Another post in my series of Five. This time I would like to focus on toys which are hard to break and made of the wonderful material called steel. Not only is steel versatile and hard to break as a material, it is also very easy to clean and the naturally cool feeling of steel against bare skin can add an extra thrill to the experience.

This lovely trinket is called the Double Sided Pinwheel, our kinky friends over at JT have commissioned Scott Paul to design this little beauty. This is an enhanced version of the more traditional Wartenberg Pinwheel, which actually is a medical instrument.

Every good slave knows that to be obedient is the one thing that reflects best on her. Telling your slave to be quiet and her following your wishes is the ultimate goal for any training. There are various reasons why you might want to silence your slave using a gag. There is a plethora of gags out there and I have picked a certain type to show you today.

“…discriminated against because he is a pagan who practices a “BDSM lifestyle” and deserves protection under the human rights code, based on sexual orientation…”

Apparently an officer of the Vancouver Police had denied Mister Hayes a license necessary so that he could work as a chauffeur. After the police had gone to court over the matter trying to get the case dismissed the appeals court has finally decided that Mister Hayes may go ahead and plead his case, stating:

“On the facts alleged, it appears that it would be artificial and perhaps impossible to separate the religious and sexual orientation parts of Mr. Hayes’ complaint… - Lindsay Lyster”

Common Sense

There is never a need to try and express something again when someone has done it before you and succeeded in doing so. Risk is an integral part of our lives and I strongly believe that those of us who have chosen to live this alternative lifestyle are deliberately taking risks.

We take the risk of being outcasts, simply because the majority does not understand this lifestyle, we risk being misunderstood by our closest friends and even our families. We risk rejection and being outcasts simply because we like to do what others deem unacceptable, yet still we seem to relish it.

Risk is a remarkable trait of our societies and of human nature. I am currently(…)
