A Last Sniff

Finishing up my series of scent themed posts with a bottom shot. Although I feel that part of the body is in a bit of a different category to the others featured.

Armpits, genitals and (to a lesser extent) feet have an ongoing natural odor. Unless you’ve just got our the shower or have gone crazy with deodorant, there’s an underlying scent that’s typically there. Bottoms are a bit more binary. The either don’t smell or they smell in a very different kind of way. That kind of scent play has its fans, but it’s more of a niche kink I think.

I believe this is Cybil Troy. I’m sure her hygiene is impeccable and her bottom therefore scented like a summer breeze.

Sniffing the Pits

I’m continuing the scent theme from the last couple of posts. After previously featuring panties and shoes, we’ve moving up the body to that other great scent center – armpits. I think they’re more of a niche interested compared to the previous sources, but they definitely have their fans.

I couldn’t decide which image to pick, so this is a two for one deal. The first is LA based Daddy An Li, in a shot from one of her clips. The second is Tokyo based Mistress Youko (more links available here). I’m a fan of keeping armpit hair, so I particularly appreciate this shot. For scent play it’s a real plus.

Maid Service

I don’t feature a lot of the classic (or cliched, depending on your point of view) French Maid femdom genre. There are exceptions, but it’s generally not my thing. It often leans into a humiliation dynamic that doesn’t typically resonate for me. Plus, I hate dusting and polishing.

All that said, I have been really enjoying reading The Maidbot Protocol by Maidbot Sally.  You can find Part 1-6 here and Parts 7-10 here. There’s also follow-up stories here and here. They feature a young man being voluntarily controlled/manipulated by an AI system programmed by his sister and her friends.

I think I’m a fan because they lean so heavily into objectification rather than humiliation. Somehow being ignored and controlled is so much hotter to me than being the focus of attention. There’s also some gentle tease and denial as an added bonus.

If you like that story then you might also want to check out another of the author’s stories – Metalmaid Sally. That leans more heavily into the sci-fi elements and has a female sub, but dramatically ramps up the intensity of the objectification and tease+denial.

The captioned image is from Michael1970 who has a lot of captioned images along the metalmaid theme.

It won’t hurt a bit

Continuing the theme of AI imagery and kinky niches: Another group that has benefited is kinksters into medical fetish. Photographing those kind of scenes requires pretty specialized locations and equipment. AI might produce a fair number of wonky scalpels, but it makes creating fantasy backgrounds and furniture a lot easier.

I’ve mentioned Velvet Lash before, who has a nice line in heavy bondage medical play. Another example is hello22011, who has a lot of castration themed imagery. The shot featured below is from TheWriterThatsMad. His work tends to lean into the more sadistic side of things.

Home is where the Dungeon is

For anyone thinking about building their own home playspace, the NY Times has an article with some inspiration in it. It’s more of a lifestyle piece than a how to guide, but it’s always nice to see a positive mainstream BDSM article, even if it does include the obligatory 50 shades reference. For NYC based kinksters there’s also a shout out to Lucy Sweetkill and Nicholas Knight. The latter looks like an excellent option for anyone after custom built furniture on the east coast.

Shibari seems to be a common interest, almost to the point of cliche now. Personally, if I was going to build a custom space, I’d go high tech. Lots of rubber, straps, chrome and things that go slurp. Something like Mistress Miranda’s BDSM laboratory shown below. Less natural wood and meditative bondage, more rich sensation layering and mad scientists toys.

You can see more shots of Mistress Miranda’s amazing space on her site and from this post when I visited it back in 2023.

Old School Ashtray

Stumbling across this image on a tumblr was a trip down memory lane. This is the inimitable Miss Chambers (as featured in past posts) shooting for Cruella/Goddess magazines back in the mid-90’s. I don’t know exactly when or where this shot was taken, but I’m fairly certain that’s where it dates to.

I’ve written before about acquiring those magazines in the early 90’s. Later in the decade they had a website, which was the first adult site I ever brought a subscription for. That led to many happy nights of downloading image sets over the ubiquitous (for the time) 28.8K modem.  Those featuring Miss Chambers were always my favorites. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago.

That Holiday Again

Valentine’s Day has rolled around again. I can’t say I’m a fan. For single people it means being reminded that your single. For couples it’s pressure to deliver something special or overspend on a commercial romantic gestures. I know some people manage to make it work, but that seems the exception rather than the rule.

As a perennially single person, I didn’t celebrate it. However, if I was going to, a leather clad domme coming out of a big heart shaped box would have been a pretty neat way to do so. In this particular case it’s Adrienne Kay, a self described Erotic Dominatrix & (Kinky) Companion. I’m sure she’d be a fabulous person to celebrate the 14th with.

Adrienne is based out of Vancouver. You can find her professional site here and her Bluesky here.

Second Skin

Fans of fetish, in particular its history and meaning, might want to check out a new book called ‘Second Skin’ by Anastasiia Fedorova. I discovered it via this LA Times review. It also got positive coverage in places like Cosmo and Dazed. I’ve not yet got hold of a copy yet myself, but it seems interesting and worth checking out.

“Second Skin” is more sociological than sexy; more anthropological than animalistic. Its raison d’etre is not simply to convey the history, the mechanics, the meaning or even the sexual pleasures of fetishism.
(from the LA Times article)

Discussing such a book does give me the perfect excuse to feature some lovely fetish imagery. This is Dusseldorf based pro-domme Miss Kiara. This touches on at least 3 primary fetishistic themes – leather, smoking and that black/white smart dress style. Although I’m sure those are not the only fetishes Miss Kiara might be appealing to.

I Want Your Sex

A film featuring Olivia Wilde as a domme who pegs, spanks and bullies her junior assistant sounds like a winner. That’s the premise of the erotic comedy ‘I Want Your Sex’ which recently premiered at the Sundance festival. Unfortunately, the reviews so far (Daily Beast here and Guardian here) are mid to poor, which is a shame. Still, any movie that features Wilde as a sociopath in revealing outfits of leather, latex, high heels and chainmail (as the Daily Beast puts it) can’t be all bad. Maybe worth a stream once it makes it to a wider distribution.

This is Olivia Wilde attending the Sundance Premier.

Moving from the bad place

Circe has provided some useful suggestions for encouraging people to move from the bad place (aka Twitter) to Bluesky. There’s a list for sex workers and one for clients. Worth sharing if you’re on social media.

I have to admit I find it frustrating when people complain a bunch about Trump, Musk and the current political climate, but then exclusively post on Musk’s Twitter. I get posting to both if your livelihood depends on Twitter views, but at least provide the same content on Bluesky.

I do still occasionally scan Twitter, given that a lot of dommes continue to use it exclusively. But I refuse to post, hit like or otherwise engage with it. I’ve struggled with my linking policy. I hate sending anyone there but I also hate not attributing content. My compromise is to try and find any alternative link I can provide, whether that’s Bluesky, Instagram, Reddit or whatever. Only if there’s literally no alternative will I link. If a content creator is exclusively sharing content there, I figure I either need to live with that link or not share the content.

Circe is a professional girlfriend based in London. You can find her Bluesky here and her professional site here. While she’s not a domme, I figure a lovely image of a gorgeous woman is never unwelcome. The visual stories she has on her site are unusual and beautiful. Well worth checking out.
