Tabletop

A couple of weeks ago I featured a scene with someone’s head buried into a table. This hairy gentleman is in pretty much the reverse position to that, with just the head sticking out. It looks relatively comfortable for him but less so for her, which seems like the reverse of how it should be. I can’t imagine balancing like that on a hard wooden table would be all that conducive to orgasmic bliss.

TabletopI’m afraid I have no idea who the original artist for this was. If you can help me attribute it then please leave a comment.

Damned man

Researching the history of the artwork below led me on an interesting trail. It was originally from a 60’s pulp crime novel entitled ‘The Damnation of Adam Blessing‘. That was published under the name of Vin Packer, but was actually written by Marijane Meaker, who went on to write award winning adult fiction and be given the Trailblazer Award for groundbreaking work in lesbian fiction. She also at one pointed dated Patricia Highsmith. The title of the book went on to inspire the name of an acid rock band in the late 60’s.

I’m always a sucker for crime novels from this era as well as the dramatic and lurid artwork they often feature. I may have to hunt this particular one down.

Adam BlessingDespite tracking down a lot of the background on the book, I sadly couldn’t find a name for the cover artist.

Updated: Thanks to a very helpful comment from francois I can now attribute this to Robert McGinnis. He is a prolific illustrator of book and movie covers.

Service spanking

That’s enough posts about politicians. How about some vintage lesbian spanking to cleanse the palette?

What grabs me about this image is the expression of the spankee. She seems particularly poised and satisfied. It almost looks like a case of the rare dominant bottom. She’s in charge and getting what she wants.

That’s Mistress Hillary to you

I couldn’t do posts on politics and photoshopped images without featuring this famous one of Hillary Clinton. It’s from Spy magazine in 1993. That was Bill’s first term, when Hillary was driving for a health care plan known (inevitably) as Hillarycare.

These days this would be considered as the kind of amateur photoshop job that can pop up anywhere on the internet,, but back then it was fairly eye catching.  I remember seeing it and feeling oddly aroused. This was from a time when I hadn’t fully figured my sexuality out. I wonder how many Senators and Congressmen – from both sides of the aisle – saw it and felt the same way?

Not so Super Tuesday

It’s hard to avoid politics in America right now. I suspect that might be true for most of 2016, which is a depressing thought.

Despite the vast amount of idiocy on display, there is the odd amusing moment. John Oliver is always brilliant and his take on Trump was true to form. On a topic closer to this blog, I liked the dommes raising money for Bernie. Fifteen minues of spanking for $27 is pretty good value. Of course, when it comes to the political candidates, I’m sure many people would pay to administer the spanking. I’d certainly chip in a few bucks for Megyn to straighten Donald out.

MegynAndDonaldThis is obviously a photoshop. I’m afraid I don’t know who created the original.

Update: Thanks to a helpful comment I can attribute the creator as Andy over at the Someone’s Gonna Get It site. Thanks for creating such a fun image!

Elaborate arrangement

The bondage here isn’t elaborate, but the arrangement she has come up with certainly is. It looks like his head is held under the chair, and then there’s a pulley apparatus to connect her footrest to his testicles. I can’t say I’d want to give it a try myself, but I do admire the ingenuity. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this exact set-up before.

Elaborate ArrangementThis image was sent to me by a reader – thanks Marga! It’s on a bunch of tumblr’s (for example) but I’m afraid I couldn’t find an original attribution.

Excessive

This image continues the theme of heavy and elaborate bondage. Although in this case it seems possibly a little too elaborate. There’s a latex outfit, a tight hood, chains, cuffs, plastic wrap and some fairly intense CBT. All that seems like a fun time, but what’s with the stockings? Did they think it’d all be too pedestrian with throwing some cross dressing in there? I’m all for exploring and layering kinks, but how many can you really enjoy at any one time?

Elaborate bondage

I’ve enjoyed two recent posts from Mistress Sidonia – Mansels in Distress Part 1 and Part 2. In general I find that there’s a lot more fancy bondage and interesting predicaments in M/f and M/m porn than in F/m. Probably that’s due to the fact that the first two tend to focus more on the submissive, where femdom porn often puts the dominant center stage. That’s not to say there’s not plenty of bondage in femdom material, it just often seems to be a means to an end, rather than the end itself.

Whatever the reason, it’s a pity, because heavy bondage can be hot to look at and experience. I’ve had some amazing and intense experiences with mummification, heavy leather sacks and vacuum beds over the years. Where activities like corporal and piercing are often about the dynamic between me and the dominant, heavy bondage can turn me inward and create a more reflective headspace.

Creative kink

It’s not femdom, but I thought this article on the composer Georg Friedrich Haas was interesting. On the surface it’s interesting just for the people and dynamic involved. At the meta level it’s interesting how it was covered in a very clear and non-sensational fashion by a mainstream newspaper.

PianoThis lady has obviously misplaced her piano stool, but she’s not letting a silly thing like that stop her bashing out a tune or two.

Project manager

I’m afraid my blogging might be a bit erratic for the next few weeks. I have contractors in to do some remodeling work on my place. Unfortunately our work habits don’t mesh all that well. I like to stay up late drinking wine and writing. They like to turn up very early and hit things with hammers. Asking them to hammer quietly has so far not met with success. The end result is a grouchy paltego with not much time to write at night before he falls asleep.

What I really need is a take charge project manager who can get things done in half the time and a quarter the volume. The lady below looks like she wouldn’t take any nonsense when it came to civilized working hours.
