Reverence of The Marks & Symbols of Ownership

-
I spoke of Faith. Now…I’ll kneel to Reverence. Our first date. I stood calmly in His bedroom. Still. Waiting. A lioness’ instinctive understanding short-circuited my usual primal sexual aggression. I knew this man before I knew Him. Though desire and need raged through my veins, my lioness lowered her head in acquiescence to a Power she had known before time began and been searching for this entire lifetime. I waited. Utterly defenseless. To see how He would move. To see what He would want of me. To see which direction He would Lead us. He shifted behind me in the dim light. His first touch. A bold unmistakable Claim. With a deliberate slowness that seemed to last eternity, His fingers dug into my biceps as His teeth sank into my tender flesh where neck meets shoulder. My body gave into His strength. My mind let go of logic. My heart and soul gratefully surrendered to His Demand. I will always feel the echoes of the Marks He gave me in that moment. That was only the beginning. With ...

I'm Not the Concierge to the Kinky Wonderland Entrance

-

I fucked up a few weeks ago.  Did something stupid.  REALLY STUPID.

At the enthusiastic prompting/encouragement of a half-outed kinkster, I fully outed myself to a friend of his (who he swore was kinky) and invited them to join me for a local class I was about to attend.

Commence the fucking TRAINWRECK.

In under 120 seconds...
  • She revealed missing KEY pieces to their previous interactions that caught me completely off guard.  No...owning my shit here...I felt like an absolute fool.
  • Yes, she had her own alternative lifestyle interest (poly) and seemed openmind to hearing about my own BDSM interests.  She was decently knowledgeable on basic terminology and agreed to join us, but she acted WAY cooler than she was.
  • He got weird and started a bit of a shock-and-awe act as I answered her questions, which amplified my feeling used and more a fool.
  • I without really thinking in this rushed conversation that was quickly picking up speed and tension outed Him another significant degree in my confusion of his shock-and-awe.
  • They communicated in their native tongue, and he pulled me away to decline on both their behalfs further amplifying my feeling like both an outsider and a fool.
I walked away sick to my stomach, embarrassed, humiliated, and without any kind of support or consideration, while his friend, was catered to.

Let me be clear.  ALL of us contributed to that mess.  Him and I more than her.  However, the only person I can effect moving forward is me.
  • I let myself be swayed.  My initial/gut reaction to his first four suggestions was no.  I should NOT have caved. 
  • I didn't factor in other people's motivations, which left me open to misunderstandings and unknown potentials.  It may shock some who know me, but I need to ask "Why?" more often. 
  • I didn't factor in my own vulnerabilities in that situation and didn't have time to prep myself for rejection both hers and his.  Hers I could have dealt with.  His - someone I knew and trusted - left me breathless, off-balance, and in the end...angry.
  • Most of all...I fucking know better, but the bubble of kink I've been involved in cushioned my memory of vanilla reality.
Over the course of my nine years in the lifestyle, I've intentionally and unintentionally led several people to the rabbit hole of kink.  Even though ALL were on SOME level kinky as hell, not ONCE has the introduction been fun for me.  In fact, dealing with other people's—

Wait...let me clarify a key point here... NONE of those who found the rabbit hole through me were strangers.  In fact, they were all very close to me.  Dealing with their judgement, their jokes, their avoidance and denial of their own shit was like a hundred sharp cuts poured over with salt water, and considering how close they were to me, the cuts were pretty damn deep.

This is why I am adamant that I won't date vanilla.  I don't have the time, energy, or patience for that ridiculous game of "Let me show you what I'm into."  No fucking thanks.  I have zero interest in being someone's concierge to The Kinky Wonderland entrance.

As is evident in this latest fiasco, casual acquaintance (hers) doesn't seem to fair that much better.  Oh...I have no doubt him and her have had delightful conversations about kink following my embarrassment and rejection.  That's how it always works.  The concierge who opens the door takes the brunt of the ugly disdain, while the one who swoops in behind reaps all the benefits.  ~eye roll~

Hence, I only deal with folks who have owned their shit and are already well into Wonderland.  I'm happy to help newbies who are moving in find their way to this or that, but I'll skip the tourists and door opening.  This last episode was a vicious reminder.  The pay and working conditions suck, but most of all the experience never serves me well.  In fact, all it ever does is cost me.

The 9 Service Languages | Intensive Session Wrap Up Thoughts

-
On Sunday, I wrapped up my first small group FULL INTENSIVE workshop that spanned 6+ hours over the course of 2 days. Anyone who has sat through my Intro class knows, The 9 Service Languages is a fucking BIG IDEA! When I first launched my class, I naively believed it could be tackled in a typical 90-minute or 2-hour session. I quickly learned that was impossible and that few platforms (cons, orgs, mtgs) had the ability to hold space for me and attendees to get DEEP in the weeds of WIITWD as it relates to Service. I am PROFOUNDLY HONORED that @S-O-C—the Service Oriented Conference—reached out to me earlier this year to be a part of their inaugural Intensive Program. They were the perfect partner with the perfect target audience for an Intensive of The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Relationships/Dynamics. The session allowed me to work with a small group as we got our hands dirty, dissecting where, when, how, and why we do Service and considered ways to adjust, tweak, evol...

My FUCK Covid! Post

-
FUCK, Covid!  I've been a socially defiant bitch more often than not.  When the world starts going one way, something in my mind always tells me to jump off that bus. Yeah...this fucking sucks.  Everywhere for everyone it sucks.  COVID (either it or the fear/threat of it) is everywhere.  But for fuck sake...does it HAVE to insinuate itself FULLY into Fet?!? If Facebook has turned into a political, socially dividing, fact-checking, misleading propaganda machine, then FetLife has turned into a giant mother fucking emotional therapy support center of tears and sniffles and traumatized blank stares. Look...I get it!  This shit is HARD...physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  I've been sheltering-in-place for 67 days in a NYC apartment with no private backyard, no balcony, no front stoop.  I need and want an escape...but since the hot, fun, and sexy has all but evaporated from my favorite kink site, Fet's only escape option is a lis...
