Alaska: Even in the furthest corners of the world, kink reins supreme! The annual Fetish Ball in Anchorage, Alaska took place this past weekend. Impressively, they raised over $19,000 to benefit HIVE and AIDS prevention. Check out the full story from an open minded vanilla here.

UK: This story is making major headlines. Secretary of State for Culture John Wittingdale has found himself in the public eye after details of his short relationship with a prostitute specializing in Domination. It’s unclear whether he participated in any BDSM acts, though it seems unlikely. This just seems like another piece of meat for the public to chew on, though some papers opted out of the “sensational” story. He’s really under hot water for allegedly releasing classified information to another of his romantic partners, a former adult actress. We’ll see what develops.

Florida: Malcolm Brenner is in the center of a controversial documentary highlighting is sexual relationship with a female dolphin Dolly. The self-proclaimed zoophile also admits to a relationship with a dog as well. This is definitely one of the most controversial and now illegal kinks known to exist. It begs the question of where one should or must draw the line to attain sexual pleasure.

We’re gearing up for DomConLA in just a few short weeks. But in the meantime, anniebear has been busy at another local event, The Villians Ball. Check out her full review in this week’s issue.

USA: There are new developments from a story we reported on a few weeks ago involving a George Mason University student. A judge has ruled that the student was wrongfully expelled after a case was brought against him involving non-consensual BDSM acts. The student is now to be reinstated. View the update here.

Michigan: A bizarre tale of BDSM and consensual sex-a Michigan-based woman has a accused a now ex-sheriff of over stepping the bounds of their rough sex relationship. Assault and rape charges have been filed against the officer. As always, consent and negotiations are 100% important in any BDSM or borderline fetish acts. It sounds as if these two along with alcohol involvement, were not on the same page. Full story here.

This weekend is Leather HEAT in Burbank, CA. anniebear and I will be stopping by to check out the classes and exhibitors so we can offer you a recap of the festivities!

Canada: A new study in Quebec has revealed that sexual deviancy and kink are the new norm! We can now stop producing articles for Kink Weekly since this is all considered normal now…just kidding 🙂 The study results show that “almost every second person was deemed a sexual deviant according to the DSM”- the DSM being the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Only more great news on the road to broader acceptance of kink. The original Catch News article can be read here.

New York: I wanted to share this interesting article on one pro-Domme’s journey into reclaiming her body and dating life through kink. I personally feel that BDSM and kink can be positive attributes to most anyone’s life if done in a safe and consensual way. This is one more example.

How has kink changed your life? We love hearing stories from our readers. Let us know in the comments or via email.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend full of chocolate body paint and vibrating eggs!
