We are geeky sexual deviants and this is our blog where we discuss fetishes, bondage, sex toys and the development of our our social network for sexual deviants like ourselves, FetLife.com.
I just placed an order for “Bianca Beauchamp: All Access” reality documentary. The documentary follows Bianca, one of the world’s top latex and fetish model, for three days through the 2006(?) Montreal Fetish Weekend.
If anyone asks me why I ordered the movie, my answer, the trailer made me do it!
I am ashamed to say I never heard of Bianca before. She is friggn stunning! (I have never used the word stunning before because I have never meet anyone that deserved that title… now I have.)
You know you wanna take a better glimpse of fetish events through the eyes of Bianca. You can order the DVD either through Amazon (Canada, US) or directly through her website.
I order it directly from her. More money for her. She deserves it.
We are looking for some Beta Testers (to be read guinea pigs) to test out version 2.0 of FWF and give us feedback before we open up the doors to everyone.
We need us much feedback as we can get and not just now but pretty much anytime we can get it. Except when I am in one of my really cranky moods, I really don’t recommend you give me any feedback then, but I only get in one of those modes no more then once or twice a day. :-)
We are making FWF for you as much as we are making it for ourselves! Let’s have fun building the community together. Give peace a chance. (Where the hell did that one come from?)
To become a beta tester email me a johnbaku [at] gmail [dot] com or respond to this post.
If I remember correctly it is just over a year ago when we first launched FriendsWithFetishes.com (FWF). The original idea behind FWF was to help kinksters find other kinksters who they had fetishes in common with.
Who am I kidding with this marketing talk. I pretty much created FWF because I was extremely horny with many fetishes I needed to act on and many more I still wanted to try. The problem was I was not sure their were any girls out their that had the same perverted ways as me. Like a female John. Let me rephrase that, I knew their were girls out their who had the same fetishes as me but they were far and few between and I was not sure how many slaps I could take before just giving up asking. So I figured, their must be a better way and I created FWF.
I have to admit that before launching FWF I knew nothing about the Fet community. I had never been to an event or meet anyone who was involved in the community. It was just me and my sick perverted fetishes :-).
As I was launching FWF I was lucky enough to meet EmJ. She pretty much took me under her wings and introduced me to the Fet community in Toronto. She took me to large parties held at clubs as well as private parties held in people’s homes. I loved all of it. It was like their was another world out their that I never knew existed.
During this time I got the opportunity to meet a lot of great people and learn about the community, relationships, interaction and how it all kind of works. All the things I learnt resulted in me having to re-think everything about FWF.
All the things I learned from EmJ and her friends resulted in FWF 2.0 and we are planning on launching it in the next 7-14 days.
Our elevator pitch for FWF is:
FriendsWithFetishes is like Facebook except for the fact it is being build and run by sexual deviants.
Ok… now what does that mean for FWF? I am a big list guy so this is my Top 10 list for changes in FWF… but their is man more then just 10.
FWF is becoming a closed community. The only way to join is if a member invites you. We are going to seed FWF 2.0 to all members of FWF 1.0, Fet event organizers, Fet bloggers and anyone one else we discover is trustworthy and active in the community. This results in a tighter knit community that will reflect existing local communities.
It is all about your Friends. We are going to put a lot of emphasis on your relationship with people. Like Facebook you will be able to specify who your friends are and because of the relationship be able to easily keep up to date with what they are doing.
Get A Fet Feed. Mini-feeds are addictive. See what pictures your friends have uploaded from recent events, see what fetishes they have become curious about or into and who they have recently became friends with. Keep a pulse on your fetish community in between events.
Improved fetish listings. Now you don’t only say if you are into or curious about a fetish but you can specify, to a certain extent, what aspect of the fetish you are into. For instance are you into giving or receiving a spanking or are you just into everything with respect to spanking.
EMail Notifications. If you get a message from another member of FWF you will be notified via email. Now I have no excuse for not responding to messages much quicker. Damm… this sucks!
Improved Interface. Yeah, your right, improved interface does sound like a bogus improvement. But it is not, soon as you try the new FWF I think you will like how it feels.
What was wrong with the old blog? Nothing was wrong with it. But at the same time nothing was really right with it. It just didn’t feel right. The blog needed a name, address, design, personality and a raison d’etre. Name (check), address (check), design (partial check), personality (time will tell) and the raison d’etre is because we are going to be shipping FriendsWithFetishes 2.0 in the next 7 days. Stay tuned.
Keep in touch with your fetish friends, meet new kinksters, discover new fetishes and find out what is happening this weekend in your local fetish community. FetLife is a social utility like Facebook and mySpace only FetLife is run by sexual deviants. We think it is more fun that way. Don't you?
