Lydia with whip

I spent a happy but painful few hours earlier this week on the receiving end of Lady Lydia’s whips and canes. So in honor of that, here’s a nice shot of her doing what she does so brilliantly. Despite the watermark text, this is taken from a men in pain session that she filmed for them in 2007.

Reading an expression

Of all the many erotic elements found in bdsm and femdom pornography, the one I find consistently most interesting and compelling is the expression on people’s faces.  Forget fetish materials, intricate bondage, taut naked bodies and exciting instruments of torture. An interesting expression, or the lack of it, can make or break a picture.

Take for example the image below. She has nice legs, but it’s fairly standard as far as femdom foot fetish porn goes (not a phrase you find yourself writing everyday). But I do like her expression. It seems to be a blend of amusement, patience and just a touch of condescension. I picture her giving him a few minutes to enjoy the situation before she gets bored, and then sending him off to make himself useful around the house.

Foot LickingI found this on ‘The New Bootblack’s Oubliette’ tumblr site.

Chin Up

A few years ago a Japanese company was working on Internet smell-o-vision. Given the lack of scents wafting out of my new laptop, I’m guessing they never quite managed to figure it out. Which is a shame, as some images really cry out for an aromatic accompaniment. The brilliant John Waters was of course ahead of his time in this respect.

Chin UpThis image is originally from brutal-facesitting. I found it on the un-des-sens tumblr site. It’s a interesting tumblr site, as it has a lot of artist black and white photographs, rather than the usual grab bag of random reblogged tumblr porn. However, a fair number of the images seem to have started life as conventional porn, and then been manipulated to create slightly more interesting and distinctive pictures. Or manipulated to create artificially pretentious arty images, if you’re feeling cynical. Personally, I liked it a lot.

An arch of needles

I love everything about this image. The symmetry of it. The precision of the needle line. The sense of calm intensity. The shadowy figure of the domina, imposing and yet not defined. It’s probably my favorite image of all that I’ve posted to date.

Domina YukiIt’s taken from Domina Yuki’s tumblr site. She’s a professional dominant, working out of San Francisco, Her main website with details on arranging sessions can be found here.

I think my reaction to needle play was one of the biggest surprises I had (out of many) when first getting involved in BDSM. It had zero appeal at a fantasy level, and was something I’d recoil from if I came across it in femdom porn. In reality it turned out to be an amazingly intense and enjoyable activity. Although I have to admit to almost fainting on my first attempt, so minus several masochist points there. Fortunately, I have got a little better since then.

I was actually in a similar position to this gentleman a week or so ago, but instead of an arch across the chest, the mistress (Lady Lydia in my case) placed pairs of needles at the top of each arm, my hips, my shins and the edge of my hands. She then zigzagged cord back and forth between them under the table, anchoring me in place with some deliciously painful predicament bondage. That of course then left her free to start work with the needles on the nipples….

The new bed+chair combo from IKEA

Here’s an intriguing but slightly ominous piece of furniture. It becomes even more ominous when I tell you it’s taken from the same site that I based this previous post on.

As a bed it leaves something to be desired. There’s no padding and it’s not long enough to support the legs fully. But the chair part looks more comfortable. There’s a nicely padded box and a fabric back support.

Bed / Chair / ToiletSure enough, when you get to see it in action, the ladies seem quite happy about their side of the deal. Unfortunately it’s a little tricky to read his expression. The view may make up for the discomfort. But I’m guessing a hard surface to lie on is probably going to be the least of his problems by the time they’ve finished shooting the scene.

Bed / Chair / Toilet in useThis is from the Team-Rinryu site, which is associated in some way (not sure exactly how) with the yapoo market femdom series. Both these sites feature some very intense femdom content with all aspects of toilet play featured. If you’re at all squeamish about that kind of thing I’d suggest extreme caution if you follow those links. There’s some distinctly disturbing images there.

Head in the box

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.

Head in the box from Men in PainThis is obviously from the men in pain site.
