we need women covered in blood more than ever
piss kink safety patrol! (for golden showers, drinking piss, internal pissing— anal and vaginal, holding, and wetting)
if you are being pissed on
very very minimal safety risks here
close those eyes baby! the second piss is anywhere near the face— close your eyes. that shit stings. have you ever had cum in your eye? it’s like that, but way harder to wipe off.
try not to do this with any fresh piercings, new tattoos, open wounds, or anything else that’s begging to get infected
if you are ingesting urine
what medications is your partner on? can they be passed through urine? (most likely they can be— in very trace amounts. but those trace amounts can be important to be aware of depending on your situation)
has your partner recently ingested something (medication, food, etc) that you are allergic to? or something that interacts with your meds? if they have, is it worth that risk?
has your partner recently taken any drugs? can they be passed through urine? (most likely they can be— in very trace amounts. those trace amounts may or may not be enough to cause a reaction, and may or may not be enough to fail a drug test <- has happened to people!)
on one non-safety note… you’re probably not going to love the taste of piss. regardless. you might! but most do not. it’s piss. really well hydrated piss can be very enjoyable (I like it a lot!), really dehydrated piss might make you puke. diet changes the taste— just like cum, but more directly. coffee, asparagus, lots of meat… all things that can make it particularly strong (and some people love that! some people do that on purpose! but I would maybe not… start there). lots of juice + lots and lots of water can make it very mild. medications and supplements can change the taste. lots of people anecdotally like the way beer or diet soda makes it taste. first piss of the day is considerably stronger and more unpleasant than any other time.
if you are doing internal pissing (anal)
if you are getting it straight from the tap (penis or funneled in): minimal to no risk. pee is not sterile! urine is not sterile. but you’re not gonna run into a ton of issues here. the real concern is if you’re dealing with abnormal abrasions, likely from particularly rough anal sex, you’re going to be more at risk for infection. keep an eye on it, take a shower, etc. you’re probably all good.
if you are getting a larger volume than one normal pee (bottle, etc, any amount of built-up fluid from multiple pees): this is less a safety risk and more just a heads up. chances are this will kind of accidentally enema you. and then you will shit. pretty immediately. if you’ve done a ton of anal prep (including enema) beforehand, you’re likely going to be fine.
if you are doing internal pissing (vaginal)
now we’re looking at pH balances. urine is more basic than the natural flora of a vaginal ecosystem, which can cause problems.
if you are prone to UTIs, yeast infections, or bacterial vaginosis, you should probably prepare for that. if that’s the risk you’d like to take, that’s your choice! but if your pH balance is delicate, piss is absolutely going to disrupt it.
even if you’re not prone, the risk for all of the above is there!
PEE. AFTER. BEING. PEED IN. please 😚 you’ll save yourself so much trouble. and I mean pee, don’t just evacuate the foreign piss. if you’re not already peeing after sex in general… start now!
if you’re doing any kind of holding:
any long-term holding (and I mean, like, having holding your pee for long periods of time become a part of your life for years) can result in slight to moderate incontinence (leaking) and weakened pelvic floor muscles. make sure you’re doing pelvic floor exercises! it’s best to sometimes give yourself an extended break from a holding kink, but I won’t tell you what to do.
there’s no real One Answer for “how long is it okay to hold at one time?”, but it’s better to do high hydration/stronger desperation/shorter hold than it is to do low hydration/less need to pee/longer hold, for hydration purposes. the longer you hold, the more you are at risk for UTIs and potentially bladder infections (cystitis, a kind of UTI). bladder infections have a chance of becoming kidney infections. no, there’s no One Set Time, but no, it’s not safe to hold all day either. listen to your body as best you can.
find your limits and set them. I’m prone to UTIs (and have a weak bladder), so I have different levels of “okay to hold”. I have found the maximum amount of water and its correlating hold times that work for me— and hold time is never over an hour. that’s my risk profile.
if you’re wetting
sitting in your wet mess can be fun and humiliating, but can also cause rashes. I literally cannot speak to diaper instances, I have no experience there, but most fabrics will start to be uncomfortable while wet after a while, and sitting in your piss can cause chafing, rashes, skin irritation… and again, sitting in pissed in underwear (or garments close to the genitalia) can cause UTIs + yeast infections, especially in vulvas.
AS ALWAYS, when dealing with someone else’s fluids inside your body, you are at risk for STIs. get tested, keep getting tested, take PrEP, have the conversations, know your body, and above all, be aware of what risks you run. this shit is fun and wonderful— funderful— and should stay that way. safe pissing (or lack thereof) everybody!
Leather fetishes are back in cuz everything is polyester these days.. touching real HQ material in 2026 is enough to give anyone a little sexual zing
Leather fetish but all I see is party city pleather 😕
Leather fetishes are back because high end designers decided they were going to co-opt leather culture and aesthetics to look cool on the runway and then fast fashion decided to take that inspiration and turn it into more pleather garbage. Leather fetishes are back because leather culture is constantly being tokenized. Leather fetishes are back because you all want the aesthetics of leather without the commitment to politicized community that it demands of you. Leather fetishes are back because you like the idea of fucking crazy but you don't actually believe in sexual liberation outside of women being allowed to orgasm. Leather fetishes are back because leather culture is having a resurgence because of the need to resist fascism and you want to look like you'd actually punch a cop even though you let ICE kidnap your neighbor last week. Fuck your leather fetish if it isn't rooted in the material manifestations of what leather culture and history actually mean.

if all of your rope ties are on thin bodies, I think you’re boring
I think people have this very unrealistic view of active psychosis based on reddit and tiktok posts that the typical presentation is being able to very effectively situationally mask and otherwise present as normal while living a fucked up fantasy life on the side, like idk, your husband has always acted normal and still is but then you find out he keeps a secret mannequin family under the porch and leaves rotten food offerings for them and stuff and now that he knows you know he’s plotting to murder you while still masking to all your friends and family. or you’ll feel totally normal and like nothing is wrong but you have a new roommate no one else acknowledges exists.
psychosis takes many forms, admittedly, but in general if someone is having a hardcore break with reality they will be showing outward signs of not being in good shape holistically speaking; they’ll neglect their hygeine and possibly stop eating, they may self harm or pick their skin/pull their hair, it could be very easy to mistake them for someone under the influence of drugs. personally, my psychotic episodes feel like waking dreams or fever-induced delirium and involve both insomnia and borderline narcolepsy.
“crazy people don’t even know they’re crazy! if you think you’re going crazy, you’re not, because if you were schizophrenic you wouldn’t even ask that question!” not to scare you bro but I think like 75% schizophrenic worry they’re going crazy when their symptoms first show up, like they may not realize they’re schizophrenic per se but they know SOMETHING is up
“why is there a section for schizoaffective essay collections”
idk! There’s two of them, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that specifically folks with schizoaffective disorder keep writing them. idk if it’s correct to say there’s like, a dialog, but you can tell the two books mentioned are in conversation with each other.
“Why do you include something you’ve written that’s not released?”
:^)
can anybuddy recommend me nonfiction books abt schizophrenia and/or other psychotic disorders? I only have When The Sun Bursts on my list so far and would like to expand my reading. I am looking for books written from a place of compassion, and am happy to read memoirs, studies & psychology books, and (auto)biographies. i will also accept articles, but usually prefer books because they're easier for me to get hold of. ty mwah
Hello. i’ve been reading as much as i can about schizospec for years now (because i’ve been diagnosed for years now), and also because i’m a writer (this is real: eventually i will release a nonfiction essay collection on schizoaffective disorder, i just need to sell it first). i have a critique of the schizo* writing scene, obvs, but that’s neither here nor there. There’s a LOT of books out there on this, this list is the bulk of the stuff i find notable in the style, some of these are good, some of these are bad. Books i have not read but which i have seen referenced around are marked with (DNR)

i love the phrase "sex pervert" like. as opposed to what? abstinence pervert?
i think they're called catholics
that's me, i'm the abstinence pervert, and i'm a lapsed catholic
I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon
Things i give a shit about right now (aka what this blog is gonna be mostly):
* dykes
* leather
* leatherdykes
* psychosis (😮💨😔)
* articulating things about schizoaffective disorder
* disability
* fucking crazy
Leatherdyke archives
We've done a solid amount of digging on the internet over the past couple years and found scans of a bunch of important leatherdyke-related magazines, zines, books, etc. in a bunch of different places, in addition to our own work at collecting, cataloging, and scanning whatever materials we've been able to get our hands on. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but we wanted to post some links for people to find a lot of the materials we've tracked down. We do archival work to keep our history and culture alive and accessible. We highly encourage everyone who sees this to share this post widely, share the links around, send them to friends off tumblr, download all of these materials, repost them elsewhere (every online archive is at risk of being taken down without notice, so the more places things are, the better!), and just generally spread it far and wide!
So, here's a bunch of links:
Our archive, which we're continuously updating as we scan and prepare materials we've collected. If you tab over to "Lists", we've made a bunch of lists of other materials we think are important - including scans of Quim, Venus Infers, On Our Backs, a bunch of important leatherdyke books, and a full run of TransSisters!
Carta Monir's archive, with a couple things we put in our lists, and a bunch of cool trans materials
Digital Transgender Archive's Internet Archive page, where we found the full run of TransSisters. It's got a ton of trans fetish magazines, which can be tough to read at times but there's a lot of stuff to be found in there if you're willing to wade through it all. If you've seen chastity's Trans Leatherdyke History talk, a lot of that research came from these kinds of magazines
Middle and Ring has an extensive archive of lesbian materials sorted by topic, including a lot of important books, 12 issues of On Our Backs, etc.
A couple Flickr albums with incomplete scans of two issues of Quim
We have not been able to track down any scans of the original run of the BIPOC leather magazine Black Leather in Color (BLIC), but there is a revived version of the magazine first launched in 2024, available exclusively online on their website. At the time of this post, they've put out 5 issues
Fat Girl has been publicly archived in full (save for some images of people who have not consented to be included in the archived versions) on the Fat Lib Archive, with a wide range of accessible options to view its contents
The first 3 issues of DaemonumX's FIST zine are available for free download
Not a digital archive, but if you're interested in physical copies, the long-running leather shop ASWGT produced issues 18-39 of the leather periodical SandMUtopia Guardian, and you can order a full run of the issues they produced from their website. The website looks ancient and you might be nervous to order from them, but we can confirm they're still active - we ordered and received all of those issues! You can also order single issues from them. And while you're at it, order some gear from them! They've got really cool looking impact toys!
We'll try to update this periodically! There's certainly other places to find things - if you know of any we didn't post there, we'd love to hear about them! Put links in the comments or send them to us over DM - we'll add them to the list, or if for whatever reason you don't want them added we'd love to at least have access to it for internal archival purposes!
