What’s the sexiest kind of Mess

Boot Worshippers tend to be attracted to dirt and filth more than most of their kinksters, so my question for you is what’s the sexiest kind of dirty to be made to clean off a partners boots? It can be a substance (eg dust), a location (eg bar dirt) or ‘Unknown’

Which line did they say?

The hardest breakup

Wasn’t the one that ended in screaming. Wasn’t the one where they tried to turn my friends against me. Didn’t come with fights, with spite or with recrimination. It came when the love of my life told me she was gay and couldn’t love me anymore. She never cheated, she was never unsupportive or unloving. She was the same beautiful, fun, funny, kindhearted amazing woman on the day we parted a...

Why wasn’t getting Feech sent back to the Big House ratting?

So the code of Omertà is so strong that you can’t even admit that the Mafia exists in court without being seen as a rat. Helping the police in any way against another made man would be seen as ratting, so my question is, when Tony got Feech pinched by his parole officer and sent back to the nick, why wasn’t it snitching?

Compatibility vs worth

Something that kinda grinds my gears in online D/s culture is that when a Domme struggles to find a submissive it is discussed as an issue of compatibility, whereas when a sub fails to find a dominant, it is discussed as an issue of worth. Has anyone else noticed this discrepancy, or is it just me?

Process Order question

I have a project I’m working on which requires strips of leather to be cut, dyed, sealed and then stiffened into shape. I’m worried that the process for stiffening the shape (soaking then heating in the oven) will be detrimental to the dye and seal, but if I can avoid it, I’d rather not dye on the shape straps as they’re an awkward shape and I know they’ll drip. And advice would be great...

After the Party - exploring drop

The first time I learned that drop didn’t always feel the same was my first scene after a breakup. The relationship I had been in was long term, loving and supportive. We had done degradation play, and I’d never experienced drop from it because in my mind, it was easy to tell that it wasn’t ‘real’. The first time afterward though, it absolutely killed me because my certainty that I wasn�...

How to be a better sub in the community.

Something that’s been on my mind a lot is that a lot of advice given to subs is how they can be a better servant to their dominant, but there’s little advice for how to be better members of the community. It’s something I’ve noticed especially among male subs, who can be quite isolated and easily exploited by unethical dommes. The thought came to mind when I saw some Domme or other asking ...

Taking Back an Ex

Hello! Have any of you ever taken back an ex dom/me? How did it go? A former Domme (38f) and I (35m) recently started talking again after our breakup in January. At first it was just “I miss you” type chat. Then eventually, we went for dinner, then after a few weeks, she asked if we could play again. I said yes. Our dynamic had rocky patches, but none of those were ever play related, she was a...

Halo Effect and BDSM

The Halo effect is where people assume that excellence in one field equates to excellence in other unrelated fields: this is most commonly used example of this is that beautiful people are often assumed to be good people. It’s something I’ve noticed in kink too: because kink is so tied to attraction, there’s often an assumption that more attractive partners are better submissives, better dom...

Cuckolding

Hello- I was wondering how GFD might blend with cuckolding, or are they too opposite to work?

Does anyone have any really badly dirty boots?

Ones that would take hours to kick clean and maybe even get a sub sick?

Too fat for chastity

I thought I’d try locktober this year. Found a friend who’d be willing to be my key holder. Ordered a cage- couldn’t get the back loop over my balls. Ordered another with a multi-part assembly and an open ring at the back, same story. Because I’m fat, there’s not a lot of loose space behind my balls, and it makes fiddling with an area I can’t really see difficult, and even once all the...

A vent - my old domme’s new sub

I see your stories on Instagram, I see the way you take them on trips, and on dates, all the fun times and all the little gifts. I’m glad you’re happy and I wish you the best with them. I can never tell you this because I don’t want to be seen as bitter, I don’t want to actually hurt you but seeing this hurts me. It hurts the part of me that knows that, while you would take them across the...

Self-Affirmations for solo subs

I had these for a bigger writing on fetlife: do they make sense to those of you who are subs and solo? 1. You have value beyond your utility 2. Nobody else defines the terms of your submission 3. there is nobody you can’t say no to. 4. not everything is someone’s fault. 3. You are no less valued for being ‘unowned’ 4. its ok to be sad 5. its ok to doubt 6. be kind and demand kindness 7. ho...

What are some names for kink in your language (and what do they translate to in English)

I’m writing a pub quiz as a fundraiser for a local kink group and want to have a round on kink terms from around the world! So I’m asking you, kinky Reddit hive mind. What are some good (non-English) kink terms that you know?

Darwinian Servitude

So. I’m (35m) starting to open myself up to the idea of another service dynamic. However, I find the vibe/ethos of Femdom in online spaces somewhat dispiriting. For context, this is not an observation about kink in general. Kink has been good to me, I’ve lots of friends in the local scene, I attend parties and I play with some really great people. But I miss the intensity and the feelings of b...

Carefree is gone!

One of my favourite murals has been torn down, *Carefree* on the Newtownards Road, and I’m a bit gutted by it. It was the one of the smiling hippy woman just dandering about. It always cheered me up to see it and the place is poorer for its loss, especially because it felt so wholesome around all the juvenile power fantasy/lamppost pissing ones, but it never felt twee or forced like some of the ...

Comber

Why is Comber pronounced Cumburr? Thon Wikipedia says its etymology is Gaeilge, but there’s no ‘B’ even in the word what it’s derived from.

Effort and attention

Something has been playing on my mind since the breakup of my first and only dynamic and I was wondering if any of you had anything to add to it. I feel like, for the vast majority of our dynamic, I put in most of the effort, physically, emotionally and financially. I spent a lot of time thinking up ways to spoil her and treat her, learning new things about her and learning new skills to be of bet...

Liberation from masculinity

Something I enjoy about Femdom, but in particular the more gentle strain is hard to articulate, but it might be called ‘liberation from masculinity’. FWIW, I’m a cis male sub, and I’m 34. For a dominant in this style of dynamic, liberation from masculinity might mean freedom to act in her own interest, to centre her own pleasure away from the male gaze. To be unapologetically demanding and...

Hiking Boots

I’d love to see some of you in dirty hiking boots, the treads all crusted with mud and filth. I’d pay to see this if anyone is interested

Sub m and Mental health

What do you consider to be the most difficult part of being a submissive guy for your mental health, and how do you get around it or work through this? The reason I ask is that I recently saw a writing on Fet by a Domme on the difficulties of being a male sub, and while I feel that it was accurate in its broadest sense, it didn’t really capture how alienating and lonely the experience can be.

Feeling like an asshole for saying no

So: I’m (34m) in a dynamic with my Domme (36f). It’s not a romantic dynamic, and she has a primary partner in her wife. Our dynamic encorporates occasional play and a more ongoing service/finsub thing. I enjoy both parts. Yesterday we met for coffee and she pitched an idea to me: that I’d be kept in chastity for a week and that my finances would be cut back to the barebones, including limiti...

Euternatia

Hello. I’ve come across a seemingly obscure classical mythology reference to the above figure in a trad music song called ‘bad luck to the rolling water’ and I was wondering if any of you had any insight? The full verse is “She might not have been Aurora, a Flora or Diana, But she sang songs in the back tap room along to the ould piana. She was not Euternatia, nor was she Venus bright, But...

What Tone do you like in content?

There’s a lot of chat here around preferred methods, toys, how extreme, how much damage, what shoes, what models, etc. But I’ve yet to see this question posed: what sort of tone do you like in your content? What sort of emotions? Playful? Fearful?

Belfast Boundaries

For those of you who live in Belfast, where would you consider the boundaries of North, South, East and West Belfast to be? Is there a Centre Belfast? Is there overlap/frontiers? How far out does each part go before people become culchies?

Rejection Anxiety

So, last year, my long term relationship ended. I thought I would be ok, in time; but I’ve found that I’ve become increasingly sensitive to rejections and it’s really starting to impact me. So, earlier this week, a group of people I would have considered my friends booked to go to an outdoor event and didn’t invite me. I found out accidentally from overhearing some of them talk about it. A...

Did you always like your Femdom Gentle?

Hello everyone! Just a question as it says on the tin- did you always like your femdom gentle, or did you approach it from a different perspective? I ask because I started from the perspective of someone with a strong fetish for trampling- I had assumed that with the thirst for bloody violence came the need for aggressive femdom. But I recently met someone really amazing, someone kind and thoughtf...

Disco Elysium

So I had a few runs of DE there and failed very early on: took a heart attack after bucketing into Lena, took a heart attack failing to batter the Cuno, gave up on life after trying to catch my coat. All fun and games. The fourth run I started was the funniest though. Harrier woke up in the hostel room but refused to stand up, instead, he just spun around on the floor like a disco record.

Furthermore, everyone else in the brotherhood seemed to be given a name based on their trade (brothe...

Coming out after 30. Cw: Coming out, breakups, sexuality

Hey everyone. First time poster. I’ll cut to the chase. I’m a straight cis male in his early thirties, my partner is a cis lesbian at the same age.

I enjoyed the vehicle sec...

What has Unionism done to make Britain better?

Or rather, to make staying in Britain a more appealing prospect than a more appealing prospect?

The future of this place is going to depend on wobbly nationalists, lundies and other mi...

On the theme of ‘tenuous alliances’

I’ve seen a lot of discussions in here over whether Vecna/Henry/One/Alex De Large controls the mindflayer or vice versa cabs I think we’re maybe missing a bit of a theme.

Is there a rule that prohibits Catholic clergy from having beards?
