Capricious Corporations

Tumblr seems to be in an odd spot these days. I don’t really understand what its plan or target market is.

It was originally famous for hosting a large amount of erotic imagery. That was a business model that pushed their worth over 1 billion dollars. Then there was the purge of adult content which predictably destroyed their user base and left them a cultural irrelevance. Now a lot of porn seems to have sneaked back but it doesn’t seem welcome and sites get randomly blown up. Some will post erotic content for years without issue. Others, with similar content, are wiped after a few weeks.

Are they actually trying to block porn and just really suck at it? Or are they trying to use it to attract users and just randomly blowing sites up to maintain the fiction they don’t want it? Or do they tolerate it until the bandwidth of a particular site becomes too high? It’s really hard to fathom their plan.

More Maids

My previous post on cleaning and maids reminded me of this prior post on the fantasy of maidbots. Checking out the linked authors from that piece it seems they’ve some new material available.

Maidbot Sally has a new story ‘Ancillarobophobia‘, featuring a young man forced to overcome his fear of electronic maidbots by becoming one for his family. As you might guess, things don’t go his way. No sex, but lots of objectification.

Michael1970 has an ongoing multipart visual story along similar lines. Less bot and more just regular maid however. It’s obviously built with AI art, but I find that less objectionable when someone is trying to use it as part of their creative process. It’s when all the creativity is left to the GPUs that it seems so pointless and sloppy.

This is the second panel from Michael1970’s story. You’ll need a DeviantArt login to see either work but they’re free and easy to create.

Cleaning

I was wondering today – as I surveyed the books, clothes and paperwork scattered across my apartment – if I should hire a pro-domme to clean it. Not in a direct, hands on sense of course. Instead, she could direct me to clean it. And when I say direct, I really mean to beat, bully, threaten and forcefully instruct me.

I like having a clean apartment. I like being consensually bullied by women. I just hate having to do actual cleaning. Maybe having a domme force me to scrub the shower and dust the skirting boards would kill two birds with one stone. I’d get both a kinky session and a clean apartment. And maybe a French maid’s outfit as an added bonus.

Of course, I could just hire an actual cleaner. But that’s far too sensible and obvious a solution.

This topic appropriate artwork is by the artist Bruth.

You can see more from this artist on Twitter and Instagram. They’re also open to commissions.

Exclusively Non-exclusive

If you hang out on sex worker social media – as I do, because, you know, hotness – you’ll occasionally hear mention of an exclusive arrangement. It’s pretty much what the name suggests. An agreement where the worker is temporarily exclusive to one client. As you’d expect, such a set-up typically costs a very large sum of money each month.

It’s an escort thing rather than a pro-domme thing. I guess a charitable interpretation would be that extremely wealthy people hire chefs, accountants and lawyers to work exclusively for them. Why not a sex worker? The less charitable version would be that people have odd ideas about sex and don’t like the idea of a woman having multiple partners.

It always makes me smile when I see it mentioned, because I have almost exactly the reverse fantasy. That is paying a hot sex worker to exclusively not have sex with me. She’d regularly show up, dressed to the nines, tell me at length about all the amazing sex she’s having with other people, then leave. Possibly delivering a swift kick to the balls as she exits stage left.

I guess there’s a touch of findom in there, but the fantasy is really more about the tease, denial and humiliation elements. They’re so much more fun than simple orgasms.

This Sardax image seemed an appropriate one to accompany the fantasy. You can find more from him on his site and twitter.

Top Tip

I’ve written in the past about the challenges adult content creators face. I’ve also frequently encouraged readers to contribute to content creators in a meaningful way (i.e. cold hard cash). Today I’m going to offer a possible way to achieve that without breaking the bank.

I’ve been subscribed to a bunch of mainstream streaming services for years. Pretty much all the major ones. About a month ago I went through them and cancelled all the ones I wasn’t regularly using. Kept just a couple. I then committed to subscribe to kinky artists and content creators for the equivalent amount I’d saved. So far it has turned out to be a great decision.

I feel happy to not be sending money to huge amoral corporations. I’m equally happy to be sending money to artists I like. My bank balance is no worse off. And now, rather than endless shows I’ll never watch, I get regular emails about new kinky art I can enjoy. It’s a win-win-win.

One artist I subscribed to was Formant. I wouldn’t recommend him if you’re strictly a F/m fan. A lot of his work is F/f and M/f, with just some F/m. However, if like me you’re happy with a kinky mix in your art, then he’s a great choice. New work is published very regularly (pretty much daily) and it’s all of an equally high quality. Much more fun than any of the streaming services I killed.

This artwork by Formant is part of a series. He shared this example for free on social media and the rest are available on his Subscribe Star feed.

Red Rump Returns!

A couple of years back I did a few posts on Femdom artists who didn’t seem to be active anymore. One of those was Red Rump, a specialist in spanking art. He posted some great artwork in 2011 through 2015 and then went quiet.

I’m very happy to say he’s back and posting images again! Sadly, he’s posting them on Twitter, but I’ll take whatever I can get. Check him out if you’re into spanking. His art art has a lot of energy and playfulness to go along with the kink.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

I’m beginning to suspect that the creator of the comic SMBC (aka Saturday Morning Breakfast Serial) has a bit of a kinky side. I base this purely on the number of examples of his work that I’ve found suitable to feature here.

The latest example is below. If you look at the hover text on the original site’s posting it says he once joked about this on old Twitter and a domme said she’d done in plenty of times. I’m not surprised by that. Kneeling on nasty things is a time honored punishment. Lego just adds a whimsical touch.

Personally, I’d rather take a heavy beating over kneeling torture. The very small number of times I’ve been forced to kneel on rice or similarly painful surfaces, I’ve had to safeword within a minute or two. I almost fainted on one occasion. Guess I just have particularly bony knees.
