Dear X,

You asked for me to write you with three scenes I would like to see transpire between us sexually/kinkily/fancifully – things for us to share with one another experientially.  I will admit that there are many things that I would love to see us do, and there are a great deal of activities that I would like to repeat that we’ve already brushed against or tried to tackle…  However, in the nature of starting somewhere, I offer you the three I have selected today, in no particular order:

~  I have a love for clothespins that goes beyond most toy and sensation interests.  Perhaps it is because I was raised in the country always with a clothesline at the ready, and those pins were both a chore and a game.  Perhaps it is because when I first discovered intentional pain play my partner used this cheap and easy tool for the experimentation.  Perhaps it is because I am an intensely visual woman, and my turn-ons include looking at artistic photography of people in compromising, unbelievable, and challenging positions, and when I worked as a book buyer at a sex store I would spend my bored minutes pouring over the books about pain threshold play enjoying photos of needles, hooks, and people turned into human porcupines with clothespins – people given wings and domino-like trails across their bodies for the pleasure of the designer, the model, the photographer, and eventually myself, the observer.  I would like to know how many pins can be trailed along my body parts, for you to turn my curves and soft skin into three dimensional, kinesthetically punishing art.  I look forward to my slow and painful release at the end, to exhaustion, deep breaths, your tongue and soft hands exploring my sore bits, and your mouth on mine.

~  Your voice turns me on when you are commanding and clear about your own intent and desires.  There is an unapologetic frankness in your tone when you are turned on and telling me exactly what you would like for me to be doing that sends all questions, all arguments, and any extraneous thoughts out the window bringing my brain and instincts clearly into the moment.  I want to be good for you in those moments.  I want to be exactly what you need for further inspiration and play.  I would like to encourage space for that confidence to grow in you.  Thinking about this turn-on further, I would like for you to plan an evening out or prepare space for your desires to play out as you wish them to before we meet.  I would like to know I am walking into your space, your plan, your evening earlier in the day.  I would like to know in advance how to prepare myself (body, mind, heart, headspace).  I would like to come to you willing.

~  Taking a few classes in rope bondage is an activity I would like to share with you.  I know rope is a new interest of yours, and I would like for you to have the practice and understanding to tie me as you wish, to pour the intention and detail into your work that I know you enjoy in the endeavors that make you happiest.  You are a geek at heart and it is one of the things I love and respect most about you (not to mention one of the things that gets me going most easily when you express your knowledge and passion about whatever subject you know a lot about when it’s at hand).  I am happy to be your bottom during class, though if you would rather find a group of your own to grow legs in outside my presence, I understand.  If you would like me to attend with you as a compromise to that process, you can direct me to be silent as you learn in your own way and on your on terms (I know how vulnerable the learning process can be).

There are a million more ideas I have, though these are the first three to reach out and grab me.  I look forward to our continued play, passion, growth, love, and understanding of one another as we figure out what this relationship is; what these dynamics amount to in our hearts and practices.  You make me smile, my love, you make me flutter.  I hope this letter finds you satisfied and inspired.

~ Yours.

Complete Human Beings

BWcult-322 CCI think it takes a lot of complicated math to look at people as the complex human beings that they are.  Fear is a big player in our incapacity for seeing the many steps that make up a person’s path.

I have been a professional storyteller since the age of 11.  I have been a children’s theater teacher, an after school art teacher, a touring puppeteer, and owned my own puppetry business.

I have also been a sexuality educator for most of my adult life in one way or another.  I have worked at a sexuality boutique, taught toy parties; I am a kink writer, drag and burlesque performer, and adult woman with my own sex life outside of the personas I create for work.

Are these things at odds?  I don’t think so.  Knowing who to talk to about what and when, having boundaries about what people want from me, and knowing when it’s appropriate to bring up particular subjects, these are all skills I’ve learned along the way to being this complete (and still evolving) human being that I am.

As there is joy in the world, let there be light for all.  There is enough room for the spaces that make each one of us safe, and an acknowledgement that sometimes we have to share the road.  There are ways of navigating all these things with grace…

My fear is that I am not allowed to be all of who I am.  That there is a “Big Brother” judging my journey, and waiting for me to slip up somehow, somewhere.  Living in that fear can only make me small.  But in this lifetime, I have to claim that I want to exist to the fullness of my being, I want to be my all.

To Breath and Being,
~ Karin

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

BeGoodPostcard1909Sensing

New musk.

Accustomed to something less or more or sweeter or heavy…  This and that tossed around and I’m blind to the meaning of you in my life.  The feeling is grey fog and sweet quiet wondering.  Want grafted painfully to restraint.  I’m willing not to know, but still struggle behind my eyes, wiggle in my seat, calm the urge to spring towards your body, a rabid animal.  You watch my watching and take it personally a little bit.  Uncomfortable shifting around.  My mind wanders to things that entertain…

I want to taste the shape of your smell, round and spicy, red wine dripping down my esophagus staining the space behind my breastbone, and wetting everything on the way to center.

I am sense-drunk.  These moments are relaxing and relaxing is something I don’t trust.  But I’m resolved; I won’t wrestle you.  I want to bask.  Slip your skin over mine like bike leathers for warmth. safety. pleasure.  Your value in skins: Connection.

Hair prickling, cunt throbbing, gut satisfying, emotion stoking, heat generating, connection…

And sitting with myself is the prize at the end of the day.

And it is the pain of umbilical cord sliced through.

Connection.  Together.  Alone.

I was briefly involved with someone once who was in a “don’t ask, don’t tell” relationship.  Normally this type of thing doesn’t fly with me, I’m the type who wants to meet your primary partner and maybe even other partners before jumping into bed or complicated emotional unfoldings.  But this situation was different…  When we met there was an instant connection and my playmate told me the story of his very long term relationship, and how they had come to decide that a don’t ask don’t tell arrangement was best for everyone involved.  I trusted the story and connected with this person over a period of a few months sporadically.

It was fun for a while.  But over time it grew sour, on my end mostly I believe.  Thing is, I think that because this person didn’t really practice open communication at home, there was no precedent for open communication to be a part of any relationship they were having…  And it turns out that doesn’t work for me.

Time passed and we fell off with one another.  I still appreciate the time we had together while it was good, but my lesson is learned in this arena:  I want people practiced in the art of negotiation and communication in my bed (and shower and hotel floor).  We have a longer shelf life and it’s filled with more variety, less angst, and though we’re always autonomous people choosing one another at the end of the day, I like to know that my choices can tell me all of what’s on their minds.  I want to know these things because they value me, and because they value the telling.
