Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:11:54 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/323028/ Hello there :) Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:12:39 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/322541/ What would you like or enjoy as the other side of the D/s, M/s role than your usual role? What would you hate? Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:35:34 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/320850/ I am happy to announce that the venue for the next O&P Open in Manchester has been booked! The event will be held on the afternoon of Saturday 11th February 2012 in the same place as before, Taurus Bar, 1 Canal Street, M1 3HE. Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:56:50 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/318433/ I recently read a text that made me shiver. To be exact, it was a blog entry by a female, that was given the "task" to actively try to seduce a (vanilla) co-worker. Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:58:21 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/318425/ I am looking for recommendations on books about behaviour modification. I want to learn to develop any possible future sub and myself to try and reinforce any d/s dynamics, set rules, enforce them fairly, and generally create a stable household dynamic. Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:42:48 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/318019/ This is prompted by curiosity and for discussion, rather than a need for advice for anything that is happening in my relationship. I say this because often when posts are made, they can be interpreted as simply asking for help, which is not what is required here (for me anyway!). Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:51:24 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/317895/ For many months now I have been thinking about a way to get an O&P event going for everyone and anyone interested in O&P. I have several reasons for wanting to do so, but I'm not very good at explaining my thoughts so please bear with me! Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:01:53 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/317378/ Reactance is an emotional reaction in direct contradiction to rules or regulations that threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. In O&P relationships the submissive is subject to the dominants decisions. Sometimes the dominant will decide to restrict freedoms the submissive is used to. This can lead to all sorts of physical reactions - positive and negative - but i want to ask about the emotional ones; the reactance.

The formula is pretty simple and you just need to book a private room somewhere. The basement of Taurus did work well (and is now to be used for the Rope Jam peer workshops.) Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:44:05 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/313654/ I am interested in developing a protocol that will form the framework for a Ds/Ms relationship. I think that this would be helpful in setting out the basis of that relationship, in terms of rules and behaviours for the sub, and the Dom's responsibilities. For me it would be helpful in clearly defining the relationship and my expectations of the sub.

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:54:56 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/313528/ From the Manifesto: Fri, 02 Sep 2011 10:03:32 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/313180/ As some poeple may recall, I said after the last London O and P event that I was keen to hand it on to someone else to coordinate and as I am now departing from IC shores for a while. I'd like to hand it over now. Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:57:11 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/309779/ How do you feel interacting with other people's owners and other people's property? Do you have a way of recognising their position? Do you treat them all equally? Do you worry you ever step on people's toes? Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:10:37 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/309575/ I feel quite isolated at the moment and feel very down about it and just wondered if others feel more or less the same... Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:07:58 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/309178/ for the first time, since we began our journey almost three years ago, we are finally living together without the lucrative lure of contracts on the other side of the world or untimely immigration issues. As part of my adjustment to the non-working world, Master has implemented 'slave immersion' - one of the criteria being that when with him, i only use 'slave speak' - referring to myself in the third person.

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:07:30 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/307699/ From the Manifesto: Sun, 19 Jun 2011 22:40:31 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/307407/ At the Manchester O&P Open yesterday we talked about one of totallycoverme's topics, asking whether anyone had written a household manual:
