Grief Encounter

This site gave me  bit of a scare this week. First I couldn’t update or create new posts. Then I couldn’t log in at all. Fortunately, the hosting company has efficient technical support and got it all sorted out. Normal service has been resumed.

I was actually a little surprised at how concerned I was. I’ve been blogging for a longtime now. When I started I had daily posts. Now it’s more like 3 or so a week. I occasionally wonder if/when I’ll stop. Based on my reaction to the technical gremlins, it probably will not be soon. Felt very weird not being able to log in and post.

Anyway, back to the Femdom salt mines, digging up imagery and links of interest. Here’s a nice case in point. The image is from a short film caused ‘Grief Encounter’.  It features a woman picking up people at funerals to take advantage of their ‘overwhelmed’ state.

The film was directed by Ellen Pearson and produced by Erika Lust. If the actress looks familiar, that’s because it is domme Eva Oh, who I’ve featured here before.

To Nut or Not To Nut

We’re out of Loctober and into No Nut November. It’s just an endless festival of none orgasms at this time of year.

I tend to subscribe to the views expressed in this Stockroom article about No Nut November. Loctober puts the focus on kink and is therefore sex positive. Even if the end result for participants is negative sex. NNN unhealthily shifts the emphasis more to shame and suppressing desire. That’s not surprising given it’s original growth in incel culture.

That said, there are people out there trying to reclaim it and give it a happy new home in kink. For example, the most excellent Maya Midnight posted this to Bluesky.

No Nut November actually started as a lame anti-porn thing but has since become a sexy chastity thing and I just think that’s beautiful

Let’s hope it keeps trending in that direction.

Mentioning Maya does give me an excuse to share this lovely image of her. I’ve always been a big fan of grey hair. And of men in cages of course. This is from her Bluesky feed. You can find her professional site here.

Down Boy

I’m a little behind on my internet culture. When I first spotted this on a tumblr I thought it was just a cute femdom drawing. However, apparently it’s a meme format based on a purported Archie comic from 1975. Redraws of it have been showing up over the last year or so with different characters. It’s not even clear if the original ever existed, although Archie certainly has form in this respect. Whatever the origins and the recent interpretations, I’m a fan.

I’m afraid I don’t know how created this redraw. I think it might be yet another weird internet culture mash-up of these two characters.

Witch and Familiar

As we head into Halloween, here’s some seasonally suitable artwork. It’s by Sean (AKA seansketches) and described as ‘Witch Ada and her Leon familiar.’ If you enjoy this piece you’ll be happy to know it’s one of a series of three.

I feel more witches should have Himbo familiars. Terry Pratchett has of course already blazed that trail with the story of Greebo in Witches Abroad.

The Chancellor

Here’s some cute artwork to head into the weekend with. It’s from a series of four drawings by Yumine Guo, based on a story by Lutarrel.

The Chancellor took the studious third-born, training him to be useful to her in many ways – in public he was her focused administrative secretary; in private he was her footstool when work was long, her punching bag when work was hard, and her personal whore when work was over.

That’s the kind of administration I could really get behind.

You can find more from Yumine on Subscribe Star and more from Lutarrel on AO3.

Mad Science

Here’s another image to continue the theme of intense, equipment heavy sessions. This time it’s one that popped up on my Bluesky feed from Odette Engle. I’ve seen and enjoyed vacuum powered penis milking devices like that before, but the vacuum bra set-up is unusual and new to me. The boots with individual toes and the finger bondage set-up is also very cool. Looks like a great set-up to be the center of.

This was sourced from Odette Engle’s Bluesky feed. She’s an SF based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her Clips Store here.

Annual Tradition

It’s the tenth month of the year, which can mean only one thing in Femdom social media. Lots of posts about Loctober.

I’d be fascinated to know how many submissives actually participate in it versus how many dommes advertise it. My instinct is that there’s a lot more of the latter than the former. However, regardless of the actual numbers, if you are participating then the very best of luck. May your October be full of frustration, denial and unmet urges.

This image is from Adreena Winters back in 2023. She’s clearly a fan of the tradition, recently publishing a video on it and a blogpost.

Heavy Bondage with Mistress Tess (Part 1)

I’ve finally had time to sit down and write up a few details from my amazing session time with Mistress Tess. As the post title suggests we did a lot of heavy bondage, with nipple torture, CBT and tease+denial added for extra piquancy. There were a lot of different set-ups involved, so I can only capture a few highlights here.

We started in a heavy metal bondage chair (pic 1). This was perhaps one of the lighter bondage set-ups, but there was still lots of heavy straps, plastic wrap and bondage shoes with high heels. Moving wasn’t an option (pic 2). With immobility assured, Mistress Tess added some pain, with a line of clips across the chest (pic 3) and a prickly Scott Paul pin wheel (see pic 4).  The bruising from the clips stayed for some days afterwards. What I love about this chair is it makes you both comfortable and vulnerable. I could relax back into the bondage while the spread leg design allowed Mistress Tess to lean in and get really into my face (pic 5). It’s objectifying and intimate all at the same time.

From there we moved to a bench set-up with a lot of straps and padlocks involved (pic 6). My arms here are in leather sleeves and the feet held with an interesting en-pointe bondage strap ‘shoe’. I love all the little locks here (pic 7). Not strictly necessary to hold me in place, but very sexy.  The clip marks on my chest from the chair setup are still visible (pic 8). To add an extra frisson to the proceedings Mistress Tess then pulled out some electrical toys and a locking Kali’s teeth (pic 9). This was probably the most painful thing we did, with the marks from the crocodile clips still visible a week or so later (pic 10). The Kali teeth device is particularly problematic one for a masochist as I’ve written before. I was deep into subspace at this point, with adrenaline just washing through me (pic 11). I think I was shaking like a leaf when everything was finally removed.

I’ll save the remain shots for a follow-up post tomorrow. To finish this one, I’ll feature a great artist as portrayed by another great artist.

This is of course Mistress Tess as drawn by the inimitable Sardax.
