Articles from PROUD & Kinky Magazine

Roleplay & Fantasy

Fantasy has always been part of human intimacy. From childhood games of make-believe to the stories we tell ourselves as adults, imagination helps us explore identity, power, vulnerability, and desire. In kink and BDSM spaces, roleplay and fantasy become intentional, collaborative tools for consenting adults to step outside everyday norms and into something curated, negotiated, and deeply personal. At its best, roleplay isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about understanding ourselves more clearly through creativity, communication, and trust.

Entering the Scene

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.

Call Him Daddy

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.

The “T & A” of a Las Vegas Burlesque

In a recent “5 Martini Lunch,” Las Vegas PRIDE had the opportunity to chat with one of our favorite local and vocal Burlesque performers. We chatted about strong men and women, strong cocktails, and, most importantly, the challenges of vaudeville/burlesque authenticity in performance in this “model type” home we call Las Vegas Entertainment! Lou Lou Roxy and Norma had a great afternoon!
