Sex Advice Column
Dear Mistress Jezabelle,
I came across your magazine (pun intended) and thought you would be ideal to help me with my current predicament. My interest in BDSM has been growing for a while though I have no real experience. I shall tell you my story. I am a poet that publishes my work online on a large poetry website and recently I met a woman and we struck up a good rapport. Now, by sheer luck it turns out she has extensive experience in Dom/Sub and wants me to be her slave. I have been dithering making a decision for a while, what do you advise?
The Confused Poet.
Dear Confused,
I think it is time for you to get up from your desk and got underfoot! Accept this wondrous woman’s magnificent offer, as a great opportunity like this may never come again (nor may you ever ‘come again’, pun intended, if you are always so undecided when it comes to such matters). If you truly are interested in BDSM then it is really a no-brainer that you take an opportunity to get involved and find out if it is truly for you.
As you are a poet, a man of words, so to speak, let me leave you with this to give you an idea what you may be missing out on if you don’t get your ass into gear:
Strong discipline maintained,
your training bequeathed,
to a mistress untamed;
lay in bondage beneath,
goddess of leather and flesh.
You will be tightly bound,
never again to be seen,
by the light of day;
highest maintenance queen,
shall be all of your existence.
Do not speak, do not be heard,
or your punishment is sealed,
on the tip of a whip;
flesh is salaciously seared,
with the ecstasy of pain.
It is an honor to say,
you can take to your grave,
A distinction bar none;
you are the greatest of slaves,
to the torturous pleasure.
Mistress Jez.
Dear Jez
I am a self employed man in my 40’s running my own business and I am also in the lifestyle as a Master. My business is well established and I am spending more time ‘hands off’ which gives me a lot of free time. I have also recently moved to a new area. With all this being said, I have a decent amount of money available to invest and have been toying with the thought of opening a BDSM/Fetish club/nightclub. Could you give any tips?
C.C. Money, Entrepreneur
Dear C.C.
This is an unusually sensible and serious question for these pages, I will answer as best I can. As an entrepreneur/businessman, you already have a lot of the skill-set in place for running a business, therefore there is little I can advise you in that area. What I can advise is that you do research locally. Check out if there is an interest locally. How many people in your chosen area have an interest or are actually actively involved in the scene? Network with them. Do your market research based on their preferences. Try and tailor the club to what these people, who will be your core customer want, otherwise you will either lose or not be able to establish clientele. Club location is also important. You did not state whether you have relocated to a smaller town or a larger city and this in itself may be crucial to the prosperity and longevity of your club. You are more likely to gain a larger client base if in the centre of a larger city, which will have a prospective catchment of people within the city and also people coming in from close, outlying towns, which you wouldn’t have in a smaller, less densely populated area.
The most crucial issue for you to investigate however, is the Planning Permission and Licenses required from your Local Authority. Remember, BDSM/Fetish is very much an underground niche, one that is often very much looked down upon not only by the general public, but more so by the establishment and those in authority, even though the notion that BDSM and fetishes are immoral is an outmoded and old fashioned skewed viewpoint, it is still a viewpoint that is still very prevalent in areas where the Local Authority or council is run by what would be deemed as representatives who have a very ‘moral’ agenda and viewpoint. It is essential you do your research on this, specific to where you want to open your club and you may well have to be very careful how you present the club at such planning and licensing meetings, though I am sure there are those out there, perhaps even just a good lawyer, who could help and advise you with this.
In conclusion, despite it’s popularity, BDSM is still very much a niche and a very limited niche at that in terms of available numbers, therefore neither overnight nor huge, burgeoning success can be expected nor guaranteed, though if you do your homework and go about everything correctly then I don’t doubt that a satisfyingly successful business is achievable.
Hope that helps,
Mistress Jez.
Dear Jezabelle
I think I love you. Are you available?
Mr. L.F.T. Hand
Dear Left Hand
There’s always one, isn’t there? Is it a full moon or something? I must say, I feel ashamed for your Mistress, letting you escape like this, I swear, Mistress’s nowadays, they just aren’t what they used to be.
As for your question, well, that’s for me to know and you to be punished anytime you ask. Keep this up and the only thing you will have left to you for pleasure is your left hand. This is my column, so I shall blow my own trumpet all that I want, and I will, therefore take this answer as you will, to the likes of you, I am unobtainable. I repeat, in big letters, just so that you understand: U N O B T A I N A B L E.
I am a Goddess beyond your reach. You are not even worthy to be the slave of a slave, not even to be kept around to lick clean the boots of an underling. Now, back to your dungeon! Be gone with you!
Mistress…nae, Goddess Jez!

I too an having issues with the coding, so I too shall post my contribution in here, to be added to the finished piece, if that's ok?
If there is any problem with that, please let me know.
Also, as it seems clear that the article section has been dropped by order of the contest host, I have submitted Questions and Answers for the advice column, to which I am now asigned.
However, there is a quandry. There are two Q&A's already posted before this change was made by the host, are these to stay or do they have to be removed?
Whichever is the case, I'm happy either way, just think that it may need to be clarified by the host. My contribution is going to be posted up in a seperate comment, just gimme a sec to put it up.
Again, any probs with this, just let me know and I'll try and send it to whoever is compiling the finished magazine entry some other way.
Many thanks.

i didn't revise it for typos and mistakes.. let me know if there's anything.. word did not have anything underlined red for me except for the nicknames.
let me know what you think..
good night or morning for that matter -
My interviewees were interviewed separately, but here are their answers to my questions.. not all of them got the same questions based on their answers. And My interviewees are: WomanInCharge, Switcheress, Cocoa, Livin’ Lavida Loca, Dominus, Outcast, and Altair
Q: Are you the Dominant or the Submissive?
Are you always so, or are you sometimes a switch?
WomanInCharge: Dominant, Always.
Switcheress: Switch, I shift between both depending on my partner and our mood.
Cocoa: Switch, I depend on my customers.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: I am a Switch, my customers ask and I obey.
Dominus: Dominant, I can’t be anything else.
Outcast: Submissive.. usually yes, I don’t like being the Dominant.. unless my Dom. Asks me to be..
Altair: Submissive mainly
Q: Is it your lifestyle or just relationships and sex?
WomanInCharge: Both, Everything.
Switcheress: both
Cocoa: no just sex, not in relationships though.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: sex mainly, though sometimes as a lifestyle.. but I do it unconsciously, so I don’t always keep up unless people comment.
Dominus: Both, but mainly life style.
Outcast: both, lifestyle and sex.
Altair: just in relationships.
Q: Why do u like being D/S?
WomanInCharge: I have to be the Dominant, I can’t be the Sub or a Switch.. I just can’t. I like being in charge and in full control of everything, to be honest, I like being bossy and sometimes I can be a complete bitch but at least I get the work done, and that gets me promoted quickly at work. Though in sex, I get the chance to choose, do I want to be mean and painful, or do I want to be pampered, and if I want to be pampered what do I want.. basically, being Dominant allows me to get everything!
Switcheress: Coz I get to change, and try this and that.. it pleases me to be the Dominant sometimes, and the Sub at others..
Cocoa: well as I said before, it depends on my customers.. if they want me to be in charge, I’m their Mistress, if they want to be in charge, I’m their slave.. being a switch makes things easier.. if I were a Dominant only, I must get submissive customers, and this is rarely the case.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: I depend on my customers.. being a switch is easier and gives you the luxury of being whatever people want you to be or whatever you want to be.
Dominus: I don’t think I can live as a submissive for a minute.. I have to be in control of everything.. all the details.. the small and the big, and because I am a dominant in my lifestyle mainly it helps me in life, though it occasionally makes people afraid of me.. and it sometimes gets me through tough stuff..
Outcast: I don’t like being in charge, I like getting ordered around, to be honest.
Altair: it takes responsibility off of me plus i like being told waht to do
Q: Do you enjoy pain? How far would u go?
WomanInCharge: Not really, unless it is for punishment.. which is in this case sexual.. I like inflicting it.. but not bearing.. I like to be pampered instead.. though with pain.. I inflict and decide how much pain is needed.. and I never do anything that could seriously injure my partner.
Switcheress: it’s fine, so long as it does not require the I go to a dr. or something. My partner tends to give me the right amount though
Cocoa: it’s fine, so long as I don’t get seriously injured and there isn’t blood.. though if it is biting, I can let a little blood seep.. though nothing too serious.. I like being spanked and that can go as far as my customer(s) would like. I enjoy it.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: it doesn’t bother me, so long as it is just playing and nothing too serious happens.. I don’t like ropes, I prefer handcuffs… and I don’t like dangling from the ceiling or something..
Dominus: not really, I’m not a sadist.
Outcast: well it depends on my mood, but I don’t enjoy it too much.. not physical pain that is.. but if it just teasing and torture to get me turned on.. then I love it!
Altair: I enjoy a moderate amount of pain, seeing as my threshold for pain is rather high. I would go as far as i was willing to trust my dom
Q: What are sex toys to you? And which are your favourites?
WomanInCharge: mmm.. they’re fun and pleasure. I like a good whip, handcuffs, occasionally ropes, dildos occasionally. I use plugs when I REALLY want to punish someone.
Switcheress: all are fine by me, though when I want to be spanked I prefer it to be manually! I like vibrators as well.
Cocoa: Sex toys are everything to me.. though I don’t like plugs.. they’re too painful and unenjoyable.. though sometimes I have to give in to requests… but those aren’t asked for much.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: I like toys, they fun and just seeing them makes me hard.
Dominus: I don’t like them, hardly use them, though if I had to use something it would be a vibrator and may be a paddle.
Outcast: I don’t like them very much, though handcuffs are fine.
Altair: they’re just for fun. I like ropes and handcuffs
Q: What do u when ur partner wants to take Charge?
WomanInCharge: I tried that once, and in general not sexually speaking and I failed.. I couldn’t bear it and I got really angry. I can barely bear my boss at work being “my boss”
Dominus: depending on my mood, if it is sexual.. sometimes I’m in the mood to be ordered in a way that would not make me seem submissive..
Q: What do your customers usually want?
Cocoa: I get men and women customers. Some want me to be a slave others want me to be their master and some want a good fuck and others want oral
Livin’ Lavida Loca: most of my customers are women and they want to be in charge.. if it is a threesome.. they change roles but I’m usually the sub in that case.
Q: Last question, why did you choose this nickname?
WomanInCharge: Coz I have to be in charge no matter what.
Switcheress: coz I’m a switch.. and I am a proud one.
Cocoa: Well I have slightly dark skin and I love a cup of hot cocoa every night.
Livin’ Lavida Loca: coz I’m living my life by being a male prostitute, many think I am insane but I actually enjoy it, plus it allows me to do all sorts of things.
Dominus: Dominus is Master in Latin, and I like being the Master of – almost everything.
Outcast: because I feel I’m an outcast by society, people don’t like a submissive man and they think I’m weird and a freak.
Altair: it just sounds cool and different.

Posting here should be fine.
As it seems I have to collate the work together ( Ktulu's group note)I have added my alter ego as a collab so I can edit stuff properly. The Painting Poet is me, I'll remove that when done. -
hey i hope you don't mind but i'll post my stuff here.. coz it is very difficult.. there r a truckload of codes...
-
Tattboy - both your stories are brilliantly done, the last one particularly. That does remind me of my days as a DN, one of my patients (a lady in her 90s) used to tell me stories of her married life (why I don't know) but suffice to say he was her Master and she had his initials branded on her thigh... this is sure not a new fangled way of doing it.
Mind you don't the younger generation always claim they invented sex as once you get to 21 you stop doing it???

Hi team mates

I have to apologise greatly for not posting anything up yet, but have been having some issues. If I do not have anything up by tonight, I shall definately have something by tomorrow.

Due to so many people leaving, am I to assume now that the article section has been dropped and I have now been moved over to Sex Advice Column, as per new instructions by the Judges?
-
-
Seems so its all rather confused
-
-

posted what I have got so far
-
ok as with regards the interview... ok i don't know what to interview about.. I can pick out the people and attempt to make some questions and all but i need more info about the topic i'm interviewing about (lol
so can anyone give me links or sth??
p.s. this is the family computer so hopefully nth to showy in the link lol.. or just give me what u have and i'll see what i can do..

Extact from a BDSM interview - hope it helps
Meet Bill & Rebecca, owners of a BDSM dungeon
David Shankbone: What first attracted you to this business?
Bill: Nothing other than it seemed like it would be profitable; we had a third partner who knew someone who was involved in this business. It was supposed to be a business that we weren't going to run, if you recall.
Rebecca: Right.
Bill: We were going to be absentee. Nothing but money.
DS: You would provide start-up costs and get it going?
Bill: Precisely. But there were some setbacks; we ended up running it ourselves, learning a lot about the business and doing it really well. I had a doctorate in psychology; my wife is probably the best salesperson I've ever seen in the world. Together, we've been able to put together a nice model business. We're probably the best S&M-fantasy-role-playing dungeon in Manhattan. We are that way because we think of the client first. What makes us different than all the other dungeons: we treat them like human beings first.
Rebecca: We're not--the typical.
Bill: We are atypical.
Rebecca: Right.
DS: What makes you atypical?
Bill: A couple of things. We run it like a business. We do not run it like a club. We did our homework and found most of the places in the city are run by people that aren't the smartest, aren't the sanest, aren't great businesspeople; they don't have a business background. They are people more inclined to be interested in S&M. Where my wife and I, we're sort of interested in money first.
DS: You don’t a have personal interest in S&M?
Bill: No, I don't. I do not.
Rebecca: [Shakes her head no]
DS: How is it that you're able to run a business that's centered around S&M and caters to those clients, when you don't have that inclination for yourselves?
Bill: Good question for you.
Rebecca: We're still looking out for their needs. They're still human beings, and they have needs. So each and every person, I look out for their needs. And they all think I'm their best friend.
Their home life
DS: What do your kids feel about this as a business?
Bill: They don't know.
Rebecca: They don't know. That's why we want to be anonymous.
DS: What would they think?
Bill: I don't know, but I don't think it'd be healthy.
Rebecca: I think my almost-seventeen-year-old would be okay with it. My middle one I don't think would be very happy, and my youngest would probably want to do it.
DS: What do they think you do?
Bill: They know I'm a psychologist.
DS: Do you have a practice?
Bill: I haven't for a long time. They know I have some other businesses as well; we run some other businesses.
DS: Kids just don’t care what their parents do.
Rebecca: Right. Exactly. But in a way, I feel like I'm mothering 30 girls sometimes.
DS: Is that taxing on you?
Rebecca: It's exhausting.
Bill: That's why people can't do this business.
DS: How do you handle that?
Rebecca: Sometimes, some days I go home and cry.
DS: So when people bring problems into work, which happens in any workplace, you're the one that they probably turn to.
Rebecca: Yeah.
DS: Do either of you think ever of leaving this business?
Bill: Yeah, we will.
Rebecca: We will at some point.
Bill: I'll retire and live off my millions.
Rebecca: At this point, I--we've worked so hard. I mean, at the beginning, I didn't think I'd actually be proud of it. Now it's something--
Bill: We have a lot of people that depend on us here. A lot of girls we put through grad school, a lot of girls. We've lent money to a lot of people here; we've helped out a lot of people--we've done that.
Rebecca: It's so much part of who I am, and I would never believe that it was actually me. I would never have thought this would be part of who I am, and at this point it is.
DS: But your kids know you work nights. What do you tell them when you're leaving?
Rebecca: I just try to tell them--I try to condense my work so that I can be home with them also.
DS: But what do they think that you're doing?
Rebecca: Work.
DS: Work. Just--generic work?
Rebecca: I am doing work.
Bill: A non-issue. I have an advertising business as well, a little advertising business.
DS: I got you. So it's just we're going to work on the business.
Rebecca: Right.
Bill: Since Rebecca works in the advertising business anyway, she might be there at another time, so it doesn't really matter.
Rebecca: I'm a really bad liar, so I tell them, "I'm working." I really am working.
DS: Yeah.
Bill: She's not always here. She may be at the advertising, doing some stuff, working with some print ads. So it's kind of nice to be able to tell the truth that way--
Rebecca: You know, so I'll--maybe I'll bring some papers with me and stuff, but I really am working. So--work is work.
Operating the business
The costs
Clothing supply closet.
Bill: There's a misconception in this industry. Your exposure to this is probably primarily what you see in movies, scanning magazines, scanning the Internet, just snippets everywhere. It's portrayed as though it's dark, black and evil. And--
Rebecca: Oh man, well?
Bill: What's up?
Rebecca: I do wear a lot of black.
DS: [chuckles]
Bill: It's anything but that. If you look at the rooms, there's all the accouterments you'd find in these types of places--but more than anything, there's a lot of good feeling around here. We hire the opposite of what you'd think we would hire, what the average person would think we would hire. We hire educated, nice people.
Rebecca: I remember one of our ads that I had put in said, "If you think nice girls don't do S&M,"--I forgot what the rest of it said--
Bill: “--think again.”
Rebecca: Yeah, "think again" or something like that. And that ad had pulled so many girls, because they--I think they all thought that nice girls don't do this. And a bunch of them had called and they said, "Wow." And I think I remember, a bunch of guys called because of that also. Do you remember?
Bill: I sure do, I sure do.
DS: What are the startup costs involved?
Bill: It varies; look around Manhattan, look around rents, look around build-outs, look around hiring, look around advertising...
DS: What's your greatest non-fixed cost?
Bill: The single most costly thing we spend on is rent and advertising, those two together make up the bulk of what we spend. There's supplies, and there's wear and tear and maintenance, and bookkeeping and things like that that you have to do. That's about it. The hardest thing in running this business, which is why people can't do it, is the relationship that my wife has with the gals and with the customers.
DS: Where do you advertise?
Bill: A lot on the web, we've used most of the local city papers, New York Press, things like that, L Magazine.
DS: In the back of the paper?
Bill: Typically in the back of the paper. Magazines constantly change their policy on it; they want it, they don't want it…
Rebecca: Depending on the election year--
Bill: Who's buying the paper, who's selling the paper. So it changes, so one year we got to be in the Press, but they have now stopped adult ads.
Rebecca: Completely.
Bill: So now we'll be in the Voice for a while. We're moving more towards the Internet at this point, because the Internet is a much easier, safer way for a person to look at sensitive material and not get caught with it.
Hiring employees
Personality test questions given to prospective mistresses.
Bill: Pursuant to your business question: we only hire nice people. I don't care if a girl is absolutely exquisite looking--
Rebecca: My husband has met beautiful, beautiful girls--
Bill: --beautiful girls--
Rebecca: --and he's in the end, he would say, "Well, I won't hire them." I'm like, ‘Are you insane?
Bill: I won't hire them. I hire--
DS: Why not?
Bill: Because I want someone who's going to treat people nicely and well. We have--
DS: How can you tell whether they will or will not? Just by talking to them?
Bill: Having been a psychologist for a number of years gives me a leg up on it.
Rebecca: And he's been right. And I have made him hire these girls, and ultimately he's been right They've been complete pain in the asses!
Bill: I also have a profile they fill out for me, a mini-MMPI that I developed, so that I have an idea--Rebecca and I put it together
Rebecca: I don't know if you'd like to see one.
Bill: No, no, no. Just--
Rebecca: I could show you.
Bill: So I have a mini-MMPI that I--
DS: Could I have a sample, not necessarily one that's filled out, but just one that you--
Rebecca: I'll show you.
Bill: Sure. The questions are--
Rebecca: Be careful. He'll make you fill one out.
DS: [laughs] You'd be scared. You wouldn't hire me. Is it only girls you hire?
Rebecca: Yeah.
DS: [Looking at list of questions] What would a question like "the greatest woman in the world" reveal to you?
Bill: No question would reveal anything independently of all the questions together--
DS: Sure.
Bill: --but I have a chart that I'll go through; the MMPI. The baseline data that I use to--
DS: How did you originate these questions?
Bill: Where did I make them? You get a baseline from asking girls and refining profiles--
DS: And it's an amalgamation of questions.
Bill: Of many, many questions--
Rebecca: What's your favorite question? I don't know, the O.J. Simpson . . . .
DS: Yeah, I see O.J. Simpson. What would that be an indicator of?
Bill: I'm not sure which one you gave him, but there's a brief, brief, brief IQ test there. Very brief.
DS: Do you ask for references?
Bill: No, because I really can't call and tell them I'm [laughs] yeah, so-and-so's applying here for a position.
The prices
The BDSM equipment found in The Black Room.
DS: What does it typically cost for a session?
Bill: In the two hundred dollar range.
DS: And there's lower, and there's higher?
Rebecca: Right.
Bill: Yeah, mostly.
DS: Depending on what they want to do?
Bill: Exactly. A little lower. Mostly higher.
DS: What would be the most expensive thing that someone would ask for?
Rebecca: Competitive wrestling.
Bill: Multi-girl sessions.
DS: Multi-girl? And what would they do in that?
Bill: What did you charge the one guy? Eight hundred dollars an hour for--
Rebecca: For a few girls.
Bill: Three girls, you said?
DS: Three girls would be eight hundred dollars an hour?
Rebecca: Something like that.
DS: And does it vary based upon what they're asking for?
Bill: Yes.
Rebecca: Yes.
DS: What would be an expensive, and what would be a cheap thing?
Rebecca: It just varies, there's so much--I mean, tickling can be $210 for the hour--
Bill: But the prices change--
Rebecca: Right.
Bill: --as we go up, so whatever you put in Wikipedia--
DS: Sure.
Bill: By next year, it's gonna be all new. But probably say for your article, it's two plus--
DS: And for an expensive thing? What would be something that's--
Bill: It can go up to a thousand, two thousand, we've had--
DS: What kind of an experience would that be that someone asks--?
Bill: Usually multi-girls--
DS: But what would they do--multi-girls, just . . . . Like some--
Bill: The sky’s the guy. There's no intercourse, there's no--
DS: Intercourse is completely off.
Rebecca: Completely off.
DS: What about orgasms?
Bill: They do.
Rebecca: But they do themselves.
DS: They're allowed orgasms.
Bill: Sure.
DS: And that's typical?
Rebecca: That's completely typical.
Bill: But there's no sex. -
Here's a range of subjects :
1) When you first knew you were different.
2) How you have dealt with prejudice.
3) Sex tips.
4) Gossip.
5) The pornography is evil debate. e.g. reading and looking at porn gives potential rapists etc. ideas versus reading and looking at porn is a safety valve that is good for those who might become potential rapists etc.
6) Should the Government/the Church have a say in the bedroom.
7) Why is plastic surgery good when other body modifications bad?
etc. etc.
I would suggest that we all post here so that we can work on the look together. In the contest it has to be one entry. -

I had different ideas but then again i have not finished my reading

Hi.
As far as I know we still have to have all five sections in the magazine. Hence I suggested that we jointly do the sex advice column (which had been Xianara's responsibility). -
-
i got this off the Erotic Challenge group.. u can go check.. so we don't have to bother with extra stuff if there is no need for it
-
-
-
Xianara said he took himself out of the group.. now what??
I think the idea of interviewing more than one is good one.. would give me space and a sort of comparison between them. -
-
Wish him well and get on with it I suppose... is there another choice?
-
my wife (xianariaslifetime) & i enjoy the occasional erotic write, on the side of passion & sensuality.
i spent 12 years in magazine publication, so an online mag is not much of a stretch, however, creating some sort of advice column is not something i'm interested in ~ especially now that i've seen where this project is headed. neither me, nor my wife, partake in this lifestyle & i honestly have no desire to devote time researching info to create such a section.
my wife and i left the challenge before anyone penned anything for this project. we saw the challenge and opted out. we thought it was a continuing poetry challenge with various prompts.
~ tim

Love the Depeche Mode link clever clever, vague images of Barbarella coming into play hmmmm
-
Has it been decided that BDSM is the magazine theme?
The reason I ask is if it definately is then I need to get researching and come up with ideas for the article as I will need to tailor it towards the theme.
Many thanks.
-

W/we seem to have gravitated towards that, yes
If you feel that a straight (!?! maybe I mean 'kink-filled') BDSM related article is outside your experience (apologies if you are in the BDSM scene, I can't tell from your profile) why not go a different route?
In your profile you say that "I tend to just write what is inside, if it comes out as poetry or prose, so be it. If it comes out as more of a stream of consciousness, so be it. As long as it comes out. Personally, I like to call it "Guerrilla" writing."
Why not go the Hunter S. Thompson (the King of Gonzo) route? You could write an article about a fictional BDSM meeting and your interaction with those there.
Or you could do something completely different ...
