly she stopped moving. Her tongue was sticking out. I tried to revive her.”

Schatzle then says he ran down to the reception desk, where witnesses at the hotel say he repeatedly punched his head with his fists, screaming to them that his “girlfriend had turned blue.” The hotel says he came down at 6:30 a.m. By the time the ambulance arrived a few minutes later, Reed was already dead.

Five months after her death, cleaners at the hotel found Reed’s Platinum credit card hidden in the fluorescent ceiling tile of the hotel elevator. Schatzle’s fingerprints were on it, but he told the court that he had hidden it there “as a joke” in front of Reed after he said she insisted on paying for everything. It is unclear when he put it there, but the last charge on the hotel room was a $145 bottle of champagne the two shared before retiring to their room for the final time. “We took the elevator to the fifth floor. We teased each other. It was about her credit card and about paying everything,” Schatzle told the court. “So I held it up just for fun. She slipped into the light…” When asked why he disclosed this only after the card was found five months after his arrest he told the court, “You wouldn’t have believed me anyway.”

The jury heard from a number of witnesses during the trial, which is expected to end with a verdict next week. A former boyfriend told the court that it seemed odd that Reed would play the submissive role as she was often a dominatrix in their past encounters. Reached by The Daily Beast, the boyfriend confirmed that he did not envision Reed in that role. “She liked to be in charge sexually,” he said. “I cannot imagine she would ever be the one being choked.”

Another boyfriend said he could not see Reed ever being involved in that kind of sex, though she did like to party. “Anna was a happy and ­charming girl. She was wealthy but she wasn’t arrogant with her money,” he told the court, according to transcripts. “We would go to sex parties but there was nothing ever extreme or violent. To be fair, she went to the clubs and parties more for the ­dancing, as she loved dancing.”

During the last court hearing for the defense, the suspect’s lawyer Ysar Ravi gently guided him to describe the couple’s passionate relationship, painting a picture of habitual eroticism that simply went wrong. “How often did you have sex that night on April 9, 2019?” he asked, according to court transcripts. “Was there oral sex? Was the sex consensual? How exactly did the choke game come about?” Schatzle vaguely answered each question and again repeated that it wasn’t the first time they had used erotic asphyxiation. Ravi underscored that such a death was not rare. Hundreds of people die each year during this dangerous eroticism, including Kill Bill actor David Carradine and INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence. Ravi insists that Reed is among those who took things just a little too far.

In his final statement before final arguments next week, Ravi pleaded with the court to overlook his client’s appearance and judge the case on the facts. “Certainly my client is not a saint but he’s not capable of murdering someone,” he said. “Anna’s death was unexpected and sudden. It was undoubtedly negligence but it was a sexual practice they had both shared before.”

Lead prosecutor Petra Canonica Alexakis is asking for 19 years for the charge of murder. She will give closing arguments next week before the jury deliberates, and insists Schatzle knew very well that Reed’s bank account could give him a life he couldn’t obtain alone. She says Reed doubled her expenditures since meeting Schatzle, spending around $10,000 a month on expensive hotels, meals and travel. She told the court Reed had told him she wanted to break up, which is why he killed her. “Marc Schatzle liked the good life, the holidays and all the trappings, but he alone couldn’t afford it,” Alexakis told the court. “After he met Anna, his life had an upgrade. She was ideal for him—beautiful, charming and, crucially, rich. He killed her for a financial motive because the night she died they had argued and she had threatened to leave him. He invented the charade of a sex game to save his own skin.”

The court also heard that neighbors to the couple’s suite heard a loud argument the night of the murder, some three hours before Schatzle went down to the reception hall. They also reported hearing furniture being overturned and glass being broken. The court also heard evidence that could compromise the prosecution’s case including how the initial forensic police botched Reed’s autopsy which resulted in an inconclusive time of death, and a potential loophole for the suspect.

The trial will conclude next week with a verdict expected on Thursday.

The sorrowful dominatrix: cartoonists Steve Bell and Martin Rowson on drawing Angela Merkel

With her generous features and a dolorous countenance, the German chancellor has been an artist’s dream

‘She turned out to be interesting rather than easy’: Steve Bell

EU – Sixteen years is a very long time in politics, and since 2005 we’ve had Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron (and Nick Clegg), Theresa May and Boris Johnson – while the Germans have just had Angela Merkel. It usually takes time to get the hang of drawing a politician, particularly one from a foreign country, and Merkel was no exception. I’d only just about got a handle on the SPD’s Gerhard Schröder when he was replaced by the CDU’s first female leader, and my first attempts were a little shaky and somewhat speculative. Was she a Thatcherite? Would she be pro-Bush, like Blair, or continue Schröder’s opposition to the war in Iraq? Would she be easy to draw?

See more and larger photo’s on: Theguardian.com.

She turned out to be interesting rather than easy, with large, generous features, hooded, quite kindly eyes with splendid bags under them, a prominent, rounded chin, and jowls to die for. One has to be very careful while drawing her that she does not come out looking like Kenneth Clarke. I must confess now that I’ve always found her hugely attractive – unlike Clarke – and her features always put me in mind of a particular old friend. Conservative she may have been, but definitely not a Thatcher. She seemed far too rational and pro-Europe for that.

The first cartoon in which I actually managed to get a grip on her likeness was in 2006, where, unusually, she appeared as a dog. In a reworking of Briton Rivière’s Victorian masterpiece Sympathy, the role of the little girl on the stairs is taken by George W Bush. Merkel, ever the pragmatist, was far less critical of Bush’s foreign policy disasters than her predecessor, though by no means as slavish as Blair, who is jealous, having had his nose up Bush’s arse for the preceding six years.

Europe is a constant theme when it comes to Merkel, particularly what she would see as her spirited and principled defence of the nascent single European currency. Others, however, may have interpreted her as Europa, screwing the Greeks rather than the bull, and this is where the figure of the dominatrix of austerity, carrying a whole display team of gimps, comes into play.

Helmut Kohl, her gigantic predecessor as CDU chancellor and former mentor, often fell into the same role, in a leather one-piece bathing suit, fishnet tights and cute pickelhaube helmet – with, in his case, even more disastrous consequences for the inhabitants of the former Yugoslavia, rather than the Greeks.

For me, Merkel’s finest hour, after her extremely guarded response to Cameron’s feeble attempts to renegotiate the terms of Britain’s membership of the European Union, came in response to the terrible refugee crisis of 2015 to 2016. Instead of closing the borders, she offered to receive one million new migrants. Though laudable, as a conservative politician this caused her severe electoral problems and a challenge from the far right at home.

She narrowly held on to power in 2017 in coalition with the SPD, but announced that she would not be standing for a fifth term, which brings us neatly up to date with a reprise of Sympathy in 2019, where a much older Merkel takes on the role of the girl on the stairs forced to bear the attentions of the monstrous Arse Dog Johnson, getting Brexit done all over the carpet. Emmanuel Macron looks on in disgust.

‘I tried to capture a hint of her soul’: Martin Rowson

Among the repertory company of political actors cartoonists feature in their output, we can’t help developing favourites, and often feel a sense of personal loss when they inevitably shuffle off the world stage. This is wholly divorced from either sympathising with or viscerally loathing the politics – or even, quite often, the individual. It’s just the buzz we get from drawing them.

When John Major resoundingly lost the 1997 election, Steve Bell told me he had lost his reason for living because of the Zen-like karmic thrill he got from doing the holes in Major’s airtex underpants. Likewise, George Osborne’s departure from frontline politics still has me grieving: I loved drawing his head because it clearly has no bones in it. And I’m feeling a similar pang of regret at the imminent retirement of Angela Merkel, who I’ve been drawing regularly since 2008.

None of us, of course, can do much about the way we look, though public figures in positions of power often try – either through botox or Photoshop. But while Silvio Berlusconi’s eyebrows got pulled ever closer to his dyed hairline, it’s significant that the woman he described as “an unfuckable lard-arse” didn’t appear to be that bothered about the face life had dealt her, clearly part of her political shtick as an ordinary and homely Ossi who, nonetheless, quietly succeeded in dominating Europe for over a decade.

Her face, in fact, is rather lovely, with more than a hint of the young Iris Murdoch about it. To a cartoonist’s eye, however, she’s obviously the MGM cartoon dog Droopy’s long-lost twin sister. So her defining feature for me has always been the dolorous countenance of her face in repose. This, in turn, has informed the role she’s played in the satirical narrative I found myself creating around her. Small, hunched and apparently unobtrusive; often passively observing some other idiocy nearby; when active, appearing to act more in sorrow than anger.

Even when she was helping immiserate the lives of millions of southern Europeans, particularly in Greece, in the Euro crises from 2011-15, I drew her as morose rather than gleefully malevolent. Whether that reveals the inner truth doesn’t really matter: cartoons are journalism and therefore tend to be the first response to the immediate appearance of things.

But I reckon this portrayal does capture a hint of what, for want of a better term, we may call Merkel’s soul. As she endured in office, I caught a definite whiff of long-suffering discomfort coming off her as she stood uneasily next to cavalcades of clowns and crooks at international summits, or in any meeting with any representative of the British government over the past 11 years. She tried her not-very-good best to disguise the general air of toe-curling embarrassment choking the atmosphere in the room, all of which was etched so eloquently on her expressionless face. Thus, albeit unconsciously, Angela Merkel smiled insincerely and squirmed inside for us all, and for that alone we should salute her.

UK – MANCHESTER – A sex club just yards from an MP’s office has been shut down after neighbours complained.

The club, named The Kink Society, in Dent, Greater Manchester, described itself as a private members club specialising in “alternate, BDSM, fetish, meet ups and socials”, Manchester Evening News reports.

It is open from 8am ‘to late’ seven days a week and has a ‘fully-equipped dungeon’.

It also advertised as a “safe space haven for members of the LGBT+ community to congregate and meet without the dangers of victimisation, bullying or prejudice”.

The club used to be found at Advocates House on Market Street in the middle of the town centre – just a few hundred yards from MP Andrew Gwynne’s constituency office and the town hall.

But on Wednesday on Officers from Greater Manchester Police visited together with enforcement officers from Tameside council and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service after repeated complaints from residents.

It has now been shut down on the grounds that there was no working fire detection in place, and no ‘separation between commercial and residential premises’.

Pictures on The Kink Society website show a red lit room painted black with a four poster bed, restraints and a wall of bondage accessories.

Events are priced at between £10 and £40, according to the Yell listing.

It has earned a string of five star reviews on the site this month, with one poster describing them as “pioneers in their field”.

Paul Fearnhead, head of protection at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Working closely with the council and police, we have acted on fire safety concerns, resulting in robust action being taken to keep people safe.

“GMFRS takes all breaches of fire safety extremely seriously and will take enforcement action where necessary to protect our communities.”

Chief Inspector Lee Broadstock, of GMP’s Tameside division, said: “This premises was causing serious concern within the neighbourhood area and, thanks to the multi-agency approach taken, this premises is now closed and enforcement action is being progressed.

“This shows that we take robust action and use our full partnership powers to keep our neighbourhoods safe.”

The council is also investigating other alleged unlicensed activity and change of use of the premises.



How to Safely Try BDSM For the First Time

Experts explain what is BDSM, how to do it, and how to talk to your partner.

USA – Chances are you’ve heard of, seen, or even sang about BDSM at one point of your life—Alexa, play “S&M” by Rihanna. Jokes aside, if chains and whips excite you, too, then you’ve likely been interested in trying BDSM, which is pretty common. One 2014 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found out of the 1,516 adults that were surveyed, 65% of women and 53% of men fantasized about being sexually dominated, and 47% of women and 60% of men fantasized about dominating someone else. 

See larger photo on: Hellogiggles.com.

If you’re someone who lies in these percentages, then first, know that it’s completely normal, and second, before trying BDSM, it’s really important to know exactly what you’re getting into. Because the kinks involved in this sexual play can involve pain and intense sensations, you and your partner will want to be fully informed and safe. To help you do just that, we spoke with two sexologists to break down everything beginners need to know about BDSM.

What is BDSM?

BDSM is an acronym that describes sexual practices including bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism, and masochism. According to sexologist Rebecca Alvarez Story, BDSM is all about allowing people to explore power dynamics within their relationship with consent. “BDSM is a broad term for a variety of sexual activities, such as role-play and restraint, where there is a consensual power exchange,” she says.

When performing BDSM, there are different roles that a person can take on. These roles are typically split into three major categories known as dominants, submissives, and switches, sexologist Marla Renee Stewart and sex expert for Lovers, a sexual wellness brand, tells HelloGiggles. “Dominant-types (also known as D-types) are usually the ones who are inflicting the pain, punishment, and reward, whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional,” she says. They prefer to have roles where they are tops, recreating scenarios where they’re called daddy, sir, dominant, dommes, or master. 

“Submissive-types have roles such as bottoms, little/little girl/boy/child, pets, slaves, submissives, and other tops of service roles which are on the receiving end,” explains Stewart, whereas switches are comfortable in either role.

Why would someone be interested in BDSM?

There can be many reasons why people like BDSM. “Some people want to dive deeper and participate in more bondage and domination acts as a means of exploring their perception of control,” says Alvarez-Story. “While others may use it as a way to introduce more novelty into their sex life, or build connection and trust within their relationship.” 

There’s also the psychological aspect of BDSM, explains Stewart. “People like BDSM and kink because giving or receiving pain and punishment tap the same hormone receptors that interpret pleasure,” she says. “There is a surge of dopamine, serotonin, and other happy hormones that make you feel good and give you a natural high when you engage in BDSM.” 

Research looking into BDSM shows that both dominants and submissives reported increases in relationship closeness and decreases in psychological stress from before to after their sexual play. Studies also show that both parties enter a pleasurable altered state of consciousness when engaging in BDSM. Bottoms entered an altered state called transient hypofrontality, which was associated with reductions in pain, feelings of floating, feelings of peacefulness, feelings of living in the moment, and time distortions. Tops, in contrast, entered a state of flow, which is associated with focused attention, a loss of self-consciousness, and optimal performance of a task. Ultimately, however, everyone’s reason for why they like BDSM and kink is unique to them.

How can you safely practice BDSM?

When it comes to BDSM, the name of the game is all about consent and open communication. “It is important to understand what you like and don’t like so BDSM can be a gratifying sexual experience,” says Alvarez-Story. To help you discover what you’d like to engage in, do your research. There are plenty of educational online resources and workshops that can help you know your boundaries in BDSM. For example, Bloomi, an online marketplace to learn and shop all things sexual wellness, has a “Yes, No, Maybe List” that shares 69 sex and intimacy acts for you to think through and discuss with your partner(s).

Stewart says you can also attend a munch, which is a casual lunch gathering to learn about BDSM and network with other kinksters. “You can attend kink workshops and conferences to help you get more education and exploration,” says Stewart.

Once you’ve done your research, it’s helpful to set some ground rules with your partner so that boundaries are established and respected. “For example, you can create a contract that lists the activities you’d like to explore, acts that are off-limits, and things that are a potential possibility,” says Alvarez-Story.

Establishing a safeword is also an important part of BDSM. A safeword is an agreed-upon word or phrase that anyone, especially a submissive, can say to immediately stop the activity or session. You can also experiment by adding toys into your sexual sessions, such as The Round Double-Paddle from LoversStores.com, which Stewart says has the perfect softness that allows you to experiment on your own body before hitting someone else.

And finally, Alvarez-Story says what you do after sex (also known as after play) is just as essential in BDSM. “Taking time to care for and connect emotionally and physically is especially important following BDSM activities,” she explains.

How can you talk to your partner about trying BDSM?

So you want to try BDSM but aren’t exactly sure how to bring it up to your partner? The best approach is to be open, honest, casual, and to have the conversation before you begin having sex. You can also introduce it to your partner by watching The Secretary or 50 Shades of Grey with them as a conversation starter to see how they feel about it and have a chance to talk about what you like about the films, says Stewart. “Introducing it this way takes the responsibility off of you just in case they feel some type of way about it,” she says.

Some other conversation starter questions that Alvarez-Story recommends asking are:

“Hey, what do you think about trying __ or __ together?”

“I love when we have sex and your dominant side comes out. How about next time we try a blindfold or cuffs?”

“I was reading about ___, and I think it could be really exciting to try this together on our next date night. What do you think?”

At the end of the day, as we previously mentioned, consent, setting clear guidelines, and doing your research are key. BDSM is unique to everyone, so it’s all about doing what feels good for you and your partner. “Remember BDSM is a judgment-free practice that provides a safe way to communicate about and act out your fantasies and desires,” says Alvarez-Story. “It doesn’t require you to engage in extreme sexual activities, even small acts can bring more play into your relationships and heighten sensation and satisfaction.” 



Playboy model inspired by Kim K says ‘Dominatrix-style’ is next big fashion trend

WORLD – Cover model Iasmin Santos, from Brazil, believes that corsets, black leather and lingerie will be the biggest new street style craze as she donned thigh-high leather heels

Playboy model has said that wearing Dominatrix-style clothing is the next big thing in street fashion after being inspired by Kim Kardashian’s NYC leather look.

Reality star Kim wore the head-to-toe outfit as she checked into the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York ahead of the Met Gala.

The extreme look covered even the Kardashian’s face in the shocking appearance which emulated the look of a Dom – someone in the BDSM world who dominates their partners and wears lots of leather, chains and sky high heels to intimidate.

But, while some of us might be questioning the style, Playmate Iasmin Santos was blown away by the look.

And, she’s planning on adding elements of “Dominatrix-style” into her wardrobe including thigh-skimming all leather boots.

Covergirl Iasmin, from Brazil, explained: “The new trend is to dare and test limits.

“Sensuality and pleasure must be taken to the street in the form of clothes now.

“Kim Kardashian is my biggest reference.”

And, for those who think dressing like a sex worker is a bit far, Iasmin insists that people on the street won’t be that taken aback.

She said: “People walk the streets in such vulgar clothes that I don’t think the dominatrix-style would attract as much attention.

“After all, I want to bet on a classic style of this look.”

In this version of the BDSM style, Iasmin proposes that fashionistas rock exposed black lace lingerie and black leather boots.

“This combination always works,” added the model.

And, Iasmin is already pushing the look on social media and recommending her fans get involved too.



‘SEX GAMES’ Amanda Knox says being whipped by dominatrix was a ‘very positive experience’

USA – CLEARED murder suspect Amanda Knox has told how she stripped to a thong before being whipped by a dominatrix on a cross.

She said she was doing research for a podcast and found it a “very, very positive experience”.

The American author, 34, was wrongly convicted and spent almost four years in jail over the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher, 21, in Perugia, Italy.

Speaking in her latest podcast, she told how she took part in the dominatrix session while researching what “good sex games look like”.

She said: “A part of me was worried the tabloids would find out.

“That it would be yet another headline about Foxy Knoxy and sex games.”

Real-life dominatrix: Did Kim Kardashian or Madonna wear BDSM best?

Worldwide BDSM News From The Media Posted on Sun, September 19, 2021 04:04:28

USA – Those trendy red carpets at the VMAs and the Met Gala are known for hot, cutting-edge fashion — and the stars who attended both bashes flaunted a variety of looks that were razor sharp.

Or should we say whip smart? At least three women celebs wore risqué numbers inspired by the titillating world of the dominatrix at Sunday’s 2021 VMAS. The black leather fest came a day after Kim Kardashian channeled “The Gimp” from the 1994 movie “Pulp Fiction” while entering a Manhattan hotel ahead of Monday’s “American Independence” Met Gala.

Sa a lot more larger photo’s and video’s on: NYpost.com.

But, according to two real-life dominatrixes in NYC, not all the BDSM-inspired ensembles were created equal. They applauded a couple of the kinky get-ups and dismissed another as “Dominatrix Light.” One blasted the zip-eyed hood sported by the multi-millionaire ex of Kanye West as “cheap” and “something you’d buy from Amazon.”

So, how would socialites Kim Kardashian, her older sister, Kourtney, singer-songwriter Kim Petras and showbiz veteran Madonna fare in a dungeon full of masochists? The Post asked Mistress Marley and Mistress Kimi Inch to rate each of their trendy styles.

Which suggestive garb would have their paying guest quaking in his boots? And which would be as intimidating as a highly flammable Halloween costume from the bargain rail at Ricky’s?

Marley and Inch gave the curvy mom-of-four a firm thumbs down for her “inauthentic” top-to-toe leather creation. Marley said the ill-fitting hood was “too loose and like a shower cap” while Inch ventured it was purchased from Amazon and had “restrictive” eye slits which could cause an unladylike stumble. “Did she have someone leading her by a leash?” Inch quipped. “Because how can you even see in that thing? The only advantage is that she didn’t need to do her makeup.”

The pair also criticized 40-year-old Kardashian’s trench coat – an item no working dominatrix would wear. “She must be dying from heat exhaustion in there,” added Inch. “While I’m impressed by her pushing boundaries, it just feels like she is trying too hard.” Marley concluded: “The whole thing comes across as a gimmick.”

Note: Kim’s controversial full-face mask look at Monday’s Met Gala eschewed black leather in favor of softer fabrics — but her look still dominated the event’s beige carpet with a highly “I am very in charge here” vibe.

Madonna at the 2021 VMAs

Neither dominatrix could fault the raunchy bustier which complimented the enviable figure of the 63-year-old “Vogue” singer. “She has the quintessential liquid leather look and I can see myself wearing it for a play session,” said Marley, adding that Madonna’s biker cap was the perfect suggestive accessory.  “Her outfit showed off her bum and legs and it’s clear that she’s proud of her figure. There’s a lot of cleavage on show, which pulls the whole thing together.”

Kimi Inch, who explained that Madonna’s 1992 “Erotica” album sparked her interest in BDSM when she was in middle school, said the mega star “nailed it” with her plunging bodysuit, fishnet tights and Louboutin heels. “All she needed was a riding crop or a flogger in her hand,” said the Texas transplant by way of NYC.

Kourtney Kardashian’s VMAs corset

Inch also admired leather-clad Kourtney for her nod to the frequently misunderstood world of the dominatrix. However, she felt the 42-year-old “could have pushed the envelope further.” Inch said: “It would have been more fun if she’d shown up in knee-high boots instead of heels.”

“The whole thing comes across as Dominatrix Light,” Marley agrees, explaining that the look would better suit a trendy nightclub than a cellar full of chains and handcuffs. “It’s nice and cute — but it doesn’t spell dominatrix to me.” She recommended the addition of a spike-studded choker to add a sexy taste of BDSM.

Kim Petras’ latex balaclava

The dominatrixes were divided on the 29-year-old’s outfit, which was dominated by a latex balaclava that completely covered her platinum blonde hair. Marley liked the liquid-looking mask but described the rest of the ensemble as “absolutely horrible.”

She said the “frumpy” dress reminded her of the TV show “Little House on the Prairie” and the white shoes needed to be replaced by black leather boots. “It’s like Kim’s saying: ‘OK, I want to look like a dominatrix, but I’m not confident enough so I’m going to throw on this hideous dress.’”

Inch, meanwhile, leapt to Petras’ defense. “She’s creating some kind of duality with what looks like a religious garment over the top of a latex bodysuit which suggests an erotic energy,” she said. But she did concede that, in common with Kim Kardashian, the talented German — who sported a more demure “cowgirl” look at the Met Gala — must have been overheated. “Latex isn’t breathable so she probably sweated off 20 pounds over the course of the evening.”

UK – EXCLUSIVE: Mistress Sandy Star, 47, is a dominatrix who is also an ambassador for OnlyAccounts. Here she reveals her kinky sex tips for parents struggling to find time for the bedroom

Being a parent is challenging at times, especially if you have certain needs to fulfil.

And with the school holidays in full swing, when do you ever have time to do the dirty?

One dominatrix has revealed her sex tips for couples who are trying to fit in some jiggy time while their kids are at home.

Mistress Sandy Star, 47, is an ambassador for OnlyAccounts, who specialises in turning on men half her age.

She’s known as a “MILF” in the sex industry, where scores of clients tune in to her content to satisfy their needs.

Now Mistress Sandy, from Hertfordshire, UK, has shared her tips for parents who can’t find the time for each other romantically.

“When kids are around it’s really hard, if an opportunity arises you have to take it with both hands – literally!

“Finding new places to have sex is fun, adventurous and feels a bit naughty… it can be a huge turn-on.

“Locking doors arouses suspicion and kids are very inquisitive humans!”

Although she recommends locking the doors, the dominatrix admits it’s not really her cup of tea.

Instead she enjoys having quiet sex which she describes as “being a fun and sexy challenge” in itself.

But while it’s important to be experimental with where you do it, Mistress Sandy believes you should be willing to do it anytime.

She explained: “Be willing to give it a go at any time of day – there are no rules when it comes to great sex.

“If you have kids, try and find some time when they’re at school (this is a huge perk of working from home).

“Another advantage to day-time romps? Creators on OnlyFans are international and lots are active throughout the day!”

Mistress Sandy added: “If you like watching porn when you’re being intimate with your partner, this will provide you with an endless variety of videos.

“Plus, by searching for performers using OnlyAccounts, you can quickly find live creators who tick all of your fantasy boxes.”



Bondage fan who was suspended as Royal College of Nursing chairman over claims he was ‘openly hostile’ towards women says scrapping of conference is not to do with him

  • The Royal College of Nursing scrapped three-day annual conference in Liverpool
  • Decision followed what it described as ‘serious allegations of sexual harassment’
  • Suspended chairman and bondage expert David Dawes denies it is linked to him 
  • Nurses took to Twitter to express shock asking the union to explain more clearly 

Source: Dailymail.co.uk.

UK – The bondage expert suspended as chairman of the Royal College of Nursing over claims he was ‘openly hostile’ towards women today insisted the cancellation of its annual congress is nothing to do with him.

David Dawes, 53, who is openly polyamorous, has been under investigation for almost two months but insists he is innocent of any wrongdoing and will be cleared in the next week.

He has been accused of being ‘openly hostile’ towards women, allegedly being dismissive of staff concerns about discrimination and faced complaints about ‘sexual references on his own social media account’, according to The Times.

Mr Dawes, a rope bondage expert who has led workshops on techniques who became one of the youngest chief executives in the NHS‘ history at the age of just 31, today denied the decision of the RCN to cancel its annual meeting of members in Liverpool following ‘serious allegations of sexual harassment’ is not related to him.

He said: ‘I haven’t been notified that they are about me. If there are genuine allegations against individuals, I would imagine that those individuals would have been notified.’ 

His words came after the unprecedented move where his union announced it was moving its annual conference online, after taking ‘independent legal advice’.

The RCN, which represents some 465,000 health workers, said that ‘as a matter of urgency’ it was ‘undertaking a full review of all safeguarding policies and procedures as part of our cultural change’.

The RCN Congress was due to be held in Liverpool across three days from September 18.

It did not provide details of the allegations, but said it took a ‘zero tolerance approach’ at all times.

Carol Popplestone, chair of the RCN Council, said: ‘We have acted fast and took a unanimous decision that protects all attendees.

‘We know that many members planning to attend were looking forward to seeing each other in person for the first time in two years.

‘But this decision was made with members’ safety at the top of our minds. That is what we are here to safeguard at all costs.

‘I am absolutely determined that Congress will still be its usual fascinating mix of debates, events and speeches.

‘Getting together virtually won’t stand in the way of that.’ 

Miss Popplestone took over the RCN’s governing body last month after complaints were made against her predecessor David Dawes.

Mr Dawes had also been RCN council member for the North West region but was suspended from both roles pending an investigation.

Days earlier his suspension was announced, the Nursing Times reported that several ‘concerns and complaints’ had been received by the college about Mr Dawes’ conduct following a live question and answer session with members.

Sources said Mr Dawes was alleged to have made ‘derogatory and inflammatory remarks’ in relation to colleagues.

Mr Dawes said last month that he ‘fully intended’ to clear his name.

The RCN said it was taking the complaint ‘extremely seriously’ but it is unclear whether the two investigations are linked.

The decision to cancel the conference received a mixed reaction amongst members, with some praising the union’s decision to prioritise their safety. But others accused the RCN over overreacting and suggested it should have banned any individuals who were the subject of allegations from the event, rather than cancelling it entirely.

One member told the Nursing Notes website: ‘Banning individual men who may pose a risk (to the membership) is one thing, cancelling an entire event based on the ‘alleged’ actions of one, maybe two people, is totally absurd and utterly unacceptable.

‘Many have made plans to attend Congress on their own time and expense.’

The decision is likely to detract from the key issue facing the union – nurses’ pay. It has been lobbying for a 12.5 per cent pay rise.

Last night, nurses expressed their disbelief on Twitter. Learning disability nurse Catriona McIntosh wrote: ‘Are RCN Council announcing they believe the risk of sexual assault at Congress outweighs the effective running of our union? Would that not be a criminal matter for the police, not Council? Why are you not concentrating on the pay campaign?’

Another, Paul K Watson, wrote: ‘This isn’t a Council matter it sits with the police… My confidence in this organisation has gone.’ But others backed the decision.

The last time the RCN held its annual meeting in person was in May 2019, also in Liverpool.

It was held online last year due to the pandemic. Normally around 3,000 people attend but the union was expecting smaller numbers, in the hundreds, due to the hybrid nature of the event as planned.

Mistress Marley: ‘I’m a Financial Dominatrix—Men Pay For My Home, Bills and Vacations’

Worldwide BDSM News From The Media Posted on Mon, September 13, 2021 03:17:48

Source: Newsweek.com.

USA – I’m originally from a small town in North Carolina and I have a very close knit family who very much encouraged me to express myself. My first love was fashion and I first moved to New York in 2017 for a graduate school course in fashion marketing. Afterwards, I had jobs in fashion retail and temporary marketing roles, but nothing permanent.

One day, I was on Craigslist and I saw a listing for a hostess at a swingers club. I applied, went in and got the job. I had a background in sex work as I had done some stripping in North Carolina while I was in college but that club opened my eyes to the sex industry in general. For the most part, the clientele were 50 and above and the whole club was white. Coming in as a younger Black woman and seeing older white people having sex was a little strange at the beginning. But I’m very open-minded.

At the time, there was a dominatrix who worked at the coat check in the club. She was the first dominatrix I had met in person, and she was amazing. She told me so much about her work.

Eventually I came to a point where although I was working that side job, I lost my retail role and I was having to call my parents each week to pay for groceries. Even trying to pay rent was almost impossible. But I’m a determined person and I refused to move back to North Carolina; I’d told my parents I was going to make it.

See video and larger photo’s on: Newsweek.com.

I went online and typed in: “How to make money online as a woman, being sexy.” I knew about webcam sex work, but then I saw the term “financial domination.” I researched and saw that financial domination—or findom as it’s known—is a psychological kink where submissive men give their money to dominant women, but get nothing in return. They are basically paying women to exist.

I had the same initial reaction that everyone has now when I tell them what I do: I thought it couldn’t be real.

But I went onto Twitter, typed in “#findom” and saw so many financial dominatrixes. One thing that stood out to me was that I didn’t really see that many Black women in the space. At first, that discouraged me a little, but I’m also someone who doesn’t believe in being held back by anything, so I made my own Twitter page.

When I started, I would occasionally reach out to other dommes asking for advice and offering to tip them for their time. Most of the time, other white dommes would either block me or be super rude. No-one really talks about the trauma that Black women often have to go through to even get into these spaces.

Still, within my first week I made $50 from an anonymous sub—I still don’t know who it was. In findom, we don’t ask, we demand. We say: “Hey. I just went out and spent $50 on dinner. Reimburse me.” That’s what I did. I posted my receipt on Twitter and said that someone needed to reimburse me. And I received $50.

The money started increasing, from $50 to $100 to $200. Sometimes these submissive men send you something called a tribute; it’s a tip or token of appreciation. They’re saying they love your page or they’re grateful for you. I’ve gotten so far in my career that the standard now is that you have to send a tribute to even have a conversation with me. Tributes can range from $5 to $500.

I also do wallet draining sessions, which is when you’re on a video call or talking on the phone and you’re draining a sub’s digital wallet as you’re talking to them. It could be a 30 minute session where they start by sending $10 and then two minutes later they send $20, and so on. You’re literally draining their wallet.

In the Spring of 2018, I had my first in-person “cash meet.” That’s where you meet with a sub in a public place. For safety reasons, I always select somewhere public. I go up to the sub and humiliate them by saying something like, “loser, give me your money.” They give you the money, you might slap them if that has been agreed, and then you walk away.

It’s humiliation. The men get sexual satisfaction from the loss of control. They know they’re giving their money to someone they’re not going to meet and who doesn’t truly care about them. Something about that makes them sexually aroused.

But this all happens between two consenting adults and usually, a responsible domme will make sure that they are checking in with their subs to ensure they can still afford it. You’re never forcing anyone to send you money. At the end of the day, the subs have to log into whatever app they are using and send you the money themselves.

In the past four years, I’ve made more than $100,000 from dominatrix work, and had everything from people putting me onto their life insurance policies, to people paying my rent. I just moved into a fabulous new three-bedroom apartment in New York City and I don’t have to pay a dime for it. People pay for my furniture and my bills and I can go to any of my subs and say that I’m going out for drinks with my girls, tell them to send me money, and they send it. The most expensive single item a sub has paid for was when I went to Tulum for my 27th birthday. The vacation cost more than $5,000 and a sub sent me all the money for it. The money I make separately is barely spent, it’s in savings and I’ve paid off loans. I’m just spending money from subs.

I went from someone who had to text their parents every week for help to buy groceries, to now buying so much for my parents. It’s truly changed my life.

Besides being a financial dominatrix I am also a professional dominatrix. I do impact play and foot worship and I go to dungeons in New York City. In findom I have 10 regular subs who send me money every morning, or we are on a weekly schedule and in my pro domination work, I have five dedicated subs, or slaves, who I work with.

The demographic for my subs is 99 percent white men. I have had Black subs, but for the most part they are into things like foot worship. BDSM is not something that is widely accepted in the Black community. I can do an event now and have a sub on a leash and a Black person will look at me, as if to say, “wow.” I love having white subs. To me, they are paying me reparations. And, a lot of white subs love to serve only Black dommes. They get a thrill from it.

But I’m also trying to do away with the idea of Black women being seen as a fetish. There are subs who will contact me specifically saying why they want a Black woman. I had one sub say that they knew Black women are mean and rude so they wanted me to be their domme. I had to block him. But I am very privileged to have never been in a position where a sub has made me uncomfortable.

In November 2019, I took sub on a leash to my college homecoming at North Carolina Central University, a historically Black university. To me it was the imagery: I was a Black woman walking an old white man on a leash in a Black school. That in itself was powerful. But I treated it as a professional session with a sub, he paid me for my services and I checked in on him throughout to make sure he wasn’t in pain. It’s not like I disregarded him because I was in a public space.

People were definitely shocked. A video of that moment went viral, although I didn’t realize it was being filmed. Overnight I went from 1,000 followers on Twitter to around 13,000. My DMs were flooded with Black women asking me to teach them. I knew I had to teach so I created my Sexcademy in early 2020, and now I also earn money from teaching domination.

Because I felt like I didn’t have a safe space as a Black dominatrix, I created the Black Domme Sorority. I didn’t want other Black women to experience what I had been through. We now have 90 members across the U.S. and internationally, and are hoping to bring in 60 new members this fall. It’s the most cherished space I have ever created in my life. Along with two other members, I’m also planning to open a dungeon in New York.

The best lesson I have learned is to be able to separate work from my personal life. I’m not Mistress Marley 24/7. There are times when I have “vanilla” weeks where I want to go to museums, parks and or go shopping.

I’m also dating someone now who knows all about my work and is very supportive. In my personal relationships, I’m actually submissive. I definitely go for alpha males, but I don’t expect them to be dominating and tell me what to do. It’s still all about me, but I’m definitely attracted to confident, secure alpha men.

I always want to be part of the dominatrix community; I’ll always have a place here. I want to be taking money from men and whooping a** until I’m 100 years old.

Mistress Marley is a financial dominatrix and professional dominatrix based in New York. You can find out more about her at thechocolatedomme.com or follow her on Instagram @__mistressmarley. Mistress Marley’s identity has been protected in this piece due to safety concerns.



Victoria man acquitted in bondage trial

Worldwide BDSM News From The Media Posted on Mon, September 13, 2021 03:02:12

Source: Timescolonist.com.

USA – A Victoria man has been found not guilty of sexual assault, unlawful confinement and threatening to harm a young woman he met online in November 2018.

Consent was the main issue at Nicholas Johnston’s week-long trial in B.C. Supreme Court. On Thursday, Justice Brian ­MacKenzie was unable to decide whether the young woman consented to be bound with zip ties and blindfolded during sex with Johnston on the night of Dec. 2, 2018.

Faced with two dramatically different versions of what happened, MacKenzie said he was unable to reconcile conflicting evidence on the salient points.

“I find the evidence of Mr. Johnston, in combination with the evidence of [the young woman], does leave me with a reasonable doubt as to whether she consented to the mask or her wrists being bound during sexual activity, or if she did consent, whether that consent was obtained by force, or threats, or fear of force from Mr. Johnston,” said MacKenzie.

The woman, whose identity is protected by a court order, testified that she endured a planned, savage, prolonged confinement and sexual assault that left her fearing for her life.

Johnston denied the allegations, saying the woman consented to the sexual activity, including the zip ties and the sleeping mask.

He testified that he told the woman on the drive to his home that he had a fantasy about wanting to bind and blindfold her. He asked her if she had ever used restraints before and he testified that she said she had used soft handcuffs.

The woman testified that Johnston didn’t suggest to her that he wanted to get involved in bondage sex. She testified that he brought zip ties and a mask into the bedroom and “he was suddenly straddling her, putting a pink sleeping mask on her and putting his hand over her nose and throat and trying to suffocate her.”

She testified that he forcibly took her arm and tried to put a zip tie on her wrist but she struggled to prevent him from doing that.

“I think he said something like ‘The harder I make it, the harder it will be,’” she testified.

The woman did not agree to have her wrists bound but “I couldn’t get away from him,” so she relented, keeping her wrists far apart so the zip tie wouldn’t be too tight, she testified.

Johnston’s version was dramatically different, MacKenzie noted.

He testified that he came into the bedroom and asked the woman to move her hands behind her back so he could put a tie on her wrists. The young woman asked if she could take the tie off and he said she could if she wanted to.

Johnson testified that he asked her if he could put the mask over her eyes and she agreed. He testified that he said: “If you’re uncomfortable, tell me to stop.”

The young woman testified that Johnston took her upstairs, where under her blindfold, she could see a white sheet and tarp on the ground. She freaked out, pulled her wrists out of the zip ties then took the mask off and saw a camera on a tripod.

She threw his laptop downstairs. Then he became angry and punched her in the stomach.

“I think I asked: ‘Are you going to kill me?’ ” she testified. But he did not respond.

The young woman testified that she realized if she wanted to survive she needed to be calm so she apologized to Johnston for acting crazy. She went downstairs and had sex with him while fearing for her safety.

Johnston testified she wasn’t bound or blindfolded when he took her upstairs. He agreed he was angry when she threw his laptop downstairs, but denied punching her in the stomach.

They went downstairs and he apologized for yelling at her. He testified that they went to the bedroom because the woman wanted to have sex.

During cross-examination, Johnston acknowledged he prepared for his fantasy by buying black cable ties, a sleeping mask and duct tape to bind the woman’s wrists if she agreed. He set up a camera and tripod in the loft to take photos of the woman in bondage or the two of them having sex.

Johnston also acknowledged he had a dental dam and a speculum in his home to use in sexual activity with willing partners, but testified he did not plan to use either device with the young woman.

MacKenzie found Johnston to be consistent and not shaken in his evidence. “Mr. Johnston was forthright about the use of medical and dental devices if he had a willing partner to participate in sexual activity with these items. His acknowledgment of this unique sexual proclivity was straightforward and honest, even though it portrayed him as a deviant in certain sexual practices,” said the judge.

MacKenzie also found the young woman to be a relatively forthright and credible witness.

The Secret to Playing With Hot Wax During Sex

Worldwide BDSM News From The Media Posted on Mon, September 13, 2021 02:44:30

Heat things up in the bedroom with these tips.

Source: Menshealth.com.

WORLD – For anyone looking to heat up their sex life, wax play is here for you. And no, we don’t mean waxing hair off your body. , it’s a form of temperature play or sensation play originating from the BDSM community, according to sexologist Shamyra Howard, LCSW, a member of the Men’s Health Advisory Board. Temperature play could mean melting ice cubes on your body, freezing sex toys, and of course, dripping wax.

It’s a common misconception you need to be a professional or part of the BDSM community to try wax play, Howard says. Newsflash: you don’t! In fact, you can perform wax play with yourself or with a partner, all in the comfort of your own home. And it doesn’t require many materials to get started.

But before you start dripping wax all over yourself, know the techniques and the tools you need to play safely. Go in with a plan in place so you don’t get burned…if you know what we mean.

Get your wax ready.

Don’t just pick up any scented candle you have lying around. That nice-smelling one you got as a gift years ago? It’s not what you want dripping all over your skin. Those candles burn at high heat and could cause burns. Howard says you need specific candles for wax play, which burn at a lower heat and are made for close contact with your body.

If you’re just starting out, Howard says body massage candles are great for beginners. You light the candle, wait for 15-30 minutes, blow it out, let it cool, and then you’re good to start dripping.

If you want to level up to a hotter temperature, go for a soy-based candle. Paraffin candles also provide an extra sting. “Those are hotter than massage candles, so you want to be careful with them,” Howard says.

And if you’re looking for an alternative to massage candles, Howard says there are other wax items to burn, some of which you may already have in your home. Crayons and birthday candles are good to use, since they have low-burning temperatures.

Test out the temperature.

Before you start dripping wax all over yourself or a partner, you need to make sure it’s the right temperature. Light the wick, then let the wax drip onto your forearm from six inches above. (If you’re trying it on a partner, the same idea applies.)

“Allow yourself to feel what that sensation feels like; if it’s not comfortable, keep raising your arm [holding the candle] up higher until it feels comfortable for you,” Howard says. The greater the distance between the candle and your body, the less of an intense sensation; the wax won’t be as hot by the time it reaches your skin. The less distance, the more intense the sensation.

Avoid dripping the wax on sensitive areas.

As you explore the sensation of the wax, keep it away from your face, hair and genitals. It’s difficult to get wax out of hair (or hairy regions of the body), and it can burn sensitive areas. Legs and arms are easy to reach places where you can apply wax on yourself or a partner. Places like the stomach and thighs can be more sensitive, so proceed with caution.

Always, always communicate.

An important note: if you’re performing wax play with a partner, or anything involving sex, you have to communicate. A simple system Howard suggests is traffic lights. Saying “green” means go ahead, “yellow” means pause and check in, and “red” means stop immediately. Don’t assume your partner is okay, even if you’ve done wax play before. “Always have a safe word system when engaging in wax play,” Howard says.

Here are a few ideas on how to use the wax during sex.

Once your wax is hot and melty and the temperature feels good, it’s time for the main event! There are tons of ways to use wax during sex, including:

  • Using a massage candle to give your partner an erotic massage. (Start by rubbing their back; then, if they’re into it, you can work your way down below the waist.)
  • Dripping it on different erogenous zones (as long as they’re no the sensitive or hairy spots we mentioned earlier).
  • Using the wax to make shapes or patterns on the body.
  • Dripping the wax on yourself during masturbation to mix up your usual routine.
  • Incorporating it into your blindfold or bondage play. While one partner is blindfolded or restrained (or both!), the other can drip hot wax onto their skin.
  • Using it as a form of BDSM punishment.

Wind down with aftercare.

And remember, we’re dealing with hot wax here, people. Make sure you have a towel and a cup of water on-hand to clean off the wax. Then, whether it’s yourself or your partner, relax post-wax session with a cup of tea, cuddling, or another calming action. (If you didn’t already swap massages with the hot wax, now could be a good time, Howard says.)

As a final word of wax play advice, Howard says not to let what you see online determine what you do in the bedroom, since it may be unsafe or entirely fictional—like people placing wax candles in or around their genitals.

“Social media and the internet gives us ideas and we run with it,” Howard says. “But please, don’t do that!”
