“Switch: 1) some or all of the roles, some or all of the time. 2) Your answer to “top or bottom?” is “Yes,” 3) You don’t have to be into all the roles, but you could be. You have a lot of interests. Aka Versatile, Vers, Flexible, etc.”
Intergalactic HardCore Switch
Yep, we see you, going back and forth and up and down and every which way. You’re the middle management. You’re the Beta pack dog. You’re the wrestling jocks flipping each other, again and again. It takes skills to get that kind of play going and we want to see more of it. Wanna have a back patch that gives you a reason to spread your love of all things play? Come and get it! This title is going to the player with a kaleidoscope of kinks, who’s ready willing and able to get a room going because we want you!
Intergalactic Power Bottom
Are you a bottom who knows what you want and isn’t afraid to go for it? Do you value your limits while seeking your edges? Are you often found instigating play? Excited to take one for the team, or from the team? This title is for you. This role is about honoring the power bottoms have, from receiving pain and humiliation, to giving service and taking orders. We know it takes tough stuff to take it. We want you to show us your super Power Bottom skills!
“Power: 1) expressing and asking for your desires while knowing, loving and communicating your limits. 2) a supernatural being, deity, or entity. 3) a great force or talent”
“Bottom: 1) taking or receiving intense sensation, energy, and/or experiences, including BDSM, FFing, service, and/or your favorite kink. 2) intentionally stretching physical / psychological/ emotional limits for personal growth, recreation or sexual release.
“Ethical: avoiding activities that do harm to people”
“Sadist: a person who derives pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from dominating, controlling, or inflicting pain or humiliation on others.”
Intergalactic Ethical Sadist
The Intergalactic Ethical Sadist will go to a player who exemplifies the ability to indulge our love of power exchange, control, pain, suffering, embarrassment, humiliation, and/or domination while consciously practicing BDSM in a way that centralizes consent. We’re looking for a skilled top who practices clear communication; values open, honest negotiation of limits and expectations; and is drawn to playing on the edge. Do you love taking a bottom up to their limit but not past it? Does your play clear a dungeon or captivate a room? This title is for you!

Keeping us up to date and communication can reduce many of these concerns.
