BDSM

Over time, by choosing to love myself, I have come to see that I’m not responsible for the way that people perceive me.

The rising musk of too many warmed-up bodies bopping to ultra-dance-y bass beats was the textbook sort of feel-good, midweek redemption that British synth-pop band Years & Years delivered.

It must be time for us to throw our chokers into the bonfire along with those Kurt Cobain sunglasses — once a trend becomes a meme, it’s hard to go back.

Brandishing a steak knife against her neck, he told her his intent to slit her throat open. He pulled out a blindfold and tied it tightly around her head.

BDSM is much more than just whips and chains. There are emotional and mental fulfillments that are realized by relinquishing control to another person.
