Wave your hands (and feet) in the air

I was taken by these polished wooden stocks. It’s unusual to see the all in one design, with both hands and feet captured. It creates an animal style pose, like a dog rolling over to get its tummy scratched. Although in this case, milking rather than scratching seems to be the order of the day.

Milking in wooden stocksI found this on the bdsm ++ tumblr site (aka cbtplay).

Bite

Here’s another image from the Aeric Meredith-Goujon photography site. It’s a shot that manages to be both intimate and brutal all at the same time. It has a suggestion of vampirism, and of course that’s a theme known for blending the sensual with the sadistic. Biting always walks that particular erotic line for me. There’s the warmth of the breath against the skin, the soft moist touch of the lips, and then the sharp pulling pain of the teeth as they pinch and twist.

A better use of chains

After my comments in the last post about the chain top, I stumbled across this far better use of chains. Those are some pretty solid links and shackles and, while I like the pose, it doesn’t look like a particularly comfortable one to be in for any length of time.

I have to admit to possessing a very high degree of naïveté about bondage in my early years of kink. Which is to say, back in the years where I browsed and watched, but never participated. My first naïve assumption was that bondage was all about restraint and control, and not about pain. Of course in reality, bondage is an incredibly effective way to inflict pain. It works for creating everything from a slow building suffering to an almost immediate screaming agony. Some rope and an inventive top are all that’s needed to satisfy both my submissive and masochistic side for many hours.

My second naïve assumption was that bondage was easy. I’m ashamed to say I assumed that ‘bondage model’ meant someone prepared to be tied up and photographed. Not someone who had a particular BDSM skill set. Sure, when I saw images like this one, or this one, I might have acknowledged that some poses might take perhaps a few hours practice to really master. But for the more standard stuff – (Jeremy Clarkson voice) – how hard could it be? Fortunately I’m now a little wiser. A really satisfying and lengthy bondage scene takes significant skill on the part of the top, and a fair degree of physical and physiological stamina on behalf of the bottom. And that’s just for a private play session. Add in a photographer, lighting and the need to deliver dozens of high quality images that you can charge for, and you’re looking at some real kinky mojo on all sides.

Spot the difference

I came across these two images on two different tumblr sites at two very different times. However, they’re clearly from the same sequence of images, original shot for the Russian Mistress site.

The models posture has obviously changed, but there’s another subtle difference between the shots. Either there’s a leak in the roof, or somebody has done a pretty poor job in the catching and drinking department. Let’s hope he’s a little more efficient when it comes to clean-up duty.

Incidentally, is it just me, or do other people also hate that type of top she’s wearing? The model is gorgeous, as are the boots and the pose, but I always find those kind of decorative chain tops ridiculous. The chains give weird dom/sub messages, and they don’t conceal, support or enhance anything that I can see. I always think this kind of top is classic mainstream fetish wear for people who don’t really get fetish. That said, if she happened to be looking for another slave who could potentially do a slightly better job of keeping the table dry, I wouldn’t necessarily make ditching the top a prerequisite.

Vernice61 Art

This rather wonderful pencil drawing is from an artist known as Vernice61 who, based on the speech bubbles, I assume is Italian. Using the Google translate tool, I can just about figure out what is being said. The woman on the right of the victim is saying something about standing still, while the woman on the left is saying “Now you can see how we treat inept servants.” The woman on the sofa is instructing the maid to join her daughters and apply the electrical device to the balls, while the seated man is pleading “Please ladies, I beg not the electrical tool.”

Vernice61 Femdom ImageThere are a number of his drawings available on this thread on the snail meilk site. That thread also includes the full size version of this image, which is 3MB+ in it’s original form. Unfortunately I can’t find any more permanent sites hosting his work at present. It looks like he had a deviant art site at one time, but that’s now dead. If anyone can point me at a homepage, or any kind of more permanent location for his work than an image board, I’d be very grateful.

Updated Femdom Image Page

I’ve added four new entries to the femdom image page, as well as doing a little bit of shuffling of entry order. Two of the new entries are blogs: Femdom Empire and Yes Mistress! The other two are tumblr sites that I’ve been browsing recently: Celibate Husband and Onania Org/asm.

Kiss Kiss Slap Whap

While I’d describe myself as both a submissive and a masochist, I’d always put my masochism before my submission. The D/s and power exchange components are a critical part of a scene for me, but it’s the pain that brings those elements into focus. I’m certainly not a service submissive. If you want something cleaned or tidied then I’ll be happy to hire you a housekeeper. I have better (for me) things to do.

As such, I’ve never made body worship a critical part of scenes I’ve done. This isn’t to say I don’t enjoy kissing a dominant woman’s feet, or ass, or indeed any part of her body that I’m allowed to touch. It can be a very pleasant experience, and one that helps achieve a certain initial head space. But it always struck me as a kind of BDSM foreplay. Nice to do if the domme wants to take the scene in that direction, but really just a happy bonus to the main event.

However, when playing with Domina Yuki last week, I discovered a quite new aspect of worship that made me view it in a very different light. We’d been doing some fairly intense pain play, whipping my back and then heavily torturing my nipples. As a result of this I was fairly deep in subspace, and feeling that wash of positive emotions I often get towards a dominant in that situation – gratitude, affection, caring, closeness, protection, etc. In the past this has often led me to thank the dominant, typically immediately after she’s done something particularly vicious to me. This has not been a rote thank-you, demanded as part of the scene, but an instinctive one, originating from my desire to acknowledge the emotions I’m feeling.

In this particular scenario, while experiencing these similar emotions, Mistress Yuki demanded that I kiss her ass. Suddenly, an act that was previously playful and erotic, had been transformed into something that was far more powerful. It created a physical manifestation of what I was feeling, and gave me an outlet for my emotions. Nothing at that moment was more important than those kisses and what they represented. She managed to create a perfect moment, intimacy mixed with submission, eroticism mixed with catharsis. I kissed and was profoundly grateful to do so.

A trip to see Domina Yuki

A couple of months ago I posted some shots of an interrogation scene featuring Domina Yuki. At the time I commented I was heading down to the bay area later in the year and was hoping to get a chance to see her in person. Well that chance arrived last week, and I had a couple of hugely enjoyable sessions in her San Francisco play space. Given we were just getting to know each other, and exploring numerous activities, we didn’t stop for lots of photographs. However, we did break once to snap a shot of a piercing she particularly enjoyed. I’ll warn you ahead of time – it’s a close-up of a genital piercing, with the skin folded in kind of an unusual way. Should that sound like something you might want to look at, the link is here.

Of course I can’t let a post referencing the beautiful Domina Yuki go by with a close-up of my cock as the only photograph around. That would be a missed opportunity of almost criminal proportions. So here she is in an image I lifted from her tumblr site.

Domina YukiI wrote up a review of my sessions over at the Max Fisch forums. And should you be interested in seeing her yourself, her session request form is here.

For all sufferers of misandry

I came across this interesting post (via bondage blog) on the difference between BDSM and misogyny/misandry. It’s a controversial discussion area in some political circles (although probably not among readers of this blog) and I like the way the writer addressed it.

I just like being beaten by the person who loves me because it’s sexy, because power games are hot, and it’s not about sex, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or ANY of that shit, some of us just like being submissive in the bedroom and some of us just like being dominant. End of goddamn story.

It’s written by The Peacock Angel who describes herself as a “kinky atheist feminist submissive dyke… and a professional dominatrix.”

Happy Anticipation?

I always enjoy a happy looking natural domme. There’s nothing more exciting to me than a real sadist who gets off on what she’s doing. But I do hope in this image it’s a happiness born of anticipation, rather than an after the fact celebration. His ass looks like it’s had a nice warm-up, but it is far too unmarked and welt free to have fully experienced that cane she’s holding.

Happy Domme with CaneI found this on the SirCane tumblr site, which features caning and paddling in all gender combinations.
