I'm personally here for the porn but u wouldn't mind seeing the other stuff too. Like have certain days of the week be about how to's.
Super happy to see this sentiment. My feeling is that a porn only community won't ever break out into a general place where people support each other. Nothing wrong with porn. I like it too. 😆 But bondage in general is so much more than just porn. We need the porn. But we also need a place for people to help each other learn and do bondage.
That's JMO. I don't want to dictate everything. But I do hope more people feel welcome and safe to post and comment.
personally I would make two communities, one for porn, and one for discussion, help, advice, like we had on reddit
Community centric material should be moved to a separate discussion group, preferably moderated by yourself. Otherwise it's going to be buried by what all the internet monkeys really want to see.
I like pictures and love stories but also a forum for questions and advice would be awesome.
Potentially make a sort of tag system that will need to be in every title? Something like '[female/male] [softcore/hardcore]'?
Also texts posts I think will be okay. In general, maybe a section with guides to the community or BDSM in general - like having a list of useful resources for people who want to start in BDSM?
Hey, on the readings bit. I started a little spanking community a while back. And for that I put together a bunch of readings. Now. I went overboard, because I liked the idea, but I'm willing to do something like that here. Pin a community resources post with readings and such. Give a look and let me know what you think.
Yeah, that is a fuckton of resources. That's good to gave many, especially infographics. I would suggest, for BDSM, having a section for introduction to BDSM, a section on toys, a section on safety, etc. Each might have circa 3 or 4 resources. Infographics are really useful as a quick source of info.
I'll say, there should be sections for beginners, a section on some toys, a section on kinks and the section on aftercare.
