Devil and Angel

This image makes me think of fairytale stories. A devilish witch doing bad things to an angelic innocent. Oddly, it also makes me think of cosplayers. Partly because anime and videogames tend to surface the underlying moral traits of characters in their appearance. But mostly because cute girls in wigs and monotone fetishwear is popular in cosplay.

Black And  WhiteSadly I don’t know of the original source for this image. I found it at the latex thing tumblr site.

Decadence

There’s nothing too unusual (in the world of this blog at least) about beautiful imposing women in leather. But something about adding fur into the mix creates a far more decadent and sensual image. I think it would add an interesting component to a scene, a powerful contrasting element between the pain and discomfort of the submissive and the relaxed mistress luxuriating in a thick fur.

The two women in question here are Cybill B. Troy (a pro-domme based out of NYC) and Delilah Doi (who I can’t locate a current website for).

90’s Flashback (continued)

Continuing my root through the archives, after the earlier Leda post, I came across this image from Taboo magazine. I don’t post a vast amount of F/f material here, but some images are too good not to share.

Taboo always struck me as an odd magazine. For its time it was fairly extreme, and touched themes rarely seen in other glossy top shelf magazines. It also hired very attractive models, used high end fetish gear, and was edited by Ernest Greene, a well known member of the BDSM community. It looked like it should have every ingredient necessary to produce some great fetish and BDSM pornography. And yet it always seemed to me that they frequently hired photographers who really didn’t get kink. They’d chop and change D/s roles as sequences progressed, have models take off the fetish gear mid-way through, and frequently end scenes with conventional legs spread faked lesbian sex shots.  It was as if they didn’t quite believe they could do a purely kink based photo shoot and still make money. It really wasn’t until post 2000 that we finally saw other companies successfully pull together high end production values and really serious BDSM and fetish play.

Fortunately, some of the Taboo photographers did get it, and the sequence this image was taken from was always a favorite of mine.

Showing off her pet

Just for a change, a little Femdom/Femsub material. Perhaps a little eye bleach for some people, after the last rather graphic post.

The big pump gag and blindfold are kind of fun. But it’s the proprietorial arm around the shoulder and on the chest that I really like. There’s an element of comfort and reassurance there. But also an element of ownership and of showing off her pet to the camera.

Mistress with female petSadly I’ve no idea of the names for this cute couple, or where I found this.

Human Pets (part 3)

Just for a change, a little femdom/femsub material.

Unlike the idea of being a caged indoor pet, the concept of being a pony never does a lot for me. I suspect that’s because pony play implies the idea of work. Hard work. Pulling buggies. Offering rides. Trotting around fields. I find it tough to fetishize anything that involves me doing a lot of manual labor. *

However, I decided to post this anyway. Partly because I think the pony boots and the bit gag are sexy. But mostly because it features Ashley Renee. She was one of the first bondage models I saw online and I’ve always had a soft spot for her (probably not the most appropriate expression in this case). She always looks great in a gag. I found this on human pony tumblr site, but it’s obviously originally from Ashley’s own site.

Ashley Renee as a Ponygirl* On the off-chance that readers are now picturing me a short fat nerd aghast at the thought of physical work, I feel I should point out I’m a skinny 5’10”. If you want to whip me that’s great. Just don’t expect to pull anything at the same time. I’ll hire you a truck if stuff needs moving.

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.

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.

Hooded

I have erosblog to thank for pointing me towards this photograph of this beautiful leather hood. It’s taken from this gallery on the topgrl site.

If you’ve never played with hoods you might be tempted to dismiss them as simply a nice way to depersonalize someone. That was certainly my original naive take on them. They looked fun as way to experiment with objectification, but didn’t seem to offer much as a device of torment or punishment. After all you can still hear (vaguely), talk (or mumble) and breath (just). Could wearing one really be any different to just keeping your eyes closed?

Having now played with various types of hoods (including this one minus the additional outer straps), I can honestly say that nothing raises my pulse rate and stress levels quicker than seeing a hood come out. You can electrocute me, burn me or stick needles in me and I’ll be fine. Noisy, but fine. Hoods, on the other hand, are far more problematic. The sensation of losing control of key senses, coupled with physical restraint, has a major psychological effect. The only way I can normally deal with it is to mentally picture the dominant and project onto her. I try to detach from whatever panic signals my mind and body are throwing at me and focus only on an internal and idealized view of the mistress. Which, of course, is exactly the kind of effect you’re after in D/s play.

Leather HoodAnother photograph in the series shows the mistress raising the stakes with some breath control play. This is obviously a tricky area to play in, and certainly not something to try alone. But if you can find someone experienced enough, and who you absolutely trust to do it, then I’ve found this can be an incredible experience. Nothing gets me into subspace quicker than the combination of bondage, sensory deprivation and somebody toying with my ability to breath. Giving someone else the power over something so fundamental very quickly creates a deeply submissive state.
