For anyone who enjoys femdom fiction, I’ve published chapter 2 and and chapter 3 of my story called ‘The Loving Wife’. The first chapter was heavy on bondage and cuckolding, the two more recent chapters shift the focus towards a little more traditional pain and discipline style of female domination.
Lydia with whip
I spent a happy but painful few hours earlier this week on the receiving end of Lady Lydia’s whips and canes. So in honor of that, here’s a nice shot of her doing what she does so brilliantly. Despite the watermark text, this is taken from a men in pain session that she filmed for them in 2007.
Lady Lydia has a session space is Seattle if you want to see her in person, or a good collection of clips if Seattle isn’t in your travel plans anytime soon.
Just another day at the office
I have endless respect for successful professional dominants. The list of skills they require is amazing. They need to be technically skilled in all the various facets of BDSM play they offer (piercing, whipping, suspension bondage, medical play, etc.). They need acting ability and imagination to deliver role play scenes. They need a good understanding of psychology to figure out the hot buttons and land mines in their submissive’s head. On a daily basis they have to be able to deal with everyone from nervous novices to experienced leather skinned masochists. Not to mention the weirdo’s and freaks they attract on-line. And on top of all this, they have to run a small company, skirt the vagaries of the law and work in a degree of secrecy. A great domme would seem to be a combination of therapist, actress, nurse, psychologist, performance artist, physical trainer and business entrepreneur.
Of course, sometimes even all this isn’t enough. Sometimes they’re called on for abilities and skills that you just never hear a career guidance counselor mention. For example, this thread on Max Fisch’s forum site gives an entertaining insight into a particular day in the life of Ms Olivia Black. Dominatrix, fetish model and gastroenterologist.
Rubex
I’m always slightly annoyed when I post a drawing and can’t credit the artist accurately. It somehow feels rude. So I was happy to stumble across this gallery at the femdom wiki site and discover the source for a previously unattributed image in one of my posts. It turns out to be (as I suspected) a British artist, going under the name of Rubex.
The image below is another one of his works. It reminded me a little of Rodzo in its composition, albeit in a different style and with a medical slant.
Reading an expression
Of all the many erotic elements found in bdsm and femdom pornography, the one I find consistently most interesting and compelling is the expression on people’s faces. Forget fetish materials, intricate bondage, taut naked bodies and exciting instruments of torture. An interesting expression, or the lack of it, can make or break a picture.
Take for example the image below. She has nice legs, but it’s fairly standard as far as femdom foot fetish porn goes (not a phrase you find yourself writing everyday). But I do like her expression. It seems to be a blend of amusement, patience and just a touch of condescension. I picture her giving him a few minutes to enjoy the situation before she gets bored, and then sending him off to make himself useful around the house.
I found this on ‘The New Bootblack’s Oubliette’ tumblr site.
Drippy
Continuing the chastity theme, here’s someone clearly excited by his predicament. I’m guessing the stockings and suspenders are probably a help with that.
This is another image from the snail meilk site.
Not just for making Bloody Marys
While I’m posting on the subject of food, how about this as an alternative use for a tasty condiment? This seems particularly nasty with the chastity cage in place to act as a helpful funnel and bowl.
I’m afraid I’ve no idea where this originally came from. I found it on the snail meilk site.
Top Chef
I recently added the ‘Sadist Next Door’ to my blog roll. It’s written by Mistress Crimson, a professional dominatrix from Chicago. She has a number of interesting posts, but one that really caught my eye was about food. She quotes Anthony Bourdain on eating as an act of submission.
It is about giving up all vestiges of control, about entrusting fate entirely to someone else. It is about turning off the mean, manipulative, calculating and shrewd person inside of you and slipping heedlessly into a new experience as if it were a warm bath. It is about shutting down the radar and letting good things happen. Let it happen to you.
Antony Bourdain, from his book ‘The Nasty Bits’
As both a huge food fan and a submissive I can completely relate to this. Some of the best meals of my life have been when I’ve simply entrusted myself to the chef and let him completely direct the flow of the meal. On the flip side, I also get very frustrated when I’m eating with people who keep trying to grab control from the chef and mess around with elements of the meal. I guess that’s the dining equivalent of topping from the bottom.
Of course as in any D/s relationship, you have to be sure the dominant knows what he or she is doing. A masochist’s delight in suffering doesn’t translate to the food domain quite as well as a submissive tendency does!
Poetry in Motion
This is Madame Sarka wielding her whip. The dress and the shoes don’t look ideally suited to the task, but she seems to be balancing it beautifully. And obviously enjoying herself.
She’s a professional dominatrix based out of Prague.
Fuchsia
I think this is a great drawing, although I’ve no real idea what the artist was originally trying to convey. The rod and apple have fairly obvious symbology, but the collared chrome pig and the initialed dog dish are a little more puzzling. At first I thought it was a fetishized femdom version of a political cartoon. It feels like there should be a caption about decadent fat bankers in thrall to cruel Mistress Capitalism. But as far as I can tell from the artist’s comments, it’s just a drawing of and for a friend, in a style inspired by the famous Hajime Sorayama.
The artist is Serge Birault. He goes under the handle PapaNinja at his deviant art site, and he has a gallery site where you can purchase his work.
