When it comes to gay marriage I usually keep my mouth shut. Trying to balance my Christian beliefs and not being a giant asshole can be challenging. It seems though Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, of Washington State has got that down. She recently announced her support for a bill that would legalize gay marriage in Washington state,…
I don’t wanna be where The wild things are
I’ve read a few things this week, that had me thinking about “the BDSM scene” and why I’m disinterested in it. Even though I feel as if my long term happiness is dependent on finding a woman whose desires mesh with mine, I don’t really want to join the community…
Anticipation
It’s going to hurt. I know this already, and it’s not a pain I’m looking forward to. I’m sure I’ll be sore afterwards, for days probably. People are going to be there, watching me. They’re going to know that I haven’t got a lot of experience with this sort of…
How? to be a sexy man.
I intended to write another “As close as it gets” post, my reoccurring feature on popular fiction with D/s themes, but I don’t feel like it. I’m still thinking about Lady D’s comment on my last post. “I think many men…aren’t used to being “desired”…I’ve also noticed that gay and…
Come on feel the noise
I’m not really a worrier, I know I’ve written about a lot of things that I “worry” about. What I really mean when I say that, is that I think about something, and then go “that’s probably not great.” (Such as Femdom in Fiction and the messages it sends.) I…
Lock the closet door
I mentioned here that I live with a couple of guys who while not bros entirely are capable of emitting frattyness at alarmingly high levels. Getting intelligent conversation out of them, can be a Sisyphean endeavor. Often, our “conversations” boil down to obnoxious games of would you rather. Being constantly…
Let’s Talk about Ex
Lady D has me featured over on her blog right now as the first entry in her series Demystifying the Virgin Unicorn. Over there, you can read me talking a bit about why I’m holding onto my V-card. I mentioned in that post the last (and only) major relationship I…
Un-dating
Sherlock, has been popping up on my radar lately for having hints of BDSM and F/m or some-such. Just watched the first episode. Quite good, Steven Moffat knows his business. I’ve been thinkingabout a scene where Watson and his new acquaintance/flatmate Sherlock Holmes get a table at a restaurant together…
When I say Submissive…
My personal favorite author and definite candidate for a later as close as it gets post Neal Stephenson included the following exchange in his genre-bending epic Cryptonomicon “I don’t like the word ‘addict’ because it has terrible connotations,” Root says one day, as they are sunning themselves on the afterdeck.…
