Ropework

Some nice intricate rope cock bondage in this shot. Unusually it looks like he’s being forced to ride some sort of wooden horse. I tend to see that used a lot with female submissives, but it’s rarer with males.

Normally the dominatrix sneer is a terrible cliche, but with her clawed hand this one looks more of a snarl.

From flesh to plastic

This image caught my eye earlier this week. Not for the strap-on play, which is fairly pedestrian, but for the woman wearing it. Unless I’m mistaken that’s Danielle Foxxx. I recognized her from a series of movies and photoshoots she did several years back as pre-op transsexual. I always thought she was one of the sexiest girls in that particular genre. As support of this bold claim I advance into evidence –  image 1 and image 2.  I’d assumed she’d retired after doing the complete male to female transition a couple of years back. However, a little bit of searching shows she has actually has two sites now, a pre-op one and a post-op one, along with a few words about the transition.

I’m happy that she now has the body she’s obviously always wanted. But I do wonder if the guy in the photograph below doesn’t wish they were shooting the scene a few years earlier and he had something a little warmer in his mouth.

Strap-on

You’re doing it wrong…

I always enjoy needle and piercing play. There’s a beautiful sense of rhythm to it. The pressure as the point slowly presses into the skin. The sharp stab of pain as it breaks the surface. And then the slow sliding sensation as it penetrates. Repeated needle after needle after needle.

There are a lot of places that are fun to pierce. But I’m pretty certain the eye isn’t one of them. I dont’ know where she was taught to do piercing, but she might want to go back and check her notes. And what’s with the smile on his face?

New Augustine Drawings

The imaginative and creatively masochistic Augustine has some new drawings in his latest gallery on imagefap. I particularly enjoyed the one below for the sheer number of exciting torments that he’s managed to cram into a single illustration. How many can you spot in 30 seconds or less?

Obviously there’s the painful predicament bondage. The birch rod. The feet tied down for bastinado. The stretched balls. What look like some sort of metal coil around the penis. A tube or speculum like device in the ass. A catheter. Enforced piss drinking from said catheter. A glowing brazier, which threatens some sort of branding or heat punishment. And finally the collection of jars and pots on the table at the back. Knowing Augustine’s usual modus operandi I’m predicting they contain some highly uncomfortable fluids that will be forced into the unfortunate whipping boy. I make that a total of 10 separate tortures all cleverly illustrated together!

Smoke Break

When I was putting together Shohei Yamashiro’s section in the femdom artwork page, I had an enjoyable hour or so looking through his images and picking a few of my favorites to highlight. At that time the image below didn’t stand out for me at all. It just looked like a dominatrix smoking outside. Where’s the fun in that?

When I went to look at the site again a few days ago, I realized what an idiot I was. Through the window behind her it’s clear that some horrible torments are being inflicted on a helpless slave. This has been going on for so long she’s decided to take a smoke break, and no doubt she’ll be heading back in soon to inflict more pain.

Now I’ve finally figured out what’s actually going on, the image strikes me as a very exciting one. It implies a long and extended torture session. It also implies a workmanlike approach. There’s a dehumanizing aspect to it. This isn’t a personal connection between dominant and submissive. It’s a team of dominants working together to get the job done.

Oh, and the graffiti is great as well. Not sure if it’s a reference to women, men or a fantastic song (see lyrics here)

Hooded

I have erosblog to thank for pointing me towards this photograph of this beautiful leather hood. It’s taken from this gallery on the topgrl site.

If you’ve never played with hoods you might be tempted to dismiss them as simply a nice way to depersonalize someone. That was certainly my original naive take on them. They looked fun as way to experiment with objectification, but didn’t seem to offer much as a device of torment or punishment. After all you can still hear (vaguely), talk (or mumble) and breath (just). Could wearing one really be any different to just keeping your eyes closed?

Having now played with various types of hoods (including this one minus the additional outer straps), I can honestly say that nothing raises my pulse rate and stress levels quicker than seeing a hood come out. You can electrocute me, burn me or stick needles in me and I’ll be fine. Noisy, but fine. Hoods, on the other hand, are far more problematic. The sensation of losing control of key senses, coupled with physical restraint, has a major psychological effect. The only way I can normally deal with it is to mentally picture the dominant and project onto her. I try to detach from whatever panic signals my mind and body are throwing at me and focus only on an internal and idealized view of the mistress. Which, of course, is exactly the kind of effect you’re after in D/s play.

Leather HoodAnother photograph in the series shows the mistress raising the stakes with some breath control play. This is obviously a tricky area to play in, and certainly not something to try alone. But if you can find someone experienced enough, and who you absolutely trust to do it, then I’ve found this can be an incredible experience. Nothing gets me into subspace quicker than the combination of bondage, sensory deprivation and somebody toying with my ability to breath. Giving someone else the power over something so fundamental very quickly creates a deeply submissive state.

Unhappy Slave, Happy Mistress

This photograph made me laugh out loud when I first saw it. The two different expressions are priceless. Her cheeky little smile and his….whatever that expression is. It looks like an odd mix of shock, horror, anger and denial. I’d love to know exactly what she just did or suggested. It might simply be the result of applying that hot cigarette to his nipple, but to me it doesn’t look like a pure expression of pain.

Two ExpressionsThis is another image from the team-rinryu site. And I’ll give the same warning I gave last time. There is a lot of extremely strong femdom on that site, featuring very graphic toilet play of all types. So unless you’re into that, be careful where you click.
