Former CV President-of-Vice Bootblacks in Boston

Kyle, CV’s former President of Vice before yours truly, is participating in the Mr. Boston Leather contest as Judge’s boy.

[Kyle] is currently an associate brother in the New York boys of Leather, after being a full brother for a year and a half. From 2005-2006 he served as the Vice President for Conversio Virium, the BDSM discussion/education group of Columbia University. Kyle moved to Boston at the end of August and has started working as a bootblack at the Ramrod. While his primary D/s relationship is with Northeastern University’s School of Law, he still finds time to engage in extracurricular activities.

Just feast your eyes on all that sexy leather. If you’re going to be in the area, wish him luck from all of us here in New York!

DSF meeting: Caning—Beyond the Basics

This Friday, DomSubFriends is hosting Mistress Coraline as she presents an intermediate to advanced class on caning.

You’ve learned the rules, now it’s time to get creative. We’ll talk about different kinds of canes, different positions to use, creative targets to hit, and roleplays to incorporate. We’ll also touch on how to make your own rattan canes. And best of all a super hot demo to top it all off.

Mistress Coraline, by the way, is a graduate college kinkster having been the president of NYU’s (unfortunately now defunct) BDSM club, WHAP, for two years. Here’s a 2003 NYU News article about WHAP, in case you’re interested.

Also, regardless of what university your college ID says you go to, don’t forget about Boymeat’s Caning 101 presentation this Monday at Conversio Virium!

Dark Odyssey Summer Camp 2007

If you’ve not yet heard of Dark Odyssey, it’s description is mesmerizing.

Imagine a vacation where you can explore the many facets of sexuality in a private, intimate community of like-minded people. A wholly unique experience which brings together sexuality, spirituality, education, and play in a fun, supportive, non-judgmental, diverse environment where fantasy becomes reality.

Dark Odyssey is a 4-6 day, all-inclusive, clothing optional Alternative Sexuality retreat for open-minded adults from all walks of life. We gather to explore, learn and play on two hundred very private and secluded acres in Northern Maryland.

However, registration for Dark Odyssey’s Summer Camp is nearing a close so register now if you can make it this season. If not, there’s always next year. :)
