Oh Bondage, I'm Yours (Part 1)

Howdy Fet Fans,

Straight in with a story this blog.
And I'm going to get into bondage. Not self-bondage, no. I'm going to write about it. How would I reach the keyboard? I've already got a love-hungry cat jumping up on the desk vying for my caresses.

And I'm not a recommender of self-bondage I have to say.
Lest you really want to get caught in a moment you can't get out of. 

My rule of thumb here is to either:
1. Never be alone when doing bondage games.
or
2. Let someone know where you are and give a deadline time for them or you to call or text to confirm that 'all is well'.

But I said I would get into a story eh?
And this is my dilemma. Do I go all fantasy-feeding Christian Grey on your arse or can I possibly impart some helpful positive kink safety and ideas? Well here's my book, let's get that out of the way. Internationally-acclaimed and selling in more than 12 countries now.

But even that may not be enough.
You may want some form of tangible evidence to testify what say, 'bondage' can do.

Ok, so you're the newbie in this tale.
I'll be your Daddy and guide you through. Let's start with terms.

Bondage. Kink. Fetish. BDSM. S&M. Kinky Fuckery.
They all seem to be interchangeable words. For proper definitions default to my book.
For now know that we're on the way to a club called Perversion and that many people there will have different kinks to different degrees. Some will be fussy, others not. Most of them aren't their to exercise your fantasy or expect an instant jolly. So, wake up. Fetish people are human. You may want to read this. 

However, you may be approached.
And some will ask you what you are into. You can tell them or not. Or wearing some fetish clothing, can they already see? Not all the time, some buy a latex dress just to seek attention. That may have been you.

It was a little like that for the girl I was with that time I went to Perversion.
Sofia was tall, blonde and Danish, demure and quietly elegant with absolutely no pretension. I liked her her a lot because she was both grounded and centred. We'd spent the afternoon shopping at the Breathless and Honour fetish boutiques in London and selected a sort of black governess/maid number with red piping. I secretly bought her a mask as well – not a full-on hood, but a Venetian type of thing.

The first part of a sex game or session is the anticipation.
We'd waited a couple of weeks to meet. We'd bought tickets to Perversion and booked an apartment in London. We went shopping at kinky stores. Talk about internal mental hype.

For Sofia, and many women of course, her appearance was crucial.
She spent ages getting ready, which increased my hype. We didn't communicate very well about her actual costume, because she decided last minute to start researching Japanese make-up, which to be honest, you need to prepare more for than when you're late for the night and just about to leave.

I know I let her know she wasn't there to please me.
Sofia was made aware that as it was her first night proper at a fetish club she wasn't there to think about solely pleasing me and just enjoy the experience. But, I intimated that little attention towards me and staying close together was important, as I was wary of chancers trying it on with someone so new to it all.

Sofia asked what we would do.
She kept repeating it. And it seemed to me less of a curiousness and more of an expectation that we would do something live. In. the. club. Then I realised that the anticipation, the dressing up and constant intimate communication was getting to her. Plus the Pinot Noir and G & T's we'd been having to help us relax. She may have been on that steep curve of realisation many have going to a kink night that sees it's not just a free-for-all gang-bang, and then thinks, then what are doing here? What are we going to do? And so the libido and thoughts loop.

She knew I didn't play publicly, but for her I would make exception.
And it's not a line. If the event had the right play equipment, and crucially if the timing was right and there were not too many spectators. She asked why. I said because it would affect her and make her too self-conscious. Sofia shrugged. But I could see Sofia wanted to somehow prove herself or impress me beyond her capabilities. 

So many things she had said that weekend told me she was in transition.
And the point for me was to be a good listener and monitor what kind of adult fun would be acceptable or compatible with her personality. That's part of the 'session', the psychology throughout our long liaison. I suggested some light bondage but being 'wild' and doing at the club. This really meant being discreet for a first-timer. It was also our first kink encounter and I wanted it to be special and just between us.

So, we found the play area.
There was an X-frame with manacles. Sometimes known as a St Andrew's Cross. I found this appropriate as Sofia had picked up a Scottish inflection from her student days in Edinburgh. Oh there were other benches and racks but as the game came to me I noticed the exposure and rear access to the body was good for whispering and presence work. Plus it was in a dark corner, behind an alcove. This would be good to have a go on I said. Sofia laughed. This? She said, you want to be tied to this? No, I replied, I would tie you. And later... much later on, well... after midnight.

Sofia remained open-mouthed.
Much of her spending money had come from lap-dancing where she would act out her angst and tease lager lads who knew no better. I told her such things were of no interest to me and that she needed to trust and have a joyful experience with at least one man. She had this idea that perhaps I would be like all the rest and that she would pretend to do stuff to me, as that what kinky games seemed to her. But I was not for titillation until she got it. Until she fully understood where good, caring, positive kink begins. And that would mean her taking a leap of faith and letting me tie her to so she could have an... epiphany and find out for herself. 

It wasn't me being patronizing, it was just an understanding of where she was at.
And all credit to her, Sofia had obviously connected with me because she could see I wasn't just some bozo. And it was ballsy to challenge her own supposedly feministic paradigm. But I was figuring that venting your spleen (inversely) by lap-dancing out your frustration was a croc of shit, because it negated all the guys out there who hate those kind of places. So she literally needed teaching. But had I made a mistake?

We'll see in the blog after next.
For now, what would you do in this situation?

You think you're in control and you are used to having things your way, and then you are asked to relinquish control?
All is not what it seems. 

Speak soon. And kink safely,

Jackson ; )

Alvin Stardust: "See You Girls!"

10/28/2014

RIP Alvin Stardust, British Glam Rock Star.
Ok, so My Coo Ca Choo was basically a steal of Spirit in the Sky, but f**k it, look at the way this man was dressed, a British stationary marionette version of the '68 comeback Elvis: an astonishing style god and supposedly they say, the uncrowned 'king of glam'. 

If we're honest that crown probably belonged to Marc Bolan.
Alvin though, remains forever our unique, finger-pointin', fist-clutchin', sideways-mic-holding fetish hero: a bit scary, but basically one of the good guys. Or at least not Gary Glitter.

The three-times married self-styled 'ladykiller' knew his Green Cross Code as well. Class.
 "See you girls!".

9 Ways Kink Can Amaze

Howdy Hi My Kinky Chums

This week I'd like to discuss the very reasons why I'm into kink, and why indeed I believe it's a positive thing: So I'm going to do one of those listy things you see all over the interweb to hopefully get the points across.

Please comment if I've missed any.

1. You're in a club of two
When you share so much and so intensely in kink, fetish and BDSM you can't help but be excited and supported by the closeness you share with your partner. It will give you both a hidden smile that will add to domestic bliss and be your secret connection at public events.

2. Its a hobby and shopping together is never the same
Especially when hunting down fetish outfits, BDSM equipment, toys and pervertables, inanimate items you can manipulate to your perverted will.

3. You see and witness things in each other you hadn't before
When you go to different levels of kink sexperience with each other you reveal new layers and watch each other grow with knowledge, confidence and skill.

4. Your communication and psychology improves
By practising BDSM you learn to handle you and your partner's mind, body and spirit more decisively. You learn to speak directly with clarity and you learn to read what they want better.

5. Orgasm intensity, frequency and diversity all increase
This you discover by kink sexploration and communication. By becoming co-conspirators in your wild sex quest you share easier, making you relax and more adventurous. Have you ever had a multiple orgasm? A dry, internal whole body orgasm? How about one stimulated by the G-spot? Have you had your orgasm denied!? Don't knock it until you've tried it, or haven't, if you catch my gist (no pun intended).

6. Your honesty, compassion and compersion grows
By supporting each other's kink journeys your love for your partner becomes more about wanting to see them find genuine joy. Compersion is a BDSM scene word that defines the opposite of jealousy, especially used in session with players who invite additional lovers. 

7. You're happier
Whether by sating a long-term (pervy? taboo?) desire or discovering an unexpected kink you both become more fulfilled: and it's with each other you are playing. This leads back to why you fancied your partner in the first place and obviously makes YOU more fun for your friends, family and colleagues to be around.

8. It keeps you mentally and physically fit
Through games and working out what you would like to do with and to each other you and your partner get an amazing brain and body work out. 

9. All of the above equals love
If you were speaking about other activities that bring you as close as a 'hobby' like kink does, the studio audience watching your relationship would all automatically say: 'Wow, look at how they love each other'. Because it's kink obviously some quarters will want you to focus on fear. Naysayers are right to bring up safety, but kinksters tend to already know good BDSM is done safely, sanely and consensually with lots of time taken before, during and after kink sessions to practice communication, pscychology and aftercare.

For more positive kink fun and safety through 69 awesome sessions, try before you tie:
Wishing you profundity through perversion!

Play safe and have fun

Does monogamy work against me?

10/14/2014

Recently a BoFSeG reader (we shall call 'Charlie') downloaded my book (available on Kindle Amazon, iPad, Sony, Nook, Kobo or as an Android app) and got in touch over an FAQ of mine, seeking clarification. The question and answer go thus:

"Are you a swinger? 
No, I'm a monogamous – heterosexual – kinkster, which I sometimes think works against me. But we soldier on."

Charlie spotted I wasn't being self-pitying or mournful. Indeed, recognised a similar journey for herself. 
PictureHow can we fit a female supremacy night into our monogamy?
Namely: How to be a kinkster and yet not be drawn into how others define what kink, fetish or BDSM is... for her. And yet... It's strange, in the same week I bumped into some old friends who I had to bringup to speed with my kink ventures. Or more honestly, actually revealed as much, for they hadn't known: I had chosen not to put it in their faces. And yes, they then immediately went on about...swinging or 'orgies', the words seeming synonymous in their intent:

Have you been to these parties?
Yes.
What goes on at these parties?
Different things.
Give us an example.
Well... and then proceeded to tell them my version, which I suspect was not the Caligulan one they wanted to hear. I think they wanted to hear about some kind of sex circus. Which, still, is a good name for a band.

Sometimes swinging parties are a sex circus.
I wasn't saying it wasn't. Just for me, I go looking for what I like, which I believe has more to do with direct kink and pervery than explicit mass bonking. Party kink tends to be supposedly 'lite' and often non-negotiated, usually because everyone assumes they know each other, or a friend of a friend does. Personally I think this can be a problem as a lot of assumptions are made in highly-charged erotic atmospheres. 

This is one of the reasons I believe in clear boundaries. Those that don't are a mix of experts who like it 'edgy', chancers looking for a free one, or naive newbies: They are seldom advertising themselves as monogamist or sexually straight, lest they appear inexperienced. 

Is this true for fetish nights or play clubs? I think you'd have to ask individuals how they're negotiating a relationship with a more public play night. Most I meet tend to have an arrangement that seems to fit, whether none, one or both partners are involved. Perhaps it's the secretly-not singletons out on the town you have to guard against if you feel that your interaction with them will lead to bad karma.

As for me I have met many women who were influenced to give up – swayed by their own inexperience or too much 'bad' experience. What they wanted, and were originally looking for was a solid partnership to ground them while going through their own or their partner's wild fantasies. And, curiously, an inherent desire for a stable, loving relationship is often shared by the pro-dommes I've known (and still know), epitomised in Tanya's dream sequence in the classic British fetish film Preaching to the Perverted. But is a dominatrix wanting both marriage and client list of slaves less a case of wanting their cake and eating it, or more an insatiable pro-fantasy-realiser's appetite for wanting everything (in their control)?

I'm wondering if kink monogamy is just a case of meeting the one that get's you, kinky or not. Or at least the person is trying to. Like in the famous way Linda supportively-enticed Paul McCartney with the simple loving words: "It's allowed." No wonder Macca's a double thumbs-up kind of guy.

Over to Charlie:
"In my limited experience, the terms monogamous and kinkster seem to be almost paradoxical. I have had contact from a number of men who have pounced on the single word of 'kink' and somehow assume this means I'm happy to sleep around, swap partners or am open to some kind of open or poly-amorous relationship (even though I have specifically stated MONOGAMOUS!) I have no problem with those who choose to go down that path, (whatever floats your boat, right?!) but it's not one I'm interested in. It seems I can either have the chance at a potentially long-term monogamous relationship with VeryVanilla sex on a Tuesday night at 9 o clock, or a lot of good old fashioned screaming kink as long as I don't mind my partner bed hopping or moving on to the next woman in a very short space of time."

Charlie's dichotomy is a common one. I believe that a lot of people have actually tried to go down the path to profound pervery and are frequently put off by the actions of people over-accessing their inner chimp. It seems that oftentimes the word kink is used as an excuse for free-for-all fuck-flakery rather than a reason to grow.

But what if the growth comes from multiple-partner playing?
Putting aside those that are happy in open relationships, if the search elsewhere by one partner is not purely about hole or cock then a monogamous relationship may be untenable. But couples, perhaps in crisis over this, need to appreciate how non-sexual their wanderer is being. Some dom/mes needing a sub may only be doing everything but integrating copulation: ditto – vice versa – submissives 'trapped' with a partner who doesn't fancy playing hard.
So why not except one's kink fate, chill out and be fancy free and free for anything fancy?

I guess, as Charlie says, the key point is the connection:
"I have had a 'fuckbuddy', very briefly, who was very much into kink. As a natural submissive it was quite a lot of fun to find someone with a strong dominant side to explore with. We had nothing else in common at all – whilst the sex was pretty good, it was missing the certain connection that comes with really knowing someone. I have no regrets, but I wouldn't personally choose to go down that route again."

As Charlie further explains:
"There are many men who have tried to convince me that I have the situation all wrong. that a kinky relationship cannot be monogamous. That having an online/ Skype based system makes up for not being close enough to each other geographically. Again, I have no problem at all with people who choose to do this, but I'm quite clear that it is not what I'm after. I have been told that this doesn't exist – I sincerely hope these people are wrong and I'm willing to hold out until then. I'm happy enough on my own, there's no desperation, I'm in no hurry."

Let me tell you it does exist Charlie.
I've been in kink relationships and they were fine. But like all relationships you have to iron out the rough spots and work together. The problem with playing away is that although it might be non-sexual, it's almost always about two people 'bonding' over a common interest outside your love affair, and that's hard to take, because it seems like a mental betrayal. This is where the art of negotiation for all concerned is underused.

I think for if you can trade or 'try' kinks and fetishes that can be a massive help.
Also, not being to strict with your menu when one goes searching. Its one thing to be seeking, let's say for example, 'a medium-build, solvent, Gemini non-smoking vegetarian', without throwing, 'must be into dressing up as a pony' into the mix. The likelihood of meeting this exact combination like a set of beyond-menu pizza toppings is the rare part. Like the old feminist joke, it's a shame, but men don't turn into pizza to end and make the perfect date.

There are ways around your own rules. And instead of letting someone talk yourself into 'that stuff they want to do', think about focusing on the other's happiness for a consecutive session each. If, for example, you want to be dommed and they want to be dommed, one of you can be dominated to dominate or required to 'top from the bottom'. As long as proceedings are safe, sane and consensual, with your eye on your mindsets, communication and aftercare you can swap doing this and practice the mechanics of how this will get one or both of you excited. But by playing with each other, you are playing with each other. Somewhere in the positive and consensual melee of BDSM dynamics you will find a way, then another, then another.

Anyway, that's my blog best on this. I hope this helps. For now I must thank Charlie for her email and leave her the last paragraphs, explaining the reasons for her deep desires, maybe if you've read this far you can add your (vetted) comments or support underneath:

"Sex for me has always been somewhat addictive. I find having sporadic on/off sexual activity much more difficult to handle than none at all. I find myself in a place of subspace surprisingly easily which is awesome, but on the downside I get severe sub-drop. Experience has taught me that this is only remedied with a hell of a lot of TLC or more sex. The closest thing I can compare it to is the withdrawal of a Drug - depression, confusion, apathy, and some flu type symptoms. Hence it's better for me not to be sexually active if it's not going to happen on a Very regular basis! Put simply, I've never met a man who could keep up. Sex gives me energy - I become the Duracell bunny if I'm getting it regularly! I don't require much sleep. My house is clean, I bake like a dervish, can work 2 full time jobs, study, and volunteer. The more I have, the more I want.

"My kink experience is limited. I have been (for want of a better phrase) 'used and abused' a few times. I never knew pain could be so much fun. The rougher the better. I have never been restrained or tied up but would really like to try. I'm lucky... I'm one of those rare women who can orgasm just through thought – there's a lot of fun to be had there. It also means I've had to learn supreme self control as there are some things it's just not appropriate to do at a community group gathering or business meeting! I'm sure I have limits, I just haven't found them yet. I'm open to trying pretty much anything once, except showers! Apparently there are 3 kinds. I regret Googling that.

The Good News of Positive Kink

9/25/2014

Hi and welcome to my new and shiny website and stand-alone blog. 

Hopefully you would have worked out by now that there is more than a little British humour in the title for The Book of Filthy Sex Games. The fact is I could have called it 'Fetish' games, but then I wouldn't appeal to mainstream newcomers cumulatively excited by the titillating twists of pop culture kink; still, I wouldn't have had so much fun with the classical font either.

A couple of questions have arisen concerning what I've tried to do with the book, in turn dovetailing and seemingly contradicting it's intentions. So allow me to clarify.

I was inspired to write about positive kink FUN and SAFETY after seeing several weird incidences of manipulation and ineptitude at clubs and private play parties. Yes, it happens. It struck me (no pun intended) that some people were picking up crops and swinging them just because they were mean types or 'knew about S&M'. Plus there was a growing number of how I term Be-corseted Burlesque Betties and tops-off Silly Chilli Pepper Chaps being quite literally redress of ideas and 'fetiquette' when trying to mix in or barge about with the kinky crowd.

This isn't snootiness, but an observation. And most of the kink scene are a friendly and intelligent bunch who know what they're doing (to each other). But obviously the next, y and z generations were coming through with their libidos and hunger to learn more, but who was going to show them the menu?

These observations took place over the past ten years, well before the Fifty Shades boom. But some of the hyperbole surrounding that book, which is after all, fiction, deeply concerned me as well. I have to say I'm not against the book, I'm with the famous bibliophile Art Garfunkel: I think it's good.
(Although perhaps not as a massive trilogy, but then, it's very popular).

I eventually realised that non-fiction kink books tended to be instructional or ideas led, not both. That they were either pink and fluffy stocking fillers; or dark and mysterious, clever, ponderous foreboding tomes. Not both. Or that they were about 'kinky' or 'kink', overt porny sex or BDSM, alternative sex or fetish! Some books were academic and others, frankly, insubstantial. 

None of them felt inclusive or interconnected. 
There was no bridge between mainstream and alternative culture.They felt directly marketed or cliquey, jumping the bandwagon and uninformed. Of course, there are some brilliant works, but they are more specialised, and I recommend the good ones in the 'Library of Kink' in The Book of Filthy Sex Games. It's just that categories are only helpful in an actual library when you're looking for stuff, not for how you want be as a person.

Anyway, you see how my intentions are first about spreading the good news of positive kink and fetiquette, having both safety (instruction) and fun (ideas and recipes for kink): With no agenda except facilitation. It's a tricky thing to pull off (still no pun intended) and there will always be those subjective voices who will say I've either been reckless or a spoilsport.

Yes, another reason is to make a living. 
How else can I justify time on this? I do need to eat. And yes, God I'd love a bundle of cash, that would be quite useful. But royalties (as opposed to sales) are not the be all and end all. For me it's the project that counts, and learning (I have learnt a hell of a lot these past few years, that's for sure) and growing from it to be a better writer and ultimately, lover for my partner.

Thanks for reading,
Jackson Rocco ; )
