Back in the Old Country

Apologies if blogging is a little erratic over the coming weeks. I’m back in the UK and operating out of a variety of locations. A couple of days in London to recover from jetlag, a couple of weeks seeing family and friends, back in London briefly and then onto NYC for a week to close out trip. Should be fun and I’m trying to sneak a bit of kink in, but all that travelling doesn’t leave me a lot of time for blogging.

One of the problems with planning a visit to the UK is the sheer number of fabulous Mistresses here. This is particularly a problem when you’ve very limited free personal time. For example, below is Lola Ruin, shooting for the English Mansion. Lola is someone I’ve always wanted to session with. Unfortunately, she’s based in Manchester and the only time I’ll be near there I’ll have a parent in tow. I doubt they’d be happy if I ditched them in the nearest pub and headed off to get my ass beat for the afternoon.

If you share my appreciation of Lola Ruin, then you can find all relevant links here.

Be Your Own Pet

Find of the week has been Nashville garage punk band Be Your Own Pet. Their new album is ‘Mommy‘ and a glance at the associated cover image (below) will make it clear why they first caught my eye. Their promo video for it is a lot of fun – full of fetish, kitsch and old school horror movie shots. Fortunately there’s some great music to go with all the cheese – their new track Worship The Whip being a particularly catchy (and kinky) example. Well worth checking out if you’re also a fan of the punk genre.

Sweaty

Fan of sticky people may appreciate this article full of sweaty facts from the Guardian. It contains interesting droplets like artificial sweat exists (for product testing) and that fear sweat is a different chemical composition to the hot variety. That last one probably isn’t too surprising to anyone who has done intense BDSM scenes. The ice cold fear sweat that seems to magically spring from your skin under stress feels very different to what happens during a workout.

I’m kind of surprised the article didn’t mention sweat fetishes. If the number of domme’s baring their armpits or selling their socks on my Twitter feed is any kind of gauge, there’s clearly a non-trivial number of people with that particular kink out there.

Milking Addendum

I thought I was done with this theme. Then Keri commented that I couldn’t really conclude it without a reference to the show Creamerie. I’d never heard of the series, but having checked it out, I can only conclude that Keri is right. It does seem highly appropriate.

It’s a black comedy from New Zealand, set in a world where (almost) all men have been wiped out and semen has become the most precious commodity. Y: The Last Man had a similar premise, told from the point of view of the eponymous last man. This series is told from the perspective of three women running a conventional dairy farm. For the handful of men leftover, things don’t go well, as the shot below indicates. You can see an animated version of this here. Somehow the milking doesn’t look a fun as in Sardax’s version.

If you’re interested in watching then, in the US at least, it’s available on Hulu. I’ve not seen it yet, but the reviews are pretty good and the premise intriguing, so it’s definitely going on my watch list.

More Milking

My previous post on the Tremblr device reminded me that I’d previously posted a link to a review of the Serious Kit milker. However, hunting through my old posts didn’t turn it up, so I’m guessing it was lost in the great crash of ’22.

For completeness let me therefore share it again. It’s a detailed video review by Audrey Fatale and can be found here on YouTube. Well worth checking out if you’re thinking of splurging (in all senses of that word) for such a device.

This is the lovely Mistress Fatale, sporting another of her fiendish medical devices. This shot – sourced from her twitter feed – seemed appropriately symmetrically with the previous one of Domina M. Two amazing dommes sporting classic medical whites and a hint of a smile.

Mistress Fatale is a Melbourne based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and twitter feed here.

Tremblr Review

If you’re interested in milking machines and forced orgasms then you might want to check out this review of F-Machine’s Tremblr by Domina M. She’s given it a pretty lengthy test over a 3 year period and seems to be generally impressed. It’s an expensive bit of kit at almost 500 Euros, but that seems comparable to competition like the Venus 2000 and cheaper than the Serious Kit Milker.

This is Domina M in vintage nurse whites, sourced from her twitter feed. Whatever type fluid she need to get out of or into you, I think you can be confident she’ll have the right tools for the job.

Pet Play

This NY Post story and this associated YouTube video introduced me to a new type of pet play – highly realistic and expensive animal suits. The one featured in the story came in at $14,000. You can see more on the owner’s twitter account. As far as I can tell it’s not a kinky thing for him, just a type of roleplay or cosplay. Although where this cosplayer leads, I’m sure inspired kinksters will be sure to follow.

In the meantime, if you’re into the not realistic pups, but do prefer the kinky alternatives, then you might want to check out Mockingbird Leather. They produce some lovely looking pet crawler sets like the one below.

This is from their twitter feed and available to purchase at what seems a very reasonable price.

The Smothering Dream

This image might not be quite what you’d expect for that title on this blog. It’s by Chinese photographer Yushi Li and is from a series she’s entitled “Paintings, Dreams and Love”. It was created in reference to a Dutch painting from 1888 entitled The Roses of Heliogabalus.

While the smothering might not be the type normally featured here, I do love the image. It has a particularly dream like quality to it. Yushi Li created the series in response to the eroticism of classical paintings, typically created by men and objectifying women. She places herself in the image for a good reason…

After some mistook her work as being shot by a male photographer, she began inserting herself into the photos — fully clothed alongside naked counterparts, and often the only person looking directly at the camera.

“Instead of being a passive, ‘looked-at’ thing, I want to be the one who is in control, who is creating the story, who is expressing my fantasy,” said Li.

You can see more images from the artist at her main site.

Artificial Leather

I continue to be intrigued by the progress of AI image creation. My anecdotal observation is that erotic image creation is lagging behind the best general examples right now, probably because the main tool creators are keen to avoid the legal/PR controversies that explicit imagery is likely to lead to.

That said, there are some good kinky examples around. For example, I like the shot below, published here on the Strict Dresscode Enforced account. You still might guess it was AI – the background is kind of wonky and the leather a bit too shiny – but despite that it’s a really well done example. There’s enough detail and nice touches that my brain doesn’t instantly reject it as unreal.

As I wrote before, I think kinky creators have a natural advantage here over regular porn. While straight porn is hard to mistake for anything else, kinky porn can sometimes look like something from a mainstream movie. This shot could be femdom or it could be a scene from the latest Netflix thriller. That ambiguity should allow kinky content creators access to the latest and greatest tools without running into censorship issues.
