New Blogs

I’ve added a couple of new blogs to my blogroll:

Contemplating the divine is a blog by Servitor, a self-described submissive boy, and features an entertaining blend of fiction and captioned photographs. I’ve posted on captioned images previously, where I noted that they are often clumsy and badly written. Fortunately Servitor manages to avoid this by combining a sense of humor, a good imagination and an sharp eye for suitable images.

On female dominance of the male is a blog by Saratoga, an experienced male submissive. It contains a mixture of writing, images and, unusually, some video clips. It’s quite dense in information, capturing his thoughts on everything from weird collar me postings to relationship development in a female led pairing.

90’s Flashback

I expect that anyone who hung around usenet in the 90’s looking for femdom material will instantly recognize this. It’s from leda, one of the great early producers of heavy spanking and corporal punishment films. The production quality of their work looks pretty poor by today’s hi-def standards, but the material itself still packs a real erotic charge. Any lovers of a more traditional style caning and spanking should certainly seek it out.

This image is taken from a short lived magazine they produced called Ma’am. They only had a handful of issues, but once scanned they circulated for years on the spanking newsgroups. I think this particular shot was also associated with a movie series called something like ‘That dreaded box’. I particularly like the contrast between his intense pained expression and the two women standing calmly at the back waiting for their turn with the strap,

A shiver up the spine

The tag line for this blog is ‘The beauty of dominant women.’ I like to think that I interpret the idea of this beauty in the broadest possible way. It might be an attitude, an action or an emotion that I find beautiful. And when I started this blog I deliberately set out to avoid making each post an endless succession of hot women in exciting fetish gear. However, sometimes a post of straightforward physical perfection is exactly what’s called for.

I know a lot of people will see this and be captivated by the rather tight dress and her impressive chest. Both of which are very nice. But as usual for me, it’s her face, her stare and in particular her eyes that make this image work. Even now, after having looked at it numerous times, it still gives me a frisson, a delicious shiver up my spine.

Rice Torture

Rohosub posted about an interesting form of punishment that I’ve never heard of before. I’ll let him tell it in his own words:

Here is a photo visualizing one of my wife’s favourite forms of discipline……I usually receive this form of discipline when I’ve failed to do my household chores to her satisfaction. Usually the kitchen chores and the disciplining then typically happens in the kitchen.
She just lays out a decent amount of rice on the floor, tells me to undress and sit or kneel in the rice. It’s ok for a short while but it’s pure torture after a while.

This strikes me as a particularly effective and nasty punishment, as it would seem hard to either sexualize it or get any endorphins flowing. It’d just be boring, then uncomfortable and finally painful. I often read about “punishments” that in other circumstances people pay good money to have inflicted. I can’t see anyone paying a pro-domme to spend an hour kneeling on some of her rice.

Big Bird

Ms Marie has a fascinating new post detailing how she suspended her sissy’s cage in order to keep him away from scurrying furry critters. As is so often the case with her blog, I’m impressed by both her ingenuity and the very non-nonsense natural dominance that comes through in her approach.

The hanging cage she created made me think of this image. The text is in German and says ‘The Parrot Cage’. It looks like something that would work well as a temporary display cage. Maybe to show off your pet to other bird fanciers?

The Parrot CageI’m afraid I don’t know who the artist is. It has some similarities to Steffi’s work, but I can’t see it any of his image collections, and the drawing style seems a little different.

Leashed

After the fairly explicit CBT in the last post, here’s something a little more abstract. It’s a pen and ink wash drawing, for which I sadly can’t identify the author. I love the composed tension in the drawing, the angles and balance between the two bodies, their limbs and the leash. It’s also amazing how much emotion is conveyed in the two faces with just a few expressive lines.

Humbler

Believe it or not, this post was actually inspired by my previous one on Underling’s artwork. Whilst there might not seem much of a connection between spanking art and intense CBT, his blog is called Underling’s Humblings, and that got me thinking about the other type of humbling frequently seen in a femdom context. As I haven’t posted many humbler pictures to date, this seemed like an opportune time for one.

This is a particularly nasty variation on the standard humbler, as it not only has the cross bar that pulls the testicles back, but also a vice-like component for crushing them. They’re already looking pretty red, and she hasn’t really started tightening the vice yet. Here’s a second shot from another angle that shows it in a little more detail. I’m not sure where the rope goes, but if it is attached to his hands via an overhead pulley, and she’s forcing him to slowly straighten up, then it’s an even more wonderfully sadistic set-up than it appears at first glance.

I’m afraid I don’t know the source of this image, but I recognize the domme as a Simone Kross. She’s a pro-domme working out of Nashville (having just moved from LA) and has been featured on this blog in the past. I’m not sure whether to be proud of the fact I recognized her immediately, or slightly concerned about what that implies about the amount of femdom material stuffed into my brain.

Pensive Domme

This is the kind of image that needs a caption competition. If she pondering the inherent contradiction in the idea of freely given slavery and the nondualism of pain and suffering? Or is she trying to remember if she needs to buy more milk on the way home? Whatever she’s thinking, it’s rare to see a BDSM image of someone looking thoughtful, pensive and maybe a touch sad. It makes for an interesting change.

Pensive DommeThis is from the Sub Miss fetish photography site. You can find a number of other intriguing galleries there, including a large version of this image and its sequence of asssociated images.
