  • ONLINE – Sadistic Science: Best Practices for Experimentation in Pain and Torture with JustRob

    Much of what we do in the kink world is uncharted (or relatively uncharted) territory. There are few manuals in the world that instruct you on how to do some of the more extreme things we do. So we often learn by doing, through well-researched and risk conscientious experimentation. Sadistic Science! In this interactive discussion, I will talk about some of the best practices I have developed over the years of doing sadistic science. I am JustRob or just Rob :) I identify with masculine pronouns (he/him). I have been involved in the public community in Jacksonville, FL since 2008. I identify primarily as a Top and a Leatherman, but on occasion, I inhabit the roles of Sadist, Dominant, Leader, Mentor, and Teacher. I lead the committee that runs the local group Alternative Lifestyles Enthusiasts (A.L.E.),. I organize" the weekly Taco Tuesdays event and I am especially passionate about and active in our local polyamory group. My areas of experience are primarily; impact play (everything from fists and palms to whips and everything in between), electricity (specifically the violet wand), and medical play (focused on play piercing and staples). In general, I am a reaction junkie who craves blood and other bodily fluids. Overall, my passion is helping people find their way in this lifestyle and helping those who have already found it to navigate it safely and grow personally.

  • ONLINE – M/s, D/s and Multiracial, Multicultural, Multi-religious (etc.) Relationships with SirGuy

    Trying to navigate the mine field of developing a relationship is never easy. You must deal with personalities, interests, goals and other markers for compatibility. When we add to the mix authority-based relationships and all that entails, it can get even more complicated. Now, when we additionally factor in the polarizing climate of today’s world, the idea of trying to climb all those hurdles and deal with racial, ethnic and cultural differences can truly make the task a daunting one. Yet, there are many who do it and have done so successfully. How do we tackle this? What do we look for? How can we navigate the issues that are bound to occur? Let's have an open discussion on this subject. I live in a 24/7 Master/slave relationship. I've been active in the scene for over a decade. I am an Emeritus Board Member of The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), Director of MAsT Metro New York, Founder of The Dark Lair: BDSM Support and Education for People of Color, and an Associate Member of ONYX NY/Northeast. He won the International Power Exchange 2013 title. I have presented at MsC several times, Brimstone, TES Fest, The Floating World, LLC, Leather History Preservation Weekend, several MAsT groups, South Jersey Power Exchange, LILNR/LICK and over 30 groups and events.
