Ask Janus: Not quite sure...

Posted Mon, 12/21/2009 - 14:24 by askjanus

I am interested in BDSM, while I don't know a whole lot, I want to know more and my husband is not interested. Is there anyway of easing him into this lifestyle for both of us? I would like to experience certain aspects of BDSM because I feel like am really missing out of a lot of pleasure it could give us both. Is there any thing I can do at home to get him interested? I feel like I need more, and without him even learning and trying anything about this lifestyle, I will miss out of it all together. PLEASE - any help is appreciated.

When I was growing up, the family scandal was that my grandmother went to see “Deep Throat” at the Flick Twin Theatre. She went there on a date with her boyfriend. I thought it was interesting, before I ever knew how revolutionary that was.

I love the naughty nickelodeons that show the reckless abandon of the early film explorers, and so when I heard of an opportunity to see it on the big screen, I couldn’t think of anyone else I wanted to bring except my pervy pals from the community.

“The Good Old Naughty Days (French title: Polissons et galipettes or Rascals and somersaults, is a collection of 12 silent hardcore pornographic shorts from the early 1900s.

I'm thinking something that says "holiday" and "kinky," — maybe a submissive tied up like a delicious present... :)

Images should be at least 300dpi.

If you have a contender, please email me at GPeditor AT soj DOT org.

The Janus program "CBT with Dr. PeePee and Haven Wilde" was well attended. So much so, that they ran out of handouts. For those who were there and did not get a handout, here is an electronic version of the class notes to accompany the wonderful program. The visuals and incredible demos of CBT and sounds. that the audience was fortunate to experience will only be found with those who attended. Where were you?

Thanks for all of you who came to the program.
