I have a site called Queer Pop Culture. As of today.

Quite some time back I moved the entries to a different site. Why I thought having a site using arcane PoMo jargon like proairetic escapes me.

I put QPC on a website parking service and forgot about it for a time.

The original QPC was a mix of notes about what I was reading, watching and listening to and amusing queer stuff found on the web. It grew out of an old blog called Diversions that was part of my original site, Edifying Spectacle (maybe I’ll eventually revive that one).

This morning I told Movable Type to give me a new blog and …

The new QPC will be mostly found stuff I think. It is a pity I’ve never really been the archiving type. I’ve discovered and discarded a huge amount of material over the years. I’d have plenty to populate a few sites had I saved all of that miscellaneous matter.

People ask how I find the time to maintain all my sites. Well, sisters and brothers, I don’t. Take my pop culture sites (please – literally – if you have lots of money to waste and are foolish: buy them).

Queer Pop Culture led to Gay Pop Culture. A few months ago I was startled to discover that I’d added nothing to the latter in a couple of years. So I’m making a point of doing so. GPC is a strong domain name. Someone better than I could make something of it.

An then there is - blush - Sexy Pop Culture. Last year I decided to let it die. But the traffic kept up. Nothing nearly like it was when I inadvertently became one of the top results for Kevin Federline (!). Still, I’m updating it again.

Ah, it was last year that I discovered that Fetish Pop Culture was available. (I only register domains that I think make good site names.) The demon voice whispered in my ear, “Go to Godaddy!” And I did.

By merely keeping the sites alive and periodically adding fresh material there is a chance I could sell the pop culture sites one day. Merely letting a site age invests it with a little value. Or I may have a flash of inspiration and do something cunning and worthwhile with the damned things.

Recently someone left a comment to rather forcibly let me know that he didn’t think the scenario was brutal. My correspondent evidently endures hours of scream worthy corporal punishment.

Hooray for him.

Our bodies and minds aren’t identically constructed. The physiological ability to handle physical pain and the masochistic gift to process it erotically are individual to each of us.

Sure I know many sadists really like masochists who can really take it rough. But the best sadists understand the subjectivity of S&M and that it isn’t an Olympic sport. They can appreciate that for some people thirty minutes with a flogger is the most they can take.

Treating masochism as a competitive event is risky since it can motivate a bottom to try to endure more than he or she should. It can be another form of rape.

‘Manly’ masochists should relish their own capacity but otherwise just shut up.

It seems like if you Google anything fetish you come across, “Down on my Knees,” a blog by a self-proclaimed, “Pansexual Polyfetishist : Alexandra’s Lover, Pet & Slave,” or Richard, if you look hard enough.

Let’s Play 20 Questions with the Blogger from Down on my Knees

Gracie Passette of Sex-Kitten interviewed me. I do wish I’d handled her follow-up questions better.

As fascinating as Richard is, he’s yet to appear here officially at Sex-Kitten. We had to remedy that ~ and quickly.
