Ladykiller in a bind

Fans of dating sims, visual novels and kinky consensual lesbian sex might want to check out a new game called Ladykiller in a bind. Or, to use it’s full and very descriptive title – My Twin Brother Made Me Crossdress As Him And Now I Have To Deal With A Geeky Stalker And A Domme Beauty Who Want Me In A Bind!

I’ve not played it, so can’t personally comment on the content, but based on this article, it seems like an interesting concept. If it seems like something you’d be in to, then look for it on September 23rd.

Cucks

One of the weirder elements – of what has been a seriously weird year of politics – has been the rise of the term ‘cuck’ or ‘cuckservative‘. As this GQ article explains, it’s an insult used within the right to suggest someone is weak and reluctant to take a firm conservative stance. The derivation is obviously from the sexual kink of cuckolding.

Personally I don’t really care if the American right wing beats itself up, but I do find the term puzzling. The key element of cuckolding is surely the ‘cheating’ aspect and the feelings that provokes. By definition it needs at least three people, with one of them getting off on being spurned and denied. Maybe the cuckold gets off on the woman’s pleasure, or masochistically on the humiliation and rejection, but either way it’s a secret source of enjoyment. Do how does this dynamic map to the insult? If Donald Trump is the bull and Jeb Bush the cuck, who or what is the woman? How is the cheating happening? And is Jeb supposed to be getting a thrill out of it? It doesn’t really make much sense to me.

If nuts on the right want to raid the BDSM lexicon for insults, then surely ‘sissy’ would be a much better word to steal. That has no trio dynamics, and aligns more closely to the intended meaning of weak, effeminate and insufficiently red blooded. It even works in the longer form of ‘sissyservative’. That’s not to say I’d personally use or support such a term, but at least it’d make a bit much logical sense. Although in the current climate, logical sense is perhaps expecting too much.

Fire and water

I’ve been avoiding watching the Olympics. Partly because most of the sports aren’t interesting to me, partly because the IOC is the only organization that can give FIFA a run for its money in terms of sleaze and mismanagement. From drug testing, through the choice of host venue, to the ridiculous lengths they go to in order to protect their trademark and sponsors, they pretty much manage to suck all the joy out of the competition for me. The only thing that can draw my attention back is the occasional athlete who clearly stands head and shoulders above the competition. These are the rare and freakishly talented individuals who inspire awe. I’m thinking about people like Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Emil Zatopek, Steve Redgrave and Nadia Comaneci. There’s something very satisfying and life affirming about seeing someone perform brilliantly.

Another name that could be added to that list is Michael Phelps, who recently clocked up a record 19th gold medal. He’s particularly relevant to this blog, because he’s been featured here in the past. Allegedly his interest in watersports extends beyond the confines of the swimming pool. In the last day or so he made headlines for cupping marks on his body. While it’s a old Chinese medical technique to promote healing, it’s also a BDSM technique. I’ve enjoyed it a couple of times in the past. It’s not particularly painful, but it does have a nice ritualistic feel that can create a great head space. If Michael has managed to combine kinky interests (alleged) with great sporting performance, then I can only salute his mental as well as physical genius.

Women’s Moto Exhibit

Anyone who enjoyed the story and imagery from the last post on Beryl Swain may want to check out The Women’s Moto Exhibit site. It’s a collection of photographs and a traveling show that aims to:

…document the new wave of modern female motorcyclists. The goal is to reveal the brave, courageous and beautiful women that live to ride.

The creator is Portland based Lanakila MacNaughton. It seems like a fine project with some great images.

A fast lady

This blog has been known to stretch the definition of ‘dominant’. Originally it was meant to be all about sexual domination, but I occasionally like to highlight examples of amazing and forceful women, regardless of sexuality or kink. Today’s post features one such woman – Beryl Swain.

You’ve probably never heard of her, but as the article explains, she was the first female entrant in the worlds most dangerous motorcycle race – the Isle of Man TT. In today’s world, where safety is always paramount and race tracks have become ever more sanitized, the Isle of Man race remains an anachronism. An insane, dangerous, stupidly exciting anachronism. The kind of race where safety precautions involve wrapping mattresses around telephone boxes. You can watch POV footage of it here, and even for someone who doesn’t ride it’s a thrilling video.

Beryl raced the TT just once, in 1962, placing 22 out of 25. After that, scared of the bad publicity if a woman was killed in the race, the racing authority imposed a minimum weight requirement to effectively ban her. I’ve no idea about her view of kink, but I do admire her courage and skill. Plus, she does look fabulous in leather on a racing bike.

Running for president

America has finally chosen a woman to represent a major political party as their presidential nominee. Whatever you think of Hilary and her politics, it’s a significant and historical moment. Of course it happens long after other major countries have already had female leaders, but hey, late is better than never. The next few months of campaigning are doubtless going to be painful to watch (although it does bring out the best in political comedy), but it’s nice to pause and just enjoy this long overdue event.

Hillary Clinton’s nomination may be historical, but she’s not exactly the most loved or unifying political figure. If you’re looking for a powerful woman president, but don’t want to vote for Hillary, then maybe you could consider Mistress Tara Indiana? She’s not the best funded candidate, or the one with the biggest organization, but if you want an authoritarian in the White House, you could certainly do worse. Anyone in LA on the 27th of August, and wanting to help her run, can show their support at her birthday bash and gala.

Pulling hair with Kate McKinnon

Continuing the movie theme from the previous post, this video features porn legend Nina Hartley and star of the new Ghostbusters film, Kate McKinnon. It’s a very sexy and fun clip, with Nina using Kate to demonstrate the right way to pull hair. I think it’d be safe to say that Kate enjoyed being the demo bottom. But then with Nina in charge of the pulling, who wouldn’t?

Thanks to this post at ErosBlog for the pointer. I’ll leave you with another shot of Nina, this time enjoying some anal action with the Femdom Empire site.

Super and Wonder

I watched ‘Batman V’s Superman: Dawn of Justice’ recently. Quite frankly, it sucked. It seemed to have been written by someone with no feel for the history of the characters or understanding of their backstory. It’s depressing because superhero movies are storytelling at its most basic. They’re all about Gods and monsters. Basic battles between good and evil in their most simplistic humanized form.You’d think that an industry dedicated to telling stories, and spending millions of dollars to hire the best in the world to do that, would be able to deliver on those fundamentals. Apparently that’s too much to ask.

The one good thing in the movie was Wonder Woman. She only shows up in a cameo role, but still manages steals the show. Despite countless past disappointments, I’m still looking forward to her new movie, due out next year. They’ve just released a trailer for it and, amazingly, it actually looks pretty good. Gal Gadot seems like a great fit for the role. I don’t think we’ll get to see her beating up Batman, but I’ll happily buy a ticket to watch her pummel men of any variety.

Zen and the art of bondage

A few posts ago I linked to an article on BDSM and meditation. On a similar theme I stumbled onto this short video from the New York Post on the idea of meditative bondage. It features classes from Erin Houdini.

The idea itself is interesting, but sadly the presenter of the video is fairly annoying. She takes great pleasure in announcing at the end that she didn’t find it sexually charging and didn’t ‘get into it.’ I’ll never understand people like that. Not liking something is fine, we all have different interests, but why would anyone be happy about it? I love discovering new things I like, whether it’s food, drink, people, art or sexual activities. Conversely, I’m always disappointed when something doesn’t push my buttons. That means a potentially interesting and new avenue of exploration is closed off to me. Why would you be happy about having less options in life?

BoundAndFuckedThis gentleman appears to be enjoying some stringent rope bondage. I wonder how Zen he’s feeling? The watermark has been annoyingly cut off, but I’d guess this is from the kink.com studios.

Cleaning up in DC

I thought I’d finish this trilogy of posts on forceful female characters from mainstream media with a slightly offbeat choice – Kate Kaplan from the Blacklist. She plays a cleaner and problem solver. Someone who can dispose of dead bodies for you or, when necessary, find the dead body that you’ve carelessly misplaced. She’s terse, low key, awesomely efficient and strangely hot (to me at least). You can see a montage of her in action here.

I have to admit it’s weird that, in a show featuring a hot FBI agent and a hot Israel agent, I go for the spinster in tweed and horn rimmed glasses. I guess there’s just something about a forceful, no nonsense, understated attitude that does it for me.
