WHAT IS A ‘POWER DYNAMIC’?

sky background with question marks that says Umm... what?

I use the phrase ‘power dynamic’, or just ‘dynamic’ a lot in my articles, because when it comes to BDSM relationships, power and who holds it, is a huge part of everything. When you submit, you choose to give up your power to a dominant partner. When you enter a D/s relationship you are entering a power exchange where you negotiate which partner holds the authority and what the limits of that authority would be.

But recently in a book group I saw someone ask what the phrase ‘power dynamic’ meant. I realized I’d never really defined it here.

RAWHIDE CONTEST AND OTHER NEWS!

First of all, I know I’ve been slacking this month. Octobers are always busy for me, and I’ve got a lot of work on my plate. I am working on a few articles but none of them are the quick and easy sort, so they are on the back burner for the moment.

But I did have some fun news!

The Rawhide Ranch universe, in which I now have two DDlg books, is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a contest!

It’s Rawhide Ranch’s 5 year anniversary and we want YOU to celebrate! Enter to win a Special Edition Hardback of Hayleigh’s Little Halloween, plus over 30 ebooks from some of your favorite Rawhide Ranch Authors.

ENTER HERE—-> https://rawhideranchseries.com/giveaway/

By signing up you’ll be agreeing to join the newsletters of the authors involved, like me! It’s a pretty simple process. I believe all of the authors write DDlg, so most of the prize books will be that genre. So, if you love Daddy Doms and Littles you should be happy with this.

And in other news, don’t forget the next Dirty Daddies anthology, Monster Daddies is coming out very soon! These aren’t your normal Daddies. They are supernatural, paranormal, and/or Monster Daddies!

I have a Mothman story in it that I absolutely loved writing, and I hope you’ll love it too. It’s currently at a discounted price for pre-order. Once it goes live the price will go up so I’d grab it now. You can find it here: https://books2read.com/monsterdaddies

HELP FOR THE HELPLESS SUBS (AND EVERYONE ELSE)

Let me start by saying that BDSM submissives aren’t really helpless. In fact, some of the strongest people I know are submissives, and they are real fighters. Being submissive never automatically means you need someone to take care of you. I know submissives who run companies, who are lawyers, doctors… so yeah, your orientation in the D/s world really doesn’t affect how strong you are, or your ability to take care of yourself.

However, for certain people, submission goes beyond a D/s dynamic. It’s their core personality, and that may, or may not, be combined with a D/s orientation.

CONTACT ME? UM…

sky background with question marks that says Umm... what?

This is a really weird post to have to make, and it’s only going to affect a few people– who probably won’t even read it, but I’m going to try anyway.

So, I get a lot of emails from readers. Because of the nature of this blog, people don’t always like to comment publicly, which I understand. WordPress also doesn’t let you like/comment unless you have an account with them and people don’t want to go through the trouble, which I also get. And then, you have readers who have personal things to say and want privacy.

That’s all fine and I have a ‘Contact Me’ option specifically for these people. However… sometimes people use it for other reasons. Just so we’re clear…

I am not looking to spank you.
I am not looking to be spanked by you.
I’m not looking for a Master.
I am not looking for a sub.
You cannot pay me to Dominate you.
I’m not looking for a sugar situation.

Also… just so you know… If you try to troll me by sending ‘adult comments’ and putting in an email address that clearly isn’t yours, in hopes that I’ll reply to a company or government department with something inappropriate… you should be aware that emails through ‘contact me’ include your I.P. address and general location.

There’s no way to accidentally put in an address like that. It has to be typed in manually. So, if, for instance, you send me an e-mail saying, “are you going to spank me daddy?” and you put the return as a .gov email address of a Utah courthouse… you are making some risky choices.

If the general email box at a courthouse got an angry e-mail from me, in response to someone who used their address… they would probably want to know who was using their email. And I would absolutely turn over that information, because I have very little patience with trolls.

This blog is a labor of love. I do it because people find it useful, but it costs me a lot of time, money, and energy to maintain. So, please respect my time and don’t play games.
