1. A male sub talks abuse

    I just got an email from a submissive man in response to my piece on abuse in the BDSM scene. His story is a good reminder that women aren’t the only ones with these experiences:

    I was at a play party some years ago where I was seriously abused non-consensually by a woman who figured she could do anything she wanted because “sub males should consider themselves lucky to get any kind of attention from a dominant woman.” After it happened, everyone kept telling me to stop talking about it because she was a known dominant, and it would only “hurt your reputation in the community.”
