by Miss_Melissa_

In his interviews, the Esteemed Nicholas Tanek has graciously included a budget kink question as a nod to these Thrifty Kink articles we try to post each week. The amazing folks that have answered this question have given some really fantastic ideas, and so I thought it was time to start harvesting these pearls of wisdom.

This is the first part in an ongoing series of Thrifty Kink articles that will feature a handful of excellent budget-minded BDSM gear suggestions from the witty, resourceful, kinky minds of the many people Nicholas has and will interview in days to come!

VIDEO CHAT: Sugarc*nt w/ Nicholas Tanek

Sugarcunt is a nonbinary, queer, nonmonogamous, disabled sex blogger, sex educator, social media maven, and humiliatrix. Sugar loves being loud and naked on the internet for fun and profit. They are an intensely kinky switch with a wide range of dungeon and D/s role interests, whose flames are stoked by submission, but will warm the room with dominant energy.
Sugar’s professional dominatrix specialties include chastity, domestic service, financial domination, humiliation, degradation, and emotional sadism. As a sub, they are most authentically a bratty, age-independent little. Sugar began their foray into the sex industry in 2011 with blogging and reviewing sex toys, but their interests span all over the adult industry and they intend to be a “lifer” within the community.
Sugar lives with their cat and a small army of sex toys on land ceded by the Duwamish, Puget Sound Salish, and Columbia-Wenatchi tribes near Seattle, Washington. When they aren’t teaching holiday dinner guests about urethral sounding, making boys cry, or giving free marketing lessons on Twitter, they’re probably playing with their tarot deck or re-reading the rules to a game for the fourth time in a row.

VIDEO CHAT: Satin Jade w/ Nicholas Tanek

Satin Jade was born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She has always seen satin as a sensual, feminine, and classy fabric. She loves to be dressed in negligees, underwear, as well as high heels and that secretary look. So in puberty, she was a little insecure and thought it was not for her. But when she got older, satin was still on her mind and something she thought a man would think of as sexy.

Then, she met her husband to be and his love for satin was very strong. Now, it’s grown in to a fetish.

She says it feels great on her skin, so smooth, sexy, and sensual. She wears it all the time.

Nicholas Tanek sits down with her for a chat.

A Kinky Start – Our Friends Discuss Their First Real Kink Experience by Nicholas Tanek

Everything has a beginning. There are various ways to initiate a kinky/BDSM lifestyle. It may start with playfully exploring kink and the offer of a little spank here or there. Perhaps, dabbling in light bondage awakens something inside of you. Or maybe, you slip on silk panties just to try them on for fun. But then one day the line between curiosity and desire is crossed, and you discover a driving need for more. BDSM becomes part of your life. So I asked a couple of my kinky friends about their first experiences of living out fantasies.

Here are their answers…
