[...] to block even a hearing was over-ruled by both the BC Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. Master Stoltz has previously commented on the case here. I highly recommend the Apr 9, 2009 article by Natasha Barsotti on the Internet news producer [...]

And more good news on BDSM ; take a look at http://www.asylum.com/2008/08/25/bondage-lovers-happier-less-anxious/ on the Journal of Sexual Medicine ‘s article on an Australian public health study which found that “people who participate in bondage and dominance/submission play may be happier and less anxious than those with more conventional sexual tastes.” The study which involved 20,000 found that BDSM practitioners scored “significantly lower on a scale of mental distress…”

Another piece of news caught my eye today, highlighting that some people of limited comfort with eroticism are VERY comfortable restricting the environment for all of us: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1046073/Nude-self-portrait-banned-art-exhibition-artists-nipples-erect.html

Cannot young children be protected (as i do believe they should be) without creating a G-rated world for all of us? Would not a sign saying “Some Mature Content” be enough to let parents care for their children, rather than utter censorship? … We in SL are familiar that puritanical fascists do love to make the rules of what our worlds can be and i flash my bootie in their general direction…

Well, As per usual I agree with my Master, I think the Mistress come Teacher is actually a good combination… she must be smart enough not to mix sex with school. her controlling traits, are a big bonus i think.
Us Mere BDSMer’s use school, training experiences all the time..
However It seems that people in BDSM are VERY VERY much more open minded than “vanilla’s”
Something I think comes with our training for both Dom’s and Sub’s

The first story, well yes laughable but deadly frustrating. I just cannot figure out some peoples way of thinking,
I was going to make the statement, “why on earth would someone’s sexuality preferences affect their work” however the moment I typed that out, i thought of someone outside the BDSM experience answering that, and I think they’d say “well what about … people who like young children” that effects where they should work and SO IT SHOULD!
Now I know these are very different circumstances and not associated but at the same time i’m hoping that i’m saying enough to be clear, if you say it for one person then you can possible say it to another,…
for instance Paedaphile – no where near children, and not one positive thing can be said about them!?
Dominant – Would they take it too far? would they lash out take the control too much one way would they get turned on while teaching? – how ever i can come up with many positive things from this, but then i’m biased

Ok just to be EXTRA clear, I am NOT defending the rediculous decisions people make just becuase they don’t understand us lifestylers,
I think i’m trying to keep an open mind and see all the sides, rather than be ONE sided or blind like these other people are!
