USA -DALLAS – Kink takes all shapes and forms. Beginners may dabble in light bondage or a sensual choke now and then, while the more experienced folks bring extreme perspectives to a broader spectrum of penetration, restriction, pain, taboo, scenarios and butt stuff.
And then there is Captain Milbourn (they/them) who is what the internet calls a vampire dom. Yep, vampire.
“So, I play with the dynamic of pain, pleasure and a spectrum of sensations,” they said casually over a chai tea. “I’m a dom, and I work just with subs, but vampirism is a whole thing.”
USA – SEATTLE – BODY-POSITIVE bonanza ‘Fat Con’ returned for the second time last month, seeing hundreds of plus-size Americans come together to celebrate their bodies.
Travelling to Seattle to take part in the festivities, attendees joined what organisers called “the biggest fat convention on the West Coast,” the Daily Mail reports.
The super soirée had the aim of “improving the lives of fat humans through art, health, public policy and community outreach.”
Hundreds of guests turned up to get involved in a super-sized itinerary of exciting activities.
USA – Did you know that the third Friday of January is International Fetish Day? At this point, you’ve probably heard of kinks and fetishes. The words likely conjure images of BDSM gear, which is certainly a valid association. However, kinks and fetishes go much further than “just” BDSM – both historically and in terms of what they encompass.
According to Merriam-Webster, the term “kink” has been adopted into the sexual sphere. It was originally (and continues to be) used in context to identify that something was different or peculiar. However, it now also means “unconventional sexual taste or behavior” (Merriam-Webster, 2025). Similarly, the term “fetish” first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. At this time, the term referred to objects that were thought to have supernatural powers. By the end of the 1800s, the term had become more associated with objects that one found to be particularly sexually arousing. In essence, “kink” is the overarching concept of non-conventional sexual interests while “fetish” refers to the specific act or object one is interested in.
NORTH IRELAND – A family who booked a rental holiday home were left horrified after finding it full of sex toys, bondage gear, blood-stained furniture and open bottles of lubricant.
The £300-a-night house was booked on Vrbo by a husband and wife for a week away with their extended family and four young children in Northern Ireland.
However, when the family arrived at the five-bedroom pad, they were reportedly met with a master bedroom full of sex toys – which included penis enlargers, handcuffs and whips – and a blood-stained mattress.
Hubbard first came to public attention in May 2003, when WRTV reported that she was working as a professional dominatrix out of her Meridian-Kessler basement.
The Dungeon Arts Reformatory offered consensual role-playing activities for clients, who knew Hubbard as Miss Maitresse Ann.
UK – After graduating from Stanford in 2016 and publishing her first novel, Oola, in 2017, writer Brittany Newell was looking for a job that would provide a decent income, while still allowing her time to write. She waited tables and tended bar, but found both mentally and physically exhausting. Then she took a job as a professional dominatrix.
“A professional dominatrix is a person who is hired by submissives to enact a series of fetish or kink related fantasies,” Newell explains. “It’s different than being an escort. It’s much more about role play and the creation of these fantasy worlds and satisfying different fetishes. And of course, the defining quality would be the power dynamic.”

After a year of dating, my girlfriend just revealed that she has a massive pee kink. She loves being peed on, drinking pee, and even someone peeing inside her vagina. I’m feeling a couple of things. First, I’m surprised and shocked that I’m only now hearing about this, a year into dating. And it makes me question if she’s even enjoyed the vanilla sex we’ve been having. (I really thought she was, before this!) Second, I have literally no desire to do any piss play. The idea of it does not turn me on, and sure, I guess I’d rather pee on her than be peed on, but I’d prefer nothing involving pee. I’m feeling torn because it seems like she really wants this, and it’s important to her. I don’t know what to do.

The 47-year-old, from Hertfordshire, has spent three decades working in the sex industry, first as a stripper and now as a dominatrix – although she describes herself as a ”submissive” one.
In sexual terms, a dominatrix is a woman who has power or control over her partner (who she doesn’t have to be in a committed relationship with).
IRELAND – OK, so apparently our new intern Caleb is completely full of shit. We hired him because he said he could make an interview happen with legendary Celtic punkers Flogging Molly, but it quickly became obvious that he didn’t expect to have to fulfill this promise when we brought him on. Is this at least partially on us for having hired him on sight simply because we liked his Samhain shirt when we met him at Jersey Mike’s? Possibly, but he had to have foreseen this whole ordeal ending poorly when he used Craigslist personals to set up the interview.
So there we were, tablets in hand with questions at the ready, nervously awaiting Flogging Molly’s arrival. We’ve been fans since “Swagger,” so this was a really big opportunity for us. Suffice it to say we were taken aback when a red-haired woman dressed exclusively in black leather arrived at our offices in lieu of Dave King, and we immediately knew something had gone awry when we saw that she had brought with her ball gags, posture collars, whips, and something called a “fisting swing.”
USA – When it comes to confidence, who is better to learn from than someone who commands power for a living? Enter the world of dominatrixes, where female confidence isn’t just a trait—it’s a lifestyle.
Zikoko sat down with M.E., a lesbian dominatrix, to unpack how she embodies unshakable self-assurance inside and outside the dungeon. We also discussed how women can embrace their confidence both in and out of the bedroom.
How did you get into domination?
I didn’t enjoy being touched during sex, so I had to take charge to avoid physical contact. That naturally led me into domination.
I was curious about the BDSM community and wanted answers from real people, so I sought them out. Their insight helped me get a firm understanding of domination, both in person and online. I also like being soft and helping someone have an enjoyable time — it’s fun seeing their reactions.
SCOTLAND – COPS have been forced to pull a domestic violence warning advert after it emerged one of the men featured also stars in X-rated “abuse” videos.
The Police Scotland ad has been scrapped after it was revealed the force recruited a “kink content” creator, Ross Rankin, to front the ad.
The adult star, who describes himself on X (formerly Twitter) as “a little Scottish boy who can take a lot”, regularly posts hard-core pornographic videos to the platform.
USA – When Julia Fox moved from her native Italy to New York City as a child, she couldn’t possibly have known the impact she would eventually have on U.S. pop culture. Fox survived a wild and tragic childhood, and while most 18-year-olds were suffering from senioritis, Fox was working as a dominatrix, a job that gave her financial freedom, not to mention some improv chops. From there, her glow-up was nothing short of dazzling.

What you might not know about Julia Fox is that she’s not only a NYC socialite, but she’s also a designer, a multimedia artist, a muse, an actor, and an author. She’s done it all, with a mix of confidence and self-deprecation, humor and pathos, and of course, amazing style. Fox’s It Girl status was cemented during the summer of 2024 when she was name-dropped in Charlie XCX’s hit song “360,” the chorus of which goes, “I’m everywhere/I’m so Julia.” Fox dropped her own single, “Down the Drain,” around the same time, and the lyrics she wrote herself in mere minutes. What’s next for Fox is anyone’s guess, but how she got to where she is today is fascinating. Read on to learn more about the truly stunning transformation of Julia Fox
AUSTRALIA – Nicole Kidman’s erotic triumph, Babygirl, has launched a thousand conversations about kink. In particular, it’s tapped into our desire (or equally, for some, a lack thereof) to be dominant or dominated. However, as Nic shows us in the film, picking up a new role in the bedroom is not as easy as it sounds. Many of us could see something we want to try—with little idea of where to go from there.
When it comes to BDSM—that’s: Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sadism/Masochism—there’s usually an imbalance of power. And part of the role of a dominant is to understand and safeguard the rules of play. If you’re looking for beginner’s advice on trying out a dominant or submissive role, we’ve enlisted the guidance of sex and relationships therapist Georgia Grace to shed some light on the practices that make a good dom. But before we get into that, the basics…
