Press Releases – Page 10 – High Octane Heart Media & PR

The Dungeon Store Adding Books to Online Store

Special note: We didn’t just send out the release, but timed it right before vending at Tethered Together and Black Thorn’s Kinky Market. Placements were tweeted and we included a video for specials at the two events. This way, we got two press releases worth of coverage for one event, and promoted some saucy books! In addition, notice the anchored text. While I can’t control the SEO of a press release published in AVN or Xbiz, when we post here and adult press boards, we can anchor links for The Dungeon Store to keywords, improving SEO.

We avoid corrections when possible. There was also a hiccup with one of the two events where The Dungeon Store needed to cancel. Instead of issuing the correction, we dialed back on that specific event in social media. The issue was resolved and we brought them back into the social media as if nothing had happened. If we issued a correction, there would have been a mess.

World Wide Web – The Dungeon Store has added some of their most popular books and new titles to their online store at www.TheDungeonStore.com.

“We’ve always been proud to offer kinky books when showing at events, but recently, we’ve had the opportunity to share some of our most popular titles online,” said said Anne Bryne, founder of The Dungeon Store. “Most of these are privately published and can be hard to find in stock online. Among our top sellers are kinky educational books that address mental health and disabilities, such as ‘Mastering Mind,’ ‘Broken Toys,’ ‘Hell on Wheels,’ and ‘Kneeling in Spirit.’ We’ve found many customers will buy these four books together.”

There’s also titles for the curious such as “BARK!” for puppy role play, “Chain of Stars, the Astrology of Power Exchange,” and “First Hand, an Erotic Guide to Fisting.” The Dungeon Store also offers excellent books on rope bondage, including “Shibari You Can Use,” by Lee Harrington, considered to be one of the best books on the subject.

“Are you into humiliation play? Curious about it?” said Megatron. “Do you wonder why some people enjoy being embarrassed, shamed, and degraded? You’ll learn how to negotiate this kind of play, focus on emotional safety, inject humor into your emotional play, and more!”

In this workshop, Sunny Megatron deconstructs the physiological elements of erotic humiliation with the goal of helping figure out what flavor gets the juices flowing. Guests will learn how to gauge intensity levels levels ranging from playful embarrassment to hard-core degradation, and build humiliation scenes with positive outcomes in mind.

Jay Wiseman Returns to “In The Spotlight”

This marks Wiseman’s 2nd appearance on “In The Spotlight.” He was one of the first guests before the live shows could be archived.

Modern BDSM history is incomplete without acknowledging Wiseman’s contributions and leadership regarding safety and practices in kink. Over fifteen years before “50 Shades of Grey” appeared, Wiseman self published and distributed “SM 101,” one of the first definitive educational books on BDSM. He would soon partner with Lady Green of Greenery Press, helping establish the publishing company as an authority on kinky practices and fetishes.

“Jay Wiseman’s Erotic Bondage Handbook,” “Tricks – More than 125 Ways to Make Good Sex Better,” and “Dungeon Emergencies and Supplies” are just a few of the highly respected titles he has penned over his carrer.

Wiseman was already a legend in the San Francisco Leather community as a BDSM instructor with EMT field experience, when he decided to expand his credibility by studying law and passing the California State Bar exam. This knowledge earned Wiseman additional authority when it comes to teaching others to avoid physical harm and legal folly with kinky practices in the bedroom.

“In The Spotlight” airs from Sanctuary LAX Studios and is an opportunity to hear from legends in the field of sexuality, fetish and BDSM. Those featured are honored educators, experts, and mentors from the international kink community.

She has a wide variety of kinky specialties, including power exchange, degradation, foot domination and discipline.

Sanctuary LAX Launches Go Fund Me to Insure Future for the BDSM Space

Sanctuary Studios LAX, the largest dungeon in Southern California launched a Go Fund Me account this week to keep the location from closing — Click graphic to go directly to Go Fund Me page

Los Angeles, CA — Sanctuary Studios LAX, the largest dungeon in Southern California launched a Go Fund Me account this week to keep the location from closing. The link for donations can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-sanctuary?

“Since 2011, our community has called Sanctuary Studios LAX ‘home,’ ” said Mistress Cyan, Owner of Sanctuary LAX. “We have hosted fundraisers, weddings, memorials, support groups, educational classes, workshops, and social events. Every year our Thanksgiving and Christmas fundraisers have collected truckloads of food and toys for those less fortunate. Many call Sanctuary ‘the community center.’ ”

The 7,000+ square foot, fully equipped BDSM facility has served the professional and lifestyle BDSM community for over 20 years. During the week, Sanctuary LAX would serve as a sessions location for Dommes and subs, then after hours and on weekends would host countless numbers of events, many operating at the same time.

Joanna Angel, Ernest Greene, and Ken Marcus are just a few in the adult industry who have shot at Sanctuary LAX. Fat Mike of NOFX was among the most recent to shoot at the location for his show “Unsafe Words,” just before Covid-19 regulations would require Sanctuary LAX to close. During the summer, Mistress Cyan was allowed to briefly reopen for sessions, which ended after coronavirus cases surged last fall. The location has been legally open to private shoots with safety precautions, but those have been few.

“We thought we could ‘weather the storm’ with savings and the SBA loan,” said Cyan. “But those resources are being depleted. Every penny donated will go strictly towards the operating expenses such as rent, insurance, utilities, and loan payments. We want to be there for you again when it’s safe to re-open. Please consider helping us ride this out with your support so that we can continue to be that ‘community center’ once again. With sincere gratitude, I appreciate your support, both past and present. Please share this with your Leather families and friends in the adult industry and BDSM community.”

To be candid, while the real credit goes to Greene’s hard work and long career, when he told me he was not in the Hall of Fame, I nudged my Alma Mater in an e-mail. This was late in the game and I was not expecting anything until 2022. This would be at least the second time I nudged someone in, the first being Skye Blue when she was a publicity client. I’d swear there was a third I’ve recommended and gonna need to start writing these down. Congratulations Ernest. You’ve earned it!
