Getting Picked, a How To Guide

Miss Pearl (via Bluesky) pointed me towards this excellent Reddit  post. It’s a guide for what a submissive needs to do in order to get picked by a domme for kinky shenanigans. The advice is practical and to the point. I particularly like this bit…

A long lasting relationship is built on two people knowing the flaws, weaknesses, needs, wants, prejudices and shames of one another and loving each other anyway, in spite of and perhaps because of them. But you’re not looking to build a long lasting relationship, you’re looking to get picked, and that means you need to look at yourself critically, identify any undesirable quirks, needs or idiosyncrasies and remove them: with scalpel, Brillo pad or peroxide until you’re a perfect, digestible sphere.

Let’s be honest. Who hasn’t always wanted to hone themselves into a perfect, digestible sphere? Mmm … Spheres.

I’m sure if you carefully follow the posts advice you’ll soon be under your very own leather clad kinky Goddess. Probably. Possibly.

Long in the tooth kinksters such as myself may recognize this as an image from the 90’s and Cruella magazine.

Hopscotch

This drawing reminded me of carpet guy – an infamous NYC submissive who used to like being trampled while wrapped in a carpet. I featured a post on him back in 2013. He was well known among the NYC dommes for many years even before that. I hope he’s still around and turning up at play parties with his carpet in tow.

Oddly, this is a modified version of the original. The artist is Virginia Mori and you can see the original – along with a lot of her other weird but wonderful art – here. The original artwork doesn’t have the colored square and it’s clear that it’s a a girl under the rug. This has been altered to suggest a boy and a target square to be landed on. Perverts up to no good again.

If you want to support the original artist you can buy her work here.

Accessorizing

What caught my eye in this image wasn’t the latex, bondage and milking device, yummy though all those things are. It wasn’t even Lady Delphine’s shiny and beautiful bottom or cascading red hair. What caught me eye was the crutches and eye chart on the wall. I can’t imagine they’d ever be useful for a scene, but they do add the appropriate ambience. It’s always nice to see the extra little touches that people bring to a playspace.

This was sourced via Lady Delphine’s Bluesky feed. She’s a Toronto based pro-domme. If you’re interested in experiencing her healing hands yourself, then her professional site is here.

I Want Your Sex

A film featuring Olivia Wilde as a domme who pegs, spanks and bullies her junior assistant sounds like a winner. That’s the premise of the erotic comedy ‘I Want Your Sex’ which recently premiered at the Sundance festival. Unfortunately, the reviews so far (Daily Beast here and Guardian here) are mid to poor, which is a shame. Still, any movie that features Wilde as a sociopath in revealing outfits of leather, latex, high heels and chainmail (as the Daily Beast puts it) can’t be all bad. Maybe worth a stream once it makes it to a wider distribution.

This is Olivia Wilde attending the Sundance Premier.

Fido

My last post was all about the cute, frilly and fun. This one is – less so. The two images make a good example of the breadth of femdom fun. Both in respect to kinks and artistic approach.

The artist is Coomer Comics. They have a Patreon but it doesn’t seem to have been updated in the last year or so.

Pillar Bondage

This beautifully composed image comes courtesy of Contessa Klaudia Keys. It’s not the most complicated bondage, but it’s visually very satisfying. There’s something quite objectifying about being bound to a building pillar like this. iIt makes him part of the room.

Contessa Klaudia Keys is a Montreal based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her Bluesky feed here.

Hostage Situation

In theory this might make a good candidate for my occasional ‘Fetish or Fashion?‘ series. Unfortunately, I’ve no idea which of those it is. I found it on tumblr and reverse image search has (as usual these days) failed me. Google’s stupid AI system claimed the man was Kevin Costner at the Golden Globes, so that’s clearly a few billion dollars well spent there.

Personally, I’d guess fashion. It strikes me as the kind of thing someone like Helmut Newton might shoot for a fashion magazine, but I’ve no way of telling for sure. He’s wearing a tuxedo but with a black tie rather than a bow tie, so that seems like a bit of a fashion faux pas. Perhaps that’s why she has tied him down. Is she explaining how to dress properly for a formal event?

AI Videos

The proliferation of AI content continues to drive me mad. It makes it a lot harder to find good images to share. There’s just so much junk out there. However, there is the odd gem lurking around. For example, Servitor (via this post) turned me onto a series of funny femdom videos that fem-suprem-the-mouse has put together here.

I think they’re really well done. There’s a lot of fake advertisements for things like electronic summoning devices (see here, here or here) and Lickety Split Shoe Cleaning services (see here, here and here). While there’s still bits of AI weirdness, it’s not as jarring as I’ve seen in other videos. Impressive and/or scary, depending on your point of view.

Taint Zapper

A device for administering electrical shocks to a man’s taint is par for the course on this site. Just another Tuesday.

However, the one featured in this Verge article is a little different. Allegedly it’s not designed as a BDSM toy at all. Instead it’s intended to help men avoid premature ejaculation. I guess it’s the high tech equivalent of thinking of cricket/baseball scores. A distracting zap at the right moment to take your mind off other more pleasant things. Apparently it can also enhance orgasms. As a fan of electrical play and getting zapped in delicate spots, I’m not at all surprised by that.

Mistress Matisse had a bit of fun with it in a post to Bluesky. She thinks they could have saved years of research and millions of dollars by just asking a domme about Tens units. However, to be fair, it seems a lot of the time and cost was down to the FDA demanding it pass their complicated tests for clearance. That’s something BSDM toys don’t have to worry about (yet).

This is a shot of Princess Donna using a slightly less sophisticated electrical device. While I’m sure it’ll be distracting and definitely prevent premature ejaculation, I doubt the FDA would approve. It’s obviously from the Men In Pain site.

If you’re interested in the device featured in the Verge article then I believe this is their website.
