Well said! Sometimes I’ll have an outrageous thought, but before I post it I try to pause and ask myself: Is this serving the community, or am I just venting for my own self-gratification? It’s great to be mindful and take a moment to edit our thoughts so this space stays welcoming for...

Part of being in a kink community is understanding that everyone experiences kink in their own way. It’s perfectly okay to have your own preferences. You’re absolutely entitled to decide what you do or don’t enjoy, what you watch, and what you negotiate with partners. What’s not okay is...

Looks like the event won’t be happening on Sunday. We didn’t quite get the turnout we needed. I just want to thank everyone who expressed interest or helped spread the word. Even though it didn’t come together this time, I still believe this kink deserves a welcoming space on Long Island. I’m...

Just a reminder, if anyone would like to attend this event, and does not use FetLife, the deadline for your RSVP is Sunday, October 5th. If you would like to attend, please send me a DM! Looking forward to this!

For those who do not use FetLife: I will be acting at your liaison with the venue. If you are definitely attending, please send me a PM here before October 5th. I will provide directions to the location to confirmed attendees when I have permission from the venue to do so. I hope this helps.

I will check with the venue and get back to you!

Did you know there’s going to be a tickling event at The Devil’s Lair on Sunday, October 12th? I get it—there’s plenty competing for our attention on Long Island. For example: The Big Duck In Flanders, a 20-foot ferrocement duck looms over Route 24. It’s the perfect spot to ponder life’s...

Exciting News! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be leading a presentation on tickling at The Devil’s Lair in Melville on Sunday, October 12th! The proprietor of The Devil’s Lair is eager to provide a home for the tickle community and even wants the venue to be known as “The New York/Tri-State...

Back in grad school, I worked at a liquor store that carried more than two hundred distinct bottlings of single-malt Scotch. Rows upon rows of bottles, each with its own age statement, its own story, hailing from regions with names so evocative—The Highlands, the Lowlands, Campbeltown, Speyside...

I know I posted about this topic yesterday, but I wanted to share something a little more fleshed out. I originally posted it on FetLife, where I do most of my writing these days. This isn’t exactly a complaint—more of a cathartic vent session, laced with a healthy dose of sarcasm and absurdity...

Thanks so much! That actually sounds kind of amazing—and a solid excuse for a weekend road trip. I’ll definitely look into it. Is there a Fet group or Discord server where these munches get posted? I do have one concern, though: I hope attending doesn’t require me to become a Red Sox fan. As...

Long Island born and raised, currently based in Nassau. I’m in my late 40s—a small business owner, music obsessive, and enthusiastic (if occasionally overambitious) home cook. Lately, I’ve also been diving back into a part of myself I’ve kept tucked away for years: a lifelong, incurable, oddly...

I can’t say I’ve ever been a die-hard fan of professional wrestling — but as a kid in the 1980s, Hulkamania was very real to me. It pulsed through playgrounds and Saturday mornings with the same mythic force as The Force, or the 1.21 gigawatts needed to send a DeLorean hurtling Back to the...

In Season 2, series creator Mike White pivots from the first season’s focus on conspicuous consumption and class warfare to a more operatic, sex-centered narrative steeped in lust, betrayal, and marital gamesmanship. It’s compelling television—elegantly shot locations, sharply written dialogue...
