show me your heartbeats.

Please care for your heart.

As many of you know, someone here has very recently died of a heart attack indulging in risky heart play including needles and electricity. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to those who loved and knew him. I want to address some of my own experiences and hopefully we can band together as a community to discourage this kind of dangerous activity.

I realize the attraction and appeal so many cardiophiles such as myself have towards the darker side of the fetish and irregular rhythms. Only a few are privy to this information, but I myself have used needles and electricity on my heart. Originally I turned to needles in a very depressing part of my life after my fiance left me and I wanted an edge in my sexual life. It slowly advanced to more needles, longer needles. Eventually I felt better, but for someone like me this behavior was already an addiction. A few months ago, I added electricity to the mix and have been slowly advancing to more risky things. I like to think I'm being cautious, but this has been a wake up call that it's a dangerous road I'm walking on.

I never shared any of this publicly because it was something I knew was risky and I didn't want to encourage anyone else. To those I have shared private videos with, I apologize if I made my actions appealing even if I did advise against trying yourself.

I will be quitting this cold turkey, and I have some people I can talk to if I the urge to try again comes back.

As a community, we need to come together and discourage needles and electricity. Advancing to this level needs to be treated like an addiction, because for many of us it is. Sharing the content also gives others ideas. The first time I saw someone stick a needle in their heart I thought it was madness. I would have never dared to try it if I didn't see so many videos over and over.

I will continue with things such as pressure/ poppers/ breathplay, although my pressure sessions will be less intense than some of the ones you've seen in the past. I can't say pressure is without risk either, generally I would say it's safe for someone with a healthy heart. I have heard of some people with heart problems such as murmurs/ valve issues having strange reactions to pressure. If you have heart problems, please be very careful with your ticker ❤️

NASA’s Webb Delivers Deepest Infrared Image of Universe Yet

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.

The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.
