An arch of needles

I love everything about this image. The symmetry of it. The precision of the needle line. The sense of calm intensity. The shadowy figure of the domina, imposing and yet not defined. It’s probably my favorite image of all that I’ve posted to date.

Domina YukiIt’s taken from Domina Yuki’s tumblr site. She’s a professional dominant, working out of San Francisco, Her main website with details on arranging sessions can be found here.

I think my reaction to needle play was one of the biggest surprises I had (out of many) when first getting involved in BDSM. It had zero appeal at a fantasy level, and was something I’d recoil from if I came across it in femdom porn. In reality it turned out to be an amazingly intense and enjoyable activity. Although I have to admit to almost fainting on my first attempt, so minus several masochist points there. Fortunately, I have got a little better since then.

I was actually in a similar position to this gentleman a week or so ago, but instead of an arch across the chest, the mistress (Lady Lydia in my case) placed pairs of needles at the top of each arm, my hips, my shins and the edge of my hands. She then zigzagged cord back and forth between them under the table, anchoring me in place with some deliciously painful predicament bondage. That of course then left her free to start work with the needles on the nipples….

It’s not just for bad breath

Mistress Matisse had an interesting post last year about using Listerine strips in a scene. However, it turns out she’s not quite the original I thought she was. It seems that the artist annmo night had already sketched a few ideas around Listerine as a torture device, as the image below shows. It’s quite an inventive approach, as you’d expect from him. I suspect that there’s no scenario where the submissive wins. It’s just a question of which mistress wins when the submissive loses.

Head in the box

After the ambiguous nature of my last post, this image is a return to more straightforward femdom territory. I’ve posted before about hoods and the strong psychological effect they can have. I’m not sure if a box would be better or worse. On the plus side it’s not tightly wrapped around the face, so there wouldn’t be a feeling of constriction. But it’s still going to be claustrophobic and deliver sensory deprivation. And unlike a hood, it also anchors the head firmly in place.

A punch to the face

It’s rare to see a bare fisted punch in femdom pornography. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist, but it’s certainly not as common as slapping or pinching. I’d guess that’s because it’s quite hard to scale gradually. Too soft and it’s not noticeable. Too hard and you could so some serious damage. Not to mention the risk of also hurting the hand of the domme.

I found the image below on the femme fatale tumblr site. There was no background information, but it looked much more like a fashion shot than a porn shot. The magical website tinyeye quickly told me this was the model Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and a bit more digging got me to the entertaining film this image was taken from. It’s an Agent Provocateur advert, and worth checking out if you happen to enjoy gorgeous models with English accents wearing expensive lingerie while tying men up and teasing them. I’m going to guess that covers 99% of my readers.

Ignorance is bliss

I’m rarely given to guilty introspection about kink. I can look at some pretty weird stuff (for example this or this) and be happy to enjoy it in an uncomplicated manner. I don’t tend to try and analyze if liking it is weird or what it suggests about my internal mental health. But occasional an image or video will catch me off-guard and I find myself saying “hmmm, you’re weird”.

This image is a case in point. It’s pretty straightforward. No extreme bondage, heavy S&M or consumption of strange substances. Just a man performing oral sex while the woman casually flips through a magazine. What makes it an exciting image is the fact she’s ignoring him. A very intimate act has been reduced to a servicing function. He’s not only objectified, but he’s even become an object she’s not that interested in. So in looking at this I’m getting turned on by somebody paying no attention to somebody else. Weird.

Oral service while the mistress reads a magazineI found this on the ‘call me Miss‘ tumblr site, although obviously from the watermark it’s originally from the bitches-feet site.

Mistress Cheyenne

I noticed on this post over at ‘The Hang‘, that Mistress Cheyenne had commented that her days in front of the camera for clubdom are long since over. That’s a great shame as she was always a very enjoyable domme to watch in action. I remember her being particularly vicious to her slaves balls, so the image below seems a suitable one to commemorate her work with. The humbler and the cane stripes across the ass must have been painful, but if you look closely you can see a stripe across the balls, and that must have been agony.

Mistress CheyenneFortunately her site, clubdom is still very much alive, with her working behind the camera. So hopefully her fine sense of sadism will be carried forward into the future.

Human pets (part 2)

I’d be happy with the collar and leash. The gag might be uncomfortable after a while, but I could live with that as well. And the tail and cock cage look positively fun. But those floppy ears? That’s a particularly nasty brand of sadism.

Collared boy as a dogAgain I don’t know who the artist is. It looks awfully similar in style to my previous post, but without a signature it’s hard to be sure.

Human pets (part 1)

Human pet play is a very natural fit for D/s relationships. It works so well on so many different levels. There’s the equipment for restraint and punishment – collars, leashes, whips, cages, etc. There’s the dehumanization and humiliation aspect. Animals are typically naked and at ground level, where humans are clothed and standing. So a very natural power imbalance is automatically created.  There’s the idea of training and punishing to create the desired response to basic commands. Removing someones intelligence by treating them like a ‘dumb’ animal. And there’s also a burden of caring that is created. Animal owners are supposed to look after the pets, where the pets themselves have nothing to do except be pets. So that creates all sorts of trust issues and the transference of responsibility. It’s an area packed with hot buttons for kinky role-playing.

Caged PetSadly I’ve no idea who the artist is for this. I do enjoy the proprietary way she’s staring down at him. The cuffed hands behind the back are a nice touch, as it enforces a very animal style of eating.
