The BED Board of Directors is proud to announce we’ve added three more exceptional BDSMers to the Educators Directory this week. We welcome the inimitable founder of MTTA, Master Taino; long-time Kink activist and coach, Khiki Stills; and our own illuminating Lily Luminous, one of BED’s shining lights.
We’re very grateful that we already have two dozen experienced and gifted educators, from all segments of the Community, listed now. Our 12-month goal was to vet and accept 100 educators. Today is the two month anniversary of our launch date and we are one-quarter of the way to our goal. The quality of applications has been beyond expectations: out of 26 applicants, only 2 failed to meet our vetting requirements. There is so much talent and wisdom in our kink worlds, so many people who are out there every day doing their best to enlighten and educate. They deserve to have a spotlight shine on their endeavors and our Directory does just that.
Our Library is growing exponentially too. This week, we are delighted to welcome Master Taino to our Reading Library. Taino generously contributed articles and speeches about the meaning of Leather Families, the importance of Building Bridges between Diverse Communities, and connections between Latino and Black BDSM journeys. Thank you, Taino, for sharing your inspiring messages about unity, Community and, most of all, compassion for all human beings. We are indeed “one race, the human race.”
So it’s been another great week in BED development, and we are looking forward to steadily growing our resources for the Community.
THANK YOU for your moral support, your feedback, your shares, and your help in building this one-of-a-kind resource for kinky people throughout the world.
INSIDER TIPS: quickly navigate BED
Find all the content on this site using the top links on every page. Some links have drop-down menus to make it even easier for you to find applications, information about us, and new library content.
Thanks to a reader’s suggestion, BED has been cross-linked with gloriabrame.com. No matter where you go on gloriabrame.com now, you will be able to hop over to this site to see what’s new and exciting. The top-links on both sites sport links to BED and the all-important Donations Page, where we shamelessly plead for your support. Because we have no shame. We’re too kinky for that! (All opinions belong to your shameless Educatrix, of course.)
One of our first priorities, when we get the funding for it, is to install a really good (if not outright great) search engine on the site. Until then, you can still search for content, or educators, with a simple tool:
- Go to the page you want to search using a web-browser
- Once the page has loaded, click CTRL-F (Command+F for Mac users) and a box will open at the right top of your screen.
- Type a search term into the box. You will instantly how many time the term appears on the page
- Chrome users can install a free app that also searches synonyms for your search term
- Use the up and down arrows in the box to jump to your search term within the page
- X closes the box. If you want to return to the page, hit the star on top of the box to bookmark the page
- This tool works on every site so use it anytime you need to find something fast.
If you have the skills to build us a search engine, email gloria@gloriabrame.com and let’s negotiate. Thanks to our awesome sponsor, the Kink Shop, we have a small sum we can offer you (emphasis on SMALL). Get your favorite kink merchant or Sugar Daddy to sponsor us and that sum will grow! And, please, don’t forget the Black and Blue Plate Special.
