Kink.com's newest site, which is scheduled to go live on July 2nd, is called The Training of O. It is a weeklong training program where submissive females earn their stripes in erotic servitude. Applicants prove their determination to train by enduring grueling tasks of initiation. The Training of O crew is busy shooting, editing, and creating a trailer so that users can preview the content before the site goes live this July. James Mogul, the Webmaster of The Training of O, decided to hold a music contest to find the perfect music to accompany both the trailer and the shoots. He received many submissions but now needs your help to make his final decision by Friday, May 4th.

Please help James out by reviewing the sample footage and music and voting on your favorite submission.

Research by the World Association of Sexual Health finds some interesting facts. Notably, those who delve into BDSM are no more likely to have suffered sexual abuse than other people, and that men into BDSM scored higher on a scale of psychological wellbeing than other men, indicating that these men are generally happier.

The researchers are not sure why this is the case, but Peter Acworth of kink.com has his own opinion: "I think that those who fantasize about BDSM and actually live out that fantasy are likely to be people who are open and good communicators. It doesn't surprise me in the least that the group was found to be happier than others who keep their desires locked away."

At Kink.com, when an idea for a new website is proposed, it often must go through an intense transformation before it can be considered seriously for approval. Almost a year ago Lew Rubens conceived of an idea for a website called The Bondage Challenge that consisted of several bondage-oriented challenges. Of the many challenges it was the boy/girl takedown scene that interested Executive Producer Lisset Barcellos and Founder and CEO Peter Acworth the most. Director Matt Williams then borrowed this idea and transformed it into a similar idea called Forbidden Combat. Peter then decided to develop his own version that incorporated rope bondage into the idea of a boy/girl takedown. It's up to Peter to see if he can create a successful blend of everyone's best ideas.
