There have been a number of thoughtful and interesting blog posts popping up recently. Obviously that doesn’t include anything from this particular location, but several posts from my blogroll have caught me eye.
Firstly, Miss Pearl came up with 33 things every submissive man should know. This is territory that a lot of bloggers have covered in the past, but rarely as succinctly and effectively as Miss Pearl has done here. In a similar advisory vein Ferns tackled the tricky issue of ‘How does a sub say no‘. There’s not easy answer to that, but Ferns does a nice job of exploring the complexities of it. HMP and Dymion delivered a rare double header on the subject of ‘Longevity in D/s relationships’. The original post started over HMP’s blog and Dymion followed it up with his thoughts. Both provided some thoughtful commentary. Finally, Kaya wrote about a very emotional and complex scene from her past. It’s not femdom, and her relationship to BDSM is quite different to my own, yet I found the post fascinating.
In other blog news I was happy to see that Constanze Borgia has started updating her site again. She’s been busy helping out an animal charity, and I’m sure she’d be grateful to anyone who contributed.
I’ve also added the ‘Girl on the Net‘ blog to the ‘Sex & Kink Blogs’ section of my blogroll on the right. It’s more sexy fun times rather than BDSM, but I’ve enjoyed reading it. Plus, the eponymous girl is British and some of her phrases and cultural references points make me smile and think of home.
I’ve no idea what picture is suitable for such a wide range of material, so here’s a naked lady with a whip. You can never go too far wrong there.
This image is appropriately entitled Whip, is by the artist RedPandaDee.
Thanks for the callout, paltego *smile*.

Hi Paltego:
Thanks for the shout out! 🙂
I enjoy blogging so much more when it becomes a conversation…
I will definitely check out some of the other posts you mention here. Ferns is awesome. Looking forward to checking out Ms. Pearl as well!

Thank you for the mention! I’m often surprised when people mention how British I sound, but then I read my stuff back and think “nah, they’re right. I am *well* British.” =)
Glad to have you on the blogroll. I wouldn’t say your writing comes across as super British (whatever that would be like), but after years in the States, mentions of things like Sixth Form or Alan Sugar make me smile 🙂
