A Masochistic Lesbian Slave
This category lists all the posts I’ve written in relation to Queer/lgbtq+ matters. You’ll find my own personal experiences navigating life as a lesbian as well as a list of queer literature I’ve set up as a resource. Please let me know if you have any you would like to be added.
How do you know? People sometimes ask me. How do I know that I’m gay and not straight? This question came up a lot specifically closer to my coming out. I get it. We’re curious about one another and I have a certain experience that you may not have but the thing is our experiences aren’t different at all. It’s all very simple.

I never saw my sexuality as anything that was connected to kink. I knew that I was into BDSM and identified as a submissive of some sorts far before I ever started questioning my sexuality. But funnily, it’s through the start of a D/s ‘relationship’ that I finally admitted and acknowledged to myself that I am a lesbian, which happened somewhere around when I was 16 or 17. Am I bi, perhaps? When I turned 16, some kinky and BDSM Continue Reading →
