Growth industry

While I’m talking about cuckolding (as I was), I’ll make an entirely anecdotal observations: It’s a rapidly growing area of porn. Based purely on my random browsing, I seem to be seeing a lot more of it. A decade ago it was rare, but now it pops up all over the place. At least all over the places I frequent, which are, admittedly, not your usual kind of places.

In many ways it seems the easiest kind of kinky porn to shoot. You don’t expensive outfits, specialist riggers, a dungeon full of toys or a submissive who can take a beating. It’s just a regular porn threesome, except with one of the participants pulling a funny expression and looking aghast at what’s going on. At the same time, it’s also one of the hardest types of scenes to pull off in real life. Persuading a life partner to indulge in a little bondage or spanking is one thing, but it’s quite something to bring a third into a relationship. Similarly, it’s easy to set-up a regular BDSM session with a pro-domme, but very few of them offer a genuine cuckold type experience.

Of course, when it comes to a genuine cuckold experience, the porn productions aren’t much better. They do however have some of the most amusing porn images. This image is a classic of the type. The cuckold is doing something completely ridiculous, the hot blonde is wearing heels and staring at the camera and the black bull is reduced to a disembodied big penis. That’s most cuckolding porn in a nutshell.

Cucks

One of the weirder elements – of what has been a seriously weird year of politics – has been the rise of the term ‘cuck’ or ‘cuckservative‘. As this GQ article explains, it’s an insult used within the right to suggest someone is weak and reluctant to take a firm conservative stance. The derivation is obviously from the sexual kink of cuckolding.

Personally I don’t really care if the American right wing beats itself up, but I do find the term puzzling. The key element of cuckolding is surely the ‘cheating’ aspect and the feelings that provokes. By definition it needs at least three people, with one of them getting off on being spurned and denied. Maybe the cuckold gets off on the woman’s pleasure, or masochistically on the humiliation and rejection, but either way it’s a secret source of enjoyment. Do how does this dynamic map to the insult? If Donald Trump is the bull and Jeb Bush the cuck, who or what is the woman? How is the cheating happening? And is Jeb supposed to be getting a thrill out of it? It doesn’t really make much sense to me.

If nuts on the right want to raid the BDSM lexicon for insults, then surely ‘sissy’ would be a much better word to steal. That has no trio dynamics, and aligns more closely to the intended meaning of weak, effeminate and insufficiently red blooded. It even works in the longer form of ‘sissyservative’. That’s not to say I’d personally use or support such a term, but at least it’d make a bit much logical sense. Although in the current climate, logical sense is perhaps expecting too much.

Feel the burn

I noticed that I’d inadvertently published two consecutive posts featuring fire. That wasn’t intended, but given that I have a strange compulsion to post in trios, here’s a third on the subject on flames and heat. This image caught my eye purely for the look on his face. It makes me yearn to feel like that. He looks lost in the moment. You can see another shot from the same scene here.

Fire and water

I’ve been avoiding watching the Olympics. Partly because most of the sports aren’t interesting to me, partly because the IOC is the only organization that can give FIFA a run for its money in terms of sleaze and mismanagement. From drug testing, through the choice of host venue, to the ridiculous lengths they go to in order to protect their trademark and sponsors, they pretty much manage to suck all the joy out of the competition for me. The only thing that can draw my attention back is the occasional athlete who clearly stands head and shoulders above the competition. These are the rare and freakishly talented individuals who inspire awe. I’m thinking about people like Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Emil Zatopek, Steve Redgrave and Nadia Comaneci. There’s something very satisfying and life affirming about seeing someone perform brilliantly.

Another name that could be added to that list is Michael Phelps, who recently clocked up a record 19th gold medal. He’s particularly relevant to this blog, because he’s been featured here in the past. Allegedly his interest in watersports extends beyond the confines of the swimming pool. In the last day or so he made headlines for cupping marks on his body. While it’s a old Chinese medical technique to promote healing, it’s also a BDSM technique. I’ve enjoyed it a couple of times in the past. It’s not particularly painful, but it does have a nice ritualistic feel that can create a great head space. If Michael has managed to combine kinky interests (alleged) with great sporting performance, then I can only salute his mental as well as physical genius.

Burning Passion

This is simple but very cleverly done. It’s obvious at a glance what the scene and symbolism is, but the simplicity also allows the viewer to use their own imagination on it. Of course it’s also a fleeting moment, as all flames eventually burn out…

BurningPassionI’m afraid I don’t know who created this. It was kindly sent to me by one of my readers Marga.

Women’s Moto Exhibit

Anyone who enjoyed the story and imagery from the last post on Beryl Swain may want to check out The Women’s Moto Exhibit site. It’s a collection of photographs and a traveling show that aims to:

…document the new wave of modern female motorcyclists. The goal is to reveal the brave, courageous and beautiful women that live to ride.

The creator is Portland based Lanakila MacNaughton. It seems like a fine project with some great images.

A fast lady

This blog has been known to stretch the definition of ‘dominant’. Originally it was meant to be all about sexual domination, but I occasionally like to highlight examples of amazing and forceful women, regardless of sexuality or kink. Today’s post features one such woman – Beryl Swain.

You’ve probably never heard of her, but as the article explains, she was the first female entrant in the worlds most dangerous motorcycle race – the Isle of Man TT. In today’s world, where safety is always paramount and race tracks have become ever more sanitized, the Isle of Man race remains an anachronism. An insane, dangerous, stupidly exciting anachronism. The kind of race where safety precautions involve wrapping mattresses around telephone boxes. You can watch POV footage of it here, and even for someone who doesn’t ride it’s a thrilling video.

Beryl raced the TT just once, in 1962, placing 22 out of 25. After that, scared of the bad publicity if a woman was killed in the race, the racing authority imposed a minimum weight requirement to effectively ban her. I’ve no idea about her view of kink, but I do admire her courage and skill. Plus, she does look fabulous in leather on a racing bike.

Running for president

America has finally chosen a woman to represent a major political party as their presidential nominee. Whatever you think of Hilary and her politics, it’s a significant and historical moment. Of course it happens long after other major countries have already had female leaders, but hey, late is better than never. The next few months of campaigning are doubtless going to be painful to watch (although it does bring out the best in political comedy), but it’s nice to pause and just enjoy this long overdue event.

Hillary Clinton’s nomination may be historical, but she’s not exactly the most loved or unifying political figure. If you’re looking for a powerful woman president, but don’t want to vote for Hillary, then maybe you could consider Mistress Tara Indiana? She’s not the best funded candidate, or the one with the biggest organization, but if you want an authoritarian in the White House, you could certainly do worse. Anyone in LA on the 27th of August, and wanting to help her run, can show their support at her birthday bash and gala.

Coffee and Kink

My fellow Pacific Northwest dwellers may be interested to learn that Portland is gaining a kinky coffee shop. It’ll be called the MoonFyre Cafe and is being organized by Mistress Pixie Fyre. As well as the cafe part, it’ll also boast a space for classes, a play space and an aftercare space.

While combining sex, kink and coffee seems very quintessentially Portland, it’s not the first on the West Coast. Wicked Grounds in San Francisco has been around for many years now. The shot below shows Mistress Alice and Mistress Leila enjoying a coffee in that space. Apparently the gentleman they’re with is drinking his coffee via a straw while having his balls electrically zapped.  Perhaps he just wasn’t getting the kind of caffeine high he wanted, and felt he needed to step it up a notch or two? It’s probably still more pleasant than drinking at Starbucks.
