Leather Houses 101.16 A Frame FtBd HdBd8 viewsFor those who want a lifestyle bed, love impact play but because of children or vanilla relatives want to be a little bit more discrete than the St. Andrews cross design, consider building an A Frame footboard. The A frame is formed by two 2x6" boards with the 2x8" mattress rail forming the cross member of the letter A shape. A triangle is one of the strongest geometric shapes so for suspension off of this style of footboard it certainly will support most rigging.Jan 09, 2023

Leather Houses 101.15 StAndrews Cross FtBd HdBd7 viewsThe most iconic piece of dungeon equipment that symbolizes leather is possibly the St. Andrew's Cross. Why not incorporate a St. Andrew's Cross into the footboard of the lifestyle bed as you build it? The headboard, while not a functioning piece of dungeon equipment would mirror the footboard design having a small St. Andrew's cross made out of 2"x4", while the footboard cross is made with a 2"x6" or even a 2"x8".Jan 09, 2023

Leather Houses 101.14 Ladderback HdBd FtBd4 viewsLet your play emphasis influence your footboard design. In vanilla bed design the headboard is to focal point. In designing a lifestyle bed, the footboard is the focal point and a favorite style of play should influence it. If you like rope and bondage a design that will compliment that style of play is preferred over a style that would compliment impact play. A simple ladderback provides multiple attachment points and opportunities for single post ties. The footboard is heavy enough to support most suspensions.Jan 09, 2023

WITD 101.55 Fan or Whirly Bird Style23 viewsThe fan or as I call it whirly bird style is fairly common as a flogging technique. It is not a technique I normally teach because the goal is to be able to apply techniques you use with all classes of dungeon whips. While whirly bird works with a flogger, if a singletail is thrown with this style it causes undue, excessive torquing forces internal to the bolster and bellies of the whip. I contend it will make a singletail break down quicker and become a wet noodle regardless of how good the initial construction was. Many throw this style of singletail and if it is thrown with a finger flogger style grip the internal stresses are less, but I still do not personally recommend it. There are few don'ts as everyone finds a different path to whip throwing. The whirly bird used to throw a singletail is a don't in my opinion.Jan 07, 2023

WITD 101.54 Different Flogging Styles27 viewsThere are many different styles that evolve when throwing floggers. Sometimes the design of the tail influences throwing style. A traditional handle style flogger lends itself to swinging with the whole arm or using more wrist as the flogger is thrown either in a figure 8 or rotated as a fan blade. Finger floggers lend themselves to more poi spinning style and are easier to throw florentine and different spinning patterns with than a handle flogger. The handle of a traditional flogger can be used to add leverage to a throw if it is grasped by the heel knot instead of being grasp at the balance point.Jan 07, 2023

07 - What is a Little11 viewsCG/L relationships are part of the BDSM/leather scene. Caregiver and little relationships can take on a variety of roles. Littles can be literally any shape, size and age and can take the role of infant, early childhood or adolescent usually the submissive or childlike half of the relationship. The Dominant whether Daddy Dom, Mommy Domme or Caregiver usually is the dominant. However, sometimes the little takes the roll of Daddy or Mommy dominant just as in vanilla life children often dress up and play Mommy or Daddy. Littles require nurturing, love and protection. Rewards, expectations, establishing limits and requiring a respect for those limits sometimes results in discipline or punishment. Often a slap on the hand, time out in the corner or grounding is appropriate. Sometimes they simply need a spanking if corporal punishment has been negotiated.Dec 31, 2022
