There have been some unintended consequences of late. For example, an offhand comment at a meet & greet led to the creation of the Rope Clans, to much furor and uproar and uncomfortable-ness (there was also a lot of joy, enthusiasm, and happiness, but those voices were drowned out by the Words of the Wronged).[…]
Franklin Veaux wrote, as usual, a thoughtful and erudite post. I mostly agree with most of it, and I’m eagerly looking forward to part 2 to hear how he expands on his ideas about Safe, Sane, and Consensual vs. Risk-Aware Consensual Kink. You’d be well advised to read his post before reading this for some[…]

She was dressed in a lovely green cocktail dress, shimmering various shades of emerald and offset by adorable[…]
Recently I was honored to be invited back to the Bondage Capital of the World, Madison, WI to teach a workshop on kink to the Sex Out Loud staff and pulling out practices. This is a group of peer-educators who make sex education their business, and damn if they aren’t an impressive bunch. They listened[…]

Graydancer’s Ropetastic Unconference Extravaganza A GRUE is an un-conference – a gathering that is participant driven and self-organizing. Rather than impose an outside agenda on the attendees, the schedule is generated through a fast-moving group exercise facilitated by Gray.
