Yes, I know it’s lame. But what can I say, I have a solid streak of BDSM running through me (switch). It wasn’t even the sex parts, at least I can say that. It was certain moments when he was telling her how it worked…just sent a few unmistakable Zing!s through my fun parts. (Of course, doesn’t hurt that I’m a fan of Jamie Dornan, whom I first came to know as a disturbingly appealing serial killer in The Fall.) There. I’ve confessed. Someone punish me. 😃 ---

It’s amazing that so many people think BDSM is something new. It’s not. ---

Not to mention my work as a vintage pornographer… oh yeah, I just did. It’s a trip to see the “playtime” they were having a hundred plus years ago. ---

I don’t know that I’ve heard anyone deny that “50 Shades” is good fantasy material, particularly if you understand the difference between RL BDSM and fantasy. The problem is the unwashed masses who **don’t** know the difference. ---

Hell, even Waldos joke isn’t new… I first heard that one when I was just a kid. (In the form of what did the sadist say to the masochist when he asked to be hurt…) ---
