Ms K chats to cbt needle Mistress after RoB - SadisticSweet

CBT Needles Bio:
Garnering 17 years in the BDSM lifestyle, two of Miss Sweet's first kinks were ballbusting and blood play. This slowly evolved into the CBT needles that you see from Her today. Her deep exploration into needles began 4 years ago when an experienced, enthusiastic masochist talked Her into overcoming Her fears of needles, using it to deliver "delicious pain" onto Her masochist. Since that introduction, Miss Sweet has refined Her skills, and has implemented needles into CBT.
Miss Sweet attributes some of Her knowledge not only to education and experience in the lifestyle, but also to Her former apprenticeship under a tattoo artist and her degree in Biology. The culmination of these has led to Her own perspective, ideology, risk profile and play style in the sharps community.

In this episode of our podcast, "Positive Play: Breaking Down Stigmas and Enjoying Life with HIV," we had the pleasure of speaking with Shane, who candidly shared his positive experiences when playing with an HIV positive partner. This conversation was not only eye-opening but also incredibly inspiring as Shane discussed the importance of breaking down stigmas surrounding HIV and embracing life to the fullest.
Shane began by sharing how he met his partner, who is HIV positive, and how they navigated through initial concerns and fears surrounding the virus. He emphasized the importance of open and honest communication in their relationship, which ultimately led to a deep level of trust and understanding between them.
One of the key takeaways from our conversation with Shane was the importance of education and awareness when it comes to HIV. He stressed the need to debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding the virus, and instead, focus on facts and information that can help reduce stigma and discrimination.
Shane shared how playing with his HIV positive partner has not only been enjoyable but has also brought them closer together. He emphasized the importance of intimacy and connection in their relationship, which has helped them navigate through the challenges of living with HIV.
One of the most powerful moments in our conversation with Shane was when he shared how playing with his partner has taught him to appreciate life and live in the present moment. He spoke about the beauty of shared experiences and the joy of connecting with someone on a deeper level, despite any obstacles that may stand in the way.
Shane also highlighted the importance of self-care and self-love when living with or loving someone who is HIV positive. He spoke about the need to prioritize mental and emotional well-being, as well as physical health, in order to thrive in a relationship where HIV is present.
Throughout our conversation, Shane's positivity and resilience shone through as he shared his experiences and insights. 
As we wrapped up our conversation with Shane, we were left feeling inspired and empowered by his story. He reminded us of the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to supporting those living with HIV, and the power of love and connection in breaking down stigmas and stereotypes.
In conclusion, our conversation with Shane was a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit. He taught us that through positivity, understanding, and love, we can overcome any obstacle and truly embrace the beauty of life.

Bipoc Panelist Ms_Hellcat chats to Ms K about their journey in sharps

Hiya! Ms_Hellcat here, but you can call me Helly. I am Indigenous (Cherokee), two-spirited, omnisexual, and a subcultural kinda human.
I'm an old goth chick 💀A darkness in the soul, imagery, dress, even in our sex... I naturally navigated to the darker side- biting, clawing, knives, razors, BLOOOOOOD...and that was the beginning of my BDSM story. My great love affair with blood energy and all things shiny sharp has now spanned more than 27 years. I have been everything in blood play from a constant student, a reluctant pincushion, a passionate mentor, a group presenter, a sour patch needle top, to the most erotic bloodsucking bitch you dare dream of.
My vision along this path I wander has always included providing a safer space where others could gather, learn, play, and grow community. I did this for over a decade in Western NC, USA, until 2020, when My Beast was diagnosed with cancer; and He subsequently passed in 2021. My healing has taken quite a while. Now my mission has renewed clarity. I wish to help others find their own healing and peacefulness as well. Bloodplay can definitely help some in their quest for such.
So cum along on the razor's edge of pain, pleasure, and yearning for more...as you positively drip...rubies 🩸

Ms K chats to panelist and her own catalyst in the her sharps journey @ThePsychoBabe

Ever adventurous, ThePsychoBabe spent most of her time living in various parts of North America as well as her ancestral homeland in Asia.
She discovered her ability to transform physical pain into erotic pleasure while in her early teens; and primarily used blood and knives as an intimate way to connect with lovers.
Much later, she began participating with the wider BDSM community in a small North American city she had relocated to. There, she became a familiar face at local munches and events and was frequently seen laughing and grinning sadistically in the Dungeon while wielding an assortment of impact toys, or sticking people with needles.
Frustrated by the lack of diversity and the negative perceptions regarding Needle Play, ThePsychoBabe began posting her own self-styled needle portraits to show that needles don’t have to be scary. They can be healing, playful, sensual, thought-provoking and even meditative.
She is currently enjoying the Euro kink scene where she continues to share the joy of needles with those she meets.

Bio:
My name is Rae (it/it's), also known as thatpainpup. I am a multifaceted human, and interdisciplinary artist. My approach to fetish art centers around masochism as a cultural phenomena, and how it intersects within my kink practice. I strive to create work that not only displays my dedication to masochism, but also provides clearcut gender representation for the trans, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities respectively. I am a full time artist, avid sharps player, and community advocate. I run a kink oriented podcast called "Between The Cuffs," as well as a substack which provides a closer look into the processes behind my scenes, my art, and my mind. I run a discord server for my community of followers online, known as the painpack, and the discord functions as a way to provide community to kinky people, as well as educational opportunities. My biggest focuses are on art, and leaving an impact on the community, and it is something I will continue to focus on the rest of my life.
