Kami Tora Appreciation

I was left a comment by marc on this post pointing out that Kami Tora’s website had gone offline. I’ve also not seen any new content in his very distinctive style for a good while.

That’s a huge shame, as I’ve always enjoyed his blend of the playful and the erotic. Lots of tease, denial, chastity and milking, but with a healthy dose of humor. In fact on the first day of this site – back in the distant past of 2010 – I posted some of his work and added him to the artwork section.

Whatever he’s doing and wherever he is now, I hope he’s doing well. I’ve taken great pleasure in his work over the years and offer my thanks for all the wonderful art he has shared. Here’s a couple of them that caught my eye for this post.

While his primary site may be gone, you can still find his artwork in other spots. For example here.

Medication

I was amused to spot this vintage ad targeting doctors prescribing Valium (via reddit). Apparently relating well to women with domineering traits was a thing men needed medication for back in the 1960s. It’s a good job we live in (slightly) more enlightened times, or I’d be dosed up to my eyeballs. Although in my case, domineering traits leads to tension that’s more sexual than psychic.

I feel they missed a trick with the models used. We all know sex sells. Surely this was the perfect excuse for some more obviously domme fashion choices of the era?

A Moment

Here’s a moment captured. Something lovely to start the weekend.

I originally stumbled across it via tumblr, but a bit of reverse image searching tells me this is Madame Lule, a Paris based Dominatrix and BDSM coach. She has any number of similarly striking photographs on her site, which is well worth exploring. If you’re in the Paris area, her session information can be found here.

Sleepytime

I’m always intrigued to discover new kinks I’ve not heard of before. After 20+ years on odd corners of the kinky internet this doesn’t happen too often, but occasionally I’m still surprised.

For example, today I discovered Anesthesia is a kink. I obviously knew of medical fetishism and breathplay, but hadn’t realized that the drugs and equipment for anesthesia was also a thing for people. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. As a process, it has all the kind of elements that get fetishized. Lots of control, ritual, uniforms and special materials/equipment.

Personally, while I do enjoy medical play and breathplay, anesthesia alone doesn’t do much for me sexually. However, I could get into fetishizing a really good nights sleep.

I found this image via tumblr. I believe it’s by Leela Lapin who specializes in these kind of heavy medical fantasies. You can find more from Leela via her links page.

Down with the Lurgy

Apologies for the lack of recent posts. I came down with some stupid bug a few days ago and have been feeling pretty terrible ever since. It’s just a heavy cold, but I’m a bad patient and tend to retire to the couch and do nothing when I’m sick. Hopefully it’ll pass in the next dew days.

I think in these circumstances it’s customary to post a picture with a medical theme. Maybe a femdom inclined healing angel? This is Mistress Beate out of Studio Lux. She specializes in castration fetish, which might be a heavier treatment than my cold requires.

You can see more from Mistress Beate here. The Berlin based Studio Lux site is here.

Storage

I thought this was a pretty hot variation on a cage design. The outside is a standard cage, which is turned into a box with side panels, which in turn have slots for the shelves with limb/neck cut-outs. Combine it with the right bondage gear and it’d  be a highly objectifying set-up. Just imagine the door closing on you and the click of a padlock.

The creator is Mooser BDSM. Sadly they don’t appear to have a regular website, just an account on Twitter.

Shiny Maid

I’m continuing the maid theme from the last post with this image. As I’ve mentioned before, the French maid outfit isn’t really one of my kinks. However, if I was going to do it, this’d definitely be the way to go. I love how tight, shiny and restrictive this is. It’s both objectifying and aesthetically pleasing. And who wouldn’t want to be a pretty object?

Sadly I don’t have a source for this. I think I found it via tumblr.

Nothing Good

There’s been a lot of jokes about Kristi and Byron Noem in the last week. For anyone that missed it, Byron was outed for being into some mix of crossdressing / bimbo/ sissy fetish. Allegedly Kristi was also fucking her advisor Cory Lewandowski, so there’s also some potential for a cuckold kink in the mix as well.

People online have been having fun with it, but I just find it depressing. Liberals will say they’re not mocking the kink but the terrible hypocrisy of the pair. Conservatives will accuses liberals of hypocrisy in kink shaming. That is fucking ridiculous coming from them, but it won’t stop it happening. A good number from both sides will in fact mock the kink. Nobody wins and everyone suffers. Frankly, I couldn’t care less what happens to the Noems. They seem like terrible people. But it’s clearly not helpful to the kink community or anyone with similar fetishes.

A lot of domme’s were critical of the effort put into the crossdressing. I’m not going to do that. Who knows what the dynamics of it was. However, it does give me an excuse to publish a well executed sissy maid set-up. This is obviously from the English Mansion.

Medical Miracle

I found this Guardian article on the mapping of the clitoral nerves amazing. Unfortunately, I don’t mean that in a good way. The bits that amazed me were…

  • The clitoris did not even make it into standard anatomy textbooks until the 20th century.
  • In the 38th edition of Gray’s Anatomy in 1995 it was introduced as just “a small version of the penis”
  • The nerves of the penis were mapped 30 years ago, but it’s taken till now for the clitoris to get the same attention.

That’s an amazing lack of attention to a major organ possessed by 4+ billion people. According to this article it actual did get some minimal coverage in Gray’s early anatomy textbooks  but was removed in 1948! Then it re-appeared in the 1960’s, but incorrectly described.

Imagine if medical researchers paid a similar lack of attention to other major body parts?  “We’ve heard of these odd knee things, but we’re not sure if they’re really worth covering. Something to do with the bending of the legs? Seems a bit of a niche interest.”

Image features someone doing their own hands on anatomical research. Although maybe that should be mouth on research. Not sure of the original source. I located it via tumblr.
