The photos below are from Dart’s Domain. I’m re-posting these because… well… they’re fucking hot…. but more so because I want to direct some attention to his most recent Blog Entry. The entry was very moving. It’s a good reminder to anyone into BDSM that there is *MUCH* more to the scene that just the sex/kink.

I really admire Dart for many reasons. He’s had an incredible journey, he’s very humble and he’s able to swap roles from Dominant to submissive much easier than I can.

Anyways, please check out the entry. He’s good people. The article also reminded me of the love, support and protection I have from my Leather (and Rubber!) Family.

Protection

I am at a point in my leather journey (good lord that’s an opener that is so incredibly overused – but I digress) where I have come to realize something very simple and basic…yet something incredibly easy to forget. And that is that in leather, and in life, love equals protection…and it’s something we all want. Whether it’s love expressed in the course of friendship or courtship, in mentorship or even play….what ultimately leads us into that place of trust and fulfillment, where we see possibilities in ourselves that we hadn’t seen before, and hand over all our fears and inhibitions to allow ourselves to grow….is that unspoken element where no matter what, we’re on somebody’s watch. And we know it, we FEEL it in our core.
