DARKSIDE # 56 Is Out

The fantabulous UK portal to all things kinky has once again opened its doors: the new issue (#56 actually) of Darkside Magazine has just been released (you can grab it here).

Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

As has been for quite a while now, I contributed a piece into this latest issue, sporting dom Mizz Thyck on its cover, and I will tell you about all I did in a bit. But let’s take our usual slow sensual trip through the pages of this high-end glossy to see what we can see…

The first feature is the “Beach Bound,” photo piece featuring a very naked (and really, how else should a kinky girl be posing on a beach if not completely nude?!) Exhostess13. Photographed by Bindweedphoto, the willowy red head is bound in some very creative ways, under gorgeous outside lighting that one can only ever capture on a beach.

Following is a provocative profile on Raven (aka The Huntress). A beauty with Medusa-like tresses and a stunning body, she makes claim to loving the dominant arts of caning and flogging and “teasing your entire body and mind into the borderline of questioning your sanity.”

I can speak well to the next piece up, as this is my interview with Ariel Anderssen, and something I am especially proud of. Kink model, content producer, actress, and most recently a published author (I’ll tell you about this in a bit) I ‘met’ Ariel years ago when I interviewed her for a column I was writing for a website published in New York City and L.A. Reconnecting to talk to her for my Licking Non-Vanilla podcast (hear it here) I figured I’d “double dip” and get even more in-depth with the beauty for Darkside. What Ariel provides with her honesty, the amazing pictures you will see in this issue and pretty much all of who she always is, makes for a fantastic profile/interview.

Her new book Playing to Lose: How a Jehovah’s Witness Became a Submissive BDSMModel – Kindle edition by Anderssen, Ariel. Religion & Spirituality can be found here.

With ‘Locktober’ on us, many men and their keyholders are either embarking on their first blush of chastity or just refitting into what they usually wear. Chasity Queen explores her most favorite pastime in her article. The Baroness guides us through “Gooning,” there is an industrial-like feel to the pictures the busty and tatted Queen B allows us to see, The magazine’s editor-in-chief/owner (and all-around great guy) Paul Donnelly, interviews Mistress Simone about her 30-year working as a domina, there is a one-page poem here by ATK, with a very explicitly hot pic to go along with it, Dirk Hooper logs in per usual with amazing illustrations, and there is that extensive interview our editor managed with cover lady Lashawne Freeman (Mizz Thyck).

Madam weighs in per usual as does Kelli in her korner and lastly we get a brief, but few pages Fetish File of the power of JJ Jewel’s obvious attributes.

Herem yet again, is another amazing issue of Darkside. Grab it now or forever hold your cockcage.

Ralph Greco, Jr. is the devilishly clever nom de plume of professional writer/musician Ralph Greco who lives in the wilds of suburban New Jersey. He is also a podcast co-host, but as everyone has a podcast these days, this fact is of very little consequence.
