Cool reminder that there are different kinds of capital-S Sadists and capital-M Masochists.  S&M is not the same thing as D/S.  Same with B (bondage) and D (discipline.)  While most people in kink get this, I’m mentioning it because a lot of outsiders, wannabes, and legitimate newcomers aren’t sure.

BDSM being more of an alphabet than a single kink, there are more ways to interpret a barbed-wire chocker than there are individual letters in BDSM.

A hard-core sadist is going to look at this and say “ooh, pretty!”  A masochist is likely to say “want one too!”  A Dom or Sub might say “wow, what did they do to earn that?”  A rope top might be thinking “sloppy alignment, the marks are going to be uneven.”  A rope bottom might be thinking “eww, I’d be cut to ribbons before they could chock me out with that thing.”

Oh yeah, and a Daddy might be saying “now where in the great blue blazes did you find that, thumbtack?  Get that off immediately before you put somebody’s eye out!!!”  ????

Soooo much fun pretending you have no idea how…

Soooo much fun pretending you have no idea how your own toys work, isn’t it, tidybow?

When people ask me why I like D/Lg…

For allllll that talk about chains and ropes and floggers and whips, of plugs and and clamps, of stretched assholes and throat fucking, of faces and asses covred in piss and spit and come, of harsh and humiliating words…

Well?  Well sometimes that’s nothing compared to impossibly soft but endless teasing strokes with the tip of a sable brush, of a warm hand on your belly, of sweet, sympathetic words whispering “good girl, hold still – you’re sooo close aren’t you?  Just a little bit longer, just a little bit more, and then it’ll feel sooooooo good when Daddy finally lets come, won’t it?  But not just yet, ok?  Not… quite!”

What do you think, fuzzybear?  Do you think you could hold still while Daddy painted you a masterpiece?

An older, experienced Daddy may attempt to distract a restless Little by using her pacifier to playfully boop her in unexpected places before popping it into his own mouth…

And older, experienced gentleman knows to spend time working the leather of a newly-made collar so that it will be soft and pliant and fit very nicely around your pretty neck…

Strappy heels: subtle bondage and less subtle discipline…

I… wouldn’t make you do this, would I?  At least I don’t think I would. It would be so humiliating for… the author! ????

“Much as we wish our [Littles] could stay filled with wonder forever, eventually they grow out of believing in elves or Santa. This newfound maturity doesn’t need to mean the end of holiday magic, though. There are plenty of ways to keep older [Littles] filled with holiday spirit—and this new stage might bring even more joy to your celebrations!” – from the internet, lightly edited
