Our friends at Lovely Fate are having another party this Saturday in Los Angeles. Seeing as they only do them infrequently, we thought we’d repost Laila’s review from when she attended earlier this year. I sure am looking forward to it!

Are you afraid of “coming out” to your healthcare professional? We found this article very interesting as it raises some interesting points about telling your doctor about your lifestyle, especially if you are regularly being exposed to STI’s or blood born pathogens through edge play. There is also a concern about mental health concerns as well. Check out this article on Forbes.

We like a little kink in our tv watching experiences. Starz’s The Girlfriend Experience season 2 premiere treats us to a lesbian Dom/Sub relationship. The actresses are excited to delve into this season’s delightful pleasures and opening themselves up to experiences they may not have in their own lives, but are very much a part of our kinky hemisphere here at Kink Weekly! Read here.

An Irish bar is under fire for an “aesthetically vile” sign that has been in place since 2013. When I read the article headline I was expecting the sign to have nudity or offensive language. The simple marquee sign in large black lettering simply says “BDSM”-paying homage to the name of the bar. The bar owner is taking it in stride, however.

The Story of L and spin off from The Story of O gets a second life with its 2017 re-release. The story follows a lesbian plot line as a woman goes from Dominant to submissive.

I was delightfully surprised by Vice’s detailed ‘how to’ for kinking up your apartment. Some of New York’s most notable Dominatrixes gave their best tips for working with small spaces and making vanilla items handy for play.

This is an interesting turn of events ending with a victory for the Folsom Street Fair organization-Facebook originally rejected a proposed ad from Folsom soliciting for volunteers for their annual event. The ad is below. Do you all think this ad is too much for Facebook? Eventually, Facebook reversed their decision and ran the ad. Read the full story here for the details.

It’s an emotional day in the US as we remember the events of September 11th at the World Trade Center in New York. Though I was not in the country at the time, it was an event that rocked the world and most certainly won’t be forgotten. Today we remember those that lost their lives and all of the first responders and volunteers who answered the call for help on that day.

This new series Neurotica from IFC cracks me up. A OCD Dominatrix, that’s all I’m going to say. Watch episode one and let me know what you think on the comments!

This article on the long practiced art of “flagging” is really interesting. The act of wearing a specific handkerchief in one’s back pocket to signify where your interests lie. This practice was predominantly practiced by the gay leather community.

An ermerging gender fluid line of lingerie is coming from a very unexpected designer. Check out this article from Bazaar.

This is a fun read from Leafly about one Dominatrix/entrepreneur pitching her cannabis-based lubricant at a pot convention in order to win over investors.

Flamefest sounds like the kind of place I’d like to visit. The BDSM/swinger festival has classes, parties and more. Unsurprisingly, local residents are unhappy about the “festivities.” since the event happened last weekend, we can assume it went off without a hitch, but we’ll keep you posted on any updates.

“The Hacienda Villa is located in the city’s trendy Bushwick area, and is home to 14 open-minded 20-somethings who embrace ‘sex positivity’.” A communal BDSM house where residents are not allowed to sleep with one another-a novel idea! How about we get a west coast chapter started? Full story here.

FetishCon kicked off this past weekend in St. Petersburg, FL. The event moved cities after years of holding its festivities in Tampa. Apparently the event went off without incident-that is I’m sure plenty of kinky fun was had but no one died or got arrested. All in all, a good weekend I’d say!

Here in Los Angeles we wanted to wish a local community leader Mistress Cyan, owner of Sanctuary LAX congratulations on her marriage. We hope her and her bride have a happy and long life together!

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

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!

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.
