The beauty of dominant women
A suitable image to follow-up yesterday’s post. This is another elaborate rope suspension with a high difficulty/risk factor. It looks very cool for a photograph, but I can’t imagine it being sustainable for any kind of extended play.
I’m afraid I’ve no idea of the original source for this. Happy to credit appropriately if someone can help with an attribution.
A rope suspension alone is challenging. Adding wax play into it ups the intensity somewhat. Having the domme sit on the back of the suspended submissive? Definitely into expert territory.
The image is from this gallery.
* Of course if your home happens to contain an expert on rope suspension, along with relevant equipment and hard points, then maybe you can try this at home. Just be doubly sure all those elements are present first!
A small fraction of femdom images on tumblr are really great. Most are ‘meh’. A few are WTF! This would be one in the latter category.
Firstly, what’s with the pink theme? She has pink shoes, a pink dress and a pink whip. Even the band-aid on her knee looks pink. Color coordination is one thing, but color coordinating your medicine cabinet is a bit much. Also what’s with the weird beanbag type chair in the corner? And why is there a big pink dildo next to the television? Who thought that fireplace was a good idea? What kind of drugs was the interior designer on? And how did that money end up on the floor?
The lady in question is clearly a very attractive one. Judging by the whip marks she can also hand out a good beating. I’m just puzzled at everything else that’s going on in this Men Are Slaves shot.
A final pair of expressions to finish off this short sequence of them. Hers is somewhat quizzical. His is a little more intense. That’s probably something to do with all those weights hanging off delicate bits. Amazing what a faint touch from a finger can do when the sensorium is already loaded.
This is from Men in Pain.
In a genre dominated by sexy bodies, fetishistic outfits and kinky activities, I find myself picking up on and blogging about facial expressions more frequently than almost anything else. Yesterday’s post was one recent instance, and today’s features another. With the internet providing an endless stream of bodies in an infinite variety of sexual configurations, I find facial expressions are the most common way I can connect with a shot. Without them the imagery becomes almost abstract.
This example from Divine Bitches is a bit porn-y, but I do like to see people having fun. Or at least 75% of the people having fun.
Despite the abuse of what looks like a very nice tie, I like this image. I know it is a posed fashion shot, but his expression captures an element of what makes a great scene. It’s that sense of abandonment and giving oneself to the moment. That point where everything goes slack and you just relax into the dynamic. I don’t believe that’s what’s actually happening here, but it still makes me want to play again.
This was shot by the Polish Photographer Andrzej Tyszko.
This lovely suspension scene is from woodenpunk, rigged by EbiMcKnotty and photographed by Bendy_Dude. It’s probably an odd thing to pick up on, but I also like the color of their rope. I’ve no idea where they sourced this particular one from, but for anyone interested in well made and nicely colored rope, I suggest checking out Twisted Monk. I’m a long way from a rope expert, but I know a lot of dommes use and like his product. I’ve certainly been tied up in plenty of it over the years.
Anyone who thinks being kinky makes them special should probably think again. According to The Journal of Sex Research, interpreted via this article in Maxim magazine, almost 50% of adults have unconventional sexual desires. Which kind of raises the question: At what point does unconventional become conventional? If kinky people make it to 51% of the population do we have to start describing non-kinky people as the unconventional ones?
Of course sometimes sexual desires can be complicated to pigeonhole in a simple classification system. Is this scene exhibitionism, public humiliation, shoe fetishism or simple D/s? Whatever it is, I think it puts the pair of them into the ‘unconventional’ half of the population.
A couple of weeks ago I featured a scene with someone’s head buried into a table. This hairy gentleman is in pretty much the reverse position to that, with just the head sticking out. It looks relatively comfortable for him but less so for her, which seems like the reverse of how it should be. I can’t imagine balancing like that on a hard wooden table would be all that conducive to orgasmic bliss.
I’m afraid I have no idea who the original artist for this was. If you can help me attribute it then please leave a comment.
Researching the history of the artwork below led me on an interesting trail. It was originally from a 60’s pulp crime novel entitled ‘The Damnation of Adam Blessing‘. That was published under the name of Vin Packer, but was actually written by Marijane Meaker, who went on to write award winning adult fiction and be given the Trailblazer Award for groundbreaking work in lesbian fiction. She also at one pointed dated Patricia Highsmith. The title of the book went on to inspire the name of an acid rock band in the late 60’s.
I’m always a sucker for crime novels from this era as well as the dramatic and lurid artwork they often feature. I may have to hunt this particular one down.
Despite tracking down a lot of the background on the book, I sadly couldn’t find a name for the cover artist.
Updated: Thanks to a very helpful comment from francois I can now attribute this to Robert McGinnis. He is a prolific illustrator of book and movie covers.
