Dear Ms Kinky


Dear Ms Kinky,

I have crust on the rings daily. I wash them with antibacterial soap and use astringent on them, but they don't seem to be healing. I would appreciate any help I can get...


Dear Friend:

Answered by: BadBobBikerDom@aol.com

ALL new piercing will secrete a gooey, sticky fluid called lymph. This will dry up and form a ring of crust on the jewelry at the piercing's holes, making moving the jewelry painful. Soaking and cleaning this lymph DAILY (or as the buildup requires) is necessary to avoid any problems with bacteria populations.
NEVER handle a new piercing with dirty hands! Wash hands and fingertips well. Avoid any introduction of foreign bodily fluid to the area (sweat, blood, saliva, etc.)

Do not harass the piercing's healing process by wearing constrictive clothing or allowing repeated bumping and knocking around the jewelry. Use caution when swimming during healing; poor water quality and high bacteria presence will infect your new piercing. Some people will run Vaseline or Neosporin liberally through the hole prior to a swim in order to seal off the exposed tissue temporarily. In this case, soak well with salt water and clean immediately afterwards.
Listen to your body's reactions to various products. Some ingredients commonly found in skincare products can irritate the vulnerable tissue in new piercings. Eliminating variables in product exposure will often solve occasional irritation.

Don't remove the jewelry until well after the piercing is completely healed. Once healed, a piercing is permanent, although when the jewelry is removed, the displacement will cause the hole to shrink, making jewelry reinsertion difficult without first gently stretching the hole back up to size. New piercings heal the best when the aftercare products do not interfere with the cell regeneration process. Products like ALCOHOL and PEROXIDE are not recommended as they often harass the newly healing cells. Salt water is by far the least-reactive and most effective cleaning solution. Bacitracin Zinc is one of the best antibiotic ointments. Some people have also successfully used Bactine, Betadine, Hibiclens, Benzalkonium Chloride, Campho Phenique, and D-Alpha Vitamin E oil as part of their cleaning regimen. No product is universally good for all types of skin, except salt water. Be aware the average healing time for woman's nipples is 12 to 14 weeks. It is also wise to go to the person who did the piercing, as he/she encounters problems such as this one.


Dear Ms. Kinky,

In response to the question you posed, ‘What qualities does a male Dominant look for when choosing a submissive to serve him’, allow me to add my own thoughts on the matter. Let me stress that these are MY thoughts and MY feelings and may or may not conform to those of any other Dominant, Master, Daddy or Top on the face of Planet Earth. They are mine alone and are the guidelines I use in the practice of my life..

After seeing your question, I went back to try and find a long letter I had once penned on the subject. In it, I answered just that question but it appears to have rolled of into oblivion long ago. And while I had thought I had saved it for posterity, it appears that in a previous cleanup it went out with the trash. So I will give it my best shot and try to put my thoughts to paper once again.

I don't have a long list of specific items, as they tend to vary from submissive to submissive. What's appropriate for miss x and me, for instance, may not be appropriate for me and miss y. In general, I look for several qualities and I will try and pass those along.

First and foremost is honesty. It is what I offer and demand nothing less in return. I will sever contact immediately with someone who lies to me. I am perfectly capable of accepting the truth about anything. I may not like, YOU may not like my response, but it gets dealt with and we move on to bigger and better things. Deceit is something that has no place in this lifestyle, even innocent deceit.

The second is integrity. I require that my partners, at any level of involvement, maintain a level of integrity that does not leave me open to surprises and allows me to take pride in the way they conduct themselves.

The third is devotion. While many of the women I am involved with have busy lives, they take the time to make themselves available to me and I make the time to be there for them. I will walk that extra mile to assist someone I care for. I am the person you want to call when you NEED someone to be there for you. I expect the same kind of devotion in return.

The fourth is obedience. I have been in this lifestyle for a long while, have a wonderful and rich sense of intuition that has stood me well, and do not enjoy being second-guessed. While I will allow a submissive enough rope to dangle with should she decide that she 'knows' better than I do, this gets old rather quickly and I have little patience for being tested time and again. I assume and accept the responsibility for the safety of the women I accept into my life and expect them to cede me that right and privilege. This holds true for the women that end up being submissive to me as well as those that I accept to mentor. If she cannot accept the fact that I am being objective and have only their best interests at heart, then maybe you need to seek out someone else.

Fifth and maybe foremost is intelligence. I don't care if someone is book smart or not - although I do much prefer women that I can converse with on many levels other than D/s. I cannot and DO NOT condone stupidity or lack of intellect and seek out those that I can respect and relate to on an intellectual basis as well as any D/s or BDSM levels. Submission takes on so much more of a meaning when given willfully, intelligently and as the result of a conclusion reached through logical reasoning and thought.

All the other usual traits, tolerance levels, physical appearance, play preferences etc. carry far less weight in my decision to take on someone. I DO NOT train, I educate and guide. It is so much more than a semantic difference between the terms. Training is accomplished through the brute force method of repetitive action - education is a process that requires formal thought and the integration of detail 'A' and detail 'B' to allow one to logically come to conclusion 'C'. This is what I offer and what I demand in return. While I clearly have little desire to be with a submissive that I find physically or emotionally revolting, these play little in my decision - no more or less than they would in any vanilla relationship I might enter into.

As to your second question, What should a submissive seek out in her Dominant, I would say much the same things I have listed here. He must also be someone you can find yourself trusting with your safety. That trust that allows him to put a blindfold on you and run a knife across your neck, scaring the shit out of you but with you knowing in your heart of hearts that you will come out of the experience safely and sanely.

He must inspire passion in you - Passion for the lifestyle, Passion in the way He interacts with you, Passion in your sensuality and sexuality. While each D/s relationship has unique and differing dynamics, some elements of all these are present and they need to click - you have to feel empty when you are not with Him - even if it is only a secondary relationship filling a void unfilled in your primary. Passion is what it is all about - and that does NOT mean sex. Anybody can fuck a submissive and make them cum - THAT is not Passion. Passion is when your Dominant can make you want to cum just by his look alone - not saying it is actually gonna happen - but when you feel that you WANT to, you know you have arrived.

Go out there, seek carefully, don't be afraid to explore and DON'T be afraid to say NO. Any Dominant of character will respect that as part of the discovery process between Dominant and potential submissive. And, as the phrase was once uttered on Hill Street Blues – Please be careful out there. Sir Saul
