More Scene Fails

While I’m on the subject of scenes gone terribly wrong – as I just was – the OnlyFans model who killed a man last year has just been sentenced. I covered the original story back in March ’25 in this post. He suffocated to death while she was filming content. The entire scene seemed like a bunch of bad decisions by everyone involved and the woman has just been sentenced to 4 years for involuntary manslaughter.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that real prison time is one of my hard limits. I’ll add it alongside hoods, scat and punishment dynamics as things to avoid in or after a session. I know the internet has lot of depictions of sexy prison wardens in tight outfits, but I can’t help feeling it might not be as fun as they make it look.

I believe this is by the artist Stig.

Don’t Do Drugs

Medical play can be a lot of fun but it’s important to never forget the ‘play’ part. Making it too realistic can have deadly consequences as this story from  Munich highlights.

Two professional dominatrices are currently facing trial at the Berlin Regional Court after a client died during a session at a BDSM studio in Charlottenburg. The incident, which occurred in April 2024, involves allegations of administering a local anesthetic that ultimately resulted in the man’s death.

The drug in question was Novocain aka Procaine. That’s typically what the dentist will give you to numb a tooth. It’s unclear from the article what exactly happened but – according to Wikipedia – an overdose can result in respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Quite the price to pay to satisfy a kink.

If you’re going to inject anything, stick to a medical saline solution.  And ideally do it with a domme who has some medical training.

Career Women

This is an old comic from a 1956 edition of Army & Navy Fun Parade. Obviously, given the patriarchal nature of America in the 50’s, this was a bit of absurd humor. A laugh at the crazy idea of a career woman with a house husband in a pinny. However, I wonder, did a few male readers see this and experience a strange frisson of excitement? Did it trigger any odd feelings of the rightness of the scene? I’m going to bet there were at least a few.

Luggage

As I’m currently traveling, this seemed an appropriate image to share. One wonders what the storage arrangement inside the train is. Getting him into an overhead luggage bin would seem tricky. I’m picturing a special luggage van with rows of lock points for the wheels and the handle. Perfect for safely transporting all the slaves for the ladies on the train.

I found this via tumblr, but I’m certain it’s the creation of Loviante. You can get more of their work via their Subscribestar.

A Stupid Step

Given I’m currently visiting the UK, it seems appropriate to rant about their increasingly stupid pornography laws. Last year they were targeting a ban on depictions of choking. Earlier this year they went after depictions of sex acts between step family members. That last one is particularly stupid because they’re banning the fictional depiction of something that’s not actually illegal in the UK. So by all means fuck your step brother/sister/mom/whatever, just don’t pretend to do so on film.

It is of course reasonable to say that you don’t care about either of these kinks. The problem with that view is that the kind of government that’ll pass these laws is unlikely to stop there. Is a politician that votes for these bills going to take a different tack on say ABDL? Or Mommy Domme scenes? Or even just any regular kind of BDSM? If you think someone watching two porn actors call each other ‘step-sister/brother’ deserves jail time, what about watching a domme beat up a ‘helpless’ guy and then piss on him? Is an MP going to stand up and say there was a good argument for the step-family porn ban, but watersports and bondage deserve protection under the law?

From a selfish perspective, I find it particularly depressing. The UK is the obvious place for me to relocate if the US political situation continues to deteriorate. Yet here we have a left wing government wasting time on some seriously stupid stuff. This is a country where just 2.7% of reported rapes result in charges and the trials themselves face growing backlogs. You’d think the clear and obvious massive harm there would be a priority over what fictional material people jerk off to, but apparently not.

As far as I know this kind of image is still OK to share. But frankly who can tell? I don’t think that’s supposed to be the step-mom standing behind, but imagine trying to debate that fact in court.

Extreme Restraint

I’m continuing the theme of extreme scenes that started with my last post. This time it’s a scene based purely around restraint and imprisonment – 19 days in a padded cell.

The scene is almost exactly as the title suggests. Meaning there’s no sexual activity, no break to play and no significant human contact. Just a man, a small brightly lit padded cell, some bondage and a lot of time to kill. You can read about it both from the inmate and the warden’s perspective. It’s both impressive and more than a little crazy.

I do understand the appeal. If I ever get the opportunity – meaning the right space and the right play partner – I do think it’d be fun to explore imprisonment scenes. But only for a long weekend, and only if physical play and other human contact was mixed in. I suspect the kind of isolation scene described in the linked articles would drive me insane within a week.

Pulpy Goodness

I always enjoy this kind of pulpy cover art from the 50’s and 60’s. It was an era where mainstream media was incredibly straight and conservative, at least compared to the media of today. And yet, the pulp magazine publishers apparently discovered the cheat code for using kinky sex to sell magazines in mainstream stores.

I also like the fact that femdom scenes were featured so frequently. I’m sure there’s a bunch of theories about why that was. They probably focus on their violation of cultural norms, given the patriarchal and conformist nature of the society at the time. I like to think it was because publishers like money and lots of men like femdom content.

Ada

As regular readers may know, I occasionally like to feature women who weren’t sexually dominant (as far as we know) but were amazing and impactful historical figures. For example, a couple of past examples include Julie d’Aubigny and Beryl Swain.

Today, inspired by this article on the Blue Stocking site, I’m featuring another – Ada Lovelace. Given I’ve spent a large part of my life writing software, she’s a figure near and dear to my heart. Her notes on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine are the first example of what we think of today as computer programming. They pre-date the work of the equally brilliant Alan Turing by 100 years. From this article…

She then summarises how a sequence of computations would work on the Analytical Engine; with “Operation Cards” to define the operations to be calculated, and “Variable Cards” to define the locations of values. Lovelace discusses “cycles” and “cycles of cycles, etc”, known to contemporary programmers as loops and nested loops. She gives a mathematical notation for them, which comprises the first instance of a recorded software loop.

She then moves on to Note A, wherein she portrays an extraordinary concept of a general-purpose computing machine– a simply unparalleled vision.

Sadly, she died young, aged just 36. Babbage’s analytical engine was never built and history had to wait until the 1940’s and 1950’s for computer programming to return. That historical gap presents an interesting ‘what if’ moment that fiction authors have enjoyed filling.

There is a programming language named after Ada , although it’s sadly not a widespread one these days. That’s a shame, as I’d much prefer writing in something called Ada rather than the unimaginatively named variations of ‘C’ that are now common.
