Well, it’s still pretty damn hot out here, and there still isn’t anything going on in terms of kink in this household. But a girl still has to blog, right?

I’m feeling somewhat better tonight. I think my hormones were playing a bad trick on me this week… I’ve been pretty much irritable with everyone around me, Boy Toy first. Gah.

Anyway. So, I was thinking, since we’re taking a little break from kink, maybe now’s a good time for me to come up with all kinds of nasty ideas that I can keep in store for later. That’s always been my biggest problem when it comes to kink, I have a hard time thinking up something to do to my Boy Toy. I find a lot of inspiration online, actually. Reading some of you guys’ blogs, mostly. And this has got me wondering, how do you guys go about finding your own inspiration? Do you simply have a better imagination than I do? Is there some trick to it? Because if there is, I want in on it! lol…

Actually, I’m open to suggestions, you know. So if you ever feel like sending ideas my way, or even some naughty scenario… You can comment here or email me (kinkunleashed at gmail). I’d love to hear from you.

On another note, this blog is finally starting to bring me money. That’s right, boys and girls. A big 30$! No, seriously, I just checked up on my JT Stockroom affiliate account and that’s how much I’ve made so far. Truth is, I’m not doing this for the money (good thing, because I sure suck at it!), I mostly put the affiliate links up on Boy Toy’s urging. Still, a few dollars are always welcome, so thank you whoever bought those dirty little toys over at the Stockroom. None of the other sites have earned me anything yet. I received an email a few weeks back, another online sex store type thing suggesting I become their affiliate. It’s not up simply because I haven’t had the time to look it up, I’ve been that busy…

I think the whole money/blog thing is a bit of a delicate subject. I’m sure some see this as selling out or something, I don’t know. But frankly, it’s not as if all I ever did was promote products and convince people to buy this or that. *shrug* I also think the three banners I have up are of pretty good online stores. Well, especially the Stockroom, I love that site, I think it’s just about the best kinky store out there (that I know of), and I’m not just trying to get you to buy stuff, here

I’ve ordered from Extreme Restraints too and it worked out just fine, they have a pretty good selection but boy, I hate how all the comments on the products are so fake. I mean, have you ever seen a product rating lower than 5 out of 5 stars? Don’t get me wrong, when I ordered from them, I had no problem whatsoever. Yet at one point, I made up a comment on one of their items, gave it a bad review, and it’s just the strangest thing, it never made it on the site. I’m sure it’s just overzealous marketing.

As for Vibe Review, I’ve never ordered from them but I do like their site. I’ve used it in a sense, reading reviews of products I wanted to buy. The site is cute, non-threatening, probably made to be appealing to women, and that’s great! I can’t imagine some of my girlie co-workers buy anything from the Stockroom, so if a site gets them to buy toys, I’m all for it.

One site I definitely would become an affiliate of, if they had such a program, is Steelwerks. Damn but do I ever lust over their chastity devices. *sigh* One day…

What about you? Any thoughts on the whole affiliate thing? And any favorite site I may not know? And what about kinky/sex bloggers who review products? I haven’t done it yet, but I have to admit, I’ve been approached and I decided I’d do it. I selected my items, sent that along with my full name and address, and never heard from the company again. Fishy, or what? Let’s just say I was pretty damn angry. Angry with them and angry with myself. Anyone else had something like that happen to them?
