This month sees a brand new look to the magazine and a<br />
wonderful collaboration with Sir Arithon our shiny and talented<br />
new Associate Editor.<br />
Between the pages you will find the<br />
usual high quality articles fun and<br />
mischief, so happy reading!<br />
Don’t forget to drop in to our brand<br />
new bi weekly debate on a<br />
Wednesday @2pm SLT, where we<br />
throw out the old model of discussions<br />
and dare to be different…..grins<br />
Frenzy, the torment of confusion….<br />
Frenzy is the tight skin feeling and suffocation of trying to be<br />
other than I am, restless and railing at the complications, no<br />
peace when looking at an empty Dominant’s chair with a<br />
restless heart…<br />
If you met me yesterday, I'm sorry<br />
If you met me today, I'm sorry<br />
If you meet me tomorrow<br />
you're welcome<br />
Tomorrow will be better than today the confusion settling, so I<br />
use a sledge hammer to break out of that powerless feeling,<br />
frenzy trying to keep me so small, I wake up each morning<br />
and take up as much space as I can as I am not here to play<br />
small.<br />
Trying to be resilient, resolved in strength and foundation. I feel angry and out of sorts. At<br />
those times I want to throw, break, smash, until I sob out the pressure I feel building up<br />
inside me.<br />
I refuse to stay small I find my centre and peace, where can I find it when you are<br />
absent, work to do, thoughts to resolve, A foundation to remember, clinging to you, even<br />
when you feel like you are not there.<br />
Easier said than done at times, so walk through these pages, here’s hoping you find<br />
some nuggets of wisdom, take what you will from the articles for your own dynamic.

Thrown to the floor<br />
Well our first debate style of discussion was received it is fair to say with mixed<br />
responses. I guess people are not used to this type of format. What we are looking for<br />
is a forum where all opinions hold as much weight as any<br />
other with the ability to challenge and probe peoples<br />
views.<br />
The conclusions of last<br />
months live debate at<br />
the L&R venue in second<br />
life. Last months Subject<br />
was submissive frenzy by<br />
Sir Arithon<br />
Typical SL discussions with the rather gentlemanly and<br />
restrained discussion format tend to promote a<br />
consensus view point and what i am hoping to achieve in<br />
this forum is a more fringe and dynamic response.<br />
Dominant and Submissive voices, popular and unpopular<br />
views welcomed although be prepared to be challenge (respectfully of course)<br />
because this a debate to dig out what people really think.<br />
There is no facilitator for these debates and lets keep the challenge to the open floor.<br />
Look out for the notices when the next one is happening. We would love to see you<br />
there at the Liberty and Restraint Venue. <br />
Suffice to say though we did get going and had a good look at a variety of perceptions<br />
of the term frenzy. As promised here is the summary of the groups conclusions<br />
although we didn't cover the topic in the depth it deserves or the time allowed.
Submissive Frenzy<br />
Our conclusions based on a very limited number of participants<br />
Probing the areas of Sub frenzy requires a certain amount of courage on the<br />
part of submissive who are required to discuss with a group some of the most<br />
emotional feelings often promoting feelings of vulnerability<br />
and so first I’d like to say thank you to the contributors who<br />
braved the floor.<br />
Frenzy it was concluded comes in many forms. Discussion<br />
even drifted to those types who mimic being in that way to<br />
attract attention to their need. This group is often suffering<br />
from some sort of abandonment or desperation to find any<br />
dynamic at any cost. It is true to say that they pose a threat<br />
to themselves in terms of some of the dynamics they might<br />
find and they also pose a threat to any Dominant that may<br />
attempt to help them and inadvertently find themselves<br />
making it worse. Support groups thankfully exist to help<br />
this group and every chance should be given for them to<br />
be steered in that general direction.<br />
Another view was that sometimes-heavy emotional stress<br />
can bring on the felling of panic. We discussed here the<br />
ways in which a Dominant can assist with these feelings<br />
especially over distance. IT is a difficult thing when<br />
separated by time and space to provide the up close<br />
personal care that is wanted at these times but most<br />
healthy dynamics it seems have built in mechanisms to cope with these natural<br />
states especially in submissive people. Simple communication tools, ways to<br />
contact, phones, Skype and email are just some powerful ways of bridging the<br />
distance and touching when all around you the walls are closing in.<br />
What causes frenzy? I think that it would be very hard to isolate a single or<br />
even a small group of causes here and also very difficult to dig out the real<br />
truth. Not because people are deceitful but let’s face it an emotionally violent<br />
reaction to a perfectly benign situation with no explanation is pretty difficult to<br />
explain.<br />
We are not basket cases but the sheer intensity of the things we can<br />
experience in the Power exchange dynamic opens the mind to the ravages of<br />
this sort of thing.
Abandonment is a real problem when time and life constraints pressure people into not<br />
being able to provide the level of support those that are in a 247 situation can provide.<br />
Tools for contact are most welcome here and the ability to be able to agree steps we<br />
need to take when we are confronted with this sort of problem.<br />
The submissives in the group talked about support networks and people to<br />
talk to and the fact that they have themselves<br />
developed coping skills when they are able to<br />
detect the onset of frenzy.<br />
But what of Dominants? Do we experience the<br />
same? This is an unpopular admission I guess but<br />
yes the group stepped up and for sure we can<br />
frenzy. The feeling of being powerless over a<br />
situation is one way this can occur. The not<br />
knowing how to respond does affect us all and can<br />
lead to meltdown of that famous Dominant control.<br />
mess.<br />
We would generally not show that side of course<br />
and prefer to retreat to a quiet corner to get it<br />
pulled back together. In truth I am the opposite<br />
and tend to tear at a thing<br />
until I do have some control<br />
over it. This does in truth lead<br />
to a rather ugly bear<br />
splashing around making a<br />
Communication is always the key and setting up<br />
mechanisms inside your dynamics that help you manage<br />
these situations with the minimal amount of damage.<br />
My thoughts echo everything I have recited here but in a<br />
closing thought I would add:<br />
Remember that inside a dynamic no matter its make-up<br />
there are still two or more people with real human<br />
emotions fears and dreams. This can sometimes spill out<br />
of a person without them being able to do a thing about it<br />
and I think life is all the more exciting for it.<br />

Running, by Carosell<br />
Running(Over and Over Again)<br />
By: Carosell<br />
It was a year ago we met. Me, on he heels of a crippling<br />
heartbreak, trying to pick my way alone through a world I<br />
was never meant to be alone in.<br />
You were not alone, not in heart nor circumstance. I<br />
made note of the fact that you were claimed long before<br />
we met and treated you with friendly circumspect. I was<br />
vulnerable you see, and I was very aware of it. Yet you<br />
found me in the crowd, over an over again, singling me<br />
out, with a focus that made me run from you, over and<br />
over again, throwing up my “friendly circumspect” as a<br />
guard. You were relentless, without meaning to be so,<br />
offering exactly what I needed- caring, respect, friendship,<br />
loyalty, protection. Every feminine part of me was pulled<br />
to every alpha part of you.<br />
“We’re like Romeo and Juliet, aren’t we?” you said. Do<br />
you even remember? I remember how the words rang<br />
within me. Made me pause. Compelled me to show you,<br />
only for a moment, my vulnerability to you, you could<br />
breach my boundaries like no other could. Always the<br />
gentleman you didn’t push to take advantage as others<br />
would. You told me I was safe with you... and then proved<br />
it... over and over again.<br />
Running(Over and Over<br />
Again)<br />
a reflective piece by<br />
Carosell<br />
But I was already on the run, from you, again, pulling the<br />
friendly circumspect behind me like a cloak.<br />
I ran haphazardly, and headlong, straight into a spider web of disaster. Everyone could<br />
see it would be disaster, but me. I was blinded by the glittery, dewy newness of the web.<br />
The beauty of it up close disguised the web for what it was... A trap! So many others had<br />
been caught in that web before me, and would be caught in it after me. I, like them,<br />
confused the web for a haven, all the while unaware of how the web was being spun<br />
tighter and tighter around... suffocatingly tight. How could I not see the web for the peril<br />
it was? I was blinded. By then the web had been spun around my head, covering even<br />
my eyes. I was lulled into such a sense of security that when the killing blow came I was<br />
unaware and unprepared.
Suddenly I was free-falling! The perceived warmth and safety of the web destroyed.<br />
The web in tatters revealing it for what it really was. Pain. So much pain. Pain on every<br />
side. All I can do is curl up in a ball as pain surrounds me on every side. As I flutter to<br />
the ground, bruised and broken, you’re there with offers of a safe haven, standing sentry,<br />
arms crossed, imposing, strong, and promising that no one will get by you again.<br />
My wounds are tended. I begin to heal. It seemed from one day to the next you moved<br />
from sentry to intimate bodyguard. You’ve decided it’s time you stop letting me run...<br />
you’ve decided to give chase. I vaguely recognise that I was only mildly the focus of<br />
your attention before, but now I’m the complete centre of it.<br />
My focus centres on you, as well. Now, I can’t wait to hear your voice, I can’t wait for you<br />
to get home. Perfectly content to be cocooned in your arms as we talk about the<br />
mundane. My thoughts filled with pictures of touching you, kissing you, licking you, biting<br />
you, tasting you. I try to tell myself we’re just friends, I try to run away. I look for the cloak<br />
of friendly circumspect but it’s in shreds, and those shreds don’t last past the first sound<br />
of your voice, touch of your hand, murmur of your lips against my skin... I want to hear<br />
your voice commanding me. I want to feel your fingers caressing a path possessively<br />
across my breasts. I want to feel your lips on my skin. I want... I want...<br />
I want so much, I can’t put it into words. I don’t dare put myself out there, vulnerable...<br />
again... with words. Not even with you. So I do my best to show you, pressing close, my<br />
breasts brushing your chest so you can feel my nipples dragging there. My teeth,<br />
nibbling along your jaw to your ear, teasing, tempting, coaxing. I try not to let my<br />
vulnerability show, trying to balance just the right mix of playfulness, intensity, and need.<br />
I move up to straddle your lap, my mouth, nibbling and licking down your neck past your<br />
shoulder, to your chest where I bite down, lightly, not wanting to hurt you. Not sure if<br />
you’ll like it.<br />
“Harder, love,” you order.<br />
I shiver and moan softly because that’s exactly what I want, I was just to shy, to nervous,<br />
to scared to show you the full extent of my needs, my desires, my... tastes. I bite harder<br />
as commanded and you moan. I flick my tongue out soothingly against your skin and<br />
your hands at my hips tighten briefly. My mouth moves down to rub against your nipple.<br />
I flick my tongue out and feel you shift under me.<br />
Your hands move up into my hair. Taking a handful of my hair, you pull my head<br />
back and your mouth descends on mine. My lips cling hungrily to yours, my tongue<br />
seeks yours out. My mouth does everything to yours that it can, and when you pull away<br />
I can see my need reflected in your face along with demands of your own. I pull in a<br />
stuttering breath, as my lust explodes into something ravenous. I look at you,<br />
unexpectedly at a loss of what to do next, and so afraid of disappointing you. But before<br />
I can panic, you take over and I’m caught up so quickly I’m not sure what happens<br />
next....
You hands and mouth touch me and taste me everywhere. My clothes are roughly and<br />
urgently removed as are yours. I’m lifted, moved, repositioned over you all in a whirlwind<br />
of movements my mind can barely register because my mind and body are overwhelmed<br />
by the heat and desire you’ve stoked to all consuming levels. All I know is I’m naked<br />
straddling an equally naked you again. My breasts are cupped in your hands. I’m utterly<br />
aware of your cock hot, hard, and drooling just beneath my heated wet core. I realise if I<br />
just sink down a couple of inches I’ll finally have you inside me.<br />
A sharp smack on my ass warns me and I stop, looking at you biting my lip. Your thumbs<br />
rub across my nipples as you look at me sternly, making it clear without words that you’ll<br />
take me only when your ready... and you still have some playing to do. Ass stinging,<br />
pussy throbbing, nipples hard and tingling. I whimper, and nod slowly in acquiescence.<br />
Still my hips rotate above your cock.<br />
“Are you swollen? Wet?” you ask, your eyes on mine as your lips rub across a nipple.<br />
I bit my lip unable to suppress a moan. “And throbbing,” I respond on a breath.<br />
A brow raises in surprise. “Throbbing? Already sweetheart?”<br />
I nod. “Please, baby. Please... I need-.” My words are cut off by a cry of pleasure as you<br />
take my nipple into you mouth, sucking hard. You pull back, my nipple still in your<br />
mouth, held in your teeth pulled, stretched reaching that point of pleasure/pain that<br />
makes me close my eyes, and dig my nails into your back. You don’t release my nipple.<br />
Instead, still holding my breasts in a firm hard grasp you drag me close and suck my<br />
nipple into your mouth again. Bitting my nipple lightly you turn to the other breast, the<br />
other nipple, giving it the same attention.<br />
My breasts feel swollen, heavy and oh so sensitive now, but just as I’m thinking I want<br />
you to do it all, all over again and again, you hands grip my waist and pull me down hard<br />
on your cock! I scream your name! My nails dig into your shoulders. I hear you groan,<br />
but I can’t stop to savour or respond because your moving inside me, hard, fast. Your<br />
hands at my hips demanding, training me to keep up with your pace. God, Baby,<br />
damned if I didn’t try. It’s almost too much all the sensations, you cock, long hard thick<br />
inside me, filling me, stretching me, every bit as demanding as the rest of you. I cry your<br />
name like prayer over and over.<br />
I wrap my arms tight around your neck. My hands trailing down rake your back, leaving<br />
my mark on you. You come into me over and over, my wetness coating you, your<br />
hardness filling me. My nails anchor into your back my cries become hiccups signaling<br />
my impending fulfilment.<br />
“There it is.” Your voice catches on a groan. “Cum for me, Sweetheart.”
Your words throw me off the precipice completely and I am fracturing all around you,<br />
feeling completely torn apart and put back together all at the same time. I cry out,<br />
something, some word that is somewhere between your name and gibberish. But it’s not<br />
the end. It goes on and on, shaking me, wrecking me, making me, destroying me, and<br />
creating me. I feel you erupt inside me and that pushes me higher and pulls me deeper.<br />
Collapsed against your chest my breath shallow, my heart and limbs weak. Doubts and<br />
fears begin to crowd in. I press my face to your neck, not wanting to face them and not<br />
ready to face you. Your arms move up my back and wrap tightly around me. I feel you<br />
kiss my forehead. I sigh and feel the doubts and fears fade into the darkness.<br />
Against my ear I hear you whisper, “Good girl, you stopped running.”<br />

The man chuckles, putting pen to paper this poignant escapes numb fingers as each<br />
word tumbles around, looping from head to heart. Surely something so special can not<br />
evade him forever.?<br />
The man chuckles what would you say to one so pivotal on all you think and do. How<br />
would you write with no ambition upon the words, no expectant result but still convey the<br />
depth of feeling so profound ?<br />
The man Sighs. Perhaps a break from weary pondering, phrases slipping away the<br />
moment they Crystallise. Each time he gets up to refresh tired coffee cup a thought<br />
springs into being and his labours continue?<br />
The man stretches. How can he express his heart and yet remain objective. A depth of<br />
feeling so resolute, so strong yet vibrant and healthy. Is it rising panic that the message<br />
will be lost that forces words to remain elusive. ?<br />
The man frowns never before has such a task remained so impossible to reach. He<br />
knows what it is he seeks yet with each passing hour the clutching and grasping of words<br />
and ideas tumble into each other and refuse to gel on the page. ?<br />
The man Laughs a flickering gaze at the paper basket reveals many failed attempt to<br />
craft this emotional note. Contorted balls of paper with half written lines that yet failed to<br />
bring them to life. Discarded for their imperfections, dismissed as nothing but flotsam.<br />
How can it be that hard?<br />
The man smiles the reflection of his tired eyes flickering in the window. A freedom<br />
sweeping over him with the realisation of the answer. Slow once elusive words slip into<br />
the pen an March at cross the paper somehow lending power to determined fingers.<br />
The man stands finally content at his labour. The message complete and neatly folded<br />
out of sight as if the merest glimpse would rob it of power. So simple in the end the<br />
message to convey her importance, to demonstrate such feeling without the heady<br />
weight of pressure laid upon those already burdened shoulders.
The man smiles and extinguishes the candle now spluttering in its own wax. The<br />
darkness cool on tired eyes. The message resonating from beneath the folded cloak of<br />
parchment. He felt sure it's meaning would be clear and envisioned beautiful fingers<br />
pealing back the corners.<br />
Secure in the knowledge that the two words written there would speak volumes..<br />
Simply…<br />
Thank You.?
“Frenzy?”<br />
Introduction<br />
So a question I’ve been asked often is, “What do we mean by “Frenzy”?”. This comes<br />
up often when someone speaks about “sub frenzy” but<br />
there is also “Dom frenzy” as well. I hope to shed some<br />
light on these situations by looking at the bigger picture<br />
and then how these roles might manifest in people’s<br />
behaviour.<br />
Frenzy Definition<br />
In general, we can pretty easily visualise a “frenzy of<br />
activity”, but what do we actually mean?<br />
Copyright (C) 2015,<br />
Limits Unleashed LLC.<br />
By definition, the use of “frenzy” boils down to: (1) wild excitement or derangement, (2)<br />
extreme mental agitation, (3) a violent fit or spell of emotions or activity characteristic of<br />
mania. As an ex<strong>amp</strong>le, this might be a flurry of activity to get ready for a party before<br />
guests arrive when accompanied by heightened emotions, or desperate rushing to<br />
gather materials and books before rushing to class or work.<br />
When used in the BDSM culture, the common use usually references someone relatively<br />
new to the scene and who is experiencing overwhelming excitement. The frenzy is the<br />
want to do all the things, all the time, more and more, and now all NOW!
This state often leads to poor decision making and therefore bad outcomes which range<br />
from not enough sleep, food, water, to poor choices about partners and details of scenes.<br />
Frenzy can also cause one to omit the mindfulness needed to properly recognise the<br />
nature of risk inherent in various types of play; drop important details such as: mental,<br />
emotional, and physical limits, needs, or after care; and miss proper signals during<br />
scenes to help govern safety and response – often resulting in serious harm.<br />
Frenzy Sources<br />
Spinning<br />
Spinning out of control can feel fun, but its dangerous to you and others without proper<br />
self-restraint and control.<br />
Let’s put these things together. What we have is an Emotional drive to Act, a feeling so<br />
strong it distorts perspective and priority. Frenzy demands we take heed – often without<br />
much consideration or regard to consequences. When someone is subject to a frenzied<br />
state, they are Reacting (no thought) versus Responding (mindfulness), spinning out of<br />
control. But what causes the frenzy?? Well lots of things, among them include, but not<br />
limited to:<br />
Newbie Excitement<br />
Identity Insecurity<br />
Proving/Approval<br />
Posturing<br />
Scene Rush/Drop<br />
Loneliness/Desperation<br />
Distraction/Coping<br />
Newbie Excitement<br />
Newbie excitement is pretty easy to recognise. They have no experience, want to do “all<br />
the things”, and push themselves to fit everything in with a certain reckless abandon.<br />
This is a type of frenzy. In their excitement and naïveté, all the precautions go out the<br />
window – among them proper sleep, hydration, nutrition, and pacing. While it’s okay to<br />
be excited, it is not okay to lose your mind in the process and ignore the risks associated<br />
with decisions and responsibilities that will just “slow you down. It’s all about the wonder<br />
of potential and the intensity of newness.<br />
While it’s good to be excited and optimistic about your potential experiences, you still<br />
need to keep a level head. Rushing into things completely clueless was fine as a child,<br />
BUT you are an adult now, like it or not, and are responsible for your choices, or lack<br />
thereof. You must, therefore, temper yourself and show enough self-discipline to use<br />
good judgment. If you want to be a careless twit, that’s your call of course, but don’t drag<br />
anyone else into your drama and try to use your “innocence” as an excuse.
Identity Insecurity<br />
There is a misunderstanding that a person must fit into a category or label that describes<br />
them. This is essentially seeking some confirmation of who they are, both to themselves<br />
and to others, a specific label on which they can rely. Many people in BDSM, especially<br />
those new, often focus or obsess over finding the right term or label for themselves.<br />
Once they seem to have found a label or term, they either adopt it themselves or insist<br />
another should recognise that role immediately and completely. Essentially, this is a<br />
tendency to force BDSM into an all or nothing proposition – another form of frenzy. Do<br />
not fall into the trap to test and find your identity in a hurry and without careful<br />
contemplation or reflection.<br />
Defining yourself, your identity, is not conveyed by adopting a label. Labels and terms<br />
are only a tool to help describe what we have found to be partially true, and is essentially<br />
a shortcut in communication. This shortcut is not meant to be the full dialog however, but<br />
rather only the start of establishing some initial common ground as to what you are<br />
looking for and what might be a good fit.<br />
Proving /Approval<br />
So you feel you are optimistic, but not overexcited. You are more than a label, but<br />
perhaps found a few that helps others understand where you are coming from. Good…<br />
you are on the right track. Now others might push back on how you are defining yourself<br />
(are you a “true” Dom or sub?), or you might say to yourself “well, you said you are X,<br />
now prove it.” If you are going out of your way to overly extend yourself in order to prove<br />
yourself, prove your love or devotion, prove your ability to give or receive, then it’s a<br />
dare. Whether from your inside voice or someone else, do not fall for the dare.<br />
There is a tendency to lose mindfulness when our bluff is called. It’s what I call the “oh<br />
yeah?!?” response and tends to go overboard to Prove the strength of your conviction.<br />
Human nature often tends to double-down on a belief or conviction. That is another sort<br />
of frenzy, to over commit beyond reason into something potentially dangerous because<br />
you are allowing yourself to be baited, and the emotions are getting the better of you.<br />
Posturing<br />
Posturing as a form of frenzy is what you get when you combine “Identity Insecurity” and<br />
“Proving/Approval”. This is a perfect recipe for disaster for the individual and those<br />
around them, both for the drama and possible harm it can cause. Essentially, the<br />
element of trying to establish their identity is assuming a role completely, and often<br />
without the necessary experience or education required. With ego invested, there is now<br />
a need to try to walk the talk, and if that fails, bluff and bluster. Learning has ceased to<br />
occur, sensitivity to the needs or safety of others has halted, and we have a dangerous<br />
situation where there is just enough knowledge to be dangerous and too little concern<br />
about others to be reckless.

There is no simple cure or fix for reckless and wilful ignorance. If you see it, run from it<br />
as quickly as you can. No need to comment on it, just shut it down and move on.<br />
Chances are anything you might have to say of value to them will simply be ignored<br />
because the door to learning isn’t open. If you find yourself getting caught up in the<br />
moment, and starting to fall into this trap, give yourself a little time out. Get some air,<br />
breathe deep, and ground yourself back to reality. There is no shame in humility, in<br />
learning, and being open to others. Everyone makes mistakes, for that is how we learn;<br />
it’s when we do not listen and learn from our lessons that we repeat our errors. Check<br />
the ego at the door, and be your genuine best self.<br />
Scene Rush/Drop<br />
Frenzy can also come from the incredible highs of a good scene, as much as the drop<br />
that eventually occurs afterwards. On one hand you may be so energised by a scene,<br />
something so intense and charging, that you just want More of it. The neurochemicals in<br />
your body are altering your perceptions, feelings, and thinking. All you know is that you<br />
want more of this thing that was so amazing. Or maybe you had a great scene and are<br />
still floating and buzzing, feeling better than ever. Things start to subside, the<br />
neurochemicals correct, and you start coming down – and it sucks. There is the adage<br />
of “a little of the hair of the dog that bit you” comes to the front of the mind. You need<br />
something. NO, you NEED something NOW to help you through this.<br />
You are, essentially, now caught up in “chasing the dragon”. You are now seeking the<br />
same high – or at least something close enough to help you through. Make no mistake…<br />
that is exactly what it is, a high created through your own body’s production of chemicals<br />
and hormones. First, one must realise that when you are on a drug (any drug, even<br />
ones your body produce) the first rule is remembering that you ARE ON A DRUG. What<br />
you experience and feel is not part of the normal day to day. This moment is the<br />
exception, not the norm. There is nothing like your first intense experience, much like<br />
someone’s first great high. The two are NOT different – which is why the community<br />
shuns use of substances in play, its already risky enough to have significant challenges<br />
without adding yet another factor to complicate things and make it even riskier.<br />
Loneliness/Desperation<br />
I often hear about the challenges when dealing with long distance relationships or the<br />
time between play parties, events, and visits with their significant others. Loneliness can<br />
be a very tangible and heavy emotional burden. When it goes on for too long and/or<br />
when the insecurity starts adding to that emotional weight, it can be unbearable. Add to<br />
this the feelings behind why we feel lonely. To alleviate the pain, the hunger or desire to<br />
go the extra mile and make up for lost time can be quite palatable.<br />
This is yet another type of frenzy, where logic leaves the building in the face of loneliness<br />
and feelings of desperation. The desire to eliminate this pain can be so strong that good<br />
judgment is abandoned in order to lessen the feelings of isolation, doubt, rejection, etc.<br />
A simple fact borne out by research is that much of addiction leads back to feelings of<br />
isolation and loneliness. Coping depends on learning how to be brave and strong with<br />
yourself as well as building and using your support network. Try reconnecting with<br />
family, friends, partners, nature, or your spiritual practice – it’s about connection.
Distraction/Coping<br />
For many, the feeling of being under stress is no trivial matter. Be it professional or<br />
personal demands, whether in expressions of criticism, or events that leads to physical<br />
or emotional isolation or abandonment. When feelings of rejection are compounded by<br />
emotions of embarrassment or humiliation, this makes things even worse. Life can be<br />
particularly challenging, especially when trying to manage painful emotions associated<br />
with rejection. Therefore, it is not uncommon to seek a method of escape from the<br />
awareness of pain you presently feel. It is the basis for much of our current<br />
entertainment industry, to escape and distract, and why US consumer habits are often an<br />
emotional based sale. Yet, this is also another type of frenzy state.<br />
Use of reckless action to cope or distract yourself from life’s stressors, while common<br />
enough, is still reckless. One might seek to relieve pressures at work, at home due to<br />
children, or matters of relationship tension. When the use of a thing is engaged with a<br />
certain wanton disregard for outcome or consequence, we can still say its part of the<br />
Frenzy mindset. The need to play becomes a coping tool, and by proxy a method of self<br />
medication through induced saturation of neurochemicals. If so, then it is no different<br />
than the use of alcohol or drugs to “numb the pain”, which often has harmful<br />
consequences to relationships, jobs, children, and a healthy balance in managing life.<br />
Closing<br />
Frenzy happens for many reasons, and while it is typically attributed to subs, it happens<br />
for Doms as well. It is, put simply, a desperate drive to have your needs satisfied. The<br />
implication is the mindless, reckless, and dangerous nature attributed to a frenzied state.<br />
The only cure is being Aware and using Self-Discipline: do not feed the beast within<br />
when you are in a state of frenzy, which is the exact opposite of what it’s driving you to<br />
do. Throwing caution to the wind is not the answer, and will not yield better outcomes.<br />
For subs – Frenzy can feel like being the proverbial kid in the candy shop. You want,<br />
want it now, and will play with people too soon, too often, too intensely, and often without<br />
drawing limits of your own. It’s highly important that a Dominant learn to recognize the<br />
signs of sub frenzy and be a responsible Dom by resisting the urge to take advantage of<br />
a submissive’s frenzy. When you see it, you need to take cautious control and pace the<br />
sub so as to prevent a potentially ugly scenario from culminating.<br />
For Doms – Frenzy can feel like the world is your oyster. You feel hungry, voracious, and<br />
can make or break any sub of your choosing, you are sin incarnate. You will give, and<br />
take, and take, and take – often without consideration to consequences, good<br />
preparation, or basic safety of both yours and their minds and bodies. It is highly<br />
important that a submissive learn to recognise the signs of Dom frenzy: reckless<br />
eagerness, arrogance, lack of communication or respect. If you see this, suggest<br />
perhaps getting to know someone quietly over coffee or tea and see if reason returns. If<br />
not, simply politely decline – how they feel about that and manage it is their problem, not<br />
yours.

Topping from the bottom<br />
Another round of the debate and still I think people are not<br />
inclined to dig right in and say what they think. Can I just<br />
say that at no time is anything in these debates<br />
judgemental. This is the whole point of creating a platform<br />
for open and lively talk.<br />
Say what you want in these sessions as long as you keep<br />
it respectful and on topic it will not be negatively received.<br />
However also be prepared to be challenged on your<br />
views. Be prepared for countering views and relish the<br />
chance to speak your mind.<br />
Evocative topic that<br />
inspires a multitude of<br />
opinion. Can we agree?.<br />
Is it a real phenomenon<br />
at all? by Sir Arithon<br />
Topping from the Bottom!<br />
To put this is some context we are talking about this<br />
subject from a D/s power exchange perspective and not<br />
what is often termed as Real Life BDSM play. the SL/RL<br />
debate will have to wait for another day but it should be<br />
noted that Tops and Bottoms when it comes to BDSM
play events tend to blur the lines a little and most of the terms we use in and around D/s<br />
Power exchange have entirely different meanings. It is not true to say that BDSM<br />
activities are better or worse than D/s ones but they are different. Interests in BDSM can<br />
and often do have nothing at all to do with D/s and D/s can have not one element of<br />
BDSM at all. So for the purpose of this debate the term “topping from the bottom” can be<br />
described perhaps by this simple definition.<br />
“Topping from the bottom suggests that the submissive is using manipulative behaviour<br />
to change the mind, action or direction of the dominant for their own objective”<br />
Firstly let me just say my view is this is ridiculous. I believe the term to be nothing but a<br />
smoke screen for weak Dominants who have not inspired full submission and struggle to<br />
maintain control and allows them to put the “fault” on the submissive. The notion that<br />
your submissive does not have the full power and ability to consent at every level of your<br />
dynamic is completely flawed. We did not have a lot of people at the debate and we did<br />
not have one contrary view so we can conclude that Topping from the Bottom does not<br />
exist.<br />
Another way of describing it would be to call it “bottoming from the top” Dominants you<br />
always get the behaviour you allow. Pure and simple. If you struggle in a relationship to<br />
get the behaviour you want then think about why? Did you think about the things you<br />
wanted and spend long enough discussing them with your submissive or submissives?<br />
Are your requirements reasonable and possible? Have you considered that you are just<br />
not a compatible set?<br />
Taking the time to understand each other and letting the submissive come to your way of<br />
their own choosing and even then build in a way they can easily express desires and<br />
speak freely seems to be a recipe worth considering. However if it doesn't work out then i<br />
don't think there should be anything wrong with parting ways with equal respect.<br />
So when you hear it declared that this or that submissive always “tops from the bottom” I<br />
think we can all indulge in a little eye rolling.<br />

It’s not easy to describe a<br />

someone who has never<br />

item in your wardrobe: Can<br />
you recall all the technical<br />
details, like a sweetheart<br />
neckline, a tiered skirt, a<br />

find a few words to recount<br />
the overall feeling of the<br />
garment? We can’t tell you<br />
how many hours we’ve<br />

This months subject is<br />
Frenzy. A new word to add<br />
to my English dictionary.<br />
(yes, I am not an English<br />
speaker, and I keep<br />
learning).<br />
Frenzy: a state or period of<br />
uncontrolled and excited<br />
behaviour or emotion that is<br />
sometimes violent.<br />
Something new in my list of<br />
BDSM related words!.<br />
Submissive and Frenzy are<br />
the words you find together<br />
most often when<br />
researching “Frenzy” in<br />
BDSM pages.<br />
When considering that<br />
Dominants are the ones who<br />
take care of control in our<br />
relationships, and frenzy is<br />
the lack of control, why do<br />
we speak about it as a<br />
submissive issue instead of<br />
something Dominants have<br />
to handle or battle?<br />
I always try to reflect in the<br />
pictures i have in my section<br />
the monthly subject, and<br />
talk a bit about it instead of<br />
just listing the fashion items.<br />
Recently I do feel pretty<br />
new, pretty naive, pretty<br />
little in the lifestyle and<br />
wondering how I dare to<br />
write about my opinions,<br />
experiences and thoughts in<br />
all things related to D/s.<br />
I often think “Dear”, speak<br />
about what you know in SL<br />
and focus just on fashion.<br />
When i feel this way,<br />
obviously I will not try to<br />
discuss about frenzies with<br />
a submissive or Dominant<br />
opinion.<br />
How could I?<br />
But if something has<br />
inspired me this time, it was<br />
this subject.<br />
Why should I not focus on<br />
the Dominant this time?<br />
And so I did.<br />
So, for this months outfit and<br />
look i started in my Master’s<br />
clothes and wardrobe. I then<br />
added my own outfit as the<br />
little spice to complete His.<br />
Also, focusing on Master, I<br />
found I wanted the pictures<br />
to reflect the steps in a<br />
submissive’s mind and body,<br />
the feelings that could have<br />
whipped her into a frenzy<br />
and the role her Master has<br />
to play. Controlling her and<br />
himself. And so, again, I am<br />
awed by the task we put into<br />
their hands.<br />

writing on health issues.
Kinky Kitchen<br />
Lets focus on women's nutrition this month as it has become a much asked topic at work.<br />
Everyday life is hectic which brings stresses from work, home and even Dominant's.<br />
A good nutritional diet helps you feel your best every single day. Just looking and<br />
searching on line provides thousands of different articles and opinions of what is best. It<br />
sends your head spinning as to what is and is not right.<br />
First off I am going to say that you and your own body knows whats best for you. What i<br />
am providing is common sense things. A good diet of fruits, veggies, whole grains with<br />
fat free or low fat dairy items combined with lean meats, Rabbit, poultry, beans, eggs and<br />
nuts is a nice way to keep that diet in check.<br />
Of course I have that occasional " I am vegetarian". It still<br />
applies with a good healthy diet that is key to your health.<br />
So is daily activities that help you body moving such as<br />
exercise.<br />
Amazing recipe’s by Sir<br />
Cheflew<br />
It is healthy to get up and move around, you could ask the Dominant to untie leash or<br />
ropes so you can go for a nice walk, jog or bike ride. If restraints are you particular kink<br />
that is!.<br />
Better yet ask your Dominant to take you for a walk in the park, and get in some<br />
wonderful alone time together, you never know what fun might happen along the way.<br />
This months Recipe's;<br />
Pereronata (Italian Vegetable dish)
2 pounds green and red bell peppers(yellow or other colours too), peeled, *(see note on<br />
how to do this)<br />
2 pounds tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)<br />
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
Freshly ground pepper.<br />
**(note)** To peel peppers, place on sheet pan and broil about 5 minutes or so until skins<br />
black. Put peppers in a plain paper bag for about 15 minutes then peel.<br />
In a heavy Skillet, melt butter with olive oil over a moderate heat. Add onions and cook<br />
them, turning frequently, for 10 minutes, or until they are soft and lightly browned. Stir in<br />
peppers. Reduce heat, cover and cook 10 min.<br />
Add tomatoes, vinegar, salt and a few grindings of fresh black pepper, cover and cook<br />
another 5 minutes. Then remove over and cook the vegetables uncovered over high<br />
heat, stirring gently, until almost all the liquid has boiled away. Serve the peperonata as<br />
a hot vegetable dish or you can also use as part of a antipasto or to go with cold roast<br />
meats.<br />
For easter special dish as this is a low fat meat.<br />
Rabbit stew<br />
Ingredients<br />
olive oil<br />
2 small wild rabbits , jointed (if using farmed rabbits, you<br />
might only need 1 as they tend to be larger)<br />
3 cloves of garlic<br />
12 small red onions<br />
½ tablespoon sweet paprika<br />
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
750 ml albariño wine<br />
1 x 250 - 300 g jar of roasted red peppers<br />
Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan or cast-iron casserole pan over a medium<br />
heat. Cook the rabbit pieces in batches for about 5 minutes, or until browned, stirring<br />
occasionally and adding more oil if needed.<br />
Peel and slice the garlic length ways, then peel and halve the onions.<br />
Remove the rabbit to a plate, then add the garlic and onion to the pan. Cook until<br />
softened, stirring occasionally.<br />
Add the paprika and rosemary leaves, season generously with sea salt and black pepper<br />
and stir well.<br />
Return the rabbit pieces to the pan, add the wine, cover and bring to the boil.<br />
Simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the rabbit is tender and the sauce has<br />
thickened.<br />
Drain the peppers and add to the pan for the final 15 minutes.<br />
If you like a thicker sauce, remove the rabbit pieces, then boil the sauce rapidly to<br />
reduce.<br />
If you wish, you can shred the meat, then return it to the stew. Serve with crusty bread to<br />
mop up the sauce.
Shivers down my spine…
The Party<br />
The Party (part one)<br />
Two part drama<br />
by Kacey Raines<br />
I greeted him, when he arrived, and there was a very long pause as his eyes explored me,<br />
in my new dress. The dress he choose for the evening had thin straps holding what was<br />
there of the top in place. It did cover my nipples, barely, but it was cut low enough to show<br />
off my belly button, and hung to just above where the stockings started showing a touch of<br />
bare skin. The back was very low as well, coming down to near where the small thong<br />
ended, however unlike the front it trailed down to mid-calf.<br />
He still did not speak but took my hand spinning me to see the back, keeping me there a<br />
few moments before pulling me into his arms, finally speaking “Good god woman, when I<br />
said that you’d be stunning I was apparently mistaken, that is a very large understatement,<br />
and while you are stunning without it I have to say you look very good in make up as well,<br />
I particularly love the dark red on your lips.” He pulled me in kissing me deeply, touching<br />
me softly as he did. He looked very good as well, dressed in a fairly formal black suit, with<br />
a dark red vest and tie. When he pulled away from my lips looking in to my eyes I spoke<br />
“You Sir clean up quite nicely yourself.” He laughed softly, “I’m very glad you think so little<br />
one, and I may have been mistaken again, while, you will be the envy of every woman that<br />
see’s you, I suspect that I will be the envy of every man that sees me as well.”
I blushed softly, and he smiled trailing his fingers softly over my pink cheeks. He took my<br />
hand leading me to the car, and helping me in as always. I still had no idea our plans,<br />
and I was quite curious as we drove out of town.<br />
We arrived at a very large house, after about 45 minutes, and he gave me a little wink as<br />
he parked. “Visiting friends Sir?” I asked. “A party little one.” “oh, fantastic Sir, because<br />
I’ve never actually attended a party, and am very good at socialising.” I giggled softly<br />
and he smiled, “you little one will be fantastic, you may stay as quiet with others as you<br />
please, stay close to me, and follow my lead.” He brushed his fingers against my cheek,<br />
speaking again. “Now little one, this is not a typical party, there are going to be events<br />
happening all over the room. We will not be joining any of these events although if<br />
you’re comfortable enough, and trust me, we may have our own.” “As you have<br />
questions, please feel free to ask, but I’ll be watching you very closely, and try and<br />
answer things as you see them.” I was a bit more nervous now, and confused as well,<br />
he noticed. “You’ll be great little one, just be your amazing self.” I tried to smile and<br />
replied “Yes Sir.” He leaned over kissing my cheek softly, then came around helping me<br />
from the car. We knocked at the door at 8:00pm promptly.<br />
We were greeted by a gentleman, and woman, the man stepping forward first taking Sir’s<br />
hand firmly. I stayed slightly behind Sir, waiting quietly. “Zachary, what a pleasant<br />
surprise, you have not attended one of our gatherings in quite some time.” Sir smiled<br />
shaking his hand. “Yes, I was in hiding a bit I suppose you could say, but it’s good to be<br />
out.” The woman came forward next, wrapping her arms around Sir giving him a warm<br />
hug. He leaned down kissing her cheek, “Vivian you are as beautiful as ever, it’s a<br />
pleasure to see you.” She smiled looking at me now “Speaking of beautiful Zachary, who<br />
is this lovely woman hiding behind you?” Sir took my hand leading me to his side.<br />
“Vivian, and William I’d very much like you to meet, Kacey, an amazing woman, that I’ve<br />
recently met.” William took my hand shaking it firmly as he had Sir’s, And Vivian,<br />
wrapped her arms around me hugging me tight. I was not accustomed to people<br />
hugging me, let alone people I did not know but I returned her hug smiling, “A pleasure to<br />
meet you both.” I spoke softly, trying to move back behind Sir by a step but he did not<br />
allow it, he held me firmly at his side.<br />
He turned me in his arms, pulling my back to his<br />
chest, and wrapping his arm around my waist, facing<br />
me towards the happenings in the room, which I had<br />
been trying to avoid. He chuckled, as I sighed.
Several people looked us over as we were led to what I think would normally be a very<br />
large ballroom. For the evenings events, however, various furniture had been arranged<br />
around the large room.<br />
The first thing that caught my eye was a very large bed, which I suspect was actually<br />
several beds arranged together, in the middle of the room. Out from there a large<br />
assortment of, chaise lounges, sofa’s, beds, oversized chairs, and floor cushions were<br />
arranged. William spoke as we neared the centre of the room, and the very large bed.<br />
“Please enjoy your evening, and if you need anything please let us know.” Sir shook his<br />
hand again, “Thank you William, I’m sure we’ll enjoy the event very much.” With that the<br />
two of them took hands and wandered off.<br />
As we started to step further in to the room, a gentleman in a very nice suit walked past,<br />
followed by a woman, in only heels, and what appeared to be a necklace with a small<br />
chain attached to it, leading to the man’s hand. Sir smiled at me as my grip on his hand<br />
became very tight and I froze in my tracks. “yes, little one, she was on a leash, I have<br />
actually brought one for you if you’re interested, at a party such as this, it would signify<br />
that you are taken, and you may not be touched without the express consent of the<br />
person holding the lead.” I replied very quickly “Oh, I think I would like to wear one very<br />
much Sir.” He chuckled pulling a delicate leather choker from his pocket, with a small<br />
heart on the front, and a thin metal chain already attached to it. He fastened it around<br />
my neck, slipping the leather lead over his fingers and then taking my hand, moving us<br />
slowly through the room, once more.<br />
The party was already in full effect in some areas of the room. We walked past several<br />
couples in various stages of undressing and playing. My face was quite red I’m sure as<br />
we walked past a large gentleman, with a woman bent over a table, his hands on her<br />
hips thrusting behind her. Sir caught glimpse of my red cheeks, stopping just past the<br />
couple, “Should we stop and observe little one.” I cringed a little “Perhaps later Sir,” I<br />
replied receiving a soft chuckle in return as we started moving again. We moved to the<br />
back of the room finding a small area of dance floor that was reserved for actual dancing,<br />
and Sir wrapped me up in his arms pulling me in close, his hips starting to sway softly to<br />
the music. I followed his lead wrapping an arm tight around him, pressing to him tight. I<br />
could feel his erection, as we held each other moving slowly.
He didn’t speak for a bit, just watched me glancing around the room, chuckling each time<br />
I gasped a little moving my eyes quicker to a new area of the room, my cheeks a solid<br />
red, with no sign of calming. The leash was quite interesting to me, I slipped my hand up<br />
brushing softly against the thin leather, enjoying the chain as it brushed against my bare<br />
skin. He of course noticed because he notices every little thing. “What are you thinking<br />
little one?” He asked, waiting patiently as I tried to sort out exactly what I was thinking<br />
and respond. “You’ll not laugh at me Sir?” I asked, “no little one I will not laugh at you.”<br />
He leaned in kissing my cheek ever patient as I continued gathering my thoughts. “I<br />
think I like it Sir, I like how it feels against my skin, and I very much like that it means I’m<br />
yours. And this surprises me just a bit, but I feel like I’m yours in more than just a your<br />
date sort of way, but more that I’m your property, Sir which I’m also enjoying very much,<br />
although I’m not certain as to why.” I cringed a little waiting for the laugh or teasing but it<br />
did not come, instead his lips did, taking mine eagerly, kissing me very deeply his arm<br />
around me pulling me in even tighter as he enjoyed my tongue and mouth. I purred<br />
softly against his lips, my tongue playing with his, teasing it, as I slid my hand up and<br />
down his back, pressing in softly.<br />
His tongue started moving a bit quicker, mine followed, my head tilting a bit more to the<br />
side as his hand came up brushing fingertips against my neck softly, his other arm still<br />
tight around me, his thick shaft pressing to me tight. When he pulled away from my lips<br />
he was smiling very wide.<br />
He turned me in his arms, pulling my back to his chest, and wrapping his arm around my<br />
waist, facing me towards the happenings in the room, which I had been trying to avoid.<br />
He chuckled, as I sighed, pushing my ass to his cock tightly, wiggling just a bit to tease<br />
him, receiving a deep growl in my ear as a reply. I placed my hands firmly on his hips, as<br />
we rocked to the music still, and felt his lips pressing softly against my neck, kissing<br />
slowly down to my shoulder. “Sir will we be playing at this party this evening?” I asked<br />
very directly. I felt his lips turn up in a smile against my skin, “I would like to little one, if<br />
you can trust me to take care of you, and feel safe.” I paused but only for a moment, “I<br />
can Sir, and will we be playing with others this evening?” I asked also quite directly. I<br />
had seen couples joining others now and the large bed in the center of the room was<br />
filled to near it’s limit I think, bodies tangling together in every direction, causing a small<br />
ache in me each time I glanced that direction. “No little one, we will not, you are mine for<br />
the evening at the very least, and I’m not prepared to share you just yet.” That caused<br />
me to shiver hard against him, part in excitement, and part a nervous reaction. He<br />
twitched against me as he held me tight to him enjoying my soft shiver.<br />
He leaned his mouth very close to my ear now, whispering “relax little one, let yourself<br />
enjoy the night, and remember your word, you do not have to yell it, I’ll be listening but if<br />
you’re are uncomfortable to the point that I need to stop at any moment use it.” I took a
We continued to dance in that fashion, my ass and back tight to his waist and chest. He<br />
slid a hand up my waist, and over my breast, finding the thin little strap, slipping his hand<br />
under it, pulling it gently to the side, his fingers between my dress and skin, moving<br />
slowly down my breast and waist, pulling the thin fabric to the side as he moved,<br />
exposing my breast to the room. He did the same to the other side now, looking down<br />
over my shoulder as the second came free, a soft smile on his lips and another twitch<br />
running through his shaft against me. He left them bare a few moments, perhaps letting<br />
me get use to the idea, we received considerably more glances now than we had earlier<br />
in the evening, my face may remain red for the rest of the night. He slipped a hand back<br />
up giving my breast a soft squeeze, and starting to play with it gently as we danced. “I<br />
love you little one, how are you doing?” he whispered softly in my ear. “I’m very well Sir<br />
thank you.” I turned my head a bit kissing his cheek softly.<br />
A gentleman approached us, standing a bit closer than I would have preferred, “Zachary<br />
how good to see you out.” “Scott, how are you?” Sir asked, his fingertips toying with my<br />
nipple as they spoke. He made no apologies, nor did he stop or try to cover me in any<br />
fashion. “I’m very well, we’ve missed you at these events you know.” “I’ve missed<br />
coming, but I was waiting to meet the right person to join me.” He looked down at me as<br />
he said it smiling bright. “You know Zachary any of the singles would have been more<br />
than happy to join you for the evening.” “Perhaps,” Sir said softly, “I however prefer to<br />
arrive accompanied.” The gentleman looked me over now smiling back at Sir “I can see<br />
why, an excellent choice.” “Yes, she is quite amazing.” Sir said pulling me in a bit tighter<br />
to him, kissing along my neck once more. Scott excused himself, and Sir leaned close to<br />
my ear once more, whispering “You know little one, you make it very good to be me.” I<br />
giggled softly, but Sir put an end to that quickly nipping my neck, causing a half squeak<br />
half moan to escape me. I kept my hands on his hips as he enjoyed my breast,<br />
savouring each little twist and pinch and soft squeeze. Our hips still moving softly<br />
together to the music, a few more people came up and spoke with Sir, and some with me<br />
as well.<br />
He turned me in his arms once more, looking me in the eye as he leaned down kissing<br />
me deeply, hungrily, his mouth tight to mine as our tongues danced a s mall dance of<br />
their own, my hands wrapping around his waist holding him tightly. He grinned as he<br />
pulled away from my lips, moving his hands to my hair, slowly removing the bobby pins,<br />
slipping them into his pocket. My hair fell down over my shoulders and down my back.<br />
“Little one I do believe it’s time we found someplace a bit more comfortable.” He spoke<br />
softly, taking my hand once more leading me towards the centre of the room. I<br />
attempted to pull my dress back into place, however that attempt was quickly countered,<br />
his hands coming up to mine, his head shaking softly no “I’m quite enjoying that dress<br />
the way it is little one.” I put my hands back to my side and he held one softly as we<br />
started to move again. There went the hopes of hiding in a dark corner, at least I was<br />
pretty sure we would not be joining the large group on the bed in the very middle of the<br />
room.
He found a very nice chaise lounge near the centre of the room, sitting with his back<br />
against the arm, his left leg stretched out along the back and his right foot still firmly on<br />
the floor. He turned me till my ass was facing him, lifted the back of my skirt holding it up<br />
against my waist as he pulled me back onto his lap. He placed my left leg on the other<br />
side of his, and then placed my right leg over his, his right thigh pressing against mine<br />
opening my legs wider still. My little white thong now as exposed as my breast. I placed<br />
my head against his shoulder, and my hands on his thighs, whimpering softly as his<br />
hands started to explore me.<br />
His right hand found my breast once more, squeezing it tightly, his left trailed down my<br />
waist, working its way between my wide-open legs. Brushing very softly over the thin<br />
fabric, gently teasing me as he started kissing along my neck and shoulder once more. I<br />
shivered against him, as he played, and I heard a soft groan escape him. Now that we<br />
were not hiding in the back of the room on the dance floor, I became aware that there<br />
were several people watching us, and several more came up to speak to Sir as he<br />
enjoyed teasing me thoroughly. Nerves overtook me a couple of times as he chatted<br />
with friends, and I found myself trying to close my legs, he grinned each time whispering<br />
in my ear, “be still little one, let the others enjoy the site of you.”<br />
A very beautiful woman approached us now, she smiled at Sir, but I’m not sure she<br />
meant it, there was something else there. “Zachary, how delightful to see you.” “Ruby a<br />
pleasure as always” Sir replied as he moved his fingertips up the fabric of my small<br />
thong, slipping them now inside it instead. I squirmed in his lap gasping softly. She<br />
looked down at me now, that was not a friendly look either. She eyed me quite carefully,<br />
as she started to speak once more. “it’s nice to see you have time away from work,<br />
you’re usually so very busy, it’s hard to even get you on the phone.” He leaned in kissing<br />
along my neck before replying. “Yes, sometimes I can be quite busy, although I’m finding<br />
a bit more time to relax these days.” He smiled at her, and it was not exactly a pleasant<br />
smile, however it was very polite. “So, it would seem,” she said her tone now matching<br />
her smile, “I hope you enjoy your evening Zachary.” He smiled a very nice smile, and<br />
then looked in to my eyes before answering “I’m very sure I will, thank you Ruby.” With<br />
that she was gone, and I couldn’t help but giggle softly, whispering “I do not think she<br />
cares for me much Sir.” He chuckled a little “That is quite possible little one, but it does<br />
not matter in the slightest, as I care for you very much.<br />
I gasped a little as his fingers found their way deep<br />
inside me, my back arching against his chest.
His fingers slipped between my petals, as he took my lips, muffling my moan with his<br />
tongue. I was suddenly very aware of the fact that he fully intended to make me cum,<br />
just like this my face towards the crowd and not him, my legs pried very wide open, and<br />
held there very firmly, and my breast fully exposed as well. My face turned very red now<br />
and he smiled “what was that thought little one?” he asked playfully, his fingers now<br />
slipping over my clit, causing me to jump slightly in his lap, and then back down to my<br />
tight little ring where he slipped them deep inside me, spreading them wide, massaging<br />
my walls. I gasped a little as his fingers found their way deep inside me, my back<br />
arching against his chest. “little one?” he asked again, oh he expected a reply, fabulous.<br />
“It was more a realisation Sir, than an actual thought I think.” “Oh, I see little one, would<br />
it perhaps be the image of what I intend to do to you tonight?” He smiled very wide,<br />
sliding his fingers from me, back up to my clit and over it, and then back deep inside me<br />
very quickly. “Oh, god Sir,” I whimpered, louder than I had intended catching the eye of<br />
several more onlookers now. Sir’s fingers were moving quickly now, caressing my slit,<br />
dipping inside of me, toying with my clit.<br />
I squirmed uncontrollably in his lap, and he smiled brightly as he watched, his other hand<br />
still firmly on my breast. Oh Jesus, another woman was approaching and I was not sure<br />
how long I could hold off before climaxing very loudly. This one was quite different than<br />
the last, she was watching me very closely. “Zachary, where on earth did you find this<br />
delightful little treat?” She did not look at Sir but continued to watch me writhe against<br />
him, I whimpered loudly as his fingers slid in deep, quickly, pushing in as far as they<br />
could, my back arching against him. “Hello Samantha, a pleasure to see you, she is<br />
quite lovely, isn’t she?” he asked her, his fingers not slowing.<br />
My back arched hard against his chest once more, my head pressing back to his<br />
shoulder, panting softly. “She is indeed, and she seems to be enjoying you very much, I<br />
love when a woman squirms for me, and what amazing noises too, you lucky bastard.”<br />
Sir chuckled softly shoving his fingers back in deep my body jerking in his arms, I<br />
pressed my hips up hard against his hand now, and he slipped his fingers from me up to<br />
my clit massaging it roughly. “Indeed, he said, although it’s not all luck, I do go after what<br />
I desire very hard.”<br />
He leaned in biting down softly on my neck as my body tightened in his arms, quivering<br />
in his tight grasp, his fingers still massaging, as I wailed loudly, a large part of the room<br />
looking over now. “Yes, you do play to win, so Zachary does your little treat enjoy<br />
women as well?” He slid his fingers back down pushing them deep between my<br />
spasming walls, “Oh God SIR!” I cried out, the woman’s eyes still on me intently. “You<br />
know Samantha I’m not certain, we have not had that discussion yet, although she does,<br />
very much, enjoy her taste against my lips.” He wiggled his fingers inside me, my body<br />
jerking hard against him, more pants and noises escaping me. I had managed most of<br />
my climax with just pink cheeks, however the last comment sent the blood rushing<br />
through them making them bright red once more.
His fingers slipped back to my clit, causing a whole new wave of sensations to wash over<br />
me, “OH FUCK SIR!” Samantha smiled very bright as she watched me. “Well Zachary if<br />
you discover that she does, please look me up, I’d even break my standard rules and<br />
play with you as well, for the chance to slide between your lovelies, legs.” “Samantha<br />
the image of you between her legs is quite tempting, even without the offer to let me join.<br />
I will keep your offer under consideration.” He finally held his fingers still, I still squirmed<br />
hard in his arms, my body trembling.<br />
“Thank you, Zachary, I appreciate that, and how long can you keep her going? Just out<br />
of curiosity of course.” My body finally started to calm in his arms my head now resting<br />
against him, my breath slowing. “I keep testing it adding a bit more each time, I suspect<br />
for quite a long while though.” She smiled very big again, her eyes still on me “That is<br />
very intriguing you know” She finally looked at Sir, giving him a soft smile “I do, I’m very<br />
interested in testing it further.” “Lucky bastard” she said again, giving him a wink and<br />
wandering off into the crowd.<br />
Catch Part 2 of this<br />
amazing piece of erotica<br />
in next month’s edition.
Simply online….<br />
As I'm French, I had to check the definition of "frenzy"... I picked that one:<br />
fren·zy (frĕn′zē)<br />
n. pl. fren·zies<br />
1. A state of violent mental agitation or wild excitement.<br />
2. Temporary madness or delirium.<br />
3. A mania; a craze.<br />
It appears to me as a pretty extreme emotional state. At the same time, when translated<br />
into D/s and into SL, I could start picturing myself in some situations and I have to admit I<br />
can relate!<br />
Why SL over RL? I don't know if that definition is the right one, but in my own case... I<br />
think I have RL boundaries that keep my emotional fits leashed enough to have a certain<br />
control over them. That doesn't mean that, in RL, I don't scream or never lose patience<br />
or control over words I regret after, but I don't think I ever went into a frenzy state in RL.<br />
As many, I use SL to explore my submissive side,<br />
because RL decided otherwise and I am more on the<br />
Dominant side. I've had a bit of RL experiences, but they<br />
were limited in time and more "bubbles where the time<br />
stopped RL" than a real "lifestyle".<br />

those of the lifestyle<br />

Second life or other<br />
online platforms. How<br />
you might manage<br />
relationships in these<br />
spaces
So... When I say I use SL to explore, I'd better say that year after year on SL, I built a<br />
balance between two sides of myself: the happy one in RL, but with many<br />
responsibilities, including emotional ones and the more fragile one on SL, who shows a<br />
personal side that is mostly unknown RL: the submissive.<br />
I accepted a long time ago that this second side of me is very emotional on SL. Why?<br />
Because she doesn't keep her emotions on a leash like the RL one and on the contrary,<br />
she lives them fully. She gives a lot of herself and is also extremely needy. She trusts<br />
more, she displays her needs and emotions openly, but also needs attention and<br />
understanding at a point where, when she feels betrayed... she can become frenzy.... I<br />
can become frenzy.<br />
I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets sometimes involved in a crazy fight, loses all her<br />
nerves, ends crying RL, feels hurt and when her RL day is coming, she thinks to herself<br />
"How is it possible that it affects me so much, when in RL, I'd have solved it in a few<br />
minutes and would be serene, when my heart is still beating fast at the thought of this SL<br />
battle and I just feel hurt?!"<br />
I do think that, for me, being frenzy at times and desperately looking for soothing words<br />
after, is connected to the amount of emotions I free when being this submissive part of<br />
myself on SL. I sometimes feel like a child, looking to trust blindly, looking for authority<br />
but also understanding and indulgence. It can disturb me at some points, because I, a<br />
grown up woman, who leads her RL easily, who appears often as a rock, feel like a child<br />
having a tantrum and looks so much for a mix of dominance and benevolence, that at<br />
times, her ways of being frenzy even lead her to hurt herself. I mean, no, I won't<br />
physically hurt myself (except for finishing that bottle of wine, as a revenge against my<br />
stupidity :) ), but at times, I took decisions on SL that I knew would hurt me, like<br />
unfriending everyone, or locking myself in a cage for days...<br />
There is a notion of violence in that frenzy definition. Violence toward others, in words<br />
and actions, but also toward myself. Like I'm punishing myself for being needy and<br />
emotional.<br />
This is where the way Dominants behave is crucial. I can only talk about myself, but if we<br />
assume that what I described before is being frenzy, I've met wonderful people who<br />
helped and solved the crisis fast and others who aggravated the situation, voluntarily or<br />
not. And except for the rare ones who seem to take pleasure in hurting others, I'd say<br />
most of the time, it is because it's just hard to understand a submissive who enters a<br />
crazy spiral of negative emotions and actions.
So, what works with me?<br />
At the moment it happens? Nothing, I'm afraid. And the most important is simply to... stop<br />
me from talking. And I know it's super dangerous, as I suffer verbal diarrhoea when I feel<br />
bad. So... there is a command on my collar that stops IM’s, chat, TPs... Basically, the<br />
idea is to stop me. And I know how difficult it is for a Dominant to take that responsibility.<br />
But with a short message saying "I know you feel bad. We'll talk about it tomorrow. You're<br />
not alone."... I swear that for me, it's the most efficient.<br />
Now, the aftermath....<br />
I do really think that my frenzy moments happen when I feel misunderstood, insecure,<br />
little... Little as a childish thing, but also little as a feeling that everything is too high to<br />
reach. That means I just pity myself.<br />
That means the aftermath is often crucial, as I need dominance, but also security. It's a<br />
balance to find again. Now... The terrible moment has passed. So... The roots should be<br />
treated at a point. Thing is... even in a D/s relationship, these crisis are so painful that I<br />
don't think "punishment" is in order. That doesn't mean it should be simply forgotten. But<br />
a discussion on the problem, eventually asking a notecard explaining my feelings,<br />
pushing me to apologise if others were involved, or at least to try to explain... I think it<br />
works better. Why? Because I think frenzy moments are caused by pain, fears,<br />
flashbacks of situations, deep wounds. These negative feelings can hit even the most<br />
balanced people and when on SL, where we have less of the filters I mentioned at the<br />
beginning, they can be extremely violent, but also can be reversed into a strengthening<br />
of bonds, trust and... submission.<br />
That's only my view, of course, as it is my experience.<br />

Liberty & Restraint in-world review<br />
This month I went off to see<br />
what Eronyx Fashion store<br />
was all about. So sporting my<br />
best casuals and a note pad<br />
and pen I headed over there<br />
to take a look at the evocative<br />
designs for myself.<br />
Second life doesn’t often offer<br />
a lot in the way of men’s<br />
clothes so at once I was<br />
pleased to see over 80 items<br />
in great designs form tops to<br />
jeans all at a price that wont<br />
break open the piggy too<br />
much. Plenty of demo’s<br />
available too so good options<br />
to try before you buy<br />
especially if you have a<br />
complex avatar body.<br />
100 Mesh though so I<br />
didn’t encounter any<br />
problems. Personally,<br />
though guys the online<br />
shop provided me with all<br />
the access I needed so if<br />
you would rather stay in<br />
and buy that’s an excellent<br />
option with this store.<br />
Ladies won’t be<br />
disappointed either with a<br />
good number on display in<br />
store and a fair few on<br />
offer giving a hud for up to<br />
18 changes for what I think<br />
are very reasonable<br />
prices. Designs too are<br />
definitely unique so I<br />
would recommend taking a<br />
look at the online store<br />
and trying some of the<br />
Demos.<br />
If you do want to stroll<br />
down there you will arrive<br />
in a beautiful location by<br />
the water in a naturally<br />
autumnal glade. Plenty of<br />
new display booths have<br />
been erected to I suspect<br />
we will see some<br />
expanded stocks soon.<br />
Plus info boards for the<br />
next events as well as<br />
group joiner information<br />
and their workshop.<br />
All in all I have to say I am<br />
super impressed with this<br />
fashion house and for a<br />
complete techno noob like<br />
me you have to love<br />
clothes that look great and<br />
don’t need to much fiddling<br />
about.<br />
Overview.<br />
Thoroughly recommend you<br />
try out the store. Everything is<br />
online and the price is super<br />
friendly.<br />
