When I was at the tender age of eighteen, I was at the most activist stage in life. I was vegan and straight edge. I wore big boots, had a mohawk and even played in a Misfits tribute band. One day when I was riding on the Metro, I ran into a woman wearing a fur coat… my blood started to boil… my heart started to pound and I couldn’t breathe. I felt so terrible for all the little animals she killed to get her coat and I just had to speak out. After I did approach and attack her with my PETA-like logic, she looked down at my boots and said “you are wearing leather”.

We’re all hypocrites from one time or another… right?

Today I found a great site that allows vegan BDSM lovers to carry out their fetish fantasies without worrying about killing animals to do so: VeganErotica.com. I linked to the site from the article Whip It Good posted today in Salt Lake City Weekly. The article questions the paradox of animal-rights activists engaging in BDSM and the owner of VeganErotica.com clarifies the idea as follows:

“It’s not cruel. I mean, I think it’s cruel to hold someone down and tickle them if they don’t want to be tickled,” she says, adding that she’d rather be restrained and flogged than tortured with tickles.

Unlike animal testing, BDSM is largely consensual and therefore not the least bit harmful, she observes. “If someone wants to be whipped, why is that cruel? Some people like to have rough sex. Some people like having their hair pulled—it’s just something they’re into,” she says. “The pleasure you experience when you orgasm is so much that it’s really close to pain, but you would never think it’s cruelty if someone inflicts it upon you.”

The products on sale at VeganErotica.com include everything from pleather belts to pleather whips, but I’m afraid they cannot supply you with vegetables to supplement plastic dildos… those you still have to buy at the supermarket.
