Just in case I convinced anyone to start this powerful habit, I thought I'd share a little more of the nuts and bolts of how we run our family meetings. First, a simplified version of our weekly agenda: For people less prone to using an agenda than me (possibly every one?), let me try to make an argument for it. The idea behind any list I make is to get the information out of my head and in to a safe and reliable place where I can access it later. An agenda ensures that every thing is addressed without needing to spend half of my mental energy trying to remember what comes next. But an agenda should b...

how to host a munch - original article published by Molly Lazarus

https://blog.kinkly.com/10-helpful-tips-for-hosting-a-bdsm-munch/ A BDSM "munch" is a non-sexual gathering of people in a BDSM community. BDSM munches can be great venues for meeting and getting to know other kinksters in your area. You can chat openly, get advice from experienced mentors, and meet potential play partners in a neutral public setting. However, unless your city has a bustling kink scene, you may find munches are hard to come by. This was the case when I first moved to Osaka in 2009. There were a handful of BDSM-themed bars, clubs, and events in the area, but these forums were fairly expensive to enter and intimidating for kinksters who were just getting their feet wet. I didn't want to spend tons of cash and time in smoky Japanese bars just to connect with "my people." My kink-interested friends didn't either. So, I started organizing the city's only munch about two years ago. Since then, I've met and chatted with countless kinksters a...

why D/s is the best foundation - original article published by Master Arcane

https://arcaneadvice.com/all-lessons-a-z/why-basic-d-s-is-the-best-foundation/ Today’s Lesson: Why straight-forward, down-to-earth D/s makes for the best foundation in all cases of the many D/s variants. We hear a lot about DD/lg, Pet Play, and Brat Play / Resistance Play relationships as some kind of Core Identity for that relationship, and yet these kinds of relationships near-constantly hit a wall. The idea of these specific Kinks, while obviously great fun for the participants, needs to be modified if the two people are seeking longevity together. As someone who counsels BDSM couples professionally I hear about a lot of failures in this regard. What my partner and I have found in all cases of the common reasons these types of D/s-Variant Relationships fail is because they treat the particular Kink – e.g. Pet Play, Brat Play, DD/lg, etc – as the Base Foundation upon which to build the relationship, instead of building their favorite Kink ON TOP OF a solid, well-established set of D/...
