What is Real?
Every day without fail, a quick scroll through any lifestyle site or social media platform reveals a plethora of statements declaring the absolute truth about BDSM. Posts proclaiming, “A REAL Dominant is…” or “A REAL submissive will…” seem to pop up like daisies in springtime. These declarations can often feel like a challenge, as though there exists a panel of self-appointed experts armed with floggers and clipboards, ready to revoke your kink card if you do not conform to their criteria. The pressure to fit into a predefined mold can be overwhelming, creating an environment where exploration feels limited and the joy of kink is overshadowed by dogma.
What is particularly amusing about these proclamations is the way they can shift and morph depending on who is sharing their opinions. One day, you may find a post claiming that a “true” dominant must never show vulnerability. The next day, another voice asserts that the hallmark of a real dominant is their ability to connect emotionally with their submissive. These conflicting views leave many newcomers confused and frustrated, questioning whether they are doing it right. In the end, what is missing from these discussions is a fundamental understanding of consent, individual preferences, and personal journeys.
Horsing Around
Ponyplay and equine roleplay are unique and intricate aspects of the BDSM community. They allow participants to adopt the role of a horse, often with one partner as the trainer or handler. These activities combine elements of power exchange, animalistic instincts, and the aesthetics of equestrian culture. While often misunderstood, pony play can be deeply fulfilling for those who partake in it.
At the heart of pony play is the joy of transformation. Some participants enjoy the physical aspect, where they embody the movements and sounds of a horse. This can include wearing gear such as bridles, harnesses, and hoof-like shoes, or even pulling carts. For others, the appeal is psychological. The person taking the role of the pony may feel liberated by surrendering their human identity and embracing a new persona, one that is defined by simplicity and submission. This allows for a temporary release from the complexities of human interaction, as they immerse themselves in the role of a creature known for its strength and grace.
Actions Speak
In the space where trust is forged and built,
A dominant’s actions speak louder than words,
Intentions can flicker, but truth remains still.
If they ignore your “no,” heed their stance,
An apology is fleeting, just smoke in the air,
Believe in the actions, not a mere chance.

The Moment Life Pressed Play For Me, Again
Music has always provided me with a way out, a personal escape that allowed me to process the events of life. Whenever I needed to release emotions or simply disconnect from the world, I had a ritual: putting on headphones, darkening the room, and finding a gentle light that illuminated only the book in my hands. With this ambiance, music became the background to my temporary sanctuary. Over the years, one band in particular became a central part of that escape, the beloved Canadian rock band, The Tragically Hip. Yet, somewhere along the way, I stopped listening to them. For years, I could not explain why. Only recently did I come to understand it.

Speaking Up
In D/S dynamics, many submissives can feel timid or shy about expressing their wants and needs. This hesitation often leads to miscommunication, which can ultimately create frustration and dissatisfaction in the relationship. Remaining silent does not benefit anyone involved. Instead, it is essential to own your desires with confidence and clarity.
Your desires are not just valid; they are an integral part of the dynamic. Each person’s needs contribute to the relationship’s overall health and balance. When you express what you want, it opens the door to deeper connection and understanding. A vibrant dynamic thrives on open communication, and your voice is a vital component.
November on Naadowewi
The cold November wind brushes bones and skin,
rolling off Naadowewis with a chill sharp as glass,
pushing through fog with a restless, relentless force.
Ancient oaks, sentries, rooted deep through centuries,
shed their last copper and gold, their fragile grip released,
each leaf sent dancing in the wind’s careless hands.

Uniform fetishes in BDSM tap into a world of structured roles, power dynamics, and symbolism that many find thrilling. From police uniforms to military attire, uniforms evoke authority, discipline, and submission, making them an intriguing facet of BDSM play. This fascination with uniforms can be traced to the emotions and fantasies they trigger, as well as the cultural associations they carry. Exploring why individuals find uniform fetishes appealing can unravel much about the nature of power exchange and the role of fantasy in BDSM relationships.
