I’m Picking Up Good VIBErations

Something new has just been launched over at sextoys.co.uk.  It’s the Vibe, their social network community site and it’s buzzing.  I registered there the and found the process of setting up a profile straightforward, quick and easy.

Within minutes I completed my personal information, loaded up my naughty little avatar and was checking out what was on offer.

The Vibe is a bright and cheerful place where you can share information with fellow members via the forums or create a personal blog and if you aren’t interested in contributing to the wealth of information over there you can simply read the features and forum entries.

They encourage the use of video too, It’s possible to add your own videos and also comment via video which is an unusual concept and one I haven’t encountered before on similar sites.

Or why not have a chat in one of their chat rooms, meet new friends and share ideas.  With subscribers world wide you are bound to meet someone with similar interests to yours.

You may have a personal question you cannot confide in anyone else, no problem you can ask their resident Sexpert Rachel Foux.  The Vibe has covered every angle, it’s like Cosmopolitan only better because you get to interact and become part of the action.

The Vibe also offers regular contributors the chance to collect points which can later be exchanged towards products in their store.  So what do points make?…

…Prizes!

I’m going to be spending a lot of time over there so why don’t you join me by clicking here.

Submissive Guide

Luna, the creator of SubmissiveGuide.com has been an active member of the online adult blogging community for as long as we can remember. She has been a full time submissive since 2004 and because of this has a deep understanding of her own journey into submission and an insight into the path of others from the vanilla to D/s.

The design of the site is clean and easy to read. It has a magazine style feel which makes it friendly and presents the rapidly growing list of articles in a clear and accessible way.

If you’re interested in submission out of curiosity or feel that you may want to submit The Submissive Guide already has a wealth of information for you to read and references to external sources.

So where does all this information come from, Luna’s answer to that question was characteristically self-effacing “I do not intend to provide all the articles myself because I do not know everything and I would prefer to have experienced submissives write about things they know. As the site matures I will be asking for guest bloggers to donate articles to the Guide.”

Luna has a great deal of enthusiasm for the site, one of the reasons we can see it developing far beyond its current form. As she says “After the site matures and I have a decent following I will grow to my next step which is mentorship on a one on one basis about specific activities for a consultant fee. My grand intention is to create certification programs and training classes online as a weekly newsletter, with activities and exercises that they will need to turn into me to get credit. I will be a mentor to whomever wants to join one of the email-driven classes.”

One of the reasons for Luna’s vigour when it comes to developing and mentoring others venturing into a submissive lifestyle may be what she says about her own journey “Because of the knowledge of all the other submissives and Dominants that are online I have been able to develop my own opinions and open mind about a variety of subjects. Master has cultured my desire to learn a lot of different things, including different protocols and developing rituals. My blog has aided me in learning more about myself and has been a jumping off point for more growth.”

Finally I put it to Luna that sites seem to take on a life of their own as they develop and asked her how she saw The Submissive Guide developing through 2009. “Well it really depends on how much work I put into the content, if I can get advertisers, development of the consultant part of the site and then ultimately the online newsletter classes. I think 2009 will be about writing what I know, getting guest bloggers to write about what they know and also getting my name on other sites so that they can learn about my site.”

This is going to be a site to watch. Luna’s genuine insight and passion for the subject matter has to be a winning combination and we’d suggest that anyone who wants to contribute get in touch using the contact form here or the email address on it.
