The Joy of Bruises

I’ve played so infrequently recently, I’d forgotten how much fun it is to admire your bruises post-scene. After playing with Savannah last week I got a lovely collection of marks and bruises across my chest. Much slapping, biting and pinching was involved. Now every time I shower or get changed it makes me smile to see them again. I really should get beaten up more often.

Artwork is by Kahori.

Shadowplay

This very striking image comes courtesy of LA’s Mistress Rozz. I thought it made for a great contrast to yesterday’s image.

Both are ostensibly of the same thing: A close-up of a pro-domme and her controlled slave in a simple accessory free setting. However, the energy is totally different. Yesterday’s image was intimate and close, the domme physically wrapping herself around him. This is cold, impersonal and objectifying. The touch is enough to position him and no more. Both great shots, but showcasing very different D/s dynamics.

I sourced this via a tweet on Mistress Rozz’s twitter feed. You can find her professional site here.

Boots and Gloves

I have a session planned for latter this week. The first one in what feels like forever (technically 4 months). It’s giving me a nice anticipatory buzz. Not sure exactly what’ll be on the menu, but I am sure it’ll be fun. I’m craving some close physical contact, the kind of thing portrayed beautifully in this image. I love the sense of connection it shows.

This is another image off tumblr. I can’t locate the original but I’m fairly certain that’s an older shot from Domina M .

Deceptive

My first impression of this was that it’d be a fun femdom cartoon to share. It had a nice light flowy energy.  Then I looked a bit closer and realized it’s actually pretty intense. Heavy bondage and cuckolding wrapped in a deceptive presentation. I love the contrast between the style and the hot but serious scenario.

I found this on an old tumblr. I can’t find a direct attribution, but from the style I’d guess it’s by M Pluume.

Kitchen Minimalism

Another variation on the kitchen themed femdom shot. This time it’s a very stark setting created by Natalie Noir. I do hope he’s being careful with his knees and that fancy looking induction cooktop.

I find it interesting what different pro-dommes choose to feature for scene shots on their sites and social media. Obviously scenes set in dungeons are common to all. However – to paint in very broad brush strokes – there does seem to be some regional variation. I’d say the US pro-dommes don’t feature kitchen or service type settings that often. UK dommes tend to the more rustic and classic kitchen scenes (like yesterday’s post). And European pro-dommes lean towards these sleek and minimal settings. No idea why that is, but there’s probably an interesting study to be done on the cultural significance of it.

I sourced this image via this tweet. Natalie Noir is a Zurich based pro-domme whose primary site can be found here and twitter feed here.

Kitchen Maid

I’m continuing the domestic and kitchen theme with this shot from Mary, a Bristol and London based pro-domme. I like the idea, but can’t help thinking a slightly longer maids dress might be needed. Nobody want’s hairy naked wobbly bits around kitchen table height. The playboy bunny ears and stockings do make for a fetching look though.

If you’d like to schedule a session with Mary, and maybe try a similar outfit on for yourself, her scheduling info is here.

Want

Gillian Anderson has edited a new book – ‘Want: Sexual Fantasies’. It’s a collection of anonymous sexual fantasies written by women and curated by Anderson. It’s obviously inspired by the 70’s classic ‘My Secret Garden‘ by Nancy Friday. I remember sneaking a copy of that off my parents shelf and shocking my teenage self with how explicit and unfiltered it was. That was of course pre-internet. I suspect modern readers will be a bit harder to startle.

It’d be interesting to compare the two books, given the 50 years gap between them. Amazing to think how much the world of media, erotica and communication has changed since then. Human desires in contrast are far slower to shift, if they ever do.

The only thing that gives me pause is that the stories this time were collected via an anonymous internet portal. I hope there was some sort of guards in place to ensure the submissions were actually from women. Nobody needs the collected fantasies of horny online men. That’s already a significant fraction of the internet.

This is Gillian Anderson shot for Porter magazine. Apparently one of the fantasies in the book is hers, although she has not said which.
