A Right Rogering

It’s that time of year again. Tax season. My friendly tax preparer (actually recommended to me by a domme!) sent me the details today. Ouch. Normally when I get screwed it’s a lot more fun. There’s something particularly annoying about it this year. It’s one thing if I can imagine it going towards healthcare or education, but sending money to scum so they can blow stuff up in the Middle East is particularly galling.

Anyway, I think it’s mandatory for this kind of post to feature someone getting screwed, so here we are. That looks a pretty stressful set-up, so that also seems appropriate.

Not sure of the original source for this, but I’d guess it’s from one of the Kink.com shoots.

Nice Units

Kicking off the weekend with a touch of humor. This is from Luck of the Draw Comics. The imperial system of measurement being designed by someone focused on satisfying their kinks would explain a lot about it. Although having said that, the meter was defined as “one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris, assuming an Earth flattening of ⁠1/334⁠”. Which seems an even stupider way of picking a standard length than basing it on your favorite sexy body part.

You can find more from Luck of the Draw on Reddit and Bluesky. They also have a book out.

It won’t hurt a bit

Continuing the theme of AI imagery and kinky niches: Another group that has benefited is kinksters into medical fetish. Photographing those kind of scenes requires pretty specialized locations and equipment. AI might produce a fair number of wonky scalpels, but it makes creating fantasy backgrounds and furniture a lot easier.

I’ve mentioned Velvet Lash before, who has a nice line in heavy bondage medical play. Another example is hello22011, who has a lot of castration themed imagery. The shot featured below is from TheWriterThatsMad. His work tends to lean into the more sadistic side of things.

Size Matters

While AI continues to spread its slop across the internet, there are a few kinky groups who seem to be benefitting. One is those is the Macrophiles. That was definitely a niche kink for content in the past. AI has made it easy to create a lot of new material. For example, the shot below was created by sarah haras (aka sarah12345fr) on deviant art using Gemini. He also has a bunch of images combining Giantess kink and the US sitcom Married with Children (for example this). That’s a niche within a niche kink.

You can find more images from AI and sarah via his Deviant Art account.

Chyrpe

Chaining yourself to railings is a time honored protest technique. Femdom dating app Chyrpe gave it a new twist this week, using it as a marketing stunt on Camden Town High Street. They had a bunch of guys wear femdom themed t-shirts chain themselves to lampposts and railings.

According to the app’s marketing officer…

“Suddenly people that did not have a space to find their partners, because it was and still is a topic that is looked at with shame and embarrassment, can now be confident to find a partner and enjoy it.

“We have a community where men enjoy it when women make decisions and take action. Kinks are always there of course but it is an option and they don’t necessarily have to act with it.”

Ana Yuri – Chyrpe Marketing Officer – Camden New Journal

I’m not sure how effective it as an advertising technique, but it got them coverage in the local press at least. And I have to salute them for using regular looking dudes. If you’re doing a marketing stunt for a femdom dating app, it must be very tempting to put a hot leather clad lady domme front and center. That would be the fastest way to get press coverage, but would also undermine their entire message.

I wonder if these are real submissives or just volunteers and interns from the office?

Home is where the Dungeon is

For anyone thinking about building their own home playspace, the NY Times has an article with some inspiration in it. It’s more of a lifestyle piece than a how to guide, but it’s always nice to see a positive mainstream BDSM article, even if it does include the obligatory 50 shades reference. For NYC based kinksters there’s also a shout out to Lucy Sweetkill and Nicholas Knight. The latter looks like an excellent option for anyone after custom built furniture on the east coast.

Shibari seems to be a common interest, almost to the point of cliche now. Personally, if I was going to build a custom space, I’d go high tech. Lots of rubber, straps, chrome and things that go slurp. Something like Mistress Miranda’s BDSM laboratory shown below. Less natural wood and meditative bondage, more rich sensation layering and mad scientists toys.

You can see more shots of Mistress Miranda’s amazing space on her site and from this post when I visited it back in 2023.

Lydia and Owk

Here’s a final (for the moment) trip back down memory lane. In this case it’s a double header.

The site in question (despite the image logo) is OWK aka The Other World Kingdom. Possibly the only Femdom site with its own Wikipedia page. They launched in the late 90’s and have published a huge amount of content over the years. I’ve featured them several times in the past, for example in 2010, in 2011, in 2013, etc. I had assumed they’d shut down but based on their site and Bluesky feed they’re still going strong. That must make them one of the longest running femdom sites out there.

The domme in question is Lady Lydia McLane. She was my first domme and highly formative in my kinky journey. I’ve played with a lot of dommes over the years since then and she remains among the most talented and creative that I’ve encountered. Sadly, unlike the site, she has long been retired from professional play. I hope she’s doing well, wherever life has taken her since.

I’d guess this was shot in the early 2000’s. I believe she recorded a few different scenes at OWK then.

Julia Jameson and Leda

I couldn’t do a series of posts from femdom in the 90’s and not feature anything from Leda. This catalogue cover page feature Julia Jameson, one of their most featured dommes and a notoriously hard spanker!

Funny to think that this dates to before the first widely used internet browsers (Mosaic in ’93). Publishing a catalogue for your VHS spanking tapes was an essential part of business back then. The world was just about to change.

I’ve posted about Leda/Nu-West before. Sadly the links in that post all seem to be dead. It’s frustrating how much information and history about kink is being lost as sites die off. I’m also annoyed at myself for not archiving interesting articles as I linked to them.
