More Mummification

I hadn’t intended two posts on this topic, but here we are.

Part of the reason is that Cosmopolitan also posted an article on it, and it contains just as much handwringing as they other articles I referenced in the last post. Apparently wrapping someone’s body in plastic wrap is a super advanced kink that you should never do at home. Weird. It goes on to advocate for things like using a weighted blanket or noise cancelling headphones, which is pretty weak sauce. How about just telling people to not put anything around or above the neck?

However, the main reason for a second post is that I saw this post on Twitter. It’s by LustTek and, as far as I can tell from other posts like this and this, they’re building their very own mummification machine. It’s the kind of crazy kinky idea that is both totally OTT but also kind of awesome. I love to see projects like this. Although of course, this one actually is really dangerous! You could solo wrap yourself to death. Let’s hope Euphoria don’t decide to use it in Season 4, otherwise hand wringing in the press will be off the charts.

More mummification does let me feature an expert in it – Mistress Hinako. I’ve featured her work before (for example here and here). The shot is particularly sexy, given the contrast between the extreme mummification and her casual pose.

You can find more from Mistress Hinako on her website, her blog, her instagram and twitter.

Euphoria

The HBO show Euphoria is generating a bunch of coverage for its depictions of kink. It’s not a show I care to watch, so I’ve no idea how fair (or not) its coverage is. If the goal is controversy and debate, it’s certainly managed that.

The latest kink it has drawn on is mummification. That in turn has generated a lot of hand wringing about it’s potential dangers. For example, this Metro article and this in LAD Bible.

The concern seems a little misplaced to me. Or, perhaps more correctly, doesn’t draw the right distinctions. Wrapping plastic over the face for breathplay is definitely dangerous and not for beginners. However, that’s a different thing in my mind to mummification. Wrapping the body below the neck is a lot less risky. It’s not something to undertake lightly. You should always make sure you’ve done basic research, go slowly and have safety shears to hand. But it’s not a high risk activity like breathplay. In some ways it’s easier and less risky than regular bondage. A simple plastic wrap has less chance of causing nerve damage or twisting body parts awkwardly. I’ve done mummification lots of times and always felt safe. Only a small fraction of those experiences involved putting anything over my face.

This mummification shot from The English Mansion does feature something over his face. However, I doubt he’s going to object too much in this case.

Dreaming

From a modern artist in my last post to a vintage one in this. The artist here is Bernard Montorgueil, whose work dates back to the 1930’s.

I think this is lovely idea for a drawing. You have the sleeping man and his dream, a beautifully attired but translucent domme riding his naked body. This was a new image to me, which seems kind of odd for an artist whose work is almost 100 years old. It’s nice to discover something new in something old.

You can find this and others at the Honest Erotica site.

A Moment

Here’s a moment captured. Something lovely to start the weekend.

I originally stumbled across it via tumblr, but a bit of reverse image searching tells me this is Madame Lule, a Paris based Dominatrix and BDSM coach. She has any number of similarly striking photographs on her site, which is well worth exploring. If you’re in the Paris area, her session information can be found here.

Nothing Good

There’s been a lot of jokes about Kristi and Byron Noem in the last week. For anyone that missed it, Byron was outed for being into some mix of crossdressing / bimbo/ sissy fetish. Allegedly Kristi was also fucking her advisor Cory Lewandowski, so there’s also some potential for a cuckold kink in the mix as well.

People online have been having fun with it, but I just find it depressing. Liberals will say they’re not mocking the kink but the terrible hypocrisy of the pair. Conservatives will accuses liberals of hypocrisy in kink shaming. That is fucking ridiculous coming from them, but it won’t stop it happening. A good number from both sides will in fact mock the kink. Nobody wins and everyone suffers. Frankly, I couldn’t care less what happens to the Noems. They seem like terrible people. But it’s clearly not helpful to the kink community or anyone with similar fetishes.

A lot of domme’s were critical of the effort put into the crossdressing. I’m not going to do that. Who knows what the dynamics of it was. However, it does give me an excuse to publish a well executed sissy maid set-up. This is obviously from the English Mansion.

Medical Miracle

I found this Guardian article on the mapping of the clitoral nerves amazing. Unfortunately, I don’t mean that in a good way. The bits that amazed me were…

  • The clitoris did not even make it into standard anatomy textbooks until the 20th century.
  • In the 38th edition of Gray’s Anatomy in 1995 it was introduced as just “a small version of the penis”
  • The nerves of the penis were mapped 30 years ago, but it’s taken till now for the clitoris to get the same attention.

That’s an amazing lack of attention to a major organ possessed by 4+ billion people. According to this article it actual did get some minimal coverage in Gray’s early anatomy textbooks  but was removed in 1948! Then it re-appeared in the 1960’s, but incorrectly described.

Imagine if medical researchers paid a similar lack of attention to other major body parts?  “We’ve heard of these odd knee things, but we’re not sure if they’re really worth covering. Something to do with the bending of the legs? Seems a bit of a niche interest.”

Image features someone doing their own hands on anatomical research. Although maybe that should be mouth on research. Not sure of the original source. I located it via tumblr.

Sniffing the Pits

I’m continuing the scent theme from the last couple of posts. After previously featuring panties and shoes, we’ve moving up the body to that other great scent center – armpits. I think they’re more of a niche interested compared to the previous sources, but they definitely have their fans.

I couldn’t decide which image to pick, so this is a two for one deal. The first is LA based Daddy An Li, in a shot from one of her clips. The second is Tokyo based Mistress Youko (more links available here). I’m a fan of keeping armpit hair, so I particularly appreciate this shot. For scent play it’s a real plus.

More Sniffs

That last post has inspired me to do a series on a scent theme. I don’t think I’ve done one of those before.

Scent is one of those things that held little interest for me when I started exploring kink. Now – for reasons I can’t explain – it has turned into a major kink. Odd how these things evolve over time. I think part of the appeal is that it’s intimate, but in a slightly dirty degrading way.

This makes for a nice twist on the usual shoe licking scene. Her hand behind his head, forcing him into the shoe is a particularly nice touch. I’m afraid I don’t have an attribution for the source.

Sniff

A post by Bacchus over at ErosBlog made me laugh: His Yum For Her Panty-Scent Yucked her.

It started with a woman dumping her boyfriend because he sniffed her panties. Gigi on TikTok responded with a video that expressed some incredulity at that reaction. Quoting a bit from the transcription Bacchus provided….

“Girl, you just lost the most loyal fucking man you could have ever found. What do you mean? He’s that obsessed with your pheromones and your scent that he’s smelling your fucking underwear and you left him over that?”

What I would fucking do to find a man who just huffs my fucking underwear. Oh, my God!

I tend to concur. Everyone has their yuks and yums, but that seems an odd one to make into a deal breaker. I’ll also be keeping my fingers crossed for Gigi and her hunt for a suitable huffer.

I’m afraid I don’t have an attribution for this image. It just seemed to fit.
