I've wanted to make a page dedicated to BDSM and kink for years, but my stupid internal shame has held me back. I've characterized the pull, the allure of this scene as something ugly and primal to myself before, unbefitting of someone who likes to write academic papers and coo at cute things.

Well, I'm trying to get over that now. I don't think shame to the degree I feel- namely the result of clinical hypersexuality- is all that good for you. And it's a hell of a lot more cathartic to flog someone or be flogged.

Friends have known I've been in and out of the bondage scene for some 6 years or so now. Second Life has played a huge part in this, in both exposing me to a lot of the tools and manners of play, as well as giving me an outlet to enact fantasies that certainly would require a lot of space, preparation, and healing time to pull off.

I'm going to make my disclaimer extremely clear here. DO NOT read my page here and interpret it as the end-all, be-all, of safe BDSM practice. That simply is not true, and you should never rely on one source, especially when there are endless guides and more experienced individuals who can give better advice. I'm not responsible for the stupid things you do if you don't prepare like a proper adult. TLDR; Don't take my word as gospel, and communicate with your play partner(s) for crying out loud!
