We’ve almost made it through January—hang in there! To help you get through, we’ve got some intriguing reading and updates to share.

First up, check out our brand new article in THE CAGE Magazine: Blackmail Play Uncovered! This is a tricky topic, so we’ll start with a disclaimer: REAL BLACKMAIL IS ILLEGAL ALMOST EVERYWHERE, even if all parties consent. That said, if the idea intrigues you, you want to explore a little roleplay, and you’re committed to keeping yourself and your partners safe, this article is a must-read.

For our Premium members, you can now make your blog visible or hidden anytime you like. We’ve also made uploading images for blogs simpler than ever. And for all users, the Find Friends search now supports multiple selections, making it easier to connect with others.

And here’s my usual reminder: upgrading to Premium is a fantastic way to support our community plus you get loads of amazing features in return.  Find out more about upgrading here.

Until next time....

We're heading in to mid-November with the first in our three part 'Deeper'  penetration series in THE CAGE Magazine: Go Deeper With Strap On Play.  This brand new article has tips for harness and dildo selection, as well as practical recommendations and play ideas.  It's a handy resource for both the experienced player looking to give it another go or those looking to try it out for the first time.  Don't miss it!

We're also pleased to share a couple of site updates.  We've expanded our 'Block' feature so that blocked users can no longer view your profile or see your blog.  You can learn more about how 'Block' works by visiting our Help section.

We've also added tags and search to our Magazine.  This will make finding articles that interest you even easier.  We have some amazing resources there that you really shouldn't miss.

Until next time...

Polyamory can give you a sense of freedom and excitement, as well as new paths for personal growth.  It also asks for clear communication, self-awareness, and hardcore emotional honesty  And of course, consent - it's not polyamory if everyone hasn't agreed to it.  This time in THE CAGE Magazine, we look at what it means to open your relationship and consider whether this kind of dynamic feels right for you.

We’re excited to let you know that Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is now rolling out on THE CAGE.  2FA gives your account an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. Even if someone ever learns your password, they won’t be able to sign in without also confirming through 2FA. Making your account, messages, and personal information safer.

When you sign in and enter your password, you’ll receive an email with a secure link and a 6-digit code. Just click the link or enter the code to complete your sign-in. It’s quick, easy, and helps verify it’s really you. Once confirmed, your device will be remembered for about 90 days, so you won’t need to repeat the process every time.

You’ll only be asked for 2FA again if you sign in on a new device or if it’s been a while since your last confirmation.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or run in to any issues.  

Until next time...
