Burglar Fantasy

A classic never gets old. It is always fun and exciting. It happens with movies, with books, and with bondage scenes. I’m young, barely 25. And I don’t care to admit that my favorite bondage game is the burglar fantasy. Yes, I know that, probably, my mother played that same bedroom game with my father.…

A Bored Wife

“Things happen when they are meant to happen, and if they’re not meant to happen, then they don’t happen.” That’s what my old man used to say. And I think it’s true. So, in a way, what happened between Molly and me is not my fault. On the other hand, however, I feel bad because…

Consent Is Mandatory

You can be vanilla, or you can be kinky; that depends on you. However, you should try never to be a jerk. And in the world of kink, this means that you should never, and I mean never, skip consent. Consent is mandatory. Every good BDSM practitioner knows that. And there’s no excuse that justifies…

Sedated

You probably saw the viral clip about the woman who thought she had a BBC on her mouth while she was under the effect of some anesthetics. This kind of substance works as a depressant for the nervous system. In other words, they lower our levels of inhibition and repression. And that’s exactly what happened…

Broken-Hearted

They say the only time you get to really know people is when you’re in trouble. And I think it’s true, at least for me. I always thought of July as the greatest woman I’d ever met, until she left me broken-hearted in the middle of an emergency. I met July after my divorce. Up…

Didn’t Include Ropes

My best experience with ropes… didn’t include ropes. I know it sounds like it doesn’t make sense. But let me tell you the story, and you will understand why I say it that way. Sam and I have been friends for ages! And that’s amazing, considering how different our personalities are. You see, he’s all…
