Guest Writers - Non Fiction


Art by Thomas

 

I included these articles here because they are well written and present unusual ideas. I believe that writers need to support each other and not play silly competitive games. I didn't choose articles based on trying to educate the reader. I chose them because they are darned good reading. 

 

 New! Miss Simone

 

I know a fellow dominant woman who is currently using her leather woman title to actively support the HIV clinical trial studies. Another friend uses her voice to petition all women to have mammograms... If this is not continuing the founding mother’s feminist principles, I do not know what is.
~ Miss Simone

Thoughts and Reflections on being a Dominant Woman

 

New! Virgo

Co-Founder of the Dominant submissive Society of Manitoba, Canada (DsSM) and Columnist

 

I do believe that underneath all of the actions there is a frame of mind that is common among people in the lifestyle. The common bond is that BDSM is an aesthetic experience to those individuals who are hardwired for, and predisposed towards, this lifestyle.

New! Screamer

Columnist & Author of Screaming Inside

Question: Can I still call myself a submissive if we only do D/s in the bedroom?
Answer: Sure. You can call yourself anything you like. But understand that your definition won’t match some other people’s definitions, and learn to live with it.

David Steinberg

Columnist & Author of Photo Sex

 

 

A little sexual sanity goes a long way these days toward keeping open the doors of hope for a positive sexual future. At least it does for me. That’s why I was so encouraged by the story of Jack McGeorge.

Dove

Columnist & Editor of BDSM Ezine

A "Master's Banquet" is a ritualized dinner, rich in submissive service and physical D/s symbolism. These dinners are what many would view as a "scene" but they are not play parties. No one is available for physical "use" it is formal Old Guard Domination and submission at its gratifying best.

Lady Beth

Columnist 

She is oblivious to those around her watching, for her there is only Mistress and her knife. It is as if you can see her essence begin to float about the reality of her body, you can sense her submissive spirit, you believe you could almost reach out and caress it as it hovers all around and yet somehow outside of her body.

Accepting your erotic submissive core has nothing to do with weakness and everything to do with strength.

Helen Vonmott

Columnist & Founder of Virago Wrestling 

 

At nights I would lie awake, fantasizing about being taken, ravished, consumed. I wanted a man to desire me so much that I could struggle against him, fight him with all my strength, and still not be able to push him away. I wanted a man who did not fear my strength, but reveled in it, matched it, and yes, call it sexist of me, surpassed it.

Justin Tanis

Author of Trans-Gendered: Theology, Ministry, and Communities of Faith 

Unlike most people, I'd gladly exchange any day the freedom to choose for myself for the freedom from having to make choices. This is a special kind of freedom known to slaves.

Personal Meets Political

 

Patrick Califia

Columnist & Author of many BDSM Books

I can't ignore the drawer full of discarded collars, dog tags, chains, and tit rings that I periodically mourn over, as if each one was a bead on a rosary of self-reproach. The skills that it takes to maintain a lifelong, committed, 24/7 S/M relationship have eluded me.

Screamer

Columnist & Author of Screaming Inside

I’m doing what my nature, my female spirit, tells me to do. I’m not acting as my mother, and my grandmother did, out of a sense of obligation, out of a sense of not having any other options, out of a sense of it being my only place in this world.

TopKnot

Columnist 

After a good long scene a Feline submissive would be more likely to say something like: "Thank you Master, that was so good!" while a Canine would be more likely to say: "Thank you Master, I hope you liked that!"

Columnist 

The longer, the better.  Once you’ve made your point, make it again and again, in case anyone missed it the first time around.  If you don’t have a point, ramble and call it “stream of consciousness.”
