Journalling Channel
Chat has a new feature! It’s at #journaling and replaces our Monday topic chat with journaling prompts for any day. The channel is led by Sleepmonger and chrissa.
“Welcome to the brand new Journaling channel! Starting soon there will be daily topics and questions to engage all of you in some longer form discussions surrounding our various lifestyles. We are excited to hear your thoughts and perspectives to widen and broaden our understanding, as well as learn and grow together. Active topics will be pinned for ease of access but feel free to bring up older discussions or post questions of your own!”

This is just a little slice of The Garden at www.TheBDSMGarden.com, a resource community for those already practicing, or wishing to learn the art and lifestyle of Domination and submission in their various forms and practices. In The Garden, guests learn and share the ideas and realities of pain mixed with pleasure and a moment or lifetime of consensual service. Beyond The Garden gate exists a growing collection of essays, definitions, and interactive amenities to assist the curious and the expert in self-discovery, learning, and fun.
The following is an extract from the book Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns explaining Dominance, submission, and the common bonds we share.
“In exchange for obedience by the submissive, the dominant agrees to care for and work toward the pleasure of both partners. Thus empowered by the sub, the dominant takes control of their scenes and agrees to abide by the limits she sets. .
Some people extend D/S roles outside the bedroom, often referring to themselves as "slave" [or "submissive/ subservient"] and "master." Generally, these people consider themselves D/S "lifestylers".” Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism, Miller and Devon, Mystic Rose Books,1995, p. 9
