| 29 Aug 04 | MUD and Pride | (3 Sep 04, 9:13 PM by Tanos) |
| Yesterday lili and I went in to Manchester to watch the
(Gay, Lesbian, Bi and Trans)
Pride March. lili
has
written
a bit about her feelings about the March itself already,
but I want to add a bit, and also say something about
the M.U.D. BDSM venue in central Manchester that we also
went to see. [more...]

| 13 Jul 04 | Making an arse of yourself in weblogs - a request | (13 Jul 04, 4:10 PM by Tanos) |
| Please, please, please don't discourage people from
displaying their worst qualities, their petty vendettas,
their gossipy bitching etc in weblogs. Public forums
have an important Darwinian function in BDSM, as they
limit the ability of idiots to attract partners and
breed more idiots. So let them get on with it. Thankyou. [more...]

| 12 Jun 04 | Club Lash returns | (12 Jun 04, 10:19 AM by Tanos) |
| Club Lash returned to
central Manchester last night after last years venue
problems at the Green Room. They've moved to the 2nd
Friday (rather than Saturday as before) and to a smaller
venue, but after last night's event, lili and I have no
complaints at all. [more...]

Entertainingly, recent weblog posts by "members"
montfort, ramrod, whipscross and evilgreen are all being

| 23 May 04 | Fake mails from tanos_ic@yahoo.co.uk | (23 May 04, 3:54 PM by Tanos) |
| If anyone who writes a weblog here gets a mail from
tanos_ic@yahoo.co.uk claiming to be me, I'd be grateful
if you forward it to my real email address, the only one
that I use, Tanos@tanos.org.uk - thanks |
| 21 May 04 | Old Guard and Ancient European Houses | (22 May 04, 7:28 AM by enslavement) |
| Recently, there seems to have been a sudden outbreak of
discussion about
modern day members of the "Old Guard" or earnest claims
about Ancient
European Houses of D/s. Under closer inspection, the
claimants retreat into
quite innocuous statements, but it still makes you ask
why the extreme
claims in the first place, even if they're not defended
when challenged? [more...]

dad in this post. I've accepted it and moved on.)
Yesterday, someone very kindly pointed out that the TS
monogram that I've been using in the footers of my
webpages since 1997 has another meaning... [more...]

| 8 May 04 | Nemesis II | (10 May 04, 8:50 PM by Tanos) |
| Last night lili and I finally made it to Nemesis. We
were both deeply impressed to put it mildly. A huge
amount of effort has clearly been put into the whole
experience, and the attention to detail throughout is
striking. Above all, it is a welcoming, BDSM orientated
event with a minimal of rules and fuss. [more...]

| 22 Apr 04 | IC Members' Galleries and BDSM Rights | (3 May 04, 9:18 PM by Tanos) |

including member galleries, which allows anyone with an
IC membership to upload sets of pictures. I'm also
making www.BDSMrights.com public, which is a site
intended to publicise the idea of BDSM Rights. [more...]

IC now has two new features. [more...]

| 7 Mar 04 | LifestyleUK munch and party | (7 Mar 04, 10:02 AM by Tanos) |
| lili and I had a great time: friendly munch as always;
looks like we had to miss what was another ingenious
demo; and we had a lot of fun at the party (in which I
"marked" our anniversary )
|
| 5 Mar 04 | Tanos and lili: four years on | (5 Mar 04, 11:06 PM by Tanos) |
| Today is the fourth anniversary of the first time lili
and I met. We've both come a long way - in our
relationship and in the rest of our lives. I knew
straightaway that I wanted to make lili my own, and I've
never looked back. [more...]

| 5 Mar 04 | Sex on the (female) brain... | (5 Mar 04, 9:59 PM by enslavement) |
| There's been various bits of coverage recently of
Pfizer's conclusion that their Viagra drug doesn't
really help women, observing that women's sexuality
places far more emphasis on the mental rather than the
physical. [more...]

| According to the Durex Global Sex Survey for 2003 (!),
38% of UK respondents had tried handcuffs or bondage to
enhance sex - higher than any of the other countries
represented. They say "more than 150,000 lovers
worldwide took part in what we believe is the largest
ever online survey exploring sexual attitudes and
behaviour across the globe." [more...]

| 1 Mar 04 | Grounding lili | (1 Mar 04, 11:03 PM by Tanos) |
| If you ask me, one of the best things about the BDSM
label is the way it connects the related B&D, D/s and SM
elements. It was originally coined to sidestep deciding
which is which, and just lumps them all together so you
can refer to the whole lot. What's reminded me of it's
other feature - this connectedness - is the positive
effect B&D and SM can have on the more D/s aspects of a
relationship. [more...]
