BDSM is Love

Someday, hopefully soon, I am going to remember to address Master correctly. For about 2 weeks now, since the start of my new rules, I have been failing miserably. I am supposed to address Master whenever I ask a question, answer a question or reply to an order. I haven’t done a good job and I know that Master is getting annoyed. I don’t know how to fix it other than to try and do it all the time, and then work on backing off. He’s having to constantly remind me. One day he’ll decide the break in period is over and I will be punished for forgetting. I dread that day now, if I don’t get any better.

My shoulder is getting better. These meds are horrible though. I am constantly tired, always dizzy and it’s so hard to focus in class. My sex drive is 0 and I’m not being very attentive at all. I’m going to start weaning myelf off of the pain meds this weekend, if I can. I want to be normal again. I’m tired of being tired.

The Iron Gate is about to step into another phase. I have 3 people volunteering to do an advice column. They will answer anonymous questions and discuss topics pertaining to many different issues, from play issues, service and submission and relationships. They all have wonderful experiences to share. I’ll keep you posted when the columns are open for questions. I hope to have new columns posted every month.

I have other ways that you can contribute to the Gate, if you are reading this and wondering if you could help with my BDSM resource.

1. Essay writer. I am looking for your personal lifestyle
essays, your how-to’s and any other BDSM related writings.
Whether you have just one, or you love to write, I’d love to
have your work on my website. Author retains copyright.

2. I’m looking for someone to be an “Ask the Expert.” This page
has yet to be developed in full, but it will host advice and
question answering from all ranges of people, and all sorts of
questions. This would be a regular “job” in that when there
aren’t questions to answer, there are basic information ideas,
I’d like explored. I’d like to post a new “Ask the Expert”
section at least monthly. (I’m now looking for only unique perspectives.)

3. Poets and Story writers. Become a featured writer at the Gate
and all your poetry, BDSM/Lifestyle related prefered but not
required, will be hosted for all the world to see. Stories are
also welcome and can be of a slightly kinky nature up to the
extreme. Author retains copyright.

4. BDSM Humorist. I have begun searching the web for BDSM humor.
Comics, jokes and snippets from online chat rooms are welcome.
They must contain some copyright information, so that it’s not
stolen. If you know jokes by heart, they can be attributed to
you. Send me your jokes and comics. Yes, I’m asking you to spam me with comedy.

5. Book reviewers would write short 400 word or less reviews
about BDSM related materials both fiction and nonfiction. They
would also be responsible for helping me expand the bookshelf
listing.

Thanks for reading, and please consider donating, even just one item to the Iron Gate. Help me make it a worthwhile, dynamic resource that people will want to visit again and again.
