these positions is 60 days before the election. That date is July
12, 2002.
BARBARA NITKE PHOTO EXHIBIT AND OPENING
July 10 - August 3, 2002
Art @ Large, 630 Ninth Ave, #707, NYC
212.957.8371 gallery@artatlarge.com
Art @ Large
proudly announces that it will host an exhibit of photographs by
acclaimed photographer Barbara Nitke, July 10 - Aug 3, 2002 entitled
Barbara Nitke: Twenty Years, An Exploration of Sexual Relationship
and Desire.
The exhibit
coincides with the filing of Barbara Nitke and the National Coalition
of Sexual Freedom vs. John Ashcroft, a landmark lawsuit that seeks
to overturn the federal law limiting free speech on the Internet.
The lawsuit claims that the Communication Decency Act's definition
of obscenity is so broad and vague that it inhibits the discussion
of sexual issues on the Internet among adults.
Hailed by The
Village Voice for her quest "to find humanity in marginal sex,"
Nitke has gained worldwide attention for her powerful photographs
chronicling relationships between consenting adults engaged in sadomasochistic
activities. A professional photographer since 1982, Nitke is president
of The Camera Club of New York and serves on the faculty of the
New York School of Visual Arts. She operates a Web site (http://www.barbaranitke.com),
which showcases her photographs.
"My goal has
always been to capture not just the deep intimacy and trust between
lovers, but also the intense energy and passion of SM practices,"
says Nitke, who filed the lawsuit because she is concerned her photographs
could be deemed illegal under the law. "I think that adults who
want to see my Web site should have the right to visit and look
at it."
An opening
reception for the artist will be held on Wednesday, July 10, 2002,
6 - 9:00pm. Show hours will be Tue-Fri 1-6pm, and Sat & Sun by appointment
only.

MEN, START TAKING NOTES!:
"Sex & The Submissive Woman" Panel has a lot to teach.
by 007
A bevy of vital information was given out last Wednesday at TES as a panel of
five submissive women laid out in full detail what the scene means to them.
The ladies April, CheriAnn, Ginger, and Maria, under the moderation of
hostess Joannie Bird, spelled it out for any dominant man with the common
sense to listen, and they are encouraged to pay attention here. First and
foremost, be aware that a submissive woman IS a woman, a whole person, and
not just a sex object to be played with and discarded. Second, as April
pointed out, having a woman identify herself as submissive doesn't
automatically imply that she'll be submissive TO YOU. Assumptions that
chemistry occurs in an instant or that sex is an automatic part of the
package are just completely unfeasible. Above all else, a submissive woman
wants her MIND stimulated, not just the body. While flogging and other
physical acts are nice, a faint whisper in a lady's ear can be just as big a
turn-on, if not bigger. What makes a man desirable is his creativity, the
variety of choices and options he offers, and the honest concern he shows for
a woman's entire outlook as opposed to just her sexual preferences. Having
no manners and approaching someone with nothing on your mind other than a
scene will get you absolutely nowhere. These were the most important points
that were made, and the knowledge is greatly appreciated.
HEADS PISS ON ME, TAILS I PISS ON YOU
by Fallen Angel
Wet, warm and
wonderful describe both the topic and the presentation by Boymeat
and Kate at this week's Switchables Meeting. As an introduction,
he playfully told a story about an incident that happened at this
year's Leather Retreat where he literally had a bevy of ladies empty
their bladders on him. Boymeat then carefully explained both the
joys and hazards of piss play. One reminder was that the recipient
should have no open cuts and to keep urine away from your eyes as
it can burn uncomfortably. He also explained that you should drink
as much water as possible to create a lightly colored stream.
Boymeat, Kate
& Luna had laid a plastic tarp on the floor and covered it with
paper chucks -- also known as puppy "wee wee" pads. After undressing,
Kate was on her knees, waiting for that warm sweet stream to pour
down her breasts. Then, they reversed places and Boymeat was laying
on the tarp. He made some male remark about lying in a "wet spot"
as Kate straddled him and peed. It was a lovely sight to behold.
After cleaning
up, there was a lively circle discussion where people recalled the
first time they thought about piss play or tried piss play. A most
enjoyable evening was had by all.
