2023-01-04 ~ Kinky Talks 40: Drop, drop, event-drop
After the new year’s parties, after the first reality checks of our own new year’s resolutions, and after last year’s pandemic, it seemed kinda logical to come up with this Kinky Talk’s theme: “Drop, drop, event-drop!” 😉 Almost every sub AND most Doms know that feeling of “drop” two, or three days after great events,…
2022-12-14 ~ Kinky Talks 39: Chemsex in the Scene
Chemsex is an easy subject to ignore… until you can’t ignore it anymore.

Monkeypox is a disease from a virus that is spread by rubbing skin to skin, or by puss or infected skin cells that still lay around somewhere after they were rubbed off the tiny scabs from former lesions. Not everybody has symptoms. So basically you’re not sure if you are infected. So if we meet…

2021-04-14 ~ Kinky Talks 18: Is more extreme more fun?
People do view us kinksters as being a bit extreme sometimes.

Or are only the people that…
2021-03-24 ~ Kinky Talks 17: What makes a good Dominant?

The relationship underneath the D/s.
