Lesbian Nuns on Rollerskates

I’m not sure it’s really femdom, but the story was too good to skip. Apparently a stage show in Germany, featuring the aforementioned nuns, has caused a bit of a stir.

Eighteen theatregoers at Stuttgart’s state opera required medical treatment for severe nausea over the weekend after watching a performance that included live piercing, unsimulated sexual intercourse and copious amounts of fake and real blood.

Now that’s entertainment!

If you’re interested in more detail – and who wouldn’t be? – the guardian has actually had two related stories. The recent one with the fainting patrons and this one a few months back on the director. The shot below is from the latter one. Good to see that’s she wearing kneepads – safety first!

Want

Gillian Anderson has edited a new book – ‘Want: Sexual Fantasies’. It’s a collection of anonymous sexual fantasies written by women and curated by Anderson. It’s obviously inspired by the 70’s classic ‘My Secret Garden‘ by Nancy Friday. I remember sneaking a copy of that off my parents shelf and shocking my teenage self with how explicit and unfiltered it was. That was of course pre-internet. I suspect modern readers will be a bit harder to startle.

It’d be interesting to compare the two books, given the 50 years gap between them. Amazing to think how much the world of media, erotica and communication has changed since then. Human desires in contrast are far slower to shift, if they ever do.

The only thing that gives me pause is that the stories this time were collected via an anonymous internet portal. I hope there was some sort of guards in place to ensure the submissions were actually from women. Nobody needs the collected fantasies of horny online men. That’s already a significant fraction of the internet.

This is Gillian Anderson shot for Porter magazine. Apparently one of the fantasies in the book is hers, although she has not said which.

Vamp

A little old school cool for today’s post. This is Caroline Munro in a shot from the Hammer movie Dracula A.D. 1972. It was far from Hammer’s best Dracula movie, but Ms Munro made at least some parts of it worth watching.

I’m very fond of the old school horror movies that Hammer made from the late 50’s through to the early 70’s. Partly because they’re still fun to watch. Mostly because as a teenager in the pre-internet 80’s, they were often the kinkiest thing on late night tv. Attractive ladies in a low cut tops are good, but attractive ladies who can rip your throat out are better.

Watersports with Sigourney

I’m not sure if this is strictly femdom but, if it’s not, it’s definitely adjacent to it. Something about Sigourney Weaver’s devilish expression and confident stance make for a very striking image.

This was shot by Helmut Newton at the Warner Bros studio back in 1983. That was fours years after her breakthrough role in Alien and the year before Ghostbusters. Other images from the same shoot are very reminiscent of her role in that ’84 movie.

Reluctant Foot Model

I’m beginning to think that somebody over at the Guardian has a bit of a thing for feet. After the previous post’s story on Lily Allen selling foot pictures they’ve now published this one on journalist Zing Tsjeng’s experience on being featured on Wikifeet. I’m all for kink related stories, but two foot fetish stories in a week? Surely not a coincidence.

Personally, I think the best part about foot worship is the resulting view. And while I’ve nothing against the naked foot, I always find them sexier wrapped in leather and grinding on some delicate part of me.

I believe the domme on the left is Anita Blare. I don’t have an attribution for the domme on the right. If you can help me with that then feel free to leave a comment.

Birthday Bonk

Continuing the theme of slightly unusual femdom art, here’s one by the artist Vince Ray. Like the last post it has a 1950’s look, although in this case there’s no doubt about its recent provenance. Also like the last post, it’s a little hard to determine the overall theme. There’s some cross dressing, role reversal, leather gloved beatings and comic captions. All done in a pop art style. Odd but fun.

You can find more from Vince Ray at his site. I featured his work in a past post here. I sourced this originally from the anna doll tumblr.

Letsby Avenue

My Twitter feed has been full of this image today – a police station converted into apartments, where they left a holding cell as a ‘decorative’ feature. The Daily Mail featured it a few days ago.

The cell itself would be fun to have. I’m sure we can all think of a lot of uses for it. However, there are a couple of major drawbacks. Firstly, the horrible grey floor they’ve chosen. A nice brown parquet would have been much more fitting. Secondly, it’s in Dudley in the West Midlands. No offense to any readers from Dudley but – despite its long and rich history – that’s not a particularly desirable location. And I say that as someone who grew up not a million miles from there.

If you’re  into cages, it’s probably better to stick to the portable kind. Something like the one Juniper Dolor is playing with below.

Sociopaths

Interesting article here from the Guardian on Patric Gagne, a sociopath who has written a book on her condition and her life.

I think if you asked the general public what professions lend themselves to sociopaths then, alongside the obvious things like CEO and politician, there’d be a good chance of pro-domme coming up. After all, tying people up and hurting them does align with the cliched media portrayal of sociopaths as sadistic serial killers. Both tend to have secret dungeons and cages to lock people in.

However, if you read the article, I think it’s pretty clear a sociopath would be a terrible fit for a pro-domme. They’re typically impulsive, risk taking, lie easily and have very low empathy. Where a successful pro-domme needs to plan ahead, be risk aware and have a very high degree of empathy. A lot of what makes a great session with a domme goes on inside the submissive’s head. If the domme doesn’t understand that inner life then they’ll have great difficulty creating the desired experience. It’s easy to hurt someone, but hard to do it exactly the right way, both physically and mentally.

Of course, while you might not what to find yourself in a dungeon with a sociopath, the fictional versions can still be fun. This is Jodie Comer, who plays Villanelle in Killing Eve.

Choking

The NY Times has an opinion piece (free link) on the widespread trend of choking in otherwise non-kinky sexual relationships. As you might expect, it’s not a healthy trend, with both short and long term risks. It highlights that a lot of experienced BDSM players think choking is too dangerous, so it’s weird to find it spreading among the vanilla folk.

One part that initially caught my eye was this:

Sexual strangulation, nearly always of women in heterosexual pornography, has long been a staple on free sites…

My initial reaction was annoyance at the usual femdom erasure. We F/m types can do stupid dangerous stuff as well! But on second thoughts, it actually isn’t common in Femdom material at all. You see breathplay pretty often, often smothering with bums on faces, but rarely dommes putting hands around necks. Yay for sensible kinky folk!

I’m not entirely sure where this is from, but I’d guess it’s a mainstream fashion shoot rather than kinky porn.

Anne Hathaway

Ms. Hathaway was the cover story for a recent edition of Vanity Fair. There was even a kinky slant, with some very fetishistic outfits. While I’m a fan of her work and have featured her in past posts, but I’m not entirely sure about this photoshoot. I know I risk Servitor never speaking to me again,  but it does seem to waste her talents with odd shots like this one. How do you combine someone as iconic as Anne Hathaway with latex fashion and not produce an amazing photoshoot?

In better news, she’s also the face of new Versace Icons campaign. I think this shot and the other’s from that campaign are a lot more complementary and capture the fashion fetish aesthetic better.
