Spuffy

This originally caught my eye just because I thought it was a cute – and hot – pegging scene. I’m always a fan of being face to face rather than the more common doggy style.

However, on researching it, I realized it’s also fan art of Spike and Buffy of vampire slaying fame. Which makes me love it even more, given I’m a huge fan of the characters and the show. Buffy was totally the top in that relationship, whatever Spike might have thought.

The artist is Auia AKA awabubbles. Sadly, they’ve not posted for years and most of what they have posted is M/m. Still I’ll take a little spuffy loving when I can find it.

Reducing Anxiety

The NY Post has an article suggesting spanking can reduce anxiety and interrupt fretful thought loops. It’s probably just an excuse to feature a sexy pic or two, but I’ll take a mainstream article with a positive spin on kink. Particularly one that’s gender neutral and doesn’t take male dominance as the default.

I always used to find thwacky impact play soothing, but in the last year or so it has been more of a mixed bag. I think my skin has got more sensitive as I’ve got older and sometimes blows will trigger itching and an unpleasant heat. Maybe I just need to moisturize more. Certainly when I can get into the right zone, a good spanking is a lovely way to destress.

I’m not sure of the source of this photograph. I have a suspicion it’s really old. Not 100% sure but it reminds me of a spanking series that was floating around on usenet 20+ years ago.

Grief Encounter

This site gave me  bit of a scare this week. First I couldn’t update or create new posts. Then I couldn’t log in at all. Fortunately, the hosting company has efficient technical support and got it all sorted out. Normal service has been resumed.

I was actually a little surprised at how concerned I was. I’ve been blogging for a longtime now. When I started I had daily posts. Now it’s more like 3 or so a week. I occasionally wonder if/when I’ll stop. Based on my reaction to the technical gremlins, it probably will not be soon. Felt very weird not being able to log in and post.

Anyway, back to the Femdom salt mines, digging up imagery and links of interest. Here’s a nice case in point. The image is from a short film caused ‘Grief Encounter’.  It features a woman picking up people at funerals to take advantage of their ‘overwhelmed’ state.

The film was directed by Ellen Pearson and produced by Erika Lust. If the actress looks familiar, that’s because it is domme Eva Oh, who I’ve featured here before.

To Nut or Not To Nut

We’re out of Loctober and into No Nut November. It’s just an endless festival of none orgasms at this time of year.

I tend to subscribe to the views expressed in this Stockroom article about No Nut November. Loctober puts the focus on kink and is therefore sex positive. Even if the end result for participants is negative sex. NNN unhealthily shifts the emphasis more to shame and suppressing desire. That’s not surprising given it’s original growth in incel culture.

That said, there are people out there trying to reclaim it and give it a happy new home in kink. For example, the most excellent Maya Midnight posted this to Bluesky.

No Nut November actually started as a lame anti-porn thing but has since become a sexy chastity thing and I just think that’s beautiful

Let’s hope it keeps trending in that direction.

Mentioning Maya does give me an excuse to share this lovely image of her. I’ve always been a big fan of grey hair. And of men in cages of course. This is from her Bluesky feed. You can find her professional site here.

Down Boy

I’m a little behind on my internet culture. When I first spotted this on a tumblr I thought it was just a cute femdom drawing. However, apparently it’s a meme format based on a purported Archie comic from 1975. Redraws of it have been showing up over the last year or so with different characters. It’s not even clear if the original ever existed, although Archie certainly has form in this respect. Whatever the origins and the recent interpretations, I’m a fan.

I’m afraid I don’t know how created this redraw. I think it might be yet another weird internet culture mash-up of these two characters.

Witch and Familiar

As we head into Halloween, here’s some seasonally suitable artwork. It’s by Sean (AKA seansketches) and described as ‘Witch Ada and her Leon familiar.’ If you enjoy this piece you’ll be happy to know it’s one of a series of three.

I feel more witches should have Himbo familiars. Terry Pratchett has of course already blazed that trail with the story of Greebo in Witches Abroad.

The Chancellor

Here’s some cute artwork to head into the weekend with. It’s from a series of four drawings by Yumine Guo, based on a story by Lutarrel.

The Chancellor took the studious third-born, training him to be useful to her in many ways – in public he was her focused administrative secretary; in private he was her footstool when work was long, her punching bag when work was hard, and her personal whore when work was over.

That’s the kind of administration I could really get behind.

You can find more from Yumine on Subscribe Star and more from Lutarrel on AO3.

Mad Science

Here’s another image to continue the theme of intense, equipment heavy sessions. This time it’s one that popped up on my Bluesky feed from Odette Engle. I’ve seen and enjoyed vacuum powered penis milking devices like that before, but the vacuum bra set-up is unusual and new to me. The boots with individual toes and the finger bondage set-up is also very cool. Looks like a great set-up to be the center of.

This was sourced from Odette Engle’s Bluesky feed. She’s an SF based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her Clips Store here.

Annual Tradition

It’s the tenth month of the year, which can mean only one thing in Femdom social media. Lots of posts about Loctober.

I’d be fascinated to know how many submissives actually participate in it versus how many dommes advertise it. My instinct is that there’s a lot more of the latter than the former. However, regardless of the actual numbers, if you are participating then the very best of luck. May your October be full of frustration, denial and unmet urges.

This image is from Adreena Winters back in 2023. She’s clearly a fan of the tradition, recently publishing a video on it and a blogpost.
