Introducing: The Sextacular Show

1962739_1422498761361405_6317541674088743973_nThe Sextacular Show is the brainchild of Chris Connolly, a friend of mine who has brought together an entire community of creative sex-positive thinkers in the Boston area to make it happen.  I sit behind the scenes, hoping to make a meeting when I’m in town or suggesting people who ARE in town to hit up for collaborative genius, and wish I could be more involved.  Please do get in touch with them through their facebook page if you want to learn more or participate in some way yourself:

The Sextacular Show:  A show that provides performers and audiences of all walks of life a place for consensual, sex positive, and raucous self expression.

Sounds fun, no?!  I am writing about them today because they have an amazing opportunity to present their project in front of a grant-funding audience called “Feastmass” this Sunday (Father’s Day).  If you can make it, please go and support them – your participation matters!  Below are the details, and if you do attend, for a mere $15 suggested donation you get a wonderful dinner, proposals from sublimely interesting people, and a feeling that just by showing up you’re a part of something in the Boston area that has great meaning not only to the people attending, but the people participating, and the people those projects eventually reach.  Win win win in my book, so I vote getting your ticket TODAY!:

FeastMass is:

a recurring dinner party in Boston. During the night, people present proposals for creative, community-engaged projects that need funding. Everyone votes, and the winner receives a grant funded entirely from the night’s ticket sales.

You must reserve your spot by emailing Feast, there are 100 spots available and they fill up fast.  To join shoot an email to feastmass@gmail.com with your name and the number of guests you’re bringing.  They will collect a suggested donation of $15 in cash at the door.  The Sextacular Show will be at the Feast this Sunday, June 15th, at 6:30pm at 549 Columbus Ave (https://www.facebook.com/549Columbus). I hope some of you can make it there!

They say the pain of birthing is…
…still so many children have siblings.
“Relationships are hard” the back of my brain whines
While I gasp for air in a corner
Beside myself
Barely recognizable
A ball of distrust and sharp edges stabbing inward too

Fear.  Grief.  Feral Anger.  Pain.
These places are taken at the table
Crowding out space set for perspective and care
Past and present intertwine
Here and now
A ghoulish nightmare
Mismatched memories
And I don’t know who I’m talking to anymore

The hours roll by
An evening, a week, a year; my life seems almost through
Tears fall
Bark of a pained heart
Howling cry long in the night
And we fail one another
Love one another
Push each other
Sew it back together

Maybe stronger
But when memories recall too fast
We fall again in blame
When memories fade too fast
We trip up, a clumsy face plant on the floor
I look for grace
Lovers learning
Creative breath
Opening by degree
Delving deep to fix the cracks
A race against shatter

We will fall again
In love, in turmoil, into Fear, Grief, Feral Anger, and Pain
We’ll see them coming to the door
We’ll take place settings away
Calm the monsters
Hold onto a faint almost imperceptible vital knowing
That everything will be alright

Nothing incredible was ever created without an understanding of survival
Without a certain measure of surpassable pain.

To Breath and Being,
~ Karin

One More Week

and we’re done with the ABCs of Kink’s first full alphabet tour.  This week I am waiting on a date with a particular “Z”, so will be back next week with a full report!  In the meantime, please message me here [Karin (at) ABCsOfKink . com] with ideas for the next round of A-Zs.  I’d love some suggestions.

Here’s some fun stuff to look at in the meantime, a few of my favorites from this past series:

Playing with a Sadist who was one of the fiercest (and most fun) people I've played with... look closely and you can see the beginnings of the boot marks that will be black and purples the following day

R is for ROUGH BODY PLAY

O is for ORGASM CONTROL

M is for MUMMIFICATION

The spoils of war are sweet indeed. Intoxicating.

D is for DEATH PLAY

Spreader bars and wrist cuffs!

B is for BONDAGE
