Articles

So, I mentioned that I've started writing articles for alt.com. Here are the first few paragraphs of the first of my articles to go up:


Aftercare: Let the Healing Begin
By Rosalynde

Let’s talk about aftercare.

I’m not talking about sex, or a long bath, or lying silently, skin to skin with your partner as you float back into yourself.

Don’t get me wrong, I love that kind of aftercare. But what I want to talk about now is the physical. Better yet, the medical side. I want to talk about what to do for your body to help it heal and recover so that you can play again – happily and healthily.

How many times, for those submissives reading this, have you come out of a great session, your ass red from a really good spanking, the skin on your back tight and hot from flogging, muscles sore from kneeling for what felt like forever, and then had to go to work the next day? Or to a family dinner where you really did not want to let on to mom what it is you do for fun?

For dominants, how many times have you looked at the marks you left on your submissive and tried to figure out how to help hide those? How many times have you wanted to pull your sub close and hold them whenever you see them try to sit down and then wince in pain?

And how many times have you wanted to play again, but had to take it easy because the damage from the last scene hadn’t healed up yet?

If you’ve ever been in either of those roles, or think you might be, keep reading. I’m going to share with you the contents of my aftercare med kit.

If you want to read more, you can check out the article here. I believe you have to have an account at Alt in order to read articles. It's free, though, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Once you set up the account, though, you need to go into your preferences and okay adult/graphic content in order to read the magazine articles.

If anyone can figure out an easier way of accessing the article, please let me know.

Gone too long

It's been too long since I've posted here. So much has changed.

I have a new day job, hence less of my night job going on. I'm on hiatus from the Gates for the moment, though I'm planning to go back. I've also started writing articles for Alt.com and Bondage.com, so most of my BDSM writing resources have been going in that direction. (My first article went live at Alt.com today).

I also recently learned how to shoot a gun. That was too fun, and I think that my thoughts on that belong here, since it fits in with how I feel about power.
