Interviews
- Sensuous
Sadie
I started doing
interviews with BDSM group leaders because they have such interesting
ideas about their own practice and our community. As a leader myself,
I wanted to share the particular challenges and joys of making a
BDSM group happen. As I moved out of leadership and focused on my
own writing, I discovered that I particularly enjoyed interviewing
authors because they have such a broad range of experience and ideas
to share. Of course I could write articles about these people, but
it's much more interesting to read about their experiences in their
own words rather than filtered through my own writing style. [Sensuous Sadie's Interview]

 The
Sadist With A Mean Streak
- John Gault
I’m sadistic, not very dominant but certainly
an ‘A’ type personality. My outlook is generally humorous
(I don’t take life seriously), safe play is an option not a
rule, sanity is an illusion, consent is always assumed even up to
the point where the other person is running out the door screaming.
I hold a graduate degree in math (statistics), a second in business,
a third in psychology, and a Ph.D. in philosophy. [John's Column]
 Trubled Times
...when you're having a "bitatruble"
- Celeste aka BitaTruble
I have always had an interest in BDSM, since I was
a very young child but didn't have my first r/t session until July
3, 1982. I knocked on the Dom's door at 4:50 and didn't go
home until after 1 AM in the morning. I think it's obvious
it made an impression on me. That first session hooked me r/t on
BDSM and I've been steeped in the leather vats ever since. [Celeste's Advice]
 Inside
a Rogue's Mind
- Rogue
I have been a masochist since birth, in my opinion.
I have very early memories of my inflicting pain on myself. I grew
up playing the Houdini in bondage games with my sister and have
had a love of bondage ever since. It took quite awhile for me to
come to grips with my sexuality though and I did not become officially
active in the scene until 1998. I have been around the scene, hanging
around with my sister who was a lifestyle mistress and dominatrix,
since 1989. [Rogue's Column]
 The
Pervertable Toybag
- Kyphi
The cost of scene-related paraphenalia is through the
roof. But does one really need all that fancy stuff to have a good
time? Whatever happened to using one's imagination, grabbing what's
handy and having a kick ass time for nothing? Well, weep no more
over your credit card, the handy dandy pervertable diva is here
to save the day!!! [Kyphi's Suggestions]

 Life
as I See It
- Randy Burns
I began writing
politics and anti-war articles for The Greenwich Village Gazette,
featured every week. I got fed up with politics and went to this
- the exploration of sexual lifestyles and fetishes. I enjoy this
and find it extremely rewarding. From Ashley Renee to Dominant Females,
TVs, TS, and any fetish at all. I will, and do, look into everything.
I now reside in Connecticut, I'm 54, and spend my time writing to
my hearts content. [Randy's Column]
