Packed for a trip

It appears that her luggage is leaking. In my experience the travel accessory shops never seem to have exactly what you need. They’re always out of the basic stuff like catheters and diapers.

Leaking LuggageI’ve no idea who the artist is, other than the name ‘gig’. There’s a whole collection of images in two imagefap galleries here and here, with a mixture of f and Ff. They’re very curious drawings. A real mixture of the erotic, disturbing and weird. There’s a strong theme of body image and modification that runs through them. I’d guess that the artist is a woman, given the themes, but I’d love to know more (or indeed anything) about her background.

Capitalization Bullshit

Excuse me while I rant for a moment.

In browsing femdom blogs and forums, I’ve repeatedly come across an incredibly annoying affectation. In what I assume is an effort to reinforce someone’s dominant status, pronouns are consistently and incorrectly capitalized. For example – ‘…tomorrow She will do a scene….’ Or – ‘…with My favorite slave…’

I’ve seen this done from people on both sides of the D/s divide, so it’s clearly not just a few insecure dominants mangling the language in an effort to emphasize their status. It strikes me as completely ridiculous, and achieves nothing other than making comments and articles harder to read.

Amazingly, in what must be a deliberate effort to do something even more ludicrous, I’ve also noticed people trying to write both forms at once. For example – ‘…do Y/you find…’ Or – ‘…what would Y/you do?’

This puzzled me for a time, until I finally figured out that the writer was trying to cater for both dominant and submissive readers. Obviously as a lowly submissive I should read the lower-case version while mighty dominants can read the upper-case version and not get offended. There was a lot of swearing at my computer when that particular penny dropped.

Look, I don’t care how dominant you are. I don’t care if you walk everywhere on a fleshy path of prostrate submissives and reduce grown men to tears by a mere look. The English language is bigger and more important that you are. It’s a top, not a bottom. Stop trying to fuck with it.

Thank you. End of rant. We now return you to your normal scheduled programs.

Kink on G4

I came across this link on that favorite site of all procrastinators everywhere – fark.com. I’m not really sure what ‘Attack of the Show’ is, or who Candace Bailey is for that matter, but as far as mainstream representations of kink are concerned this one didn’t seem too terrible. It’s obviously mostly an excuse to show some attractive women in tight latex, but I can imagine at least a few people out there might have thought: “Hmmm, that looks kind of fun.” Which is better than the more usual: “Wow, what a bunch of freaks.”

The dominatrix in the clip is Mistress January Seraph. She does a pretty good job consider that the presenter looks great in latex but doesn’t know one end of a whip from another. And her playroom looks like a really fun place to session in. Here she is as ‘Nurse Seraph’.

Breath play with gasmask

Just before the Christmas break I did a very enjoyable breath play session with the extremely talented Lady Lydia. So in honor of that I thought a breath play post might be in order.

We’ve used gas masks when we’ve played previously, but this time it was just a section of plastic wrap draped across the mouth and nose. When the plastic is cold and stiff it moves around with each breath and it’s still possible to sneak a little oxygen in. But as it gets warmer and moister it begins to stick across the lips and nostrils. Eventually the exhale doesn’t dislodge it, and the inhale does nothing but pull it tighter and tighter. This creates a beautiful swirl of emotions: Helplessness, Submission, Fear, Sacrifice, Trust.

I’m not sure exactly what my expression was during the scene, but I’m guessing as the oxygen ran short, I was doing a little wide eyed staring like the model below.

Breath play with gasmaskI found this on the dddecember tumblr site. There are a couple of additional images from the same scene, including a shot with the dominants in frame, in posts here and here. From the watermark on the bottom of the image it appears it originally came from the freaks inside site.

Two poses

A nice contrast between his position of naked supplication and her more comfortable seated position. She looks very serious about everything. Although the strategic position of his head oddly reminds me of the end of the Austin Powers movie, with the naked couple and sequence of conveniently placed covering objects.

Position of supplicationI came across this on the dishevelled domina tumblr site. I can’t find an original attribution for the photographers anywhere.

Captioned Images

There’s a curious niche porn genre where people take existing images and re-purpose them by applying captions. Essentially they subvert and twist the original erotic intent into something more suited to their particular kink. Themes that repeatedly seem to crop up are cuckolding, chastity, forced homosexuality and incest. The popularity of these themes in this particular niche makes sense to me in two ways. Firstly, they’re infrequently represented in mainstream porn (although I have seen more cuckolding titles cropping up recently). And secondly, they require deeper context beyond what body parts are inserted where. An image of two men and a naked woman is a common and unexceptional threesome scene. To make it into a cuckolding scene means supplying additional non-visual information about the relationships between the participants.

A lot of the time that captions are so clumsy and badly written the whole thing fails horribly. But I am intrigued when somebody succeeds in drastically twisting the original image intent. Here’s a pretty good example, which takes a standard glamor pose and manages to imply chastity, cuckolding and forced homosexuality all in a single image. I found this in LittlemanRayburn’s galleries on imagefap.

CuckoldOne blog that has pushed this idea even further is the ‘suck it for her’ tumblr site. As the name suggests this is all about forced (or encouraged) homosexuality, with a side-order of cuckolding. But instead of using more neutral glamor style shots, the author there starts with very explicit images of women giving blowjobs. And then subverts what would normally be seen as a submissive female role into a dominant one. A couple of typical examples from there would be this post and this post.

The problem with browsing these kind of images is that after a while you start mentally captioning any suitable image you stumble across. I found the amazingly beautiful image below on the ‘purple’ bit tumblr site. And then had to mentally slap myself when I realized I’d spent 5 minutes staring at it trying to craft a good chastity/cuckold caption. Hopefully it will only be a temporary affliction.

Lingerie

Butterfly Boarding

I was completely unaware of this particular needle play technique until a few days ago, when I stumbled across a post on it via Mistress Sade’s blog. It instantly leapt high on my ‘to do’ list for 2011. It looks like it would be very intense.

For anyone as in the dark as I was, the photograph below should give you a pretty good idea of what happens. This particular image was taken from Domina Yuki’s site and, as you can see, she’s pulled the cock and balls through a board and then pinned it down with a large number of needles.

If you’re interested in more detail on exactly how it’s done, then the images from Mistress Sade’s blog post (entirely unrelated to the shot below) are considerably more graphic. I really advise you not to look if close-up images of needles and penis piercing is likely to disturb you. That said – the original blog post is here. I found the sequence of shots quite remarkable, both from the obvious skill in execution and the beauty of the arrangement.
