Dom Butch
“This is the website of an old school leatherdyke Master. There is nothing titillating on this website. It's simply the facts, history and views I was taught by my Mentor and what I try to live by. It's not the truth handed down by the Gods of Leather.”
Kinkly.com
“Sex is a bit like a secret society; everyone's doing it, it's just that no one talks about it. Kinkly's mission is to start that conversation, answer your questions and help you discover new and exciting things about sex, love and your body. We guarantee it'll be illuminating, enlightening, fun ... and a little kinky. And that's OK with us.
No innuendos, no judgments and no apologies, just fearless, straight-up talk about sex.”
Kink Abuse
“Kinkabuse.com’s focus is primarily for the BDSM community. However we hope to offer educational resources for every community, straight , LGBTQ or kinky, Anywhere there are questions about abuse, we hope to be able to provide some help in getting those questions answered.
