Updates From THE CAGE Team

We're excited to announce the release of a new feature we've been working on for some time:  THE CAGE BDSM Checklist! 

The BDSM Checklist allows you to indicate your level of interest in roughly a hundred kinky activities, with five options from "Into" to "Absolutely Not".  Before starting the Checklist you'll be given the option to rate activities from a dominant or submissive position or a combination of the two.  We appreciate not everyone fits exactly in to a dominant or submissive role.  These terms are used only to indicate how you may (or may not) enjoy an activity, regardless of how you identify D/s wise.  

There are three "audience" options for your Checklist:  "Me Only", "Registered Users Only", or "Public".  If your Checklist is public, there's an option to "share" your checklist across other platforms.  You can also delete, reset, or edit your Checklist at anytime.

A BDSM Checklist is a great tool for sharing a bit about yourself with other users or for negotiating activities and limits with a partner.  You may also find it's something you keep for yourself, using the Checklist as a tool for self exploration.  However you decide to use it, we hope you'll find it beneficial.

Your BDSM Checklist is conveniently situated in the drop down menu (or the drop down menu under your name on your desktop). You'll find other BDSM Checklists in user profiles.

We hope you enjoy this new feature on THE CAGE!

Until next time...

We've recently added another article to our BDSM 101 series, focusing on Keeping Safe, both online and off.  Share your suggestions and other responses in the comment section or better yet, add your opinion piece to Advice & Tips from THE CAGE Community. Everyone is invited to contribute.

Look for more BDSM 101 in the coming months as well as new articles geared towards the more experienced practitioner.  Watch this space!

We have a brand new article in THE CAGE Magazine:  BDSM 101!  This is an introduction to BDSM and kink, perfect for those just starting out.  To our many experienced practitioners, we hope you'll chime in with your comments or perhaps consider adding your Advice & Tips to THE CAGE Magazine.  Everyone is welcome to contribute.

BDSM 101 is an umbrella piece under which we will publish a series of articles covering BDSM "basics".  We'll also continue to focus on more indepth topics including some deep digs in to complex aspects of kink and fetish.  Keep your eye on THE CAGE Magazine!

Our new Magazine article explores the difference between punishments and "funishments" and also includes some great ideas to explore!  Check it all out here.  Please share your own thoughts and punishment/funishment ideas in the comments section.

Don't forget you can post your own writing to THE CAGE Magazine including erotica, experiences, advice, tips, and more!  

Thank you to our awesome members for being a part of a wonderful 2021! We wish you all a safe and happy festive season with good health and prosperity for the coming year and beyond.

AND...we're celebrating the festive season with 25% off Gift Premium memberships until end of day December 26th.  Just visit a profile and click the "Gift Premium" button.  FYI if you do not see the Gift option the profile owner has deactivated this option.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Some of you may have noticed that we locked the game threads in The Discussion Forum yesterday.  The games can be great fun, however they did sometimes overwhelm the discussion topics.  So we've come up with a solution that creates a separate yet prominent area for games and other light hearted content while keeping the discussions front and centre.  You'll now notice three tabs under the "Forum" heading:  "Categories", "Just For Fun", and "Post New Topic".  

We hope this will be an easy to use and positive solution for all.

Follow this blog for CAGE updates.

Until next time...
