1. Highlighted Shop - Think Kink
Lyssa Daehlie and Ilana Debevec were on-hand to meet and greet folks at their store in the BDSM-Life sim last Wednesday, May 20th. Rezzed copies of their merchandise were set up outside their shop for people to try. Best of all, they offered a 50% off sale to everybody who dropped by. 
Soon the sim was nearly full. Think Kink had to set up a second vendor just to take all of the orders!__________________________________________
2. Adult Content Age Verification
Please consider taking your picture with the protest signs in BDSM-Life and posting them on the Flickr site at:Flickr Site
You can also still vote on Jira at:
Jira Vote Site
But what do you do if all our protesting falls on deaf ears? We could boycott Second Life, of course - take our dollies and dishes and go elsewhere, so to speak. If enough people did this, the financial blow might be significant enough to LL to force reconsideration of the issue. And pigs may fly (certainly someday in SL anyway!)
Unfortunately, of all the talk of alternative grids I have heard, I have yet to see such a place. If you're seriously considering a total shift to another engine, you'll be starting over in what, Entropia or World of Warcraft? All your SL dollies and dishes are useless elsewhere. Do we really want to give up everything we've done for ourselves here? Not this girl, thanks anyway!
Like it or not, you need to be age verified if you want to continue to enjoy the BDSM Life sim. One way to do so is to purchase Lindens. You can supply credit card information directly to LL or use Pay Pal, as I have done. An alternative is the Aristotle Integrity check process, which verifies driver's license, national ID card, or passport information for 157 nations. This removes anonymity somewhat, unfortunately, but that's the price we have to pay to access adult content, evidently.
Visit the Aristotle website at http://integrity.aristotle.com/, if you like. It explains the process somewhat, but there is no way to get verified there. Instead, you must visit www.secondlife.com and log in there using your SL avatar name and password. You'd think they'd make it available in world, but that would be too easy, I suppose. Anyway, once you log in you'll see an option for Age Verification in the list of links on the left hand side. Click that to open the page shown below and fill in the requested information.
Time is running out to get age verified. DO so soon - we don't want to miss any of you in the BDSM Life sim!______________________________________________
3. This Slave's Story - by Larae Magic
Domme/switch/sub Corner
There were people coming into the online “room” that had been empty and my home for months. I had only been away a week…the longest time away from that spot I had ever taken. I had slept my little avatar in the room that had been given me before everyone had pretty much abandoned the home. But generally … I did not mind the ghost home…it was safe, if silent. Not only was the home seeing people come and go…but it had become a Gorean Home once more. Something that frightened me to my very core, for this uncommon slave girl had not been accepted by the first Goreans I had met within that site, much less the years of my submissive time being told...NEVER go to Gor… it is not for you and they will tear you asunder. So that week as I watched from the sidelines as Masters, Mistresses and slaves of Gor began to arrive…panic began to settle within me.
I had stayed away a couple days… arrived in the Home to several people in the gathering area. This horribly shy girl felt unreasonable fear clutch my heart. I silently watched for a few minutes the conversations between the occupants. Heart racing…tears literally on my cheeks…I begged the Master present if I might leave. Ready to hit the red button to escape…The Master instead of absently saying “yes girl” for what ever reason on that particular day at that exact moment….instead asked…”why do you want to leave, girl?” Absolute panic wrapped a strangle hold on me. Not only being denied escape, so that I could RUN away…but also, a question…I would HAVE to talk…to answer this Master’s direct query…I could not deny the direct question…or lie… My heart was beating so hard and it was perhaps one of the hardest things…but I answered…”that I was afraid with so many there and it being a Gorean Home… may I leave”. The Master answered NO and demanded to speak with me in private IM. Another something I did not do… yet that moment…I obeyed the command to give access to myself by this stranger…this Master…who was refusing to allow me to RUN!
Over the course of the next months this Master became a very deep and close friend to me. When I felt the most alone and frightened… it was His voice on the other end of the phone… through the hours of the night whispering… “its alright baby” while I dozed fitfully. No demands… nothing forced… just a Man who honestly was there for a woman He felt care for. I will never forget those days…ever! For no other human reached out during that dark time… every day…no strings…no hidden agendas.
But the runner in me slid into control. With the growing confusions and hurt of things I was going through combined with the utmost fear of the depth of feelings for this Master…I RAN…hard and as fast and far as I could. I told all I was NOT lifestyle… it was NOT for me, though I knew it was…just didn’t think I could survive within in…I ran…and ran and ran. I did everything I could to push this Man…my best friend away…drive Him away…anything I could.
The results… an unending spiral of chaos and further darkness as life became nothing but pain.
Then, on a day when the hurt within me was reaching levels I did not think I could withstand… His collar slapped about my throat and the world came to a screeching sudden stop. Everything fell into place…calm became my center with His words…SURRENDER GIRL, you are MY baby, MY slave”… and my… “yes Master”. The time since that day… has been wonderous, and filled with self realizations of who I am…the slave I am…and that it took this special, caring and strong Master to tame the running wild creature I was. He has always had my respect, now He has my Love…and my surrender and in that surrender I know… I am slave, of worth and treasured.

5. Tarl's Valentine Story (part 1)
Now this is a story about a girl wanting to give her Master a special surprise for Valentine.
He will be home soon, the girl thought. Better finish getting ready, she glanced at the items she put forward so far with a impish smile.
The floor in front of the fireplace was covered with gaily colored cushions. And from them a slender glossy black pole protruded in phallic splendor, festooned with a chains and cuffs and collar. Candles waited in profusion to be lit.
Mmmm ... What else, she thought, Wrist cuffs ... check. Leg cuffs ... check. Gag? ... shit!
She ran to the toybox in the bedroom and retrieved the cover ball gag. Hesitated, then grasped a black silken hood.
I want to be really helpless tonight she thought.
She could feel herself becoming damp already, just a little bit.
Then she looked at herself in the mirror... Yuk!!! All rumpled and dusty from cleaning and re arranging
Who should I be tonight she thought to herself, a barbarian princess, harem girl, intrepid explorer, jungle girl?
She really wanted to be a fannigirl, but her Master Peter would not allow that.
“Shit!!” she said aloud as the doorbell rang.
“Just what I needed,” she cursed, as she had little time and she did not want to get interrupted right now. She went down and opened the door and saw it was a flower delivery and signed for it happily, roses no less. She was getting gushy and had to remind herself she had lots to do.
Outside Peter watched from the corner as she signed for the flowers. He could see she wasn't ready ... He waited. Finally the bathroom light came on.
Soon, he thought. Another hour at most ...
She jumped in the shower and sighed as the shower felt wonderful. The stress and tension from the cleaning and preparing was washing away from her body as it was replaced by anticipation. As she was drying her hair she watched herself in the mirror
And she had a wicked idea, speaking out loud, “Yes that would be perfect.”
She walked into her bedroom and laid out a short tartan plaid, pleated skirt, a short sleeve cotton blouse, and a pair of bobby socks.
Hmmm cotton panties? Not!! she explained to the empty room.
Smiling she pulled out a pair of small satin thongs that was a size to small. And thin spaghetti strings on the side. White of course, school girls look good in white.
A bra maybe? she thought, and put on a underwire bra with demi cups. She smiled as her nipples would show nicely through the blouse.
Hmmm if i use the triangle cup, he could tie my breast right over it she thought, if he wanted to. And a pair of canvas sneakers
She made one more check in the mirror and unbuttoned another button and pushed her arms behind her back and smiled. Wow, Peter will love this cleavage
From outside peter was watching the house as the bedroom was now dark, only a light flicker from the den. What was she doing? He decided he would give her another 20 minutes.
She knelt next to the post, then had another thought. Here she was ready at last. First the gag... pulling it tightly then tighter still untill the ball was clearly outlined through the wide leather band that pressed against her face from nose to chin.
The strap was tight against the nape of her neck below her ponytail. Hmmm what would Peter do with that, she wondered. She buckled the soft 2" wide leather collar just snug against her throat
“God!” she said she was feeling helpless already and she only just started. Now the hard part, she thought.
This part might not work. She tried kneeling and found that if she kneeled just right she could slip into the 2" dowel through the matching hole in the post. Then she slipped her arms over it and tried to pull her wrist in front.
Hmmm better lower it a notch, she though and tried again, and she found it just doable. Now for the ankle cuffs. Nice and snug with the d-rings facing inwards. Then thumbcuffs to lock them behind the post. She kneeled upright and placed the spreader bar between her thighs and strapped the thigh cuffs tightly.
Gawd...she could feel the tension on her inner thighs and a coldness through her damp panties. She reached up and clipped the back of her collar to the post.
Could she do it? She tried the trick with her arms again and she found she could barely reach if she arched her back, and held her head up.
She grabbed the wrist cuff and made then snug against her skin and clipped a second thumbcuff through one of the d-rings, was the direction correct? Yep she was growing more and more tingly as she thought what she would look like held cruelly against the post.
Quickly girl, she thought, before you change your mind. And she pulled the black silk hood and snugged it down with the drawstring.
She slipped her arms over the cross part and brought the alongside to the post and she found she had to arch her back even more then she thought.
And finally she got the second thumbcuff hooked to the second d-ring and she was thinking, if I just could. Then she heard the clicks telling her the thumbcuff was locked and held her good against the post
Outside the house Peter was slowly coming closer to the house.
He eased the Jag into the garage ... Then hesitated. Would she be ready for me yet? What kind of a fix would she get herself into this time? Hmmm ... Better not wait too long. He locked up and headed for the door ...
What was his gift for valentine? Would he like it?
To be continued…
