24/7 vs. the Real World 7 comments

24/7 vs. the Real World   In this corner (pan to your right) we have the most magnificent leather clad Mistress, who can dominate her submissive with a single glance. And in this corner, (pan to your left) we have the somewhat harried looking, stressed out, and exhausted woman who just started a new job in the ‘real world’ and feels like she doesn’t have a dominant bone in her body, and doesn’t care to have one. Who will win this battle of strength/exhaustion, or will the two contenders find a way to merge their split personalities? Seriously, though, I feel like I’m torn in in half and must say goodbye to my dominant half because my new job has me crazy busy and completely exhausted 24/7 rather than being the dominant I want and need to be 24/7. Let me add a disclaimer that Beauty does not need to […]


The Daddy/ babygirl Dynamic 30 comments

The Daddy/ babygirl Dynamic This is the first of the guest posts I will be featuring on my blog in an effort to help others understand the dynamics of relationships or kinks people tend to misinterpret. My goal is not to spark debate, though polite comments are welcome. What I want is to increase our tolerance for things we don’t understand. This piece is written by a close friend, RWE. He has a great deal of experience with Daddy Dom/babygirl relationships, and was eager to share his knowledge in an effort to provide a clear and intelligent voice on this often misunderstood relationship.   Did You Call Him Daddy? First I would like to thank two dear friends of mine for giving me the opportunity to write and share my perspective and experience on endearing and beautiful relationship of Daddy/babygirl and its dynamics.  I want to make clear that this is […]


Power Exchange Means Give and Take

Power Exchange Means Give and Take This post has been removed. It is now contained in the book you see above which will be available on Amazon December 2nd, 2013. I apologize for any inconvenience, but I have chosen to combine some of my posts into a book on Domestic discipline. Blurb from Taken in Hand Jolynn Raymond has written a book that shares the details of her own long lasting domestic discipline marriage and her experience surrounding power exchange relationships. It explains why these unconventional relationships work so well for so many couples. The book is an in-depth tutorial that takes the relationship past the simple act of discipline, to building a rock solid foundation that will ultimately create a deep bond of trust and love between those involved. Taken In Hand will guide those interested in adding consensual domestic discipline, dominance and submission, and structure to their own […]


Everybody Has a Dark Obsession. Do You Dare to Live Yours?

Everybody has a dark obsession. Kinky historical romances, Erotic BDSM collections, paranormal historical romances,  A kink friendly blog and weekly BDSM topics presented by a knowledgeable Mistress Jolynn Raymond’s Books Jolynn Raymond’s Dark Obsessions Your source for answers to your kink questions and kinky historical romance needs. As a woman who lives in a power exchange relationship 24/7 and has been in the BDSM lifestyle for over 10 years, it is my goal to educate others about BDSM. Many sites exist that foster stereotypical kinky scenes and relationships, but few provide real information and almost none touch on the importance of trust, communication and safety. No question is foolish. It’s best to be educated before trying a new kink. I have covered the topics of BDSM roles, BDSM terms, domestic discipline, safely finding a dominant, what punishment is all about in a power exchange relationship, kink activities and fetishes, as well as others. I invite both those […]
