Pony play devices

Owing to my slave entering ponygirl training, I have spent some time checking out ponygirl training items both real-life and in Second Life. There are really a lot of it, and especially in Second Life there are many places devoted to ponygirls and -boys. The ones me and my slave have checked out so far are:

• Rubber Land Of Latex Dolls (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Plaza/121/130/102), really more latex fetish but with a large pony training area and seemingly nice people.
• Wild PonyGirl Island & Stable (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blue%20Spirit/116/109/25), a beautyfully built area with both training and relax facilities for ponygirls and trainers.
• AliKat Stables (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oglala/181/28/27), a very elaborate cluster of 4 sims devoted to pony play, with some very nice people and beasts, and a very well equipped pony equipment mall.

I have also added more to the BDSM Institute, meant mainly for pony play, now an 800 meter long track around the entire sim, intended for cart training, decorated with bridges, trees, benches to sit down and lanterns. I also spent some time looking around for pony carts and stable items to add.

News at the BDSM Institute: An 800 meter pony training track was added around the circumference of the sim, started yesterday and finished today.

News at the website: 12 pictures of my 1st slave as ponygirl was added yesterday.

Ponygirl training and BDSM blogs

Sunday, I started training my 1st slave as a ponygirl. We have been discussing it for some time, and although she wasn't very enthusiastic about it at first, she finally grew to embrace the idea. I guess it helped some that she got an excuse for wearing a very sexy latex harness outfit. Now, I admit I hardly know the first thing about ponygirl training, so this will be learning for me as well. I probably should read up some on the subject, but I prefer doing things my own way, not caring much about what's orthodox or not.

After my slave said she didn't know how she was supposed to be as a good pony, I sat down and wrote a little list about what I expected of her. Some points on the list are pretty technical, owing to requirements from her pony gear: pony boots, hoof mittens, tail and head harness from Mesmerize Dungeon and pony HUD from Morbid Play. The boots require practice to walk and the tail time to be able to take larger tail plugs. My list of aims for her training is as follows:

1. Learn to communicate by pony emotes. (no chat, IMs, emote chat)
2. Learn to respond to commands. (attentive, understand, act quick)
3. Learn to follow rein commands. (go, left, right, stop)
4. Learn good posture and prancing. (handle AOs, animations)
5. Learn to balance in pony boots. (practice)
6. Learn to walk fast in pony boots. (practice)
7. Learn to jump hurdles on a track. (look ahead, right speed and stance)
8. Learn to follow complicated track fast. (look ahead, right speed and turn)
9. Learn to pull and maneuver cart. (right speed, turn, backing)
10. Learn to team with other ponies. (attentive, adapt, pace)
11. Learn dressage. (memorize tracks and patterns)
12. Learn enthusiasm. (encourage, offer, aid, thank)
13. Learn acceptance. (accept use, whip, wait, solitude)
14. Learn pride. (show off, pose, charm, comfort)

I also added a number of links to other blogs at least partly about BDSM in Second Life to this blog, wanting to offer other views on the subject than my own. The beginning of the list is personal blogs, followed by community and commercial blogs, and last the blog of a fashionista who wrote a very kind review of my site in Second Life.

News at the BDSM Institute: A simple pony training round was added around one of the sitting groups yesterday, with a central leash holder and cones for the pony to maneuver around.

News at the blog: A list with links to other SL BDSM blogs was added today.

Changes at the BDSM Institute, website and blog

suz has left this blog and handed it over to me, Magnuz Binder. She started this blog, with my blessing, in an attempt to make my Second Life site, the BDSM Institute, more visible. Now she has left Second Life, and neither has the time nor input to continue the blog. I wish to express my gratitude for all she did for me, both in Second Life, with this blog, and much more.

Much has changed since she last wrote in this blog. The BDSM Institute has moved to a new location in Second Life, now occupying the full mainland sim Qandico, on the adult continent Zindra. Much material, both written and 3D creations, have been added there. The BDSM Institute website has grown into a full website with much information and pictures, both about BDSM in general and about Second Life, in both English and my first language Swedish.

I will probably not be an as regular writer as suz was, but I will use this blog to highlight some of the things happening and changing at and around the BDSM Institute. For those of you who would like to see me inworld, I'm often around the BDSM Institute 10 AM-1 PM and 8-10 PM SLT (UTC - 9 h).

News at the BDSM Institute: Sitting groups with benches, bondage stakes and leash rings have been added at the central plaza today.

News at the website: 24 pictures of Qandico covered with snow from 2011-01-11 was added today.

About "Real" BDSM

Opinions about "real" or "true" BDSM

Some people want to believe that their knowledge in an area covers the entire area or actually even defines the entire area.

This behaviour is found in BDSM as well, where it is not uncommon to find people stating that they are performing the "real" or "true" BDSM, based on their experience or other "knowledge".

The belief that persons can define "real" or "true" BDSM is actually a good warning sign about them being narrow or shallow in their experience, regardless of how long it is.

This means that they are not aware of or respect the many facets that BDSM may have,
since what is held as "real" and "true" by one person may not be so by another person.

In many cases the beliefs in what BDSM "is" or "should be" is based on what some sole "guru" originally has stated, then propagated by people preferring to learn and cite rather than think and formulate.

As long as a variant of an activity doesn't really damage other people or violate common laws, it can not be objectively deemed superior or inferior compared to any other variant of it.

Bondage stake 9/21

The bondage stake is a one-prim furniture containing 63 custom-made animations for binding people to the stake in various positions. It also emotes the positions as they're chosen from a simple menu system. The stake does not take advantage of RLV or Xcite!.
