A while ago, I learned a life lesson from my motorcycle. I had been struggling to keep my speed up in curves. Every time I came upon one, I tensed, I rolled off the clutch and I got ready to brake. I’d been given a lot of helpful advice from my partner. Lean the bike. Look where you are going …
The timing of this being published is somewhat ironic, given that the ongoing pandemic has shut down MVK until we can gather again in large groups.

I was joined with Claire Pollock, producer of The Dirty Betty show and we had a really great conversation about the fear associated with …

If you (also) have no idea who he is, Wikipedia tells me that Gavin Crawford is a Canadian comedian and actor, who was born and …
Scott Knight and I have been teaching our Pevertables 101 class at Taboo for the past few years. This year, our friend Ira captured a photo of us. In the kink community, there are not a lot of opportunities to have photos taken, so we were pretty thrilled to get this one!
BDSM and Kink Makes the Rounds in a Grand Way! I was honoured to speak at the Grand Rounds with the BC Center for Disease Control, along with Victor and Chase. Below is a video of the session, along with the press release that accompanied it. I do want to say that I made a mistake in my use of …
