There is a lot going on in Los Angeles kink this time of year. As summer approaches, the parties ramp up! This weekend Leather HEAT takes place in Burbank. Then in just a few short weeks, DomCon Los Angeles will bring Pro-Dommes from all over the planet for a multi-day event. I’ll personally be speaking on a panel about Old Guard vs. New Guard, a definite hot button topic as of late. I hope to see some of you there!

With the intro line I thought there might be something new and interesting in the list of fetishes. Other than an alternate name for cannibalism it was nothing new or interesting. Of course actually reading The 120 Days of Sodom does tend to make one unshockable.
