Sounding and Staples and Shocking. Oh My!
Would have posted this sooner, but I wanted to get permission to use the picture below first.
Last weekend I went to a demonstration on medical play, focusing on needle play, medical stapling, sounding, and electro-stimulation. Some of what I saw there I was familiar with, a lot of it I wasn’t.

(Almost) Everyone’s Into It
Most people hear “S&M” and they think of psychopathic sadists, flesh being flayed from bone, emotional abuse, and other such negative things. People tend to think in extremes, but the media has definitely played its part in sensationalizing the dangerous fringes, too. A lot of us in this lifestyle and community are seeking to change that image, ( Read more... )
