RUFF THOUGHTS: Depression among Kinsters

Young man suffering for depression

Here’s a good article on Depression among Kinksters in the Leather Community. A subject that I relate to closely, I feel depression is not acknowledged as often as it should be nor is it even properly diagnosed at times.  Symptoms can appear out of nowhere and stick around for months at a time and then suddenly go away.  Often triggered by events in your life, it can affect everything from your physical health, work and relationships.  

Learning about Depression and how it works helped me to understand my own and in return I can now actually talk about it and share this article on my pervy little blog with little hesitation.   

Don’t give up on people.  Practicing *PATIENCE and UNDERSTANDING* of others through education is the key.  

Check out the FULL ARTICLE and some great links, too.

“There is a collection of maladies that inhabit our scene, as in all walks of life, that are either directly linked to depression or, as I like to say, are kissing cousins of it. Outright depression, ongoing clinical or temporary. Loneliness. Suicidal thoughts. Feelings of differentness or isolation. Being the newcomer and trying to fit in. All of these things, and more, are present within our scene just like they are in other sectors of life.

Consider also that kinky people can have shame about their non-standard sexual leanings that long outlasts any shame they may have felt as LGBT. That can be a contributing factor to feeling depressed too”.

REBLOG: “Sometimes I Lie About My Depression Because the Truth Sounds Silly”

REBLOG: I’m reposting this blog entry today in tribute to one of my personal heros who died a year ago today. Please, take a moment to read this.

Take a moment to read this Gay Man’s description of the inner struggle many living with Depression must go through on a daily basis.  Even the most energetic and funny person with a positive outlook on life can be someone who is fighting with inner demons. You just don’t see it.  I commend this man’s bravery for putting his story (and face) out there for others to learn from.

 

Someday, I may share my own story but right now I think this man needs the recognition.   I also leave you with a favorite quote from a famous comedian to think about. 

 

“It’s difficult to be strong for others when when you’re having a hard time being strong for yourself”- Robin Williams

 

 

I’m constantly reminded of my own depression.

OK, maybe that sounds too dramatic, naïve, self-absorbed, or annoying. Maybe it sounds downright depressing.

Perhaps a better way to put it would be to say: I’m constantly, randomly reminded of my own depression. It doesn’t really matter where I am. I could be sitting in a room full of people I just met, walking home after work, or watching Beyonce music videos on YouTube (it’s a tragedy, I know). I could even be laughing when I feel it. But I always know when it’s there.

I’m not sure how to describe depression exactly. Does it make you feel sad? Yes. Down? Yes. But I think there is more to it than that…

Beefy Muscular Hunk Deprived of Air and Fucked into Submission

Beefy Muscular Hunk Deprived of Air and Fucked into Submission

Gorgeous Jacob may be made entirely of muscle, but that doesn’t help him when he is swiftly abducted, gagged and tied to a chair by a twisted sadistic Dom! Upon regaining consciousness Jacob is punched, slapped and manhandled before his tight shirt is cut off, his pants yanked down to his ankles, and his nipples maliciously tormented by his captor. However Jacob can’t contain himself, and his thick cock rapidly hardens as his nipples are pinched, flicked and bitten, prompting the Dom to edge him mercilessly while choking and depriving Jacob of air until he is gasping for breath – but there is no relief for the captive as he is subjected to the sharp bite of clothespins on his delicate nipples and all over his rock hard shaft. Next Jacob is hung upside down by his ankles by duct tape and flogged until his captor decides it is time for some intense vertical sixty-nine. Once he is satiated the Dom flips Jacob around and flogs his back and ass before playing with Jacobs tight hungry asshole. After Jacob is tied to the bed frame and face fucked, the Dom rails his ass relentlessly until neither of the muscular hunks can take it any more and blow their loads all over the place!

How to spot a CATFISH

Catfish signs

1) If they get defensive about sending pictures

2) If they say “that’s all the pics I have” after sending you like 1 or 2 pics

3) If they say “come over and you’ll see more”

4) If the pics are blurry you have to zoom in

5) If they say “I don’t have nudes” or “I don’t send face pics”

6) If they say “this is my work phone can’t do nude pics” yet they’re on grinder

7) If all they wanna do is trade pics or videos chances are they got those pics and videos from another victim

8) If the pics are screenshots

9) If their muscles don’t match other body shot pictures

10) If they say “I’m going to send my friend to fuck you” and tell you to be blind folded, face down and ass up

11) If they say they’re “discreet” so they don’t trade pics

12) If your guts is telling you this is too good to be true

13) If they refuse to take pictures in a specific pose to verify themselves

14) If they claim to be straight then you gotta be extra cautious. Using a straight card can get you to put down your fences easier

15) If they over sharing lots and lots of pictures or videos. That’s a red flag sign. Be cautious with anyone oversharing!

16) If they ask you to go to a website and sign up for a membership to prove that you’re serious about meeting with them. NEVER EVER EVER FALL FOR THIS TRICK! EVER!

Hot Uncut Sailor is Tied Up and Edged During Fleet Week!

Available now at Men on Edge: Hot Uncut Sailor is Tied Up and Edged During Fleet Week!

It’s fleet week, the planes are roaring through the city, and all the Doms are hungry for cute sailors to tie up and edge – and one handsome, hung seaman falls prey to their twisted whims! First he is bound and suspended in the doorframe of the open, airy bathroom, stripped down to only his hot leather boots and given some deliciously sloppy head and tormented with a pair of hitachis until he is sweating, drooling and teetering on the edge of climax. Next our Doms strap their helpless captive in an open stall door and play with his gorgeous tight asshole while he struggles and begs for release… after another messy blowjob he finally gets to blow his massive load all over one of his captors and is left stranded and naked for his fellow shipmates to discover – if they ever do!
