Maui BDSM

On Saturday, August, 14th, we will be hosting workshop on how to get what you want in the world of BDSM. If you have been curious or looking to expand your options, we will be talking about how to explore some of those darker erotic desires in a fun and safe way.

We will briefly go over some terms and definitions. We will cover negotiation tips and protocols, along with how to attract the right kind of attention. There is more than one way to go from wanting something to getting it. By the end, we hope to have unmasked some of the mystique of it all and shown some new ways to spice up an existing partnership, or find spicier partners in the future.

Since communities like ours make it dramatically easier to find people who are willing to do the naughty things that you want to do, we will also spend some time on how our community works, as well as what to expect from kink communities elsewhere.

In the past we have had a policy that anyone drinking at play events should simply not play. Everyone did a great job of self policing and it worked well for a smaller group. Now that we have more people, it has gotten more complicated. We have decided that it is better to adopt a policy that does not allow any alcohol consumption at or before play events. For social events, it is still up to the host whether to allow it, so in most cases alcohol will still be welcome at BBQ's, dinners, movie nights, and other social stuff.

The twice monthly Wednesday evening gatherings being held by Jim & Elon are suspended for now, unless somebody else would like to continue with this event. Or maybe you would like to start a new event of your own... Anyway, Elon will be off island for quite some time and I've decided that in the absence of her physical presence & support that I'm taking a break.

For a couple of reasons, I have deactivated email notifications from this site. The main reason is that spammers seem to have found us, and they are posting spam to our forums. It is easy enough to just delete the spam posts, but with the automatic notifications turned on, everyone has already gotten their spam in email. The other reason is that Hotmail and Yahoo consider all email from this site to be spam anyway, and I am hoping if we don't send email for a while, they will forget about it. Then maybe a revamped notification thing can be put in place.

As a community, we are able to pool our resources and knowledge and experience things that we are unable to as individuals. This month MauiBDSM will have two world renowned educators in the BDSM community travel to teach classes on Maui, something some of us would only be able to attend by traveling to the Mainland. There is also the added pleasure of being a part of a group or Ohana that we can relax and be ourselves knowing that most believe in "my kink is okay, your kink is okay"
