Dear Simon:
Yes, I enjoy playing with blindfolds and hoods, but not all the time. Some people fall more quickly into a submissive state when the dominant senses of sight and hearing are muffled or blocked completely. Within moments, other senses are sharpened, allowing for intense sensation play, even when pain is not [...]

Dear Pervert:
Fantasizing about having sex with much older women or exposing yourself to young girls does not necessarily make you sick. Acting on those fantasies is another matter. It is not illegal or immoral to be aroused by “old ladies,” but it is illegal to force yourself on them if they are [...]
