A spanking a day keeps the doc away?
[AGENCIES ]
|
Russian researchers seem to have found the perfect answer report claims that everything from depression to alcoholism can be cured with — hold your breath — a regular dose to beating on the bare bottom!
The researchers who carried out tests on caning further add that spanking is more effective than exercise at chasing the blues away .
What's the 'recommended' dosage?
Well, strictly according to the research, about 30 weekly sessions of 60 of spankings each is what you would need to reduce your medical bills.
For those of you who are wondering, 'Why spankings?' Simply because high levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or 'happy chemicals' that lead to feelings of euphoria.
Endorphins also boost the immune system, release sex hormones and reduce appetite.
Dr Sergei Speransky, who now 'treats' patients at the Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine was reported as saying, “The treatment works. I'm not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.”
Did someone say, “Just what the doctor ordered?”

It's been one of those kinky weeks again, and Both K and I have been as busy as rabbits (lol) albeit kinky ones, we've been working real hard getting our kinky store together and organizing all the bits and bobs that go into making things work. But we've still had time to get nasty, and have we. We had a really nice kinky session yesterday with me getting tied up and spanked in what was almost a hogtie but not quite... Pictures will be up later, when I can be bothered to upload to photobucket, and when people can be arsed to leave a comment.
Cheers
Ash

Tied Up With Friends
When you think of the terms bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism, you probably don't think of your neighbor, your doctor or your accountant. You might think of people on some HBO special filmed in a far-away town.
Think again.
Meet the members of a local social club called Desert Dominion.
Desert Dominion is a 140-member club formed about five years ago. Members must be 18 or older and can be any sexual orientation, race, creed or religion. What brings them together: They all enjoy various kinks (legal activities involving consenting adults). The group has a clubhouse, board, committee chairs and bylaws; it even pays taxes. Members must sign terms of agreement and pay dues. They also sponsor the Southwest Fetish Ball, which was held Jan. 22.
Member Dawn explains the terminology. "Bondage and discipline is for people who like to be tied up. Dominance and submission is something that happens on a mental level. You can be in a (dominant/submissive) relationship without physical happenings."
But the explanation of S&M, sadism and masochism, gets a little more involved.
"This is where you get into the pain/pleasure syndrome" says Dawn. "It's the easiest to misunderstand. People think if you are a masochist, you like pain. I don't like pain. That's not really what the term means and how we use it. A masochist receives pain in given amounts in order to get the endorphins going. That's what they are looking for, the endorphin high. No one will come up and say, 'I want you to hurt me.'"
Member Jefferson further explains the S&M misconception. "You see a lot on TV that makes it look nonconsensual, and it isn't. We tell people: Don't do anything you don't want to do. It's important for us to know the difference between abuse and consensual domination."
What's also important for Desert Dominion members is to clear up other misconceptions about their club.
"This is a support group. ... These are people who, for one reason or another, live lifestyles or have feelings that are a little off the mainstream. Because of that, they may have felt isolated, unloved or bad. This is an opportunity for them to be with people who support them and make them feel good for who and what they are," says Tom, a member for the last two years.
The group offers a variety of activities including discussion groups, movie nights, parties and seminars. In a seminar, one may learn about dominance/submission dynamics, how to properly spank a partner or get tips on the process of mummification (wrapping a person in cling wrap so they can't move).
What you won't find is a sex club or dating service.
"Some people lead with the idea there's a lot of sexual content here, that it's a sex club. It isn't anything of the sort. A long, long time ago when I first went to this place, I said, 'This reminds me of a church social where people tie each other up,'" says Tom.
Tom's friend Mary agrees. "It's a lifestyle club with discussions not just about lifestyle things. We are real people. We talk about children, cooking, things that you would expect to talk about at a club get-together. We do have discussions that are specific to lifestyle issues, but it's not strictly that."
But when discussions do turn to BDSM lifestyle issues, there's a strong desire among members to educate and support each other.
"I am more interested in education," says Jefferson. "If they want to do something, I want to make sure they do it right. I like to teach people how to do things properly so they don't get hurt."
Jefferson is also passionate about freedom of expression.
"We are tired of society telling us this is how normal people behave. There is no such thing as normal. We are all individuals. We should worry more about treating people as individuals and making people happy rather than trying to fit into some mold society has made. ... Too many people take society and their parents into the bedroom. Base (your life) on your guidelines, not on what Dr. Phil or Dr. Ruth says."
While Jefferson stresses the importance of individuality, Dawn stresses acceptance.
"I remember how scared I was the first few times I went to a meeting. I was admitting in public, declaring that I have these feelings. Since the time I was a teenager, I had thoughts about people tying me up and having sex. I tried to hide it and didn't want to talk about it. ... I remember how liberating it was to find out I wasn't the only person with these thoughts. I began to realize that they were a part of me, a healthy part of me that could bring me pleasure. I want to tell people they are not alone in the world."
The comfort of members is key at Desert Dominion, especially at play parties--where members "do any kind of play they want to do"--from spanking to waxing. Blade play, needle play, cross-dressing, paddling, flogging and canning are other activities members may participate in. To ensure comfort and safety, members use "safe words" to keep play from getting out of hand.
"When a person is being taken to the edge of where they feel comfortable, there's a word they can say, for example 'red,' that tells the other person or monitor that this is as far as they want to go, this is over," explains Mary. A monitor is someone who watches the floor and makes sure any play that is happening is done safely.
Safety is an important issue for members, who stress that activities must be "safe, sane and consensual." If Desert Dominion were to have a motto, that would probably be it. Another strong theme is that of acceptance. Members want to be seen as normal, productive people.
"There tends to be a negative image," says Dawn. "People think of us as being weirdoes, but we are just like anyone walking down the street. We come from all parts of society. ... These are some of the kindest, gentlest, nicest people that I know."
While Tom explains that Desert Dominion is a "very heterogeneous group with lots of different kinks and fetishes," Jefferson agrees and adds the one similar ingredient of "accepting each other." That theme keeps the group together.
"You'll find cross-dressers, men in leather and transsexuals who are all friends," says Jefferson. "No matter how diverse we are, we all get along because we look at people as individuals. We should be proud of what we are."

| Great Weekend & BDSM stuff |
| 03.07.05 (8:59 am) |
After a trying week, where we've been practically at each others throat every moment, day in and out, we've finally had a great weekend. Almost the first time in both our lives where kink has taken a backseat to the more important stuff- Love, each other,cuddling up under the covers and just enjoying ourselves. We both have a million fantasies we want to enact with each other,
(Karen - Can't wait to tie and whip Ash's butt, and he keeps promising we'll do it tomorrow)
We are also working out our webpage which seems to be almost ready and should be uploaded soon. We also will have a shopping page with some brilliant stuff which can be ordered. hehe finally loads and loads of reasonably priced kinky stuff. Cool BDSM gear.
Thats it from us for today as we go back to bed. but hope to hear soon from anyone interested in picking cuffs, collars, gags, blindfolds etc.
Karen

| Ups and Lows |
| 03.04.05 (5:35 am) |
Everything and everyone has their ups and downs. Business, careers, sport teams, even life. Last week has given us our share of ups and downs. A few arguements,jealousy, self-sympathy, stress and lack of sleep can surely turn the best of friends into squabbling rivals. Both of us wondered at times "why do i put up with this crap?" But we didnt need to look too far, the answer was there, just that we were too angry to see it.
Before I met Ash, I've never been a one-man woman for a long time. I did get my share of kicks from the various casual kinky relationships i had, inspite of having a regular boyfriend. So to give up on all my freedom, my friends and my online chat sessions, seemed like a big deal. Esp when we fight. My constant thought is - doesn't he see the sacrifices I've made for this to work.
But what I didn't see was that Ash's sacrifices were way bigger than mine. Hez sacrificed his country-his home- his family, just to be by my side, just to b here for me since I did not want to relocate. Hez sacrificed his friends who told him I was too old for him, too boring, too plain. Hez sacrificed his independence too, his flings, even his cyberromances that he was so popular for.
After almost three days of throwing insults and nasty remarks at each other, today as we lay down in each others arms, we realised that all our fights have just been petty ego hassels. Our relationship is much stronger, and we are now back to being on our climb to the top.
Everytime I look at Ash I smile , happy to be with him. Today I also Thank God, for helping us survive our rough days, and I thank Ash putting up with my crap.
Karen
