Healthy Alternatives

Welcome to Healthy Alternatives for the Vegas Beat.

Sex is fun, necessary, and risky. Alternative or Kinky Sex, carried out without forethought and knowledge, increase the risks involved, for everyone, incredibly.

The goal of this column is to create a safe place to ask those really “dumb, embarrassing, stupid, intelligent, scary, kinky, weird” questions you are not really sure where else to ask.

Feel free to send me your questions about alternative lifestyle heath issues, you can email your questions privately by clicking here, or you can  post your question in the Healthy Alternatives Discussion area by clicking here.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t pretend to know all the answers, and if I don't know the answer to your particular question I will consult with experts in that area to find an answer to your questions.

In future editions I will respond, anonymously, to questions sent to me, or posted in our discussion area, for the first edition I will just remind you of some really common sense precautions to take while playing,  taught you by Moma before you even went to Kindergarten.

Downside for Tourist Town Kink Groups

Tourism kills organized kink.

In weaker kink communities, where the community has not bonded together for the greater good or developed strong overall leadership, tourism can be a killer.

Tourist towns are known for a high turn over of movers and shakers, weekend and holiday drop-ins, and convention cohorts. Tourists often move to the towns they’ve visited seeking new jobs, running from old problems, or looking for greener grass and a new place to graze.

This causes a multitude of problems for kink communities. It’s hard enough to deal with a large membership turn over in the lifestyle, but tourism can double or triple turn over.

Due to massive tourism, it’s more difficult for kink communities to develop, grow and establish strong leadership and connections with the membership. Leadership continually struggles with tourist types who are drop-ins, movers, shakers and weekenders.

Drop-ins, movers and shakers visit the area then set up either temporary or short-term residency. Drop-ins are looking for a free ride on the community’s back.

They feign lifestyle interests and impose their dysfunctional problems on the community. Movers are those who have established a new residence in the area, and as a new member they want your community to respond and recognize them.

Shakers are new members who want to impose their standards, beliefs and methods on already established communities. They are new to town and immediately try to establish their place in the community through a leadership or officer type position while pushing for changes.

Weekenders are the average tourist, here for a short vacation or a convention, and then they go home. All of these types wreck havoc in the kink community.
