Defining the generation
It occured to me today, that every following, be it IT people, Thinkers and pontificators, all of them have the people that define that generation, its hopes and aspirations. For example, in IT, it was Steve Jobs, with his speaches that in their early days, were that electric that they made the hairs on your arms stand up. “Insanely great” - so few words, so much meaning. Then Stephen Hawking, he re defined thinking on subjects that most of us can’t begin to understand.
So that invetiably leaves the question, who defines the direction and the greatness of BDSM for our generation?
Yes there are a lot of people who at least qualify. What makes it harder within our world is seperating the myth and egos from the reality.
If it where me or rather, I were on the judging panel 
I’d say some of my most respected people in BDSM where
Philip Miller and Molly Devon (The definitive intro to BDSM for new people)
Rachel (A Dom friend of mine whose plain talking, no bullshit attitude helps me so much)
and finally, those that dare to speak of the love that dare not speak its name. It’s people who can cut through the BS and say “Fuck… Yes, I am a kinster, I love it, its my business not yours. Whats YOUR fucking problem with how I live MY life.
In essence, although we have people we admire and aspire to be within our own little world, you define how you live it and only you can define your happiness in your bondage world !
