22 Sep 09 Rituals threads on O&P groups

I've started another couple of threads, this time about Rituals, on the O&P groups on IC and on Fetlife, and on TSR. [more...]

17 Sep 09 O&P groups on IC and Fetlife

I've created O&P (Ownership&Possession) groups on Informed Consent in the UK and on Fetlife. To get them going, I'm starting threads on these groups about each of the ten keywords on the O&P Manifesto, starting with Authenticity.

3 Sep 09 Ownership & Possession (O&P) Manifesto

I've decided to try to express my beliefs about M/s and D/s, using the possession, property, and ownership framework that I've started talking about this year. I'm calling this structure "Ownership & Possession" or "O&P", so I have a shorthand for referring to it. The O&P Manifesto lists its ten main concepts.

Most of these trips have been to enjoy the wood (including its BDSM possibilities with a new volunteer), but I've also almost finished the new toilet. [more...]

15 Jul 09 Nature Deficit Disorder

I came across Coed Hiraeth in Wales, a woodland that is being developed for various "health and wellbeing" activities, from informal wilderness days and volunteer weekends, up to outdoor therapy sessions. Their common theme is that we're missing something we need by not being in contact with the natural world, and that woodlands are an ideal place to redress this imbalance. [more...]

1 Jul 09 Making a "flyprod"

Electric fly swatter bats have been around for a few years, and they're a tempting toy for BDSM use. When I first got one, I did wonder about adapting one to be a bit more like a cattle prod, and I've finally got round to it, with all the components from Maplins or B&Q. [more...]

21 Jun 09 Visitors

Yesterday I had half a dozen visitors to Bridgewood, and the weather held out for the picnic and showing people round the site. Having proper car access at last makes a huge difference, and I've taken the "not yet open" disclaimers out of the FAQ now too
