The more astute among you may have noticed that this blog did not update earlier this week, contrary to my stated update schedule. There has been a lot going on in my private life in the past few weeks, and now we’re in the process of moving house, I’m ashamed to say that the blog entry I was supposed to write didn’t even cross my mind until yesterday! I have noticed, also, that I haven’t been getting around to replying [...]

The Porn Taboo: Drawing
I have been concentrating a lot on improving my drawing skills recently – I have put a few pictures up here which I wasn’t really happy with, and realised that the problem wasn’t a lack of skill, or even a lack of patience, but simply that I hadn’t left myself enough time. It isn’t even the case that a good drawing takes all that much more time than a poor one, but the feeling of being rushed makes a lot [...]

Submission, Security and Satisfaction
It’s occurred to me, over the course of this last week, that I haven’t spent all that much time on this blog actually writing about my submissive tendencies, despite my initial intentions. It’s not, I think, that I feel any kind of reluctance to talk about them, quite the converse, but rather that they haven’t been very prominent lately. Over the past few months, a lot of things have run out of control a bit, and there have been more [...]

Under One Roof
So, it seems I have finally managed to produce a Friday update, and on a Friday, no less! Things have reached a point where my online presence can be (hopefully!) a bit less scattered, and I can get back into writing on some kind of regular schedule. Drawing, I hope, shall follow – there are a couple of pencil drafts for an image for this post, but none of them have been inked or coloured yet. If you’re really good, [...]

Update Schedule Vs. Reality
The more astute among you may have noticed that this blog did not update earlier this week, contrary to my stated update schedule.

On Learning To Draw Erotica
I have been really enjoying the chance to draw filthy pictures, with the excuse that I need them for blog-post illustrations. While I have been far from satisfied with all of the results so far, I have been pleasantly surprised at how they have been turning out. If that sounds like a contradiction to you, then you clearly have not spent much time drawing. The process of learning to draw does not, at any stage, contain a drastic improvement. The [...]

Kink Politics
Walk On By
I’ve read a lot, over the past couple of months, on the problems surrounding the reporting, treatment, and repercussions of abusive behaviour – particularly in the scene, but also in more general terms. The things I’m thinking about, by the way, have been these two Pervocracy posts (both trigger-tastic, by the way,) that terrible shitstorm on FetLife, and – the thing which spurred me to write what I’m currently writing – this article by Mona Eltahawy, on the state of gender relations in the Middle East. While [...]

Off The Hook
What with everything that’s been going on over the past few weeks, I have had a lot of time to think about the way the D/s dynamic in the house has been evolving over the past few months. One phenomenon which I would like to write about, which I have touched on before briefly, is the idea of submission being a way of getting let off the hook. I’ve heard a fair few people talking about this kind of feeling, [...]

How I Found My Kink
I just moved the chips and there it was! No, wait.. ——————————– Thanks for all your good wishes, guys. We’re all back in the country now, and things should be continuing more or less as normal, which is to say, hardly behind schedule at all. ——————————– False Starts My first experiences with kink, as with many people, were at quite a young age, with a partner who was not as into the idea as I was. The first time I [...]
