Today It's The International BDSM Day

Congratulations to every kinkster out there, today it’s the International BDSM Day, 24/7 2010!

There’s a lot of things going on all around the world during this day, people get together to have fun and celebrate this day in different ways.

Me and Little Snowpaw are going to get together with a bunch of other people in a nearby town in a park to have a nice picknick with some good food and some wine.

Hold on before you think “Well, wine and cheese – That’s not very BDSM”, I’m not done yet.

I’m actually going to wear my leather pants and my leather shirt, which is my usual stuff that I wear during gatherings. Yes, I know – leather pants and shirt isn’t BDSM in itself.

Who do you think is writing this? I’ve been rambling in certain posts about that it isn’t your leather gear that turns you into a good Dominant, it’s the mindset. But nonetheless, I do love my leather pants, we have a special relationship and I promised to take them out for a nice time today. The leather shirt is a newcomer in our relationship, so she is just tagging along.

Enough about the leather gear and meeting up with fellow kinksters, we are actually going to have some competitions as well. Target practice with a single tail is one of the things we are going to compete in. I believe that this is the thing that actually makes the whole thing into a BDSM-related event.

A while back we posted a poll with some questions about what people were going to do on this glorious day and we got a great response!

[poll id=”22″]

Let me just do a quick break down of the results.

We had 136 people voting in this highly scientific poll, we spread the questions so they would cover both Dominants and submissive as well as a few other kinky practices out there.

The most voted for alternative was “I’m gonna push the boundaries of my submissive in celebration of this glorious day” which tells us that most participants in this poll were Dominants. Our second conclusion to this is that most Dominants are control freaks, because who would otherwise plan ahead for two months that they were going to push the boundaries of their submissive? The poll has been online for almost two months and the first answers we got were in this category.

This was followed by “I’m going to obey my Master/Mistress in ways I’ve never done before” as a good second. Now, this one got us a little bit worried because we couldn’t believe our own eyes. We were under the impression that all submissives out there being owned were already doing everything to obey their Masters and Mistresses in unimaginable ways. This answer is a proof that this isn’t the case and we are convinced that you will all get spanked for your lack of ambition – Shame on you all!

“I’m going to spend the whole day in restraints” came in on third place” and we feel sorry for all of you that might end up in this situation because that means that you will have a hard time going to the bathroom or participate in any events where you have to drive in order to get there if  you are the designated driver. But you can try driving with you hands cuffed behind you back, a steering wheel might be good as a sort of improvised ball gag if you try to control the car with your mouth. If you get pulled over by the cops, then you while have a wonderful opportunity to upgrade your restraints – To a straight jacket.

On fourth place we have “I’m gonna spend the whole day training my submissive” which is a really nice thought but it sounds like there are some people out there who are just seeing a good BDSM session as another day at the work. We do know that some submissives are high maintenance and can run down even the most experienced Dominant, but when boredom sets in you need to do something else to get the energy back. Start by harassing your neighbour’s dog or just randomly smack the heads of little children in Walmart or why not steal their candy? That should probably fire up that ol’ mean streak and you might want to change your answer into “I’m gonna push the boundaries of my submissive in celebration of this glorious day” intead.

The answer coming in as a good fifth was “I’m going to watch Oprah Winfrey as I don’t do BDSM“. Yeah right, you could have fooled us! Our only response to this is; Don’t lie to yourself, you are more hardcore than you want to admit to. Watching Oprah Winfrey is a very masochistic habit and we consider this to be one of the edgiest edge play out there. Fucking perverts!

The last answer was answered by one person, “I’m gonna stay in bed with a leather hood on waiting for the darn thing to be over”. This is even more masochistic than watching Oprah. Imagine laying there in bed, consciously tormenting yourself with thought like “when is the darn thing over?” or “Is it over yet?”. Imagine constantly watching the clock, being ready for play with your leather hood on, just waiting for the time to pass by. That is pure and utter evil and it’s not even perverted, it’s unhealthy.

So what is the conclusion that I’m trying to point out with this post?

It’s the International BDSM Day, have fun, spend it together with friends and don’t take yourself too seriously!
