The Vine

Twitter introduced an app called Vine that allows you to share video in six second increments. The internet and videos together have always been a great combination, especially when it comes to porn. For some reason it has become one of the most popular porn search engines on the web. Six seconds can be a lot of porn if it is good enough (and for some men that's all the time it takes), but I still question why it became so popular. There are tons of free porn websites out there where people can post whatever they want as long as it is legal. The only upside I can fathom is that there isn't as much spyware or ad-ware. However Vine is an app, so it's for the phone. I don't know anything about how "ware" affects a smart phone.

Apple is not happy about the increase of porn on their app. This makes me laugh since Apple has become the obnoxious rich person's brand when it comes to their phones and newer items. The reactions when a pornographic video became an "Editor's Pick" is like a page out of White Whine. To think that Twitter's dirty videos have nearly poisoned a part of Apple's prudish reputation is more than amusing. Grow some testicles Apple, or we'll show them to you.

BDSM Redefined

Looking at BDSM sites around the web, I find that they are all the same. Leather, bondage, gimp suits, and rubber. There’s more to it than just that, even Wikipedia knows this. These sites only show the generic things about BDSM that most people think about when they hear those four letters together. I’m not even into leather since I’m vegan. The common definition of BDSM is boring to me. Bondage of all sorts is fun but it shouldn’t be the main attraction. What are you going to do to them now that they are tied up? Are they excited to be bound, or terrified?

I love being a slave or being a master, but it’s not just about serving or being served, punishing or being punished. It’s the care a master takes in making her slave her own. It’s the way she establishes the relationship whether through gentle training or harsh punishment. Discipline is key with a slave. A slave is more like a pet who can be productive.

A slave sometimes wants to please her master, but sometimes wants to break free and run away. Who knows what master will do when she gets her slave in a corner? It is then up to her master to gain her trust or threaten a punishment she fears worse than losing her freedom. A master who cannot handle her slave is not a master at all.

Bringing it all together, I love BDSM, but also dark, occult, or terrifying sexual topics and acts. The goth sites interest me more. They are more diverse, more poetic, and more risque. They cover a broad range of gothic subcultures from lolita to the celebration of death, even gothic sexual extremes (most of which include at least one form of BDSM). I think I will be focusing more on them rather than other sexual sites unless I can find a real niche kink. I know of two websites like that, but I’m not telling… yet.

50 Shades of Grey is Not a Rainbow

 Housewives with boring sexless lives love 50 Shades of Grey. It is no surprise to me that these are the same people who love the Twilight series since 50 Shades of Grey was originally fan fiction of Twilight.

Ana Steele (really?), a 22 year old Mary Sue/Bland Protagonist has lots of sex with a Christian Grey, an older entrepreneur. Sometimes it contains the generic definition of BDSM. He gives her expensive shit in exchange for control over her. He obsesses over a contract that she refuses to sign. It is not just badly written, but it does not represent any sort of healthy relationship. I don’t expect a realistic relationship from a romance novel, but something does not sit right with me in this story.

This man is rich, handsome, and powerful. He sees her once and demands control over her. She takes the bait because he is rich and gives her presents. A true BDSM relationship (or any relationship really) is based on trust, not materialism.


The fact that 50 Shades of Grey is so popular and considered risque shames America’s sexuality. BDSM covers all sorts of fetishes, sexual activities, and types of relationships. Yet anything that could be considered more than what is featured in this book is sick, perverted, disgusting, and wrong. Do we have to wait until society deems our sex life normal to talk about it?

 What’s worse is they are making a movie of this atrocity. Sheep are going to lick that up like the ending of a circle jerk.
