Marquis Maestro Interviewed

Rubber's Finest's internet television channel, RFTV, has released an interview with Peter W Czernich by Poupette (fetish model). The 40 minute programme, in German but overdubbed in English, shows the international fetish publisher discussing his fetishes, career and projects past and present from his first latex events back in 1989 to exciting new plans for the Marquis magazine brand; plus his interest in Japanese Manga fetish characterisation.

Trans Britain Expression

And if you haven't seen it yet you may want to catch the hilarious and revealing Miss Transgender: Britain's New Beauty Queens still available on iPlayer and available for two months (UK only). Is being trans a choice, an option, a kink, a deception? Does not having the chop qualify you to be proper trans? Are the fact that almost none of them are really convincing as women... the point?

The heroine of the show has to be Courtney, author of such classic bitchiness as: "This isn't crufts!" when admonishing a fellow contestant who she'd described (rather accurately) as Phil Mitchell in a wig. The most womanly of all the contest entrants Courtney tries to use the competition to speak out about how young trans women can get trapped in the sex industry. Her nervous ambition to one day be married is touchingly real, and convincing, whereas the all-smiling Jai seems to fall foul of turning up as a cliché of a 'gay boy' playing at being a woman.

Brighton Pervery

Two things of note going on locally in Brighton. First off is a hooded heads up for the Brighton Fetish Weekend for the weekend of 24 June this summer. Expect a mix of events hosted and attended by friendly, easy-going and sometime hedonist local perves with kinky cocktails, Flashmob fetish photography, a 'Sensual Overload' Expo, the Emergency 999 Spank Ball, Twisted Market and dungeon afterparty. Sign up updates on their Facebook page here.

Meanwhile the Brighton Erotic Boudoir has flung open it's doors for business promising: "a kinky play space complete with deluxe boudoir, medical room, wet room, fully equipped dungeon and more". They also boast use of an exceptional range of modern and vintage toys. Their site is here.

Go Dutch in May for Unleashed at 5

UNLEASHED Amsterdam celebrates its 5 years anniversary on Saturday, May 21st 2016 with a 2000+ guest capacity fetish dance event at The BOX, one of Amsterdam's largest venues. More details and hype on Facebook here.

Screen Too

The growth of KFSTV.net remains unabated with a free three month subscription offer. The new kink TV channel from the publisher of the much-missed Skin Two magazine is available online, 24/7 on your TV set, iPad, laptop, Mac, PC, tablet or smartphone. CEO Tim Woodward says there won't be any porn but to expect 'intelligent, stylish, informative, fun and non-sexist content.' More here.

A Story from a Very Kinky Girl

The first book from Mistress Elena Hexthorn is a real life Mistress who has been running chambers and fetish clubs in London since the early 1990’s has been published on Kindle. Entitled Very Kinky Girls: Sexy Stories about Seductive Sirens many of the evocative stories in the book are drawn from vivid life experiences. And those in the know will recognise her as... the lady who cracks the whip behind the London Fetish Fair: so expect to get into the proper wicked mindset of fetish women, for real.

FetWatch

It seems now there's no need to be on 'FetWatch' with the mainstream media doing it for us. See Vanessa White formerly of The Saturdays spat with Jessie J about wearing a lace-up latex number. I reckon there should be a 'latax' for those stage-schoolers abusing the power of the fetish. Check out Nadia Ali's faintly annoying Rapture to see if she's abusing our consent or a proper fetisexual: You have to ask yourself is she a pop-tart wannabe or does she have the genuine fet-factor of say, Nicole Scherzinger?

You think you got tolerance problems? Try living in India

With such inflammatory atmospheres and diverse religious and caste attitudes, it's obviously a minefield being kinky in a complex culture like India's. Spoke to someone there recently about being Indian and into fetish and BDSM in the wake of recent international focus on mistreatment of women, controversial rape cases and the legal upholding of the criminalising of gay sex (now thankfully being fought against back in the courts).

My source told me: "Being kinky in India isn't simple. Between people's conservative (and often antiquated) mindsets and the law that criminalises any kind of sex 'against the order of nature', whatever that means, or shows little respect for presumption of innocence you need to be motivated to be kinky."

But there is help in the shape of The Kinky Collective. Here's an article written by one of the group, a personal foray into Playing With Love, re: BDSM, which rang some bells of truth for me. The group can also be found on Fetlife, using the search facility.

Combatulations are in order

My friend Max(ine) recently met a girl who told her she had a combat fetish. She asked the lady in question we took to calling 'Private Benjamin' to define that and in essence what was yearned for was a kind of fighting foreplay, 'like lions'. I then wondered where that would lead and asked Max what Private B reckoned the cut-off point was. Apparently the reply came that there wasn't one, replete with a shrug and a mischievous smile.

Max told me that initially she was intrigued to try, expressing a curiosity; but ultimately didn't chase Private B as she thought better of bringing out her strength in uncontrolled violence or anger, especially with a same-sex lover. Max is tall, 6ft (think Gwendoline Christie from Game of Thrones) and tends to takes things personally. Also, Private B enjoyed sleeping around and was not really in the bracket for a relationship. Max added in a text: 'If I go there with all this emotion and effort then don't connect, WTF?"

She also realised, perhaps her prospective pugilist was just trying to replicate the girl she started the fetish with. And according to Private B that didn't end well.

I'm proud of Max, a good swerve. I share the same natural intolerance for people who seem to have an open-end jazz attitude to any edge play kink practice when the ideas aren't really formed in their own mind or harking after something lost: Especially when it appears presented in that 'Hey I do S/M and I'm cool' kind of way. There's controlled and consensually arranged danger – which is bloody great fun –and then there's gloves off recklessness. Max is still friends with Private B and has helped hook her up with some fetish and LGBT connections. But yeah, she wasn't knocked out.

Bedposts

This 50 Kinky Ideas For a Sexy Relationship was a cute find as it seemed to replicate most of the Beginners Games suggestions in my book and app. It's easy to dismiss simple 'sex shop' influences into our kinky repertoire, but so many of these ideas can be preludes, digressions or add-ons for a play session, especially for fun.

I also read this: There's A Big Benefit to BDSM That Nobody's Talking About which includes a nice description of sub and top space. The article essentially points out that it helps you relax. Well, this we know, unless you are planning on fighting like unloving lions of course.
