Q: My partner is interested in spicing up our love life with some light bondage during sex. Any tricks you'd recommend to keep it safe, but fun?

 

Ryan: Whootie Wooo! In this case, I would highly recommend the "sex swing." Whatever you do, just make sure the swing is securely fastened to a weight-bearing source. We don't want any injuries! …

 

Don't be afraid to experiment with the unknown. You never know what may turn you and your partner on.

 

Canyce: Oh my, Ryan.

 

If you introduced a sex swing into the relationship, that could easily freak your partner out. I mean, you're going from conventional sex to the Super Bowl of sex contraptions! Take it slow.

Pornographer gets 15 years for exploiting teen

 

by Stephanie Rice

The Columbian (Clark County, Washington)

December 20, 2003

 

Former Brush Prairie resident and child pornographer Michael Aaron Wilson was sentenced Friday to 15 years in a federal prison for sexually exploiting a 17-year-old boy.

 

Wilson pleaded guilty July 11 to exploiting a teenager by posting photographs on the Internet of the boy undergoing sexual sadomasochistic abuse.

 

Federal authorities have described Wilson as a "well-known member of the S&M community."

 

Authorities began building a case against Wilson in September 2002 after a Seattle man, his wrists and ankles shackled, showed up at a residence near Prairie High School, saying that he had just escaped from Wilson's nearby home.

Union worker loses key court battle in office spanking case

Centre Daily Times (State College PA)

December 19, 2003

 

A worker who sued his Minnesota employer and co-workers for physical, psychological and financial injuries he allegedly suffered after an on-the-job birthday spanking has lost a key court battle.

 

While saying the workplace tradition of spanking fellow union employees with a 2×4 was "childish, unnecessary and ultimately injurious behavior," a state appeals judge ruled Tuesday that neither Jeremy Meinstma's coworkers nor his employer intended to hurt him, so Meinstma's claim is exclusively a workers' compensation case.

 

Meinstma's attorney, Marcia Rowland, called the decision "shocking" and said she plans to appeal. Meinstma could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

 

Rowland said Meinstma was beaten so badly that he was spitting up blood and had to be treated in an emergency room. His injuries forced him to take a week off from work.

HOW TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

 

Feedback letters are an effective way to convey a positive image of alternate sexual practices such as SM, swinging, or polyamory. You can help to correct negative social myths and misconceptions about these types of practices. These letters help achieve the advocacy goals of the NCSF.

 

Generally, for a letter to be published, it's important to include your name (or first initial, last name), city and daytime phone (for verification only). For more information, see:
