Under The Whip

Someone recently asked me a few thoughtful questions, and I figured it was time I finally sat down and shared my heart.

What does Leather mean to me?

What am I looking to gain by being a part of the greater Leather "community?

What do I have to give or offer to the Leather "community?

Leather Is My Life

If you’ve ever wondered what Leather really means to someone living it heart, soul, and skin deep, I’m about to pull you a little closer into my world.

I live proudly and fully as a slave in a Master/slave Full TPE relationship, firmly rooted in the traditions of Gorean philosophy and the greater Leather lifestyle. And when I say it is my life, I don’t mean it lightly. Leather isn’t just something I wear, it is who I am. It is a heartbeat, a calling, a devotion stitched into every part of me.

"What does Leather mean to me?"

To me, Leather means honor. It means service given with pride, obedience offered without hesitation, and the deep, soul shaking joy of knowing my place and living it every single day.

Leather is structure, discipline, and intense intimacy. It is rituals that ground me. It is my Masters' hand at the small of my back, steadying and guiding me. It is the long look of approval when I kneel exactly as expected. Leather is not "play" for me. It is my breathing, my purpose, my worship.

There’s also something unapologetically sexy about Leather. That mix of primal hunger and refined devotion. The way it drips with history and expectation. It is like every time I wear my collar, or polish my boots, or offer myself up in formal service, I'm echoing all the ones who came before me. Their spirits hum through the seams of this life, reminding me that I'm part of something so much bigger than myself.

'What am I looking to gain by being a part of the greater Leather "community?"

Honestly? I crave connection. Real connection. I want to share energy and space with others who get it. Who understand the fire in my belly when I call someone "Sir" or "Master," and really mean it.

I seek mentors, peers, and traditions to honor. I want to learn from those who have walked the path longer than me. I want to strengthen my service by being near other slaves who burn just as brightly, and to deepen my submission by seeing the ways others live it.

And selfishly? I want to feel seen. Fully, vulnerably, honestly seen. I want to offer my heart and my work and my sweat to a community that cherishes Leather values, not just in lip service but in daily action. I want to sit at the boots of those who have earned respect through a lifetime of living true, and drink in every word of their stories.

"What do I have to give or offer to the Leather "community?"

I bring service. And not just service with a smile. Service with heart, with hunger, with meticulous devotion. Whether it is cleaning boots, setting up a dungeon space, supporting event logistics, or kneeling at the feet of tradition, I am here to give all of me.

I bring authenticity. I’m not pretending. I'm not halfway in. Leather isn't a costume for me. It is carved into my soul. I live my protocols daily. I wear my submission openly. I honor my Masters with every breath. That honesty, messy, beautiful, complicated is something I offer freely.

I also bring a deep reverence for the history of Leather. I know I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. I'm not here to reinvent the wheel or slap a trendy label on something ancient and sacred. I’m here to honor the legacy, to learn it, to live it, and to pass it forward when I am worthy.

In the end, being part of the Leather community isn’t just a nice idea or a hobby. For me, it is the living, breathing extension of my slavery. It is where my heart finds home. It is where my service can stretch, grow, and maybe, just maybe, someday be a light for someone else coming behind me.

Because at the end of the day?
Leather isn’t what I do.
It is who I am.

If you could have sex with any celebrity right now, who would it be?

Let’s talk about something just a smidge more entertaining than the latest blockbuster. Celebrity crushes and, yes, the fantasies that swirl around them! The world of Hollywood often serves as a tantalizing playground of charm, beauty, and, let’s be real, an endless array of jaw dropping actors and actresses. But lately, the behind the scenes drama has somewhat dimmed my spark for this glitzy realm. Honestly, my list of dream hook ups has hit a bit of a bump thanks to some celebrity antics that have utterly turned me off. What do you do when your fantasy world intersects with reality?

If I had to pick any celebrity right now to have a steamy rendezvous with, my first thought shifts to Kat Dennings. Have you seen her? With that captivating smile and oh so sultry vibe, she radiates an alluring confidence that’s impossible to ignore. I mean, let’s be real. I’d gladly take a chance to take a bite out of her ass. Figuratively speaking, of course! There's something enticing about her blend of quirky and sexy that really draws me in. Plus, her comedic timing is a total bonus. I can just imagine ourselves sharing laughs over the cutest little dinner while sparks fly, swoon!

Now, let’s pivot to another huge crush of mine: the ever charming James Spader. Yes, please! I would take him in any role, from the edgy character in “Secretary” to the unapologetically suave businessman in “The Blacklist.” There’s just something about that captivating smirk and intense gaze that makes my heart race. James is the kind of guy who exudes an aura of mystery. Perfect for those passionate fantasies. And honestly, can you blame me? His charisma is enough to make anyone weak in the knees! Please light up that Stargate and come to me, James Spader!

While I tend to have a longer list of celebrities I admire, it has become increasingly challenging to engage with them given the current state of affairs in Hollywood. So many have been wrapped up in controversies that it is kind of deflating to my fantasy bubble. I can deal with a little drama in my movies, but when it spills over into reality and tarnishes the glitz, it becomes a massive turn off. The sex points of countless stars I once adored have effectively vanished in the swirling chaos of allegations and scandals.

It is a bummer because before all this, I would have included a host of heartthrobs on my list, but now? My ‘to do’ list is looking a tad bare. It is tough to blend the glimmering allure of stardom with the uncomfortable truths that often lurk behind the scenes.

Would you prefer sex in the bath or sex in the shower?

When it comes to the age old question of whether sex is better in the bath or the shower, I find myself leaning towards a rather unexpected answer, neither. However, if the choice is between the two, I’d definitely pick sex in the bath. Ideally in a luxurious jacuzzi tub or a spacious garden bath.

I have to admit, the idea of sex in the shower seems enticing at first glance. There’s something about the cascading water, the steam, and the notion of intimacy in a confined space that intrigues many. But in my experience, it often feels more like a logistical nightmare than a pleasurable escape. For starters, let’s talk about the space. Showers tend to be cramped, making it difficult to move around freely. With slippery surfaces and water everywhere, the practicalities of finding a comfortable position become more challenging than enticing. Plus, I have a hard time focusing on pleasure when I’m worried about staying upright or managing the water flow.

On the other hand, a bath, especially one that’s spacious and inviting, offers a much more appealing atmosphere. A warm jacuzzi tub filled with bubbles, scented candles flickering nearby, and soothing music playing in the background. This setting promotes relaxation, enhancing the overall experience of intimacy. In a bath, there’s room to stretch out, explore, and savor the sensations, which is crucial for me. I find that it allows more elements that contribute to pleasure, from touch to warmth. Just not room for rough primal sex.

However, the bottom line remains the same. I still struggle to achieve orgasm during these types of encounters. The stimulation I enjoy typically requires a different environment where I can fully engage all my senses, unencumbered by the constraints of water. The slick surfaces, combined with the focus needed to maintain balance in a shower or the constant concern about water temperature and flow in a bath, detract from my ability to fully immerse myself in the moment.

Water can sometimes be a fickle friend when it comes to sexual energy. It can wash away sensations or make it hard to generate the friction necessary for climax. I’m all about enhancing my sexual experiences, and finding a way to incorporate the elements that truly work for me is essential. In my ideal scenario, I prefer settings where I can control the atmosphere, dim lighting, comfortable bedding, and the right temperature. Factors that simply can’t be matched in a bath or shower.

While the romanticized idea of shower or bath sex can be appealing, my personal preference leans toward the bath, if I must choose one. However, I acknowledge that both options come with limitations that can ruin my experience. For me, achieving sexual pleasure is complex, and despite my fondness for a warm soak, I often find that my true pleasure lies in environments that allow complete freedom and sensory engagement.

Are you into dressing up for sex?

There’s something undeniably thrilling about stepping into a fantasy world where lingerie meets roleplay. For me, the rush of dressing up and immersing myself in different characters fuels a passion that extends beyond traditional boundaries. I find immense pleasure in transforming my bedroom into a playground for the imagination, especially when it comes to darker themes that heighten the experience.

One of the most exhilarating aspects for me is when my partners and I engage in CNC scenarios. This may sound intense to some, but the thrill lies in the trust and connection that we build together before exploring the layers of fear play and surrender. There’s a delicious tension in allowing myself to be vulnerable while still feeling safe. The allure of slasher costumes adds an extra layer of excitement to our encounters.

Imagine the lights dimmed low and the atmosphere charged with anticipation. A figure steps into the room, clad in a slasher outfit, Michael Myers, perhaps. The iconic mask not only conceals their identity but enhances their personality, morphing them into someone both fearsome and compelling. There’s a palpable shift in energy when they fully embody the character, heightening the intensity of the scene. Each small movement, the lurking presence, and even the silence amplify the thrill of what’s to come.

Equally enticing are the infamous horror masks that evoke a sense of mystery and danger. Ghostface from “Scream” is another favorite of mine. The mask alone carries an air of tension that makes my heart race. Coupled with the right costume, the mask becomes an invitation to explore deeper fantasies, each moment igniting a sense of urgency and exhilaration. There’s something captivating about the duality of fear and desire, and it creates an intoxicating blend that pulls me deeper into the experience.

Among my top preferences, dressing as a Gorean character offers a thrill unlike any other. The allure of the Warrior caste is irresistibly enticing. The notion of strength, Dominance, and primal instincts draws me in completely. When my partner dons that role, it is as if they are channeling a fierce energy that I can’t help but respond to. The contrast of my delicate lingerie against their powerful presence creates a striking visual that intensifies the entire scene. Especially when the scene is set, being bought at a slave auction.

Not only does the attire play a crucial role, but the psychological aspect is equally significant. The narrative we create together infuses our play with meaning, allowing us to explore boundaries while still respecting each other’s limits. The beauty of roleplay is that it is not merely about the costumes or settings. It is about the trust and creativity we cultivate in our intimate experiences.

The combination of lingerie, costumes, and dark roleplay creates a thrilling escape for me. The excitement of exploring fear play, particularly with characters like the ones I've mentioned, ignites something primal within. It is a captivating blend of fantasy and reality, and in those moments, I feel utterly alive. Each encounter is a unique exploration, one that I look forward to with eager anticipation. So, here’s to embracing the darker sides of our fantasies, and the thrilling narratives that bind us together.

Two Worlds, One Core

In the wide and diverse world of alternative lifestyles, two communities often stand out for their depth, structure, and rich traditions, the Leather Community and the Gorean Lifestyle. At first glance, they might seem like separate worlds. One born out of post world war II culture and LGBTQ+ rights movement. The other rooted in the fictional world of John Norman’s Chronicles of Gor. Yet, when you look closer, you’ll find that they share many principles, values, and protocols that create a surprisingly harmonious overlap.

If you're new to one or both of these lifestyles, or if you're walking the line between them, this post is for you. Let’s explore how these two powerful communities mirror each other, and how understanding both can deepen your journey, no matter your path.

Core Similarities
Hierarchy and Structure

Both the Leather and Gorean lifestyles operate within strict hierarchies that are consensual, deliberate, and honored. In Leather, this often manifests as the Dominant/submissive Master/slave dynamic, where titles such as “Sir,” “Master,” "Mistress", "Ma'am", "girl", “boy,” or “slave” carry weight and purpose. Similarly, Gorean structure follows the Master/kajira paradigm, emphasizing ownership, obedience, and service.

Neither lifestyle is about casual roleplay. Both honor deep structure and discipline as central to the dynamic.

Protocol & Ritual

Whether it is a formal greeting, a collar ceremony, or the precise way a drink is offered, both communities place strong emphasis on protocol. Protocols aren't just rules, they’re acts of devotion, expressions of service, and physical manifestations of respect.

In the Leather Community, protocols are often custom fit to the household or relationship. In the Gorean world, they are more universal, such as specific positions, and commands.

Both honor intentional living through ritual, structure, and training.

Respect, Integrity, and Honor

While Leatherfolk famously live by codes like “Safe, Sane, and Consensual” or “Risk Aware Consensual Kink,” they also hold honor and integrity as cornerstones. Elders are respected, collars are not worn lightly, and trust is everything.

Likewise, the Gorean Lifestyle (especially as adapted for real world consensual practice) places a high value on honor, responsibility, and discipline, both from the Master and the kajira. Honor is not just a virtue, it is expected.

Lifestyle, Not Just Kink

Neither lifestyle is simply a “bedroom game.” Both are 24/7 options for those who choose to live it fully. In Leather culture, this means cultivating a life of service, leather pride, mentorship, and brotherhood/sisterhood. For Goreans, it means living a life based on strength, natural order, obedience, and often, beauty through discipline.

These are not casual scenes. They are lived identities.

Community and Tribe

Both the Leather and Gorean worlds recognize the importance of chosen family, Households, and support networks. In Leather, Houses or Leather Families often serve as mentorship hubs and emotional anchors. In the Gorean world, a Home Stone, House, or even a Caste structure can serve as the center of one's service and allegiance.

Connection is everything. Both groups thrive on shared values, tradition, and mutual support.

Where They May Differ

Of course, not everything is identical. Leather culture has strong roots in LGBTQ+ history and often integrates modern BDSM ethics and safe practices. Gorean philosophy is based on fictionalized ancient customs, with a more romanticized (and at times controversial) take on natural order and slavery.

But even with differences, the ethos of loyalty, service, Mastery, structure, and honor are a shared heartbeat.

Bridging the Two

For those who walk with one boot in the Leather world and one foot on the sands of Gor, it is more than possible to integrate both. Many adapt Gorean protocol into their Leather households. Others bring the emotional depth and inclusivity of Leather into their Gorean training.

The key is authenticity.

Know your values.
Know your reason.
Live it with pride.

The Leather Community and the Gorean Lifestyle are not at odds, they are siblings in spirit. Rooted in power exchange, deep respect, and intentional living. If you honor structure, if you believe in the strength of hierarchy and the beauty of service, you may find that the two worlds are not so different after all.

Whether you walk the Leather path, the Gorean path, or weave between the two. Walk it with honor.

In Love And Fire

A song you’d listen to during soft/slow sex?

Ah, slow sex. It is a concept that sparks differing opinions among us sensual beings. I’ll be honest; I’ve never been one to revel in the gently flowing rhythms of the slow jam when it comes to those passionate moments. I mean, let’s face it, there’s something electrifying about urgency, that exhilarating pulse that quickens the heart and leaves us breathless. But if I had to pick one song that shifts my energy from ordinary to extraordinary, it is “Sacrifice” by Black Atlass and Jessie Reyez.

From the very first notes, this song has a way of capturing me like no other. It is not just about the lyrics or the sultry melodies. It is about the entire vibe that resonates with my innermost desires. This track has a haunting quality, layered with an addictive beat that seems to coax out my more primal instincts. I can’t help but feel a rush of anticipation wash over me as the sounds mingle with the unspoken energy in the room, transforming the air into something palpable and electric.

The true magic happens when I allow myself to sink deeper into the music. It sets the tone for a headspace that embraces pleasure unapologetically. I find myself slipping away from everyday distractions, leaning into that magnetic pull that makes surrender feel like the only option. The artistry of Black Atlass and Jessie Reyez serves as the perfect backdrop for exploring the depths of passion and the delicate balance of desire and submission.

While I’m not particularly drawn to slow sex, the energy that “Sacrifice” sparks makes me rethink that hesitation. Just imagine the intimacy, the connection that deepens as the slow beat, beats like a heart in rhythm with mine. It is almost as if the song is begging for exploration, inviting each sigh and whispered desire to fill the silence with sweet exchanges of pleasure. When I play this track, it is not just background music. It is an anthem of erotic exploration.

What truly captivates me about “Sacrifice” is its ability to transcend the moment and transport me into a euphoric space where my boundaries fade away. It encourages vulnerability, allowing me to embrace not just what I want, but what I crave deeply in that passionate moment. The thrilling dance of power and surrender. To me, that mix is irresistible.

Listening to this song with the right partner, someone who understands the intricate dynamics of pleasure, is transformative. It becomes a shared experience, where each note creates layers of connection, and where every verse resonates with deeper significance. It is not just about the music, it is about creating an atmosphere where desires can flourish and intentions mingle.

“Sacrifice” reminds me that it is not just about the pace of intimacy, but rather the energy we bring to those electrifying moments together. It is about giving in completely, wrapped in soundwaves that echo the desire to explore, to feel, and connect.

A song you’d listen to during hard/rough/kinky sex?

When it comes to intimacy, music plays a crucial role in setting the mood. I’ve curated a massive playlist that fuels my passion and amplifies every sensation. Sometimes we let our playlist flow, other times we hit shuffle, feeling out each song for what it brings to our experience. However, there’s one particular song that stands out for me when it comes to hard, rough, or even playful, kinky encounters. This track has a way of drawing me in and keeping my mind sharp and engaged in the moment. A perfect blend of rhythm and sultry vibes that I can't help but share.

The song I’m talking about is "Touch It" by Monifah. From the very first beat, I can feel the energy shift. The sensual rhythm pulls me right into my headspace, creating that perfect, tantalizing atmosphere. The layers of her voice, combined with the lush instrumentals, establish an inviting but commanding presence that sets the stage for exploration and intimacy. There’s an undeniable confidence in her vocals that resonates deeply. It feels like an invitation to dive into a world of sensation, exploration, and a bit of delicious chaos. Perfect for foreplay and setting that kinky stage.

One of the elements that makes "Touch It" ideal for those more adventurous moments is its pulse. It has a steady tempo that matches the beat of our hearts when passion takes the lead, and it catches all the rawness of desire. For me, the song encapsulates not just the act itself but the emotions and physical sensations that come with it. All the highs and lows, the push and pull. The way Monifah delivers her lyrics feels like an encouragement to surrender to the flow of the moment, to let go of inhibitions, and to embrace the thrill.

As we dive deeper into our desires under the influence of this song, I find that it enhances our connection. The lyrics invite me to not just listen, but to feel, to fully immerse myself in the experience. Music has an incredible power in that way. It resonates with an intimacy that often words alone fail to capture. The right track can turn a moment that's just about physical connection into something profound and electric.

What’s magical about "Touch It" is that, when we put it on loop, it creates a rhythm that we can synchronize with. It almost feels like it becomes the soundtrack of our adventure. We lose ourselves in its beat, allowing it to guide both our movements and emotions. Whether it is an intense, passionate encounter or a playful exploration of boundaries, the way this song plays in the background builds an unspoken agreement between us to explore and push soft limits.

In the end, music is an essential part of my sexual encounters. It evolves with us and enhances our experiences. Finding the right song can transform an ordinary moment into something unforgettable. So if you ever find yourself searching for the perfect atmosphere song during those steamy moments, I highly recommend giving "Touch It" a spin. Who knows? It may just find a special place on your playlist, too. Especially for a night full of lap dances and turning on your sexy mode.

Most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you during sex?

Someone just walking into the room while you're having sex and asking to borrow your porn.

Gas issues during the sex scene. Don't laugh, it happens to everyone.

Using a strap on for the first time and, well, my finding the holes and well my thrust game is not on point. Sorry ladies, I fail as a lesbian top.

Satin, or silk sheets are the devil. Jump into the bed to have sex and slide right off the other side.

We've all experienced moments so embarrassing that they stick with us forever, shaping our narratives in unexpected ways. For me, that moment came at the tender age of nineteen during what was meant to be a thrilling rite of passage: my first experience giving a blowjob.

There’s a certain expectation that surrounds first sexual experiences, especially when they involve oral sex. It is supposed to be sexy, fun, and maybe a little awkward. Just like in the movies. I read countless articles and watched tutorials, convinced I was ready and equipped with the knowledge to impress. Little did I know, nothing could possibly prepare me for what would unfold that fateful day.

As I found myself face to face with my partner, I was both nervous and excited. The adrenaline coursed through me, and I thought, “This is it!” But I soon learned that reality doesn’t always match the idealized scenarios we create in our minds. As I took him into my mouth, my confidence came crashing down. His girth was unlike anything I had imagined, and the second I tried to go deeper, my body reacted. My gag reflex kicked in like a drum solo at a rock concert.

What happened next is a whirlwind of mortification that I’ll never forget. Caught off guard by the sudden surge of nausea, I wasn’t prepared for the towering wave of panic that washed over me. I was completely entrapped, unable to pull away, and before I even realized what was happening, my body revolted. The next thing I knew, I was vomiting, everywhere. On him, on the bed, on the floor, and even a little on myself. It was a full blown catastrophe, as if my body was staging a protest against my attempts at intimacy.

In the chaos that ensued, I saw the look on his face. A combination of shock, concern, horror and a hint of disbelief. I wanted to vanish into thin air. It was as if I had just dropped an atom bomb in the middle of our romantic moment. I scrambled to clean up the mess, my cheeks burning with embarrassment and humiliation. My self image took a nosedive, and I suddenly felt like I’d been thrust into the depths of an unfortunate comedy sketch.

Despite the horror of that moment, it became a turning point in my sexual journey. I realized that sex, in all its forms, doesn’t have to be perfect. It is often messy, both literally and figuratively. It is filled with surprises, and sometimes those surprises come in the form of a gag reflex and a cascade of vomit.

In the months and years that followed, I learned to embrace the hilarity of that experience rather than hiding from it. Although I still chuckle (and cringe) when I think of that dramatic day, I now see it as a reminder that sexual encounters are meant to be real and it doesn't hurt to get a bit more education on the topic beforehand.
