Playing with the cliche

I try and avoid posting too many stereotypical shots of dommes in fetish gear staring into the camera. It’s not that I’m not partial to the occasional one now and again. They’re popular for a reason. However, there are plenty of tumblrs featuring them already, and I like to try and keep this sites appeal as broad as possible.

Occasional one will catch me eye as being a little different, and this is such a case. All the standard elements of the cliche are there. Leather boots. Tight latex. Black gloves. But she looks so relaxed and calm. There’s no sneering or haughty posture. I get the feeling she’d be a lot of fun to play with. She manages to look great without appearing to be trying too hard.

Relaxed Domme

I found it on the my wife is in charge tumblr. I’m afraid I’ve no attribution for it. Google images can’t find a single copy of it, let alone the original site. If anyone knows who this is leave a comment and I’ll update the post.

  1. There are two aspects to the latex n’ leather thingy.

    One is that for some people, it’s just a fetish. For mysterious reasons, those substances became eroticised at some stage in the development of our sexual identiy.

    For others, it’s just a signifier. It stands for some other in the weird world of kinky possibilities.

    In my case, I started off with the fetish, and then found that it led to something much deeper, to the point that it’s not that important any more.

    1. I suspect these two things feed off each other. It’s a fetish for some, which leads people to incorporate it into their sexual play. Which in turn makes it a signifier for others. And people who experience it as a signifier may then also begin to fetishize it.

      If I had the time it’d be fascinating to research and trace the development of kinky couture over the years.
