Spanking smiles

This is a little less explicit than yesterdays image, but broad smiles are a continuing theme. Personally I always find spanking a very playful activity, so smiles are definitely a part of my spanking scenes. I’m not really sure why that is. After all, it is an activity that has a close cultural association with punishment and childhood misbehavior. Those aren’t typical things that suggests lighthearted giggles. Perhaps it’s that contrast between a childhood activity being done by full grown adults that makes me smile.

Stuffing

It is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. As an Englishman I didn’t grow up with it, so I don’t have the emotional connection with it that a lot of my American friends do. However, I’m always happy to adopt a holiday that involves time off work, hanging out with friends and eating lots of food. You can keep any traditions that involve penance, sacrifice or fasting, but consider me an honorary whatever if you’ve got something to celebrate that involves silverware and decanters.

As far as Thanksgiving goes, stuffing seems to be a big component. First the turkey gets stuffed. Then everyone stuffs themselves with turkey. There’s lots of things being shoved into other things. So with that in mind, here’s my thanksgiving image. It’s not exactly what the pilgrims got up to (although they possibly had a kinky side), but it definitely captures the spirit of stuffing things. The two expressions on display are great. His is pretty much what I’d expect for someone in that position, but hers does not look like that of someone wrist deep in a rectum. Possibly she lost a ring last time she tried this, and has just located it again?

Asymmetry

Is it just me, or are other people’s nipples asymmetric? I’m not talking about appearance or location, but sensitivity. I did a scene with Lydia tonight and it was very clear that my right side was way more sensitive than the left. She had various needles and clips in place and was whacking them with a short leather strap. One at a time, back and forth, alternating left and right. I didn’t actually tell her that one hurt more than the other, but she could easily tell from the volume of my groans. It began to feel a bit like a scientific experiment, and I could almost see her thinking – “Hmmm. Interesting. Left nipple. Not to loud. Now right nipple. Wow. Big response. I better just test that again to be sure…”

I don’t know if the gentleman below is particular sensitive on his left side, but the need for the gag would indicate she’s getting a pretty good response from that nipple.

Nipple Torture

I found the image on The Velvet Underground (aka bound by a butterfly) tumblr. I’m afraid I can’t locate an original attribution.

Claws concluded

To finish my little trio of posts on claws, here’s Goddess Kyaa having fun with them and a delicate part of the male anatomy. They certainly seem to be putting a big smile on her face.

Alternatively, if you like combining fashion and art with your kink, then these claws from Danielle Nicole Hills might be worth looking for. At $200 each ($900 for the set) they’re not exactly cheap, but they do look quite striking.

More claws

Continuing the claw theme, here’s an image from Mistress Eve. Her gloves aren’t quite as sophisticated or visually appealing as those in yesterday’s post, but I’m guessing to anyone on the receiving end, that’s a moot point. Sharp and pointy is all that matters when you’re feeling the effects. And they do have a nice vampiric look to them. The early depiction of vampires in movies tended towards animalistic talons like these. The suave Dracula with the twinkling eyes and natty line in capes came much later.

Fun toy

I discovered this amazing claw glove via a post on Selina Minx’s tumblr. While I’ve not played with this exact example (from Stronghold Leather), I have had many enjoyable experiences with similar toys. It’s a great way to blend sensuality with sadism. Apply most of the pressure with the hand, and it wakes the skin up with a caress and a light tingle. Shift the pressure to the claws, and it can raise painful red lines in its path. A flutter of the fingers is an exciting tickle. A vigorous stabbing tap dance across the body is a surefire way to generate a scream or two. The fact it feels like an extension of the dominants body makes it far more intimate and sensual than the usual spiky toys.

I sadly don’t have any images of this particular glove in use, but the second image is a nice example of some claws creating a reaction. The painful caress is something that pushes many of my buttons.

More than just a waste product.

Via the eLust bulletin that pops up on various blogs periodically, I stumbled across this article on a couple having fun with golden showers. I enjoyed the sense of playfulness and curiosity that the author brought to both the scene and the article.

As far as activities go, I think piss play is a great illustration of just how complex kink can be. The act of urinating on someone can be sexualized in so many different ways. It can be degrading and humiliating, or it can be an act of worship. It can create great intimacy, or it can be objectifying. It can be wet messy fun, or an intensely fetishized bodily function. People attach an awful lot of meaning to what’s basically a way to eject waste water. For an edgy kinky activity it’s also surprisingly well known in the mainstream. I’d guess the percentage of people that know the term ‘golden shower’ is very high, while the percentage that have tried it is very low. That tells you something about the complexity of its appeal.

I’ll finish with a shot of a couple having fun with some pee of their own. It’s taken from a Japanese femdom series that has being floating around on the internet for years (I found this instance on the Wet Beehive tumblr). It looks like they’re in some sort of kitchen. I can only hope for their sake that a restaurant critic didn’t wander by during the shoot. I’ve got to think that you’d get at least one Michelin star knocked off for piss play in the kitchen.

Study in contrasts

I like this image, but I’m not sure why. I’m never a big fan of kinky images set in derelict urban environments. It seems such an impractical place to play, and I’ve no fantasies around getting tetanus shots. This combination of wrist rope bondage and a potentially suspended position (if he slips) also doesn’t look too clever. Even if this is really safer than it looks, I’d hate to think of anyone with limited BDSM experience trying to emulate it.

All that said, I think it does work well as an image. I’d guess it’s the contrast between Domina Liza’s very tailored and smart appearance, the obvious decay of the space and his naked, stretched and vulnerable pose.

Domina Liza

Domina Liza is a UK based pro-domme. You can find out more about her at her main site. I found the image via the Dominalova tumblr.

Ante up

I played poker with a few friends tonight. It’s not a particularly serious game, and the stakes are low, but we’ve occasionally joked about throwing car keys into the pot when the action gets heated. Unfortunately nobody has ever brought along a naked slave girl to wager. I wonder what the matching bet here would be? Throwing in a slave’s chastity keys perhaps? It certainly doesn’t look like there’s enough money on the table. Personally I’d be pretty nervous betting against the seated lady. She looks the type who’d take her poker game a touch more seriously than we do.

Raising The Stakes

I believe (based on the original tumblr caption) this is by the photographer Quae Vide (also here), although I can’t a copy it on that site. I originally found it via the Growl Bad Kitty tumblr. I think it’d make a great image to illustrate or inspire a kinky short story.

Spiky

I’m safely back in Seattle. A couple of games of Civ Revolution and many glasses of red wine kept me entertained while traversing the continent. Often on these kind of flights I’m nursing some bruises or tender spots from a session. Dommes seem to take an inordinate delight in making the hell of air travel even more uncomfortable for me. It’s almost as if they’re some kind of sadists. Fortunately, despite a couple of very enjoyable sessions with Miss Troy Orleans on the prior days, I didn’t have to contend with that particular issue this time.

I haven’t yet had time to track down some good post topics, so I’ll take the easy route and point at some interesting content elsewhere. D has a nice post up on using a dermaroller that caught my eye. I always enjoy discovering a new pervertible and this one looks like a lot of fun. Blending sensation play and pain is always a favorite of mine. The old school approach to this is the Wartenberg wheel, which might not be as intense or as versatile as a dermaroller, but does look beautiful. This is Mistress Varla using one in a K is for Kink shoot. I found it on Dishevelled Domina’s tumblr.
