I’m always intrigued by the names porn sites choose. There’s such an broad range from the effective through the banal to the terrible.
Some of the femdom names I like includes Cruella (puts me in mind of evil Disney queens), Femme Fatale Films (descriptive and creative), Strapon Dreamer (explicit yet whimsical) and The English Mansion (brings to mind governesses, nannies and haughty ladies in jodhpurs). In the banal group I’d put things like Men In Pain, CBT and Ballbusting, Young Dommes, etc. They do exactly what it says on the tin, but there’s not a lot of imagination involved. Then there’s the ones that just make you go ‘huh?’ For example, Ballbusting Chicks (Chicks? Really?), Mean Dungeon (too anthropomorphic), Men are Slaves (seems kind of broad), Lethal Lipstick (sounds like a bad B movie) and anything involving the word bitches.
The image below is from Brutal Facesitting. Those are not two words that really belong together. And does anyone here look like they’re being brutalized? Give the dictionary definition of ‘savagely violent’ I would say not. I can’t see savagely violent cunnilingus being a winning technique for anyone.
“Mean Dungeon”? Isn’t that redundant? I mean, what else would it be, “Kind Dungeon”? Happy Dungeon?
But then again, many men in my dungeon are happy! And you’ve got to be cruel to be kind, and all that…
“Brutal facesitting” is retarded. Unless the guy’s technique is awful.
It is kind of redundant. Although it makes me think more in anthropomorphic terms, given the dungeon itself is supposed to be mean. I imagine the shackles spring to life and grabbing people, while the canes leap off the wall to administer beatings. A bit like Fantasia and Mickey as the Sorcerers apprentice, except with bondage gear and whips rather than mops and buckets.

Of course, “Happy Dungeon” … Mistress spends the happiest hours of Her life in Her dungeon, and regards it as the closest to paradise that She can imagine. It is, of course, HER dungeon, so She deserves to name it as She pleases.
Forcing Her slaves to call it … and think of it … as a happy place is, first, ironic mental torment, and second, educational. If slaves refer to the dungeon and what goes on within it as “Happy,” they will eventually think of torture as a happy experience for them, as it certainly is for Mistress. Once a slave enjoys pain suffered for its Mistress Owner, it has become fully and permanently submissive.
I’ve been noticing the “Brutal Facesitting” pictures on Tumblr, and the name just cracks me up.
Okay, look – anything with “Bitches” in the name is going to conjure up an image of cruel women. I can accept that. But when you consider the market that those sites are aiming at, what else could they use for names? You want people to be drawn to your site, and you need to use all the SEO tricks that you can think up.
It’s probably just a personal quirk, but I have a real dislike of bitches in this context. It’s such a negative description. I’d like my dominant women to be divine, but not bitches.
And I get the need to SEO, but prior to the Divine Bitches site, was that really a common femdom search term? Were guys really searching for ‘bitch women’ in their hunt for femdom material? It’s not a phrase I would have thought of, but maybe I’m unusual in that respect,
