The APA Paraphilia Subworkgroup agrees:Kinky is not a diagnosis
In the new proposals for the DSM-V, alternative sexual behavior has been depathologized. The American Psychiatric Association’s Paraphilias Subworkgroup’s DSM revisions acknowledge that you can be a fetishist, transvestite, sexual sadist or sexual masochist without having a mental disorder.” Read the rest of the article here For those who don’t know, “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is published by the American Psychiatric Association and provides a common language and standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders.” (Wikipedia)Thursday, 4 March 2010

Bound for more
I am building my repertoire. Along with having fun beating and giving pleasure, pain and discomfort with my various toys and natural gifts, I am expanding it with the use of rope.
I have for a long time already been able to do little very basic knots for tying wrists and ankles. Now I want it to look good and function right when I bound someone. I have friends/know people who are quite the experts in this and I have admired their work for a long time. I don’t want to be just like them. I just want to do well with what I have and want to do.
So now I pick up a workshop and tutorial when they are available and when I can. The difficult thing right now is practicing. I may be able to practice on pet but he is not what I would call an enthusiastic rope bottom. Until I get the hang of things, I may need someone with a lot of patience. Husband has said I could practice on him sometimes. I will be taking him up on that offer.
Mmmm, I’m imagining the additional fun I can have now.

To twat or not to twat...
Technology advances so quickly that our verbs and their related tenses struggle to keep up. Reflect for a moment upon all the new verbs we use. Twitter, “Do you twitter?” Google, “I googled you.” Webster’s, Merriam and their brethren are way behind the vernacular in not only accepting their usage, but also in helping us to determine the past, present, future, subjunctive and conditional forms of all these new verbs. In this chasm is created opportunity; we may now determine via sweeping logic and careful historical research the perfected tense forms of these new verbs.
Allow me to present an example forthwith, using the verb necessitated by the use of the proper noun “Twitter”. Twitter is, of course, originally a verb deriving from the Middle English word twiteren which is itself born of the Germanic verb Gzwitschern. As all right thinking people realize with verbs born of German stock the past tense form often changes the vowel structure of the word. Extrapolating then, if the past tense of “run” is “ran” and the past tense of “swim” is “swam” isn’t it logical to posit that the past tense of “twitter” should be “twat?”

Kinky Is Not a Diagnosis
Hi, sorry for taking last week off. I was with my girl, and frankly got busy with doing things with her. That said, the NCSF has basically declared victory in their efforts to have Lifestyle activities removed from the DSM – V.
For those not familiar with the DSM (the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual), this is the book that the head doctors use when trying to figure out what sort of crazy you are.
Most important, it’s used by doctors to define what’s normal and what’s not. It was the DSM that officially declared homosexuality a mental disorder, and then in 1973 officially undeclared it. It’s defined an ever-expanding range of phobias and addictions that we’re still arguing about, but this time demands for more transparency aim to crack open the window on DSM deliberations, so interested parties can weigh in before they are enshrined, because once they are, the FDA approves drugs to treat them, and any further debate is drowned out in the flood of direct-to-consumer ads.

The NCSF says:
In the proposals for the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual (DSM-V), alternative sexual behavior has been depathologized. NCSF applauds the American Psychiatric Association’s Paraphilias Subworkgroup’s revisions which state that you can be a fetishist, transvestite, sadist or masochist without having a mental disorder. More work needs to be done but this is an important first step!
Finally. I knew I wasn’t that crazy.

Blog News
Hi, everyone. This morning I imported our old blog My Life In Slavery from blogger. That blog covers about a year- from May 2008 to June 2009, I believe. So, if you followed us here from blogger, our old posts are once again available for viewing. If you are new followers of our writing, do check out the archives for our older stuff. Unfortunately, wordpress did not note who the old posts were written by- it assumed they were all by me. So anything you run across that reads differently was probably written by my Master. Enjoy!!!

Hopeful
For the first time in a long time, i am hopeful that i have found a long-term Domme. She is beautiful, close to home, and it would be a real pleasure to serve Her. i auditioned for Her this morning, and i am nervously awaiting my “grade” at this point. i will let you know how that turns out. It was a mostly tame experience, although there were some fairly sexy moments. But no strap-ons or anything like that. As i said, i’m hopeful.

Tuesday? Really?
I love four day work weeks where you THINK it is monday, but really it is Tuesday.
Yesterday was a much needed do nothing kind of day. Master woke up before me (which is incredibly rare!), and when I woke up I mewed from the bed. I usually mew when I’m alone in bed since it happens so rarely, so Master knows I’m awake. After a few minutes he came in, and had a leash. I was totally bleary eyed, and thinking in a lazy sleepy kind of way ”Hmm, play before breakfast, eh? Cool.”
He leashed me, and had me crawl into the bathroom, where he washed me in the tub, then he made me breakfast, which I ate on the floor. <3 I don’t know what I did for him to be so nice to me, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.
The rest of the day was kind of sleepy and awesome. I don’t think I fully woke up until around *4PM* lol! Talk about a sleepy zombie kitty. 
Oh, and one thing we worked on yesterday was getting through episode 4 of the Star Wars movies. One of my Day Zero goals is to watch every Star Wars movie once. To be honest, I’ve never really been able to get into them. Finally, Master showed me episodes 1-3, which made it a bit easier to follow along with the story in episode 4. I know that’s not the way they came out, but I just couldn’t get through episode 4. I found that episodes 1-3 were alright, fun to watch, but so NOT subtle at all. Hello! You don’t need to beat me over the head with the plot, I swear I’ll get it by watching. *Ahem.* Anyway, last night I finally watched all of episode 4. It was OK. I didn’t hate it. I think the problem for me is that the special effects are obviously so dated now. That might sound like a silly reason to hate a movie, but I have friends who have been trying to get me to watch Clerks for a long ass time, and I just can’t get through the opening because it is black and white. Lol! I know I’m letting a lot of good movies go unwatched though, and I want to at least be able to sit through all the Star Wars before I go on hating it. Can’t hate something you haven’t seen all the way, I think.
Mew mew mew.
