Kinky Superpowers
Kink Is My Superpower, a multi-media project from Divine Deviance, highlights the honesty, freedom, and strength of kinksters who have found our way out of the shadows and live proudly and openly.
They exist to help others tell their stories, share their experiences, and celebrate the superpowers they have discovered in kink, through films, books, calendars, and social media.
They are now developing an exciting book and documentary project about kink called Kink Is My Superpower.
These folks are inviting kinksters, whether of the 24/7 or occasional bedroom antics variety, to complete a very brief survey to help inform their project.
Click on “Take Survey” on their site, or go directly to the survey.
LDG Mentoring
The San Francisco Leathermen’s Discussion Group has now finished accepting applications for its Mentoring Program.
Pups, kinksters, leather folks, gearheads, fetishists and others have explored and deepened their spicy side in a safe and trusted way with the Leathermen’s Discussion Group since 1996.
The mentoring program is for male-identified people to explore kink/fetish sexuality, community, and relationships, at any stage of their journey.
The mentoring program began with an orientation meeting in late January, will complete the matching process by mid-February, and will continue through September.
Learn more here. You can also contact the Mentoring Program Director, Richard Sprott, if you have any particular questions.
