This Week with Wicked Grounds (10/8 - 10/18)

Howdy kinksters - A reminder that elections are coming up in the US, and we are in critical times to make decisions about the directions of this country. Think that has nothing to do with the sexy things we do? Think again! Politics has a direct impact on the ability to freely express sexuality and especially outside-the-lines forms of sexual expression. We know it's overwhelming, particularly for our West coast people who tend to face a wall of referenda and initiatives. But please, check...

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...

At Wicked Grounds, our goal is always to help kinksters find their next step on their journey. Sometimes that means classes with us. Often, it means that we recommend other books, classes, or resources to help people along. That's why we're so excited to be featured in this year's Kink Bundle from Dom/ Sub Dynamics. You can learn absolutely everything you’d ever want to know about the bundle over here, but as a quick overview: It includes over $2,000 worth of courses, trainings, and products...
