Creating Realistic Submissive Goals Sets You Up for Success

Last year I wrote about the importance of revising your contracts at the start of the New Year so you can make sure that it reflects your current relationship parameters and hard/soft limits. I’m still a single submissive, and (for the time being) I’m enjoying this journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. One thing that single submissives must always remember is […]

By Luna Carruthers / 5 minutes of reading

Do you trust everything you read? You shouldn’t. I suggest you not listen to everything I have to say. Why? Some if it might not be right or true for you and if that’s the case then what you read isn’t for you. It could even be based on fiction instead of reality. I’ve recently

Getting Started with Flogging

By moonlight / 5 minutes of reading

We sat in a friend’s living room as they showed us their collection of floggers. Each one a little different from the last.

By pinksubgeek / 6 minutes of reading

Are you a strong and independent person who identifies with the “right side of the slash” (as in /submissive or /slave)?
