This Week with Wicked Grounds (9/24 - 10/4)


Howdy kinksters -

Happy Leather Week to all who celebrate!
​
The San Francisco Bay Area is a flurry of activity right now as everyone prepares for this Sunday's Folsom Street Fair. The fair is an enormous street fair spanning several city blocks of San Francisco's Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District. Several hundred thousand kinksters and curious will come out for a full day of booths, performances, and some of the best kinky shopping anywhere.

If you're coming to the fair, come say howdy! We'll be talking about the kinky, queer revolution, giving out fabulous prizes, and hosting meet and greets with several Wicked Grounds instructors throughout the day.

Not in town for the fair? Don't sweat it. There's lots in store for you this week. Read on!

Could I distill everything I've studied about the phenomenon of drop from my half-decade of classes on the topic into one quick actionable set of strategies? I could, and I did! The twelve tips below circulated widely after I shared them online. If you're having drop today, you might want to take a peek. If not, bookmark this for the next...

When I was a baby submissive back in the early 2000s, I was eager to learn. I'd read a few books about BDSM over the previous decade, and as I entered my first serious D/s dynamic, I was starving for more. Unfortunately, I did something pretty stupid. Because I was in an ongoing dynamic (with, it turned out, an extremely inexperienced dominant), I let my dominant guide not just our relationship but my education. I read the books she wanted me to read, and she forbade me from reading others. I...
