On Power Dynamics

Aug 4 2025
posts // comments

I was thinking about power dynamics today. No surprise, but I’ve been fortunate enough to be developing a new dynamic lately, so it’s especially on my mind.

I was thinking about how intensely erotic and fulfilling it feels to claim ownership of someone, and to be owned.

At …

Who Wants To Know?

Feb 21 2023
posts // comments

While rebuilding my site, I chose to unpublish a handful of blog posts. Most of what I publish here is smut—short or long kinky erotic fiction. Once in a while I’ve written a post that was about me, and more substantive than “I’m horny and want to …

Why We Feel Alienated

Nov 15 2021
posts // 630 words // 3 min read // comments

This was originally a tweet, but I'm elevating it into an article, because I think it's useful.

Sort of, though I'm not sure why. But I voted "No".

I'm not surprised 75% of respondents voted "Yes", yet I'm not sure why that is, either. 🤔

Spending Time on Kink; or, Porn vs. Playmates

Aug 25 2020
posts // 1,170 words // 5 min read // comments

I have been spending a lot of time on my hypnokink in the last few months.

I’ve been very fortunate to have no fewer than 3 frequent playmates in that time, and we talk a lot. Plus, I joined Twitter, and it’s a fun way to interact with …

Two Types of Submission

Aug 18 2020
posts // 600 words // 3 min read // comments

I’ve been negotiating with some of my playmates how we can play together as a group. This is new ground for me, and it’s both exciting... and challenging.

I don’t have tons of experience with intense, ongoing D/s dynamics. I’ve done some of that, but …

On Needs

Jul 31 2020
posts // 560 words // 3 min read // comments

Sometimes I wonder if I could be a good “top”.

See, I’m switchy. That doesn’t even really cover it, actually: “switchy” kind of suggests I might like switching sometimes. No. I need to be submissive. And I also need to be dominant. Yeah, I have a given mood …

Hypnosis Experience: Post-Hypnotic Suggestions

Jul 2 2020
posts // 798 words // 4 min read // comments

I had one of my first experiences responding to a post-hypnotic suggestion the other day.

My playmate suggested that, when I came out of trance, I would answer any question she asked with “Yes”. I would only be able to answer “yes”, regardless of my actual opinion on the question …

Metaphors First, Pocketwatch Later

Jan 22 2020
posts // comments

Over the past quarter century—and it sounds ridiculous when I put it that way—I’ve spent about a million hours thinking, fantasizing, reading, and talking about hypnosis, but I’ve spent maybe a couple hours doing it.

At Charmed! this past weekend, I learned a lot. And the …

That Was Quick: Taking My Audio Off of Soundgasm

Nov 17 2019
posts // comments

So, I tried to link directly to my audio recordings on Soundgasm.net, so I could just display a little embedded player here in my site, instead of kicking you over to them. But that doesn't seem to work. It works just fine when I test it locally, but on …

First Story Posted to the EMCSA!

Nov 9 2019
posts // comments

It's a story I posted here last week, but I still need to crow a little bit. 😊 The Erotic Mind Control Stories Archive was one of the first places I ever found where people who shared my kink were, well, sharing their kinks—this was long before Tumblr or dedicated …

Inevitability

Nov 1 2019
posts // comments

I almost posted this on Tumblr first. Then I thought better of it.

No one reads the Terms of Service, do they? And no one who writes Terms of Service believes that the millions of people who obediently feed the work of their creative imagination into the machine read the …

A Hand on My Throat and a Hand Pulling My Hair

Somone on tumblr, way back when: I miss being dominated physically - a hand on my throat and a hand pulling my hair

I’ve grown to love pulling hair and handling throats. But I’m not much into harm (and I’d rather stick with safer ways of indulging my …

Discernment

Feb 14 2018
posts // 1,256 words // 6 min read // comments

Life calls upon you to make choices.

If you choose the same thing over and over, it becomes a habit. If it’s a habit that makes your life worse instead of better, it’s called a “disorder” or an “addiction”. I’m sure that’s an oversimplification, but I …

Sub Routine, and How to Hook

I mean “hook” in the writing sense, not the sex-worker sense, just so you’re not disappointed by where this post goes.

Wanting to Be Wanted

Last update: Mar 8 2023
posts // comments

You know, it just this moment coalesced for me what turns me on and off about potential partners on either the dom or sub part of the spectrum.

I like being controlled, but I don’t like being an object of scorn. I don’t like “female1 supremacy”, I …

What a Switch Is

Jun 19 2015
posts // comments

You see someone jogging down the street, someone gorgeous. Black shorts, strong thighs, iPhone strapped to the curve of their bicep. Skin taut, muscles glistening.

And sure, the thought flickers across your mind: you want to have sex with them. But it’s not just animal penetration you imagine, or …
