The beauty of dominant women
I’ve stumbled across several high quality kinky rocking horses setups recently. Not sure if that’s just a coincidence or it’s one of those niche kinks that’s suddenly having a moment. This one features Mistress LotusX of Kink on Command. The combination of the anonymizing latex with the leather saddle and solid wooden base really amp up the objectification factor.
This is one of the more interesting and abstract BDSM images I’ve stumbled across recently. I think he’s in what’s technically known as a Gibbet Cage. They were used to publicly display the body of executed criminals after death. Which seems a little pointless, as they were hardly going to escape at that point. I guess deterrence to others was the principal idea.
While they’re striking pieces of equipment, they’re not all that common in playspaces. Probably because it’d be tough to cater to all the different body shapes and sizes necessary. Modern kinksters are a bit fussier about their comfort than your average dead criminal from the 17th Century.
I’m not sure who the domme is, but she’s certainly beautiful and and imposing. The lighting of the shiny latex and metal makes for a great image.
If you can help me attribute this then please let me know via a comment.
Wealthy fish fanciers often display their hobby via aquariums integrated into the walls of their home. If you find that idea intriguing but a little dull, may I suggest the integrated doggy cage? It makes for a striking feature in any library or study and a great conversation piece when you have guests over. Animals to put inside it might be a little hard to source than your average guppy, but you can always adopt from your local dungeon.
The cage here is available for rent as part of the BDSM loft in Berlin. However, I’m not sure who the domme is. If you can help with that attribution, then please let me know via a comment.
Updated: Thanks to Sardax I believe the domme featured is Claudia Hon.
I’m back in Seattle after a fun few days in San Francisco. In a future post I’ll hopefully have some photos to share from the two sessions I did with Domina Yuki.
While they were great sessions, they were less intense than some of the past play we’ve had together (for example here and here). That was at my request. I’ve found that my pain tolerance varies inversely with my general stress level. If I’m stressed then more of my mental and physical capacity is sucked up by that, leaving less for handling kinky pain or torments. With a crazy job, some interment insomnia and the election fallout I’m definitely not at my mental best. That meant steering clear of heavy corporal play or intense CBT on this trip.
One kinky thing that I do find aligns well with stress is bondage. It’s nice to be able to relax and zone out while getting wrapped up. The shot below is a lovely example. This isn’t from my sessions, but was sourced via Trinity’s Bsky feed. You can find the original post here.
Continuing the theme of duos with a Matrix influence (a niche but important genre), here’s Mistress Trinity and Roxanne Waters, with sub Heavy. There’s a lot of lovely latex, leather and bondage on display. They would have all looked very at home at Sydney’s Hellfire club – the location for the BDSM club scene in the original movie. The background extras were apparently the regular club goers, dressed in their usual kinky gear.

This very striking image comes courtesy of LA’s Mistress Rozz. I thought it made for a great contrast to yesterday’s image.
Both are ostensibly of the same thing: A close-up of a pro-domme and her controlled slave in a simple accessory free setting. However, the energy is totally different. Yesterday’s image was intimate and close, the domme physically wrapping herself around him. This is cold, impersonal and objectifying. The touch is enough to position him and no more. Both great shots, but showcasing very different D/s dynamics.
I sourced this via a tweet on Mistress Rozz’s twitter feed. You can find her professional site here.
If you’re on the west coast of Canada this weekend you might want to check out the Vancouver Fetish Weekend. As covered in this article it runs from July 25th to 29th. I’ve no personal experience of it, but looks like it could be worth a visit.
Alternatively, if you’re located further south in San Francisco, then the Up Your Alley fair returns on Sunday July 28th. Not sure how much F/m attendance that has – it looks more M/m focused from what I’ve seen – but another option if you’re on west coast and craving some leather fun in the sun!
This was posted a few days ago by Evilyn13 on her Twitter account. I’m assuming it’s a shot from last years fetish weekend in Vancouver.
It’s always fun when your kinks sneak up on you. I had that experience today in Whole Foods. After recovering from my bout of Covid I needed to restock my cupboards. I was therefore squeezing fruit and weighing vegetables in the produce section when I was passed by a female store employee in a long rubber apron. Totally conventional outfit for someone whose job is dealing with moist and sticky products and 100% practical. However, some tiny bit of my brain still went “Oooh! Long rubber apron. That’s kind of hot.”
Admittedly, I had been stuck in my condo for a week alone, so it’s possible I was slightly sensory deprived. She was also kind of cute. But that was an observation made only after the industrial green apron had kicked into life some kinky braincells. It’s always fun to be reminded of how weird you can be whilst trying to pick between bunches of cilantro.
This is Domina Juniper Dolor, sporting the kind of apron you’re very unlikely to find in your local grocery store. She’s a Bay area based pro-domme and this was sourced via her twitter feed.
One final post on the theme of British museums and collections. This time it’s from the Tate Modern that’s running an exhibition entitled Women in Revolt! It covers Art and Activism from 1970 to 1990 and based on the reviews, seems well worth a visit.
Unfortunately, the part most relevant for this blog has already been and gone. Earlier this month they ran a panel titled ‘Let’s talk about the Erotic Self‘, covering topics like ‘power dynamics, authorship, and the commodification of pleasure.’
The image was the cover image for the panel. It’s by Jill Westwood and titled ‘Potent Female.’ According to this Guardian article it was based on the famous painting by Whistler of his mother.
Westwood had first started making wearable latex sculptures as an art student and later explored the transgressive power of “dom” personas and London’s rubber fetish scene. This photo mimics the pose of James McNeill Whistler’s painting Whistler’s Mother, and was staged at home, which was “a shared short-life housing co-op with other artists”, she explains.
This fetishistic image comes courtesy of Reflective Desire and a series they called Intertwined. It’s beautifully composed and shot, clearly from a creative group that really understands fetish. There’s a lovely tactile sense to it.
