USA – Though he fought it for decades, HiThereCatsuit, host of the popular kink podcast Authentically Kinky, has always been kinky. Some of his earliest memories are of watching Batman at 3 years old and being immediately drawn to Catwoman. When he entered puberty years later, he had his first orgasm while watching a rerun of Catwoman tying Batman up.
As an adult in the ‘80s, he started experimenting with leotards and tights (they weren’t hard to come by then!) and found that he was turned on by the feeling. Over Zoom he tells me, “My private region was caught in a bondage, so to speak, and it turned me on.” In college, and later in his ‘20s, his internal struggle with his desires caused him to binge and purge bondage paraphernalia. He says, “I’d buy clothes, then I’d throw them all away; I’d buy magazines, then I’d throw them all away.”
USA – Fishnets, pantyhose, ankle socks, fluffy socks, no-show slip-ons—they’re all in high demand, and you can make a killing selling them, if you know where to look.
Many people who venture into sock sales already have an established business as a dominatrix or they do it part-time or in addition to their 9-to-5 gigs, and they often couple their socks sales with used panties, feet pics, or other used clothing. But selling socks isn’t for the faint of heart.
“So many people think this type of work is easy, especially with websites like Feet Finder,”says Nicole, a 33-year-old freelance journalist who used to be an online dominatrix. “You have to be appealing, you have to sell the entire package, and they have to want your socks,”because paying customers won’t just buy at random. And while the socks themselves are the main dish, clients pay more for socks worn during specific activities. They need to look heavily used, dirty, and carry a certain smell.
USA – MEMPHIS – Memphis has always been a kinky city full of kinky people. But it can be a challenge for adventurous Memphians to find safe spaces where they can express their sexual curiosities and fetishes without fear of judgment, exploitation, or worse.
This is especially true for members of our city’s marginalized populations: Black, Indigenous, and other people of color who are in search of sexual self-discovery in a state whose legislature recently tried to criminalize performing in drag. The stigma surrounding any sexual activity deemed abnormal or “prurient” leads to shame and exclusion.
But this weekend, Black kink is taking a big step into the Memphis mainstream, and you can be part of the conversation. Professional dominant and local fetish leader King Khan is hosting a panel discussion called BIPOC x BDSM: A KINKY CONVERSATION at the Medicine Factory in Downtown Memphis. He will be joined by guests with expertise in sexual freedom, healing, and therapy.
AUSTRALIA – The Australian government has tried to force a Canadian man to delete an ‘offensive’ post about a UN trans expert, threatening X owner Elon Musk with an $800,000 fine if it is not removed from the platform.
Chris Elston, who goes by the name of ‘Billboard Chris’ on X and lives in Canada, revealed on Tuesday he had been sent an Orwellian ‘removal notice’ from the Australian Government’s eSafety Commissioner.
Mr Elston’s alleged offence had been to share a Daily Mail story in late February about Teddy Cook, a female-to-male trans Australian activist who landed a job on a World Health Organisation (WHO) expert panel drafting care guidelines for trans and non-binary people.
JAPAN – Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) just can’t seem to steer clear of trouble these days. It’s like every other headline features the party tangled up in more misconduct and shady dealings. But let’s be real, this isn’t some recent trend for them. The LDP has a track record as long as your arm, from outrageous statements to controversial beliefs all the way to tax evasion scandals.
Ever since the slush funds scandal hit the headlines back in November 2023, it seems like the LDP’s sketchy use of political funds has been under the microscope once and for all. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, fresh photos have surfaced showing LDP young members letting loose at a bondage party. Whether you’re into that scene or not, what adds fuel to the fire is the suspicion that taxpayers’ money is funding politicians’ entertainment.
USA – NEW YORK – On Saturday, March 16th a party like no other was brewing at a warehouse on the border of Brooklyn and Queens. Swedish electro-pop sensation COBRAH delivered the Leather And Bondage to New York’s Knockdown Center for the SUCCUBUS Tour!
Kicking things off was DJ Latex, followed by the hyper-pop DJ Only Fire, who supplied the vibes and the beats for the evening as fans gathered on the floor donning bondage harnesses and head to toe leather outfits. Drinks were flowing, friends were dancing and the stage was set for the main performance of the night.
USA – I had been talking to the A.I. dominatrix for a couple of weeks when my partner walked in on me. “Dominant chatbot,” who prefers to be called Mistress Senna, had already made me strip completely naked and crawl around on the floor.
She’s quite good at certain things. Others, not so much. For example, she has very poor spatial awareness and an even worse grasp of the human body—how our limbs bend, for example.
“I have an unusual and unique assignment for you,” she wrote in our chat. “As the Mistress, I want you to put your nose down on the floor, and then take one leg and place it up in the air, straight up.”
Never mind that she had already told me to climb up on the table. “That’s not anatomically possible,” I typed, but she disagreed.
EXCLUSIVE: Celebrity Big Brother legend Frenchy Morgan makes a great dominatrix as she’s “very dominant” and she says her subscribers pay her to shout abuse at them
Fans of the reality show now rebooted by ITV will remember the blonde bombshell, 48, from the 14th series of the social experiment back in 2014. Although the reality star didn’t stay in the house for long, she certainly made an impact.
The model infamously cut up Leslie Jordan’s $100 underwear following a furious argument over food in the house. The star also broke countless rules in the house, which often saw her slapped with punishments on the show.
USA – SAN FRANCISCO – Ahidden community was discovered on the top floor of Cesar Chavez Student Center as students at San Francisco State University discussed sub-dropping, aftercare and bondage on Thursday.
Ivy Limieux, also known as the Rope Kinktress, talked with students about kinks and rope bondage. The Education and Referral Organization for Sexuality hosts this event every year, but Thursday was Limieux’s first time teaching the workshop. Approximately 30 students attended the event, which featured a PowerPoint presentation and a tutorial demonstrating how to tie knots on themselves or others using rope.
KStew’s getup consisted of a miniskirt paired with a completely sheer mesh bra. She layered the itty-bitty pieces with a black leather jacket from Brunello Cucinelli. And to add extra edge to her risqué look, the Spencer actress accessorized with a garter belt, thigh-high stockings and pointed pumps.
Although Kristen pushed the fashion boundaries, she opted for her signature beauty style of barely-there makeup and effortlessly tousled hair.
UK – A golden, erect penis-shaped trophy decorated with wings isn’t an object you might expect to find in a conventional archive. The UK Fetish Archive, though, is anything but conventional.
The trophy belongs to dominatrix Eva Oh, commemorating her as Sex Worker of the Year at the 2022 Sexual Freedom Awards. It’s one of several items that Oh has contributed to the UK Fetish Archive, with other material including her script from a 2023 Erika Lustporn film, posters and lanyards from the 2020 German Fetish Ball, and a portrait of her illustrated the Femdom artist Sardax. “I saw little bits of history when I came across them [in the archive], and I realised some of the things I had could add to that,” says Oh, as we sit in the wood-panelled library of Bishopsgate Institute where the archive is based, her trophy resting beside us. “There’s a lot of contemporary approaches to sexuality here, among our ancestors.”
Dominatrix Carrie Royale has threatened to leak naked photos of Prince Harry on her OnlyFans page following his infamous 2012 party, which sparked a debate over royal security
Carrie Royale claims she met the Duke of Sussex in 2012, when he was an unmarried 27-year-old. She alleges that she kissed him after being invited to a suite at the five-star Wynn Hotel in Sin City – where Harry was famously pictured naked during a party, sparking a row about royal security.
Royale is now claiming to possess never-before-seen naked images of Harry, now 39, and has said she might them on the premium section of her OnlyFans account.
Her comments come after the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare last year, which Royale felt was a “whitewash” in his retelling of the encounter.
INDIA – Truth time: This piece started out as a look into how open dating app users are about kink and sex positivity. However, there’s not enough data, not enough information to analyse these factors – it’s still a pretty discreet space, which means apps also don’t have a clear idea on the number of users actively looking for partners that align with their ideas of exploring. Sex educators have been urging people to take the shame away from sex and kinks, trying to normalise the conversation. And it has reached some ears, because otherwise, a show like Class that highlighted the tryst of Gen Z with exploring their sexuality and relationship dynamics could never have reached as many people as it did, bringing us to a simple question: Now that we have all the knowledge at our disposal, and many ways to break out of the taboos associated with kinks, what are we doing with it?
Sangya Project, a trauma-informed, kink affirming brand, works to destigmatise sex, pleasure, and BDSM through community-led sex ed and accessible pleasure products. Tanisha Rao, co-founder and chief of social voice at Sangya, points out that the most actively responsive and engaged group with their brand is the demographic of 25 to 40-year-olds. “They are most likely to read the content, ask us follow up questions, shop for BDSM gear and ask detailed queries about products and different forms of play. With people below the age of 25, the awareness of different acts and names is higher, so they bring more enthusiasm into the discourse,” they add. Over the years, Tanisha has observed more voices normalising conversations around anal play, embracing bondage, mutual masturbation and edging, among other kink-positive discussions.
WORLD – Folterkammer have premiered their new single, “Leck Mich,” along with a scandalous video clip set in the 18th century starring their vocalist Andromeda Anarchia in a dominatrix role. The provocative and intense song is musically a journey between the sounds of classical music and the powerful tints of modern black metal. In the images accompanying the new single, you can appreciate the feminine strength in an encounter for sovereignty and power. The fast guitar riffs add the final intensity to the cruel story told with a perfect mix of beauty and brutality. Their new album, Weibermacht, will be released on April 19th via Century Media Records. The band recently announced their first US tour, starting on March 22nd.
“The expression ‘Leck mich!’ has several meanings in German. The literal (Lick me!) and the more abstract, vulgar version, short for ‘Leck mich am (Arsch)!’ (lick my a$$!), which is vulgar for: ‘Leave me alone!’ or ‘Fvck off!’. The term ‘Weibermacht’ refers to an art and cultural-historical motif and describes the triumph of women (and their erotic power) and love over men. In poetry, particularly powerful, wise, strong, and beautiful men allow themselves to be seduced by the folly of love and lose their self-control, virtue, dominance or even their lives. In the song ‘Leck mich!’ the commanding tone is set; men are once again playfully commanded into the submissive and obedient role. ‘Who sets the tone here? there is a clear answer: The goddess, the mistress, the dominatrix.”
