Anyone here know anything about a (apparently) fetish publication called 'Ritual' - are they (for want of a better term) a legit operation? And does anyone know if they pay their contributors?

Recently i have been pondering and discussing the subject of endorphins and 'flying', stimulated in part by a post written by a subby sister of mine who was writing about sub drop but mentioned that in the beginning it was not unusual for her to fly but that as time passed it seemed to take more to go as deep as in the early days. The question in effect was do you have to keep going further and further, harder and longer to reach deep subspace.

Its now about 72 hours since i had my Prince Albert piercing and i have to say that its been considerably less trouble than i expected, in fact, its all gone relatively smoothly. If anything the experience has been relatively anticlimactic so far - and <smile> i recognise there is a double meaning to that statement, as i haven't climaxed since the PA was installed.

This is a follow-up to the original article about the Epilight permanent depilation technique...

London Fetish Fair is the longest running and most well established Fetish Fair in U.K. We are committed to providing a great fetish social and shopping event to people interested in the fetish scene on the first Sunday of each month. Now in it's 4th year!

Billed as an Absolution replacement and being within spitting distance of MK, the TNT event looked like a promising evening of entertainment so we loaded up the car and headed out.

As you may have noticed, things have changed slightly Firstly, I've finally finished phase 1 of writing the new code - so the site now looks slightly different (hopefully better?) and has some extra features that should make it easier to use (check out the 'previous 10 articles' link at the bottom of the front page for instance, and the new events and links pages that allow you to filter by category). More ease-of-use features will be added in the coming weeks, and also the site will be offering a lot more user configuration options, such as allowing logged in users to select how many articles they want on the front page and similar tweaks.

young guy new to scene. Can anyone give me any advice before I throw myself into this, how to meet like minded mates (not necessarily for sex, am into having fun first and last.) Feel a bit nervous (and exited) about it but don't know if I've got the guts to go it alone, so other people's experience of their first time out and about would do me a lot of good I reckon. Like the ideas of both sub and dom roles depending on my mood (a switch?), I'm safe secure and sane, but inexperienced. Seems like that's a bit of a bad word for some people, but am willing to learn and explore what I prefer and where my boundaries are. Cheers people.

We were considering going to the Rubber Ball weekend in London, but can't find a guest house/B&B/hotel to stay that is BDSM friendly...

The Bristol fetish Emporium (BFE) has a new venue and a new web page. The 1st event was a huge sucess but the venues owner has bowed to local pressure and decided NOT to hold any more events at his venue. There were NO complaints to elected officials, the Council or the Police and the event went well.
