Observational bias

Jezebel has a fairly silly article on the increase in young tech workers visiting pro-dommes. Like a lot of similar articles it suffers from the problem of observational bias.

Pro-dommes are often the face of kink, as they’re easy to find and (in some cases) happy to advertise. Unfortunately they’re also expensive to visit. On the West coast that means $200 to $300 per hour, which is a lot for the average household. That means the clientele skews to the well off. And since well off men tend to be older, we end up with the cliche of the middle aged banker or lawyer who needs to blow off steam between doing million dollar deals. Now the booming tech economy in some parts of the US has landed a bunch of cash on a small number of software developers, and we get stories about them visiting pro-dommes. The key issue here isn’t kink or sexuality, it’s opportunity. I’m pretty certain if all pro-dommes universally reduced prices to $10 per hour, we’d be seeing articles on the incredibly variety of different people who visit them.

On the plus side, the article does give me an excuse to feature a photograph of one of the dommes interviewed – the lovely Mistress Morgana of San Francisco.

Femdom blog page updated

As the title suggests I’ve updated the Femdom Blog Page. This means adding a few new blogs, deleting some dead ones and shuffling some dormant ones. I’ve also tweaked the active blogroll to the right of the main page. The new blogs added are…

If anyone has suggestions for additional blogs to add then please leave a comment. Note that I typically monitor new blogs for a few months before adding them. Too many start off strong and then die after a handful of posts.

The beautiful image below is of Miss Ava Zhang, a Los Angeles pro-domme who I’ve featured previously. Her blog is worth reading, despite pronoun abuse.

Elizabeth

While I’m on the subject of great costumes, here’s a fabulous one of Elizabeth from the game Bioshock Infinite. It’s a cosplay rather than Halloween costume, but it’s still a great example of an elegant and sexy as hell costume that doesn’t rely on plunging necklines or skimpy outfits. The creator is LilSophie, who is clearly in a different costuming league compared to the average Halloween partygoer.

I’m actually taking a few days vacation over the Halloween weekend. I’m going to be in Las Vegas, where I’m expecting to see all manner of crazy outfits. Blogging may be a bit erratic, but I’ll do my best to keep posting. I’ve no particular plans, other than leaving the Seattle rain for tall drink on a Vegas patio, so I should be able to keep things ticking over here.

The photograph for this was Shinkarchuk and the cosplayer was LilSophie.

Honeymoon

Here’s a final image to finish my quartet of anal themed posts. I think it’s designed to be a wedding themed shot. The white dildo and harness seem well coordinated with the dress.

I’ve been surprised by the amount of wedding related porn I’ve stumbled across in recent years. It doesn’t do much for me, but it’s clearly a thing. I guess it toys with the virginity/purity/perfect moment of the wedding night. Anytime there’s a strong societal convention, there’s going to be someone with a kink that plays off it.

In this particular case I picked it just because it’s just a cute image. Although I do love the potential symmetry of using a strap-on on a wedding night. Most femdom porn focuses on the bride fucking the groom, but why not go both ways? What could be a better start to a marriage than each person fucking the other?

Vintage BDSM prints?

One of the dommes I’ve played with in recent years has posed a question which, for the moment, has me stumped. She’s decorating a space and wondered where she could buy vintage BDSM prints or photographs. She’s looking for something more artist than pornographic, although of course what was porn in the last century can be art in the next! I’ve no shortage of sources for these kind of images online, but I’m not exactly sure where you can buy high quality prints to hang on the wall. Can anyone out there help?

Obviously for contemporary commissioned artwork I’d recommend Sardax. For a random grab bag of who knows what you’ll get, there’s always ebay. But I’m unaware of a site specializing in vintage BDSM prints. It’s also a hard thing to search for, as porn tends to dominate the results. The best I could find was this, which offers modern prints but nothing vintage. So does anyone have any pointers to help out? Feel free to leave a comment or email me.

I’m not sure if the above image is the kind of thing this lady is searching for but, as an example of vintage artwork with a kinky twist, I like it.

Dommes & Toys

After my naked ass in the last post, here’s something a little more visually pleasing. The photographer Mete Ozeren has done a sequence of shots featuring NYC pro-dommes and the toys they use. Unfortunately there is not a lot of additional context provided beyond the images themselves. As far as I can tell (based on the filenames) the toys featured are not necessarily the toys of choice of the pro-dommes in the interleaved photographs. However, I believe the whip below does belong to Ms Maya Midnight, who is featured in the other image. I discovered this set of images via Ms Maya Midnights twitter feed.

Memory lane

I went to see a great 80’s cover band tonight. Drinking heavily and loudly singing along to 80’s hits probably isn’t ideal preparation for kinky fun tomorrow afternoon. My throat will probably be cursing me, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

I don’t have a date or attribution for the image below, but I have to think it’s a vintage femdom shot from the 80’s. Something about the boots and the look just shout it.

Sharp suit

This seems an appropriate progression from yesterday’s film noir post whilst still maintaining the clothing theme. Black and white, with a stylish suit, but this time it’s the woman’s turn to wear it. This was a shoot for Marie Claire Magazine in 2012. The model is Bruna Tenorio.

Boots and brolly

After a series of text heavy posts I think something lighter and more visual is called for. So standby for a sequence of clothing themed images. This one is just a regular mainstream fashion shot, but she sports a nice combination of elegance and hauteur. Plus the boots and umbrella put me in mind of the Avengers.

Fetish investment

I’m always impressed with the lengths some people will go to in order to satisfy a sexual fetish. Often it seems people are praised for investing time and effort in almost every niche apart from the sexual one. Spend years of your life become an expert on 16th century Italian poetry and your a respect scholar. Spend a few months working out how to realize a great sexual fantasy and your some sort of perverted deviant. That seems somewhat unfair.

I’m not sure of the source of the image below, but clearly somebody has invested heavily in medical equipment and latex uniforms. They eye makeup and the sheer shininess of everything is really the only give away that while this lady may be preparing to finger a prostate or two, she probably shouldn’t be relied upon for an official checkup.
