Domination and Submission make up the heart of BDSM. While BDSM includes more than can be imagined, the majority of BDSM involves power imbalances. It is tantalizingly erotic to dominate someone, and there’s something equally thrilling about submitting. The role you take is a matter of personal preference, and just as both morning and midnight passions are thrilling, and menthol and warming lube each have their place, dominating and submitting differ but can be equally sexy.

The Harlem Quartet. sphinxmusic.org
On Sunday, September 20th, Oberlin’s Artist Recital Series presented The Sphinx Chamber Orchestra and Harlem Quartet. Rarely do I hear such glee or see such joy in onstage, especially on every face of the twenty-plus musicians onstage during yesterday’s concert. Both groups simply exuded a sense of feeling privileged to be playing such great music.
