So you’ve been curious about “the scene.” Maybe you’ve read a few articles, followed some creators online, or chatted with friends who swear their local kink community changed their lives. And now you’re thinking about attending your first event. Exciting? Yes. A little intimidating? Also, yes, and totally normal. Whether you’re kink-curious, newly out, or simply looking for community, entering the scene is less about knowing everything and more about showing up with openness, respect, and a willingness to learn. Let’s break down what to expect, starting with the most common entry points.

Las Vegas is often described as a city of excess, spectacle, and fantasy… but beneath the neon and noise lives a community that understands something deeper: liberation is not just about pleasure. It’s about safety, consent, dignity, and care. That is where the Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence live and work. Squarely in the beautiful gray space between sacred and sinful. For more than two decades, the Sin Sity Sisters have served the LGBTQIA2S+ community of Southern Nevada through radical visibility, irreverent joy, and unapologetic service. While we are widely known for our signature over the top “habits”, glittered faces, and campy style fundraising, our deeper mission has always been rooted in compassion, particularly for those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS through our AIDS Drug Assistance Program, SADAP. In recent years, that mission has expanded to more explicitly include kink-affirming, sex-positive, and fetish-friendly spaces… not as novelty, but as necessity.

Crush Daddy is a commanding presence wherever he goes. This month, he steps into a new role as one of KinkMen.com’s dominant tops where he exudes the confidence of someone who has spent years mastering both body and mind. A former basketball player, Crush brings disciplined athleticism to his performances. Sports once defined his world, and that foundation, later refined through years as a personal trainer focused on physique as much as performance, now fuels his on-screen authority. Speaking with us from his home in Houston, Texas, Crush opens up about his global upbringing, sexual fluidity, and his evolving relationship with kink.

What's in a name? For some, they'll have only one: the name their parents gave them at some point in life's early moments. Others might change names as the seasons do, adopting new ones to suit their various moods, phases, or simply as it pleases them. I've found myself at an interesting crossroads lately, as I am realizing that while I have many names depending on how close we are, what stage in life you've met me, and the degree to which we might be kinky together...and that one of these names is starting to feel more like "me" than the others...and it wasn't the one I was given by my mom at birth; but it is close.
