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.

Poised Pose by Pillar

This is one of those images where, as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to feature it in a post.

Madam M look as fabulous as she always does. Calm and collected. I also love her chair. That’s a very sexy piece of furniture. Finally, there’s those bound disembodied hands, with the warm organic rope and the hard industrial pillar. There’s a man hidden there somewhere, but he’s simultaneously in the foreground of the shot and also totally absent from it. Beautifully done.

The Tingle

The artist (and researcher)  CurioBubbles posts fun little comics on Reddit about the human body and why things work the way they do. Worth checking out if you like mixing science education with cute artwork.

I mention it here because a recent comic covered why you can get pins and needles after compression on a part of the body. I always thought it was simply due to blood rushing back, but it turns out it’s a bit more complicated than that. The blood coming back does wake the nerve up, but then the sensation you feel is the nerve basically firing off a bunch of noisy signals as it tries to reconnect with the brain. I’m sure anyone who has played with nipple clamps or similar compression toys can attest to how painful that can be. They hurt a bit going on. They hurt like hell coming off.

I’ve noticed that a lot of dommes can be positively gleeful when it comes to removing clamps that have been on for a time. Rubbing the affected area afterwards is another favorite trick. That really messes with the nerve while it’s still recalibrating!

The Caring Profession

I’m a fan of how many kinks the artist – Sleepystephbot – has managed to pack into this one image. You’ve got heavy bondage, medical play, imprisonment, forced feminization, uniforms and mind control. A little bit of something for everyone there. Plus, someone pretending to be caring while doing evil things is always hot.

You can find the original fullsize version of this here on Sleepystephbot’s Deviant Art site. If you like this image then check that site out, as they’ve a lot of similar material.

Some Things Never Change

I’m continuing the historical theme with this image. It’s another one from mrunderheel on Twitter. However, in this case it wasn’t the image that caught my eye – although it does feature a very fun phone – but the text. It’s an interesting glimpse into the pro-domme world of the past.

Firstly, there’s the mention of ‘transvestites’. You almost never see that today. Cross-dressing or feminization seem to be current words of choice. I guess transvestite carries too much negative baggage, Rocky Horror usage not withstanding.

Then there’s the use of ‘Greek’ to mean anal sex. That used to be a standard sex worker code word but has gone out of fashion. ‘Slave Greeking’ here presumably means pegging or similar activities.

The acronym S.A.S.E might require some explanation for my readers under 40. That stands for ‘Self Addressed Stamped Envelope’ and was a common request if you were writing to someone and wanted a response. By enclosing an envelope with a stamp you were paying the postage for the reply. I remember it being a standard thing in the 70s and 80s when requesting information.

The part that made laugh and gave me the post title was the phrase – “No pen pals.” I’m assuming this meant don’t waste my time and send me letters expecting a response without paying for a session. Yes, even when it took many days to  communicate, and actual pen and ink were required, reply guys and timewasters were still a thing. Self-centered horny men are, sadly, in endless and timeless supply.

Thumbscrews

I’m always entertained when I stumble across strange vintage femdom pornography. Often it’s terrible bondage or odd outfits that catch the eye. In this case it’s an unusual means of torture.

I think the original form of a thumbscrew was a small vice, that crushed the fingers. The domme here seems to have taken the screw part of the name a little too literally. I’m guessing these are woodwork and metalwork tools that have been repurposed by an inventive pornographer. She at least seems to be enjoying herself, even if the slave isn’t.

I’d guess from the color and style this was originally shot in the 1970’s. It was recently posted to Twitter by mrunderheel.

Fast Growing

I was recently amused to see that two totally different things were both being acclaimed as the ‘fastest growing kink’.

Firstly, Metro made the claim that race play was the fastest growing craze in kink. Then, a day later, Vice claimed that fart fetish content is the fastest growing kink of 2026. Both can’t be right, particularly given how different those things are. Presumably it means that the biggest selling porn of the year will be someone who can both fart and yell racist slurs simultaneously. Insert your own joke about the current President here.

Personally, I find it hard to believe either of those kinks will make it out of a narrow niche. That’s not to say they can’t grow, but they’ve both got a lot of negative social stigma attached. There clearly has been a few breakout kink categories over the years – cuckolding and faux-incest come to mind – but I wouldn’t bet on race or fart play being the next big one.

Artwork is by the late great Namio Harukawa. I’m not sure he did explicitly fart fetish drawings, but I’d guess if you have that kink, you’d find a lot to like in his work.
