AI picture filters such as FaceApp were something I didn’t take much notice of until the other day when I saw the transformations of some people I sort of know. What was intriguing was that you could see the actual person in the different pictures, even with the gender filters. That gave me the […]

Dreams, eh ? They’re something I rarely remember. I’ll often have the vague memory that I must have dreamed before awakening yet almost never recall what it was. So it was a bit of a surprise the other week to have a dream I could vividly recall at the time and even now have […]

‘Eating you own liver’ – It’s an old phrase that I haven’t seen in use for some time. For me it sums up some of those feelings generated by social anxiety.

It’s really hard to consider that the activities you enjoy are edge play. You are comfortable embarking on them even though you know how difficult or stressful they can end up being. And yet, the eye of the beholder can be illuminating.

Prompts can sometimes pass by in a blur when you’re not ready to write. Sometimes you look at a prompt and think you have no connection to it. And that’s how it was for this prompt until I came upon this picture.

I’ve had a lot of confusion over the years about romance. Growing up, so much propaganda gets bombarded at us. Be good, be dutiful, follow the norms of your parents and grand-parents and you, too, will live the Stepford dream of romance and the perfect partner.
Reading Time: 5 minutes Pride usually gets me into trouble. Or perhaps it’s not actual pride, more an unguarded slide into smugness. The worst part of pride is mistaking it for approval from others. Well, let’s qualify that, it’s when they are approving of you in doing things that conform to their world view and not yours.

This wasn’t a prompt I thought I could write about, then I saw the posts that have already been linked and they set me thinking. One of the things to surprise me was the number of people who separated sex and intimacy. Some going so far as to actively consider them as separate activities […]

There’s no real message in this post, more a stream of consciousness. “Smile and the whole World smiles with you …”, thus sang Louis Armstrong and many others who covered the song. When you can’t, or don’t want to face the world, it’s not so easy to see who’s smiling. The Sunday before Christmas I […]

Is it a vice, an indulgence, or perhaps a fetish ? Certainly it started as a fetish, probably the very first real and acknowledged one. It gradually became a vice, then an indulgence and now it’s almost a necessity as something nice that makes me feel … well, feel. What am I talking about […]

As a sub the reset is a hard and salutary experience. I went through one such experience early in my D/s path, it was a very painful lesson.

I’ll let you into a secret. I have a work in my drafts folder that talks about some secrets. It’s been there many months and it’s a perfect piece for this prompt. But you’re not going to see it until I’m ready or it eventually passes its sell by date 😜

When it comes to BDSM I’m more inclined to the principles of RACK than SSC, though either is a vital concept in such relationships for them to be safe(r) and successful. However, although you may not come across these concepts until moving in BDSM circles they’re really just a restatement of something that should […]

My list of what is social media is defined by age. My first access to the Internet was in 1991. The company I’d just joined had installed a Cisco router with a 14,400 dial on demand modem. A small SCO Unix box was the means for providing everyone with an email account. I became […]

These posts evoke my memories of gritty experiences of the 1970’s and 1980’s. The genesis of this post was a lovely tale, Take […]

Content Notice Needle Play Pictures In the time I’ve been writing this blog and relating some D/s experiences with my domme, I’ve maintained a level of discretion as to who she is. It’s not that I’ve hidden things, the breadcrumbs have always been there and some curious readers have followed them and worked out who […]

Sat in my office that Tuesday afternoon I heard a bubble of noise to look at the news. Confused as it was, the scenes were horrifying. A plane had flown in to one of the towers of the WTC. Back then no one’s first conclusion was terrorism, we must be witnessing a terrible accident. […]
