Contrasts

Often I find the best images are the ones that use fetish elements sparingly. Like a lot of things in life, it’s the relative change rather than the absolute value that’s important. This image for example has a beautifully composed lady, wearing a light summer dress, sitting in what looks like a normal room, while sporting a giant veiny black strap-on. That’s so much more erotic in my mind that more usual leather, buckles and boots.

Bruised Slave

This struck me as an unusual image. When body marks are shown in femdom artwork (or in any BDSM artwork for that matter), it’s usually the stereotypical cane or whip stripes. It’s rare to see actual bruising or more general signs of physical harm. The contrast in this case between the composed elegance of the mistress and the battered appearance of the slave is quite beautiful.

In terms of the backstory here I’ve no idea what the original artist intended. But with the careful pose and the photographic studio style backdrop, it comes across as a formal portrait session. Perhaps she’s preparing the shot for her annual Christmas card?

Formal mistress and bruised slaveI’ve no idea who the artist is. It looks like something from renderotica and has some similarity to xrenderer, but I don’t think it’s quite his style. It’s an amazing piece of work, so if you do know the artist then please drop me a line.

Happy Faces

After the oddness of this post, I thought some more straightforward artistic Japanese femdom might be in order.

I love this image for the expressions on their faces. She has a wonderful smug look, and is clearly enjoying every moment of his torment. In contrast he’s balanced between pleasure and pain, enjoying the momentary pleasure of her foot, but anticipating the worst…..

Exchanging bodily fluids

The exchange of bodily fluids is one of the key parts of most pornography. But where in US and Europe it’s normally confined to the standard ‘money-shot’, the Japanese tend to get a lot more creative. In the femdom realm anything goes, from spit drinking, through the more graphic toilet functions (for example this kind of thing from the yapoo market series), all the way to the infamous school girl vomit videos (citation and reference definitely not needed).

Of course you can also find those kind of things in the Western market as well if you look hard enough, but it seems far more niche. With respect to Japan, I’m not sure if it’s a specific cultural hot button that gets fetishized, or the result of a generally more creative approach to porn, or just another unintended side effect of their curious censorship laws. But whatever the reason for it, I’m a fan when it results in photographs like this one.

Two faces

Despite the obvious nipple torture, this photograph is really all about faces for me. His look of pain and her sideways glance. You can read a lot of different things into that sideways glance.

Is she looking away to fully enjoy and focus on the screams of pain she’s generating? Is she so expert that she doesn’t need to look in order to grind his nipple with her heel? Or does she not care where she ends up stabbing him? It’s going to hurt wherever it goes after all.
