I suppose this is the part where I say, wow can you believe how the year has flown by?! The year is scooting on by but we are just getting started here at Kink Weekly.

Former housewife Morgana Muses is breaking stereotypes with her BDSM oriented films. The Guardian’s in-depth coverage of this artist is a must read.

Check it out, there’s a Tinder for kinky gay folks. We’ll see if this one is a roaring success.

This issue is all about the Dominants! Don’t worry, we threw in Vic’s fun take on dungeon etiquette and also some steamy erotica from Skye Leroux involving some “switchieness.” I being of dominant mindset found all of this to be quite interesting but those of you who are submissive or switch will still find new and useful information here! As always, let us know what you think in the comments.

Buzzfeed reports on rapper R Kelly and his house full of ladies. Apparently they are all involved in a Daddy/babygirl relationship. This is unsurprisingly causing a bit of a stir with the general media and public due to its “unusual” nature. Furthermore, there are allegations that abuse is happening and that the girls are involved in an unhealthy relationship. Many of the women who have been with Kelly for years are their of their own volition so it is difficult for their friends and families to assist. We’ll have to see how this all plays out.

VICE covers the website Ethical.porn which aims to do just that, offer porn that includes all voices and emphasize consent. That sounds like a tall order considering the rabbit hole porn has gone down in recent years. It will be interesting to see how their work takes effect.

A few weeks ago we reported on Wonder Woman’s potential roots in kink and BDSM, now a new documentary film wants to prove this theory. Director Angela Robinson hope to do just that with her new film Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

In a great twist of fate, a Dallas gay bar owner is running for Governor. Read the full story here.

Rolling Stone begs the question, “Is it safe for abduction fetish sites to exist on the internet?” Fetlife has been under scrutiny lately as being considered a resource for real life non-consensual kidnappings and more. What do you think?

We’ve definitely evolved. There is now a sex manual for Muslim women. The manual doesn’t just speak on sex, it also is aimed at helping women avoid and handle abuse. Read the full story via The Guardian here.

Mistress Megara Furie invited medical students to her dungeon as a means to educate them on BDSM, sex work, and more. It’s no secret that sex workers and those involved in the BDSM community face shame, prejudice, and judgement when seeking medical treatment. We commend Mistress Megara on her efforts!

On a more positive note, we wanted to share this fun info: Kinky Salon will be throwing their next party July 29th in Los Angeles. That gives you plenty of time to rest up after the 4th of July festivities!

In the words of Polly Superstar, the founder of Kinky Salon, the tenets are “community, creative expression, and sexual liberation, becoming part of a movement to change our culture’s unhealthy attitude towards sexuality. We are queer friendly, body positive, accessible and inclusive. Creativity is the focus of the events, and sex is just one way to express yourself at a Kinky Salon. We see the liberation of sexuality as a means of personal transformation, and personal transformation as a means of cultural transformation… making the world a better place, one pervert at a time.”

This July, awaken, faeries, sprites, and foolish mortal lovers giddy in moonlight! Behold, for yonder knavish lads and sighing lasses seem bewitched by Puck, our forest’s horny and horn-ed master! Gather folks and fae most worthy of our lords most ribald fantasy, for a steamy dream (betwixt thy thighs) is being dreamed!

Costumes Required: Faeries, sprites, elves, hobgoblins, nymphs, forest, flora, fauna, woodland creatures, wild beasts, Athenian youth, Puck, Titania, mythological creatures, lovers.

Tickets here. You’ll be required to apply first. Doors open at 10pm, last entry at 12.30am.

Do you follow Zodiac signs? A new study reveals the most likely kink for your sign. How close did they match to your desires? While I disagree with the general explanations for some of the BDSM terms in this article, it’s a fun read.

We’re all about paving the way and continually striving for inclusion. This story reported by LA Weekly totally fits the bill: a gay Muslim and the first Pakistani-American to participate in the International Mr. Leather. Hopefully his example will pave the way for others.

This new “alternative” sex shop Wild Flower, offering body positive toys sounds pretty amazing. It looks to launch on July 22nd and is already getting some great press. We’ll keep you posted once it launches!

This is a great interview with two BDSM fashion luminaries Zana Bayne and Todd Pendu on a new exhibition at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan. While the two primarily only style the stars, they are eager to try a new artistic venture.

Happy 4th of July everyone. Here in the states, the fireworks will be shooting and there will be much beer consumption.I hope everyone celebrates safely and stays kinky!

Cosmopolitan magazine features the best new BDSM and fetish dating apps. They included FetLife but to my knowledge they do not have an app. I’ve only checked out one other from this list, Whiplr. Has anyone else had any experiences with the other ones listed?

A man was arrested in Illinois for the kidnapping and assumed murder of a fellow university student. He used Fetlife and its subsequent groups on kidnapping role play as possible “research” to carry out this act. This may further prompt Fetlife to continue removing edge play and other related materials from it’s site.

In England, a man was sentenced to two years in jail for the murder of his lover during a BDSM session. The pair were under the influence of a drug called M-cat which contributed considerably to the man’s death. This begs us to remind you not to play while under the influence.

Costumes Required: Faeries, sprites, elves, hobgoblins, nymphs, forest, flora, fauna, woodland creatures, wild beasts, Athenian youth, Puck, Titania, mythological creatures, lovers.

Tickets here. You’ll be required to apply first. Doors open at 10pm, last entry at 12.30am.

Papermag featured one of anniebear’s favorite designer and also the creator of the first collar I ever got for her from Creepyyeha. This New York based designer, while not singularly a BDSM practitioner draws some serious inspiration from the lifestyle.

anniebear and myself are finally heading back to the states after a two week stint in Europe. We made it to the Torture Garden Ball which you can read the full recap on in this week’s issue but that was sadly the only kink shenanigans we were able to fit in the schedule! We’re looking forward to getting back into the mix in Los Angeles and continuing bringing you some great kinky resources!

I’m so sad to have missed Kink.com’s rummage sale! Since they are transitioning out of the Armory space to make way for events they had to clear the space of all the props, furniture, and costumes. Here are a few of the more interesting items that could have been purchased.

Another public case of someone losing their job and facing disciplinary action due to their BDSM past which is setting us back about another twenty years. A New Jersey police officer is facing a lot of backlash due to her prior experience as a pro-Domme. When I say prior, I mean prior to her even getting a job as an officer. I chose to link this opinion article because it hits the nail on the head compared to the other, less flattering articles on the story.

I can’t make this stuff up. You have to check out the video for the full story, but basically pro-abortion Satanists dress up as BDSM babies in order to draw attention to their agenda.

We finally had our launch party this past weekend and I’m pleased to note it was a success! It was so wonderful having past and current contributors, models, and photographers as well as friends of Kink Weekly in attendance. The performances and scenes were beautifully done by the likes of Goddess Fae, Princess Marx, Sir Gear, Mistress Lucy Khan, Arcane of Crow Academy, and many more. We hope this will be the start of many events with our new partner Lovely Fate.

This week, anniebear and myself hit the road, heading over to London and Spain. Hopefully we will have something fun to report back on, but in the meantime, please enjoy this week’s issue!

I’m quite enchanted with Stjepan Sejic’s webcomic SUNSTONE. It looks beautiful and touching. I stumbled upon it by accident and wanted to share it with you.

And more in art, painter Natalie Frank’s telling portrayals of Dominatrices in New York will leave you gazing.

Club NSFW sounds very intriguing. The New York-based social group is making waves with their rigorous vetting process for club entry. Any hopefuls out there?

The week of our launch party in partnership with Lovely Fate is finally here! Saturday, June 10th we will be celebrating in Los Angeles. Some notable figures will be in attendance such as Goddess Fae, Princess Marx, Wry, Mistress Lucy, rigging from Crocoduck and many more! A few tickets are still available but we do plan on a sell-out.

Wonder Woman is queer and kinky according to many followers of the long time super hero. Check out the full take on this revelation from Glamour magazine.

I’ve been featuring a bit of BDSM tattoos on “This week in kink.” We’ve got some more titillating images from Onnie O’Leary, Benjamin Laukis, and Valentina Ryabova. Brace yourself for some sexy and check them out here.

Do you all remember the Columbia rape victim who carried her mattress around campus in protest of the way the campus handled the investigation and case? She has come back with a BDSM performance art in New York. I had a few issues with the article particularly that they referred to a male Dom as a Dominatrix. Perhaps that’s what he prefers to be called? While I applaud Emma for the intent behind her work, I’m not sure I enjoy BDSM as spectacle. Let me know what you all think about the report from The Daily Mail. We also are featuring a recording of her performance in our Video/Photography section this week.

Kink Weekly launch party in partnership with Lovely Fate Events (June 10)

Less than two weeks until our Los Angeles Launch Party (June 10). In addition to our contributors, models and kinky friends, we’ll also have some featured guests including Princess Marx, Lucy Khan, Arcane, slave daphne, Goddess Fae and more. Tickets are selling fast – if you don’t already have one, you’d better hurry up and get yours if you don’t want to miss out!

This video on MSN covers the “Top 5 Myths about BDSM”. It’s pretty basic stuff, but interesting anyway. BDSM is not a fetish? Hmmm, not sure about that one.

In a recent interview, Fifty Shades star Dakota Johnson claims that she now “admires BDSM”. She goes on to say:
“First of all, there are some very chic avenues in BDSM. It can be very beautiful and tasteful, and the materials can be luxurious. It’s not like being on Hollywood Boulevard and walking by a ball-gag store.”
Wait… what’s wrong with Hollywood Boulevard ball-gag stores?? Oh, Dakota…
