Have things really changed?

On July 23, 2011 By Stoltz Sinatra

Is Being a Dominant an Illness?

On June 1, 2011 By Stoltz Sinatra

You’ve probably seen it before, the old argument that says “If you are kinky, then that is a product of some sort of trauma”. You’ve probably also seen that being a masochist is an expression of a self destructive behaviour.

It’s been a couple of hectic weeks back here in Sweden and one reason is that I’m basically outing myself on a national scale. My first thought around this a while ago was that if I’m going to out myself, why not do it in a big way?

Jay Wiseman on Breath Play: A Closing Argument

On July 7, 2010 By Stoltz Sinatra

Jay Wiseman, author of “SM101 – A Realistic Introduction” and BDSM educator, created a lot of debate around his opinions regarding Breath Play. A lot of his argumentation was, and still is, based on his medical skills, which is something not everyone within the BDSM community has acquired.

I agree with Jay Wiseman on this, [...]

On May 17, 2010 By Stoltz Sinatra

We spent yesterday afternoon watching a BDSM movie named “The Pet” and my impression is that it’s a movie with a split personality. To some small extent it’s a peep-hole into some of the dynamics in TPE as well as Pet play. On the other hand it also seems like an ambush where [...]
