The beauty of dominant women
I’ve done suspension scenes before, but never an inverted one. I can’t image how intense it must be to be upside down, hooded, bound and whipped. Wonderfully terrible I suspect.

After the ambiguous nature of my last post, this image is a return to more straightforward femdom territory. I’ve posted before about hoods and the strong psychological effect they can have. I’m not sure if a box would be better or worse. On the plus side it’s not tightly wrapped around the face, so there wouldn’t be a feeling of constriction. But it’s still going to be claustrophobic and deliver sensory deprivation. And unlike a hood, it also anchors the head firmly in place.
This is obviously from the men in pain site.
I’m always proud of any marks I’m left with after a session. They not only act as a happy reminder for days or even weeks later, but also as a sign of a joint achievement. A collaborative effort that yielded dark rich red and purple stripes. The mistress skillfully laid out the design and I managed to take the entire thing.
Hopefully this gentleman will feel the same way about his impressive set of whip marks.

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.
Another 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.
There’s a new artist listed on the femdom artwork page – Shohei Yamashiro. I only very recently discovered his work and I’m amazed he’s not more widely know already. He has some wonderfully erotic work available at his site.
