“Other cultures have used the body to experiences states of existence and have used transsexuality to have mythic voyages. That I found to be a very powerful thing! A lot of the bondage and flagellation techniques that people… use have been practiced for centuries. Convening people and having a focused and centered ceremony with the sole intent of gathering and capturing that essential sexual and spiritual energy – and working on it, writing all over it, actually heightening everybody’s awareness – is something that’s made its way deeply into my concept of myself and my sexuality. Along with D and S and bondage, there’s magic that I have a higher respect for now. There are a lot of primal places you can go. You need to take care in visiting those places, but the people I’ve been meeting and the activities I enjoy are transforming my concept of myself as a spiritual being.”

- Robin Young, in an interview from the Bondage chapter of quite possibly the deepest and most informative book on BDSM play: Different Loving by Gloria Brame, William Brame and Jon Jacobs.

The
Gauge of a good poem is 
The size of the love-bruise it leaves 
On your neck.  
Or
The size of the love-bruise it can paint   
On your brain.  
Or  
The size of the love-bruise it can weave
Into your soul.
Or indeed -
It could be all of the
Above.

“The sexual posture known as The Crow/69 is, according to Tantra, most effective for mutual subtle nourishment, energy circulation and exchange. It has a potentizing effect on the sexual center of both partners and awakens the transcendental faculties of the mind.”

New Bra Adjusts to Body Temperature (and arousal)

A new bra designed by the Slovenia lingerie company Lisca is fitted with a material that responds to body temperature, and to the weather, to adjust for the perfect fit.  It’s also claimed to respond to a spike in body temperature by tightening and boosting a woman’s cleavage, in correlation to her arousal level.  Like a peacock.
