Community Voices
It is our desire to create a diverse, non-judgemental and expansive environment for those
within the Gothic and Fetish communities.  A place where you can share your views, address
your concerns, share your original literature or just provide others with a review of a book,
band, film etc. Ideally, through the written contributions of those who pass through this portal
together we will amass a large collection of information available to all.

We believe that our dear friend and staff writer Pitt has illustrated this in his thoughts about a
personal experience.
Contributing your words is simple you may email us or use the submission form and there are few restrictions to
what is acceptable for inclusion. Subject matter must be at least remotely Goth or Fetish related. This being said
we are all multifaceted beings not limited by the boundaries of those labels. If you disagree with another author
don't berate them, instead write an alternate view to be placed in contrast to what you do not agree with.
As I thought about what I was going to write about this week it became apparent that I had nothing really to
say,then it hit me. Sometimes in writing you just have to look back and find something to say so here it goes .....

I have a close friend that I love to talk to, be with when I can, and in a sense I love her dearly.  She's in the lifestyle
as well.  Her choices as of late aren't to my liking.  But who am I.  

Does one deny the fact that not everyone agrees with the lifestyle choices others make??? I think this is an
important question everyone should ask themselves.  Within the "community" you have pain junkies, gang
bangers, leather and PVC lovers etc.  Does that make the community itself have to dislike one another??? I had
to ask this question to myself.  I found an amazing result. There are things inside the "community" that I resent
and/or dislike but does that mean I hate the people who do those things???  Then I looked back at my friend. I
cant hate her. I love her as a dear friend hell we dated for a short period.

My point this week is simple.  We as a BDSM community; just like any other community, are going to run into
things we simply don't agree with. But because we don't agree with it doesn't mean we have to dislike the people
involved.  Don't get me wrong here however if someone was to hurt my friend badly enough that she came to me
in tears all hell would break lose. But that being said I hope within the "community" that we understand there are
no enemies there just people trying to fulfill there deepest fantasies,wants and desires .....  Who am I ..... to
judge???
