The Floating World

How fucking cool does this sound?
The Floating World of 17th-century Japan was a pleasure district. Its visitors enjoyed an unprecedented level of sexual freedom, unbound by gender or class. Our 21st-century Floating World aims to create a similar space — a space of safety and freedom, the ideal environment in which to explore.
We invite you to explore who you are, and who you can be. Experience pleasure in a playspace roomy enough to accommodate the strongest passion and the wildest idea. Learn from the country’s top educators — and from each other.
Many sexuality events are run by a single organization or a promoter, and are designed to appeal to one specific interest: LGBTQ, bondage, spiritual sex, political engagement, etc. The Floating World is a meeting-place for these communities, and many more. We encourage our attendees to build bridges among communities, to share perspectives, strategies, and insight.
The Floating World is three full days of classes, workshops, and panel discussions, alongside a marketplace brimming with toys and clothes to excite and entice. At night, our playspace opens to its full capacity, including special events hosted by our diverse participating groups. In total, The Floating World is a space dedicated to the serious pursuit of understanding, identity, and pleasure — three elements that necessarily go hand in hand.
I cannot express how much education is important in this realm. Oh how I love thee Internets. If this wasn’t all the way over on the East Coast, I would go! For more info, click http://thefloatingworld.org/web/ and enjoy!

Bush Confidence

Image
I had no idea what she looked like and I was very intimidated by her. I had always been told that no one should ever touch this sacred place, not even me. Fearing that I would touch myself by accident, I took extra care when I showered or changed my panties. What was this mysterious place that could elicit such tingly sensations? It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I even took a peek. I laid back on my bed, with a mirror clasped tightly in my hand. I saw her in all her glory. She was just like I imagined. Neat and pretty. But I quickly put away the mirror. I felt shy looking at her. Like I was filthy for doing so. I touch her now (with permission from Mistress, of course). I began going commando so she could get fresh air. Lately, I’ve been letting her bush grow uncontrollably. I’m a huge fan of waxing. Shaving was never my favorite. I have never publicly admitted that it is presently a jungle down there. At first, I thought how very unladylike this was. But I’m actually very...

Worth my weight in gold

I am 5'4 and my current weight is 183 lbs. There. I said it. A lot of the time, I hate how I look. Seeing my body change like this has done a number to my self-esteem. I could get on my beloved soap box and rant about how the media pushes the image of beauty as being skinny. But I've got a different perspective to point out. I've been guilty of the eye rolling when a girl that is more slender than me complains of her weight. Like a twisted version of an upward comparison. How could it be that your weight excludes you from those who are allowed to complain about it? I am not morbidly obese. And I will never be so thin that my rib cage is visible. But this does not mean that I am not allowed to bitch about it. I want to make a conscious effort to put an end to the eye-rolling of others' weight.

Do you speak to your mother with that mouth?

I recently made some changes on my FL profile. If you've been listening to Intellectual Kink or listened to my previous post, you may be aware that I'm ready to  delve into my interest in male dominants. The second step in this part of my life was to revise my profile. Aside from Twitter, it's really the only place where I maintain an online presence. It makes sense that I would advertise my desire for a Master. The messages I've received have not inspired much hope that I could someday find this unicorn-like Dom. "You can come over, clean my house, and then clean my cock with that dirty little mouth of yours." "How are you? I want to use you. Message me. I want you as my slave." Sigh. Dude, I'm still a human being. At least that second one asked how I was... Note that I won't be relying on FL messages for this endeavor. Can you at least take time to get to know me? Ugh. Delete. Yes, FL. Delete Forever.
