Tease and denial, animal style

I always aim to bring variety to this blog, and to mix it up with odd cross-connections. This post, which features thoroughbred horse breeding, is one of the stranger ones. So brace yourself for the ‘teaser stallion’ as described by the first section in this Australian sports article.

Always up for it, this lowly runt of a beast is brought into proximity with the hind-quarters of the mare when she is on heat, and if she is in the mood and reacts appropriately, the poor brute of a teaser stallion is led away, to be replaced by the prize stallion, who then does the business.

At this point, Mr Prize Stallion, Mr Studley Do-Right, Stud-to-beat-all-Studs then gets led away for a fine feed and a bit of a rub down followed by a nice sleep until he is up for it once more. Our friend Teaser, though? He is taken to the hind-quarters of another mare, to get her in the mood. Of course, she may well kick out with her hind legs, in which case it is only Teaser’s ribs that cop it. And that is Teaser’s whole life!

I’m not exactly sure how that could be translated into a scene, but it sure seems to overlap with a bunch of kinky triggers. There’s tease and denial, cuckolding and, should the mare not be in the mood, tramping, kicking and general brutality. It sounds like a terrible job, but I’d guess some guys would volunteer given a human equivalent.

This vintage porn shot is from Biederer Studios, a Parisian studio that produced fetish photography in the 20’s and 30’s. I assume that the head he’s wearing was taken from an actual horse, which makes it particularly weird and disturbing. It’s also good to see that the tradition of men in porn inappropriately wearing socks is a long standing one. Heaven forbid he should literally get cold feed while being whipped wearing an authentic horse’s head.

Bound on a bed, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I’ve really nothing clever to say about this image. It’s very cute and makes me sigh in a wistful manner. There’s some expertly done rope bondage and a couple clearly enjoying their moment. What’s not to like?

I found it on the Wet Beehive tumblr. I’ve no original source and Google image search doesn’t help at all. If anyone can help me attribute it correctly then feel free to leave a comment.

Carpet Guy

Danielle Lindemann’s book Dominatrix contains an amusing description of a guy with a fetish for bondage in carpets…

I approach the bar and put my foot on what I assume is a step, when I hear a faint “Oof!” The man is laid out in front of the bar, fully submerged in the rug, his face peering out of a roughly cut hole. I step off and apologize, but I am immediately “corrected” by a nearby domme.

“That’s okay, sweetie—he likes it!” She proceeds to kick the carpet repeatedly and with great force in her platform boots, while the other people at the bar look on with a mixture of nonchalance and delight. The man in the rug beams the whole time. I return to the table where I’ve been sitting.

“I just accidentally stepped on a guy rolled in a rug,” I tell the group of people who’ve brought me to the party.

“Carpet Guy’s here?” one responds.

I was entertained by this scene when I first read it, but never thought I’d have chance to quote it. As fetishes go it sounded like a fairy unusual one. Then I ran across the image below. I think it’s targeted more to foot fetishists, but there’s clearly a rolled up carpet being used as a method of restraint. Either carpet guy is now doing fetish modelling or it’s not as unique an interest as I first thought.

The image is originally from the Foot on Face site. I found it via the Femdom Chronicles tumblr.

Gift wrapped and nicely decorated

Here’s my third and final Christmas themed image. It’s also my favorite of those I published and spotted on other blogs. Normally the festive elements are simply costumes or props. Here they’ve managed to work them into an actually scene. There’s mummification and bondage done in a gift wrapping style. There are lights adding a decorative and a predicament element, and her costume is both seasonal and sexy. It’s a winning situation all round.

If you celebrate Christmas then I hope you have a very happy one. If you don’t, then I apologize for all the seasonal blather, and normally service will be resumed shortly!

I found this on the Domination on My terms tumblr. I don’t have an original attribution. It reminds me of the kind of thing published on the Dudes in Distress tumblr, but that sadly seems to have lost all its content, so I can’t validate that thought. If anyone knows who created it then please leave a comment.

A cuckold at Christmas

This is a still from a Divine Bitches shoot entitled Cuckold Christmas. The lucky hubby has just received a CB-6000 device as a special Christmas gift, and his wife is enjoying tying and teasing him with it in place. After which she locks him into their prison cell under the stairs. I have to say that this plot development did give me a small problem with my suspension of disbelief. It seems an odd order of events to buy him his first chastity device after you’ve already fitted your living room out with a prison cell. Maybe he was stuck in the Christmas rush for an age and she had both time and power tools on her hands? Of course once he’s safely locked up, her boyfriend turns up for a festive fuck, leaving him with another gift to enjoy.

Plot mockery aside, I do like the images from this scene (although he needs to lose the socks). Jealousy and humiliation don’t do much for me in the cuckold dynamic, but I love the idea of tease and denial. The contrast of extreme pleasure with horrible frustration is an intriguing one. But while I think the images are good, the plot description on Divine Bitches is awful. This seems to be a common trait of a lot of kink sites. I’m not sure if they’re trying to cram as many porn-y search phrases as possible into the text, or this kind of description actually works to sell the material. Either way it’d make me keener to buy their movies if they weren’t all described by the porn-o-tron 2000 auto caption generator.

The scene features Felony, Maestro and David Chase. Available here from Divine Bitches.

Tis the season

This is the time of year when Christmas themed images start appearing on blogs. It’s also normally the time of year when I start cursing my lack of suitable material. I’m a fairly ad-hoc blogger, tracking down images as and when I need them for a post. The problem is that Christmas themed femdom is rare, and hunting for it on an as needed doesn’t really work. Fortunately, having encountered this problem twice before, I’ve got a bit more organized in advance this year. I at least have 2 or 3 suitable images saved, so brace yourself for a (very) short series of festive posts.

This first one features Ida Lupino, a pioneering female director and star of such classic movies as They Drive by Night and High Sierra. According to this blog post the image was shot at a Warner Brothers holiday party in 1942.

News from north of the border

A professional dominatrix made a little bit of history in Canada yesterday. Terri-Jean Bedford (actually a retired pro-domme), along with Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott, won their case in front of the Canadian Supreme Court to strike down the countries anti-prostitution laws. This Tits and Sass post has a round-up of various links on the news. You can see some of the positive reaction from pro-dommes and other sex workers in twitter comments like this, this and this.

Some of you might be wondering why a pro-domme is involved in anti-prostitution laws. After all, don’t pro-dommes abstain from sex with clients? The reality is that when it comes to sexual matters the law is frequently an ass. In this case Terri-Jean Bedford was legally working in her own space as a pro-domme in 1994 when the Toronto police raided and arrested her. The confiscated all her equipment, splashed her name across the papers and ultimately (in 1998) convicted her of keeping a bawdy house. Since then, with the help of a dozen anonymous backers, she’s been fighting the legal system. And, as it turns out, winning.

The confluence of sex, commerce, morality and law is always going to be a complex one. I’ve therefore adopted a simple rule I always start with in these matters – listen to the voices of the people involved. It’s fine to debate with academics* and politicians, but not all opinions are equal. And in this case the opinions of sex workers are both far more important and (as far as I can tell) unequivocally in favor of this ruling. So a big congratulations to Ms Bedford, someone who can certainly rock a leather jacket and riding crop look.

I’m actually in the process of reading her book Dominatrix on Trial. I’ll put a review of it up at some point soon.

* The exception to debating academics would be people like Gail Dines and Melissa Farley. Their twisting of facts and obvious bias disqualifies them instantly from any sensible debate.

Woof and Grrrr!

I normally find pet play shots kind of cute. I intellectually get role playing an eager but helpless puppy, even if it doesn’t work for me on an erotic level. However, this image scares the fuck out of me. It looks like a cute female domme and an evil male dog domme. I picture a quivering pink poodle just left of shot that he’s topping. No doubt Bronco is a softy deep down, but I’d want a muzzle and choke collar in place before going anywhere near him.

I found this on the Geek Domme tumblr. I think it originally came from the Pet Play site.

Decision time

This image reminded me of those lovely moments in a scene where I’m not sure exactly which way it’s going to go. Is she going to be nice? Or is she going to be nasty? And if she’s nasty, is it going to be the playful variety or the kind that’ll have me admiring the bruises for days? What makes those moments so lovely is that I’m never sure exactly what I really want. My brain and cock are normally pulling for team nice, but some deep dark part of me is usually in the background murmuring “Go on. Do it. Fuck him up. Make it hurt.”

I found the image on the Femdom Chronicles tumblr. It’s originally from the Men in Pain site.

Pigeonholing (sadly not a kinky technique)

I want to follow up yesterday’s post with a further point about variety in the sexual realm. Although it’s more of an observation on the perception of kink than a specific point.

In non-sexual situations everyone implicitly understands that what you enjoy is situational and variable. Sometimes I want a sandwich, other times I want a fancy meal with matching wines. Tonight I’m watching a moody existential French thriller, tomorrow I’ll catch up on my political comedy via some Colbert Report episodes. Nobody assumes that liking one thing precludes liking other things.

Yet in the sexual realm that assumption crops up all the time. If you like men you can’t like women. If you’re kinky you can’t enjoy conventional foreplay and sex. If you’re dominant you can’t enjoy giving oral sex. If you enjoy pain you can’t enjoy cuddling. Stating a sexual preference often seems to pigeonhole people in a way that other preferences don’t. I’ve been shocked by how many people assume that because I’m a male submissive that I always need a leather clad whip wielding dominatrix to get off.

Admittedly there are people out there who only respond to their very specific fetish. If the only way you can orgasm is by dressing as a penguin and having a large blonde lady in a viking outfit throws herring at your head, well you have my sympathies. But I suspect you’re in a minority, and not just because of that particular fetish. I think for most kinky people, their kinks expand their interests and options, not confine them. And that’s probably a fact we should talk more about. Doing so might encourage people to explore their sexual interests and not fear that they’re heading down a path of depravity that’ll ruin their lives and existing relationships.

I thought this image of some simple kissing and biting made a nice contrast to yesterday’s complex scene. I found this on the Fucking Cuddle tumblr.
