Links
My links page lists sites I find of interest and of value in some way; I do not necessarily endorse everything associated with a link, its corresponding website or the body behind the respective site. As a mature adult you are capable of forming your own opinions and making your own decisions.
Cultural links
Coilhouse: a self-proclaimed "love letter to alternative culture”. US-based but international in scope, on the web and in print. Intelligent, and covering a wide range of topics.
Index on Censorship: as the name suggests, this is the website of the journal concerned with documenting and exploring issues of censorship on a global scale. This link could just as easily be with the "Freedom of expression” links, above, but the cultural aspect of this journal makes it a worthwhile addition here.
It’s Just a Hobby: an interesting name for a "scene-community” blog that focusses on BDSM issues with a serious and thoughtful perspective that crosses into social issues generally. British, but more like something I’d expect to find in America.
Law & Sexuality: the UK-based blog of legal academic Chris Ashford, of the law department, Northumbria University. Well worth a look for information and discussion of events concerning the intersection of law, society and politics in matters of sexuality in the UK.
Revise F65: a Norwegian website leading a Scandinavian-based campaign to have fetishism and sadomasochism removed from the UN World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD), where they are currently still listed as mental disorders. Revise F65 is also a good general source of news and information on the international fetish and BDSM scenes.
SomethingDark: a UK-based international cultural webmagazine. Sections on photography, art, fiction and nonfiction writing – all cutting-edge. The Leeds-based comic artist Geof Banyard has a regular spot in "SDk” with his Fetishman character. Thoroughly recommended, wherever you are.
Supervert: pure culture of a particularly, deliciously, perverted kind. A "super pervert” indeed. As entertaining as it is informative.
Freedom of expression
Backlash (UK): the organisation formed to campaign against the UK’s "extreme pornography” law and that now assists those falling afoul of the law, where there is no victim of genuine abuse, to fight their case in court.
CAAN (UK): Consenting Adult Action Network the organisation formed to campaign for the right of consenting adults to conduct themselves in private life as they see fit, which, at an even more basic level, translates into a broader human rights agenda to reclaim privacy and the right to free and self expression.
Electronic Frontiers (Australia): is a non-profit national organisation founded in 1994 to protect and promote the civil liberties of users and operators of computer-based communications systems, to advocate the amendment of laws and regulations in Australia and elsewhere (both current and proposed) that restrict free speech, and to educate about the social, political and civil liberties issues involved in the use of computer-based communications systems.
Libertus (Australia): A site treating issues of censorship and freedom of expression in Australia and elsewhere, founded and maintained by Dr Irene Graham.
Melon Farmers (UK): Where you can find all manner of coverage on issues of importance with an emphasis on censorship.
NCSF (US): the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is committed to creating a political, legal and social environment in the United States that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions.
Spanner Trust (UK): the longest-running UK BDSM rights organisation, formed in 1995 as a result of the infamous "Spanner” trials of the early 1990s, when 16 gay men were given prison sentences of up to four and a half years or fined for engaging in consensual SM activity.
