This is artwork by Edda (aka apfelgranate. on tumblr) based on the Ace Attorney series of games from Capcom. There’s a lovely sense of physicality and sensuality to it. Not to mention the realistic but unusual presence of in shot towels and lube.

What a dildo
I don’t like to feature politics too heavily here. There’s enough of it in the mainstream press, without it intruding into your sex blogs. However, this article on Ted Cruz was too amusing to resist.
Apparently, in his role as Texas solicitor general he once argued that dildos and vibrators should remain illegal in Texas.
In perhaps the most noticeable line of the brief, Cruz’s office declared, “There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one’s genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship.” That is, the pursuit of such happiness had no constitutional standing.

I’m not sure about you, but I don’t want to live in a country where I can’t stimulate my genitals for non-medical purposes.
Of course, the same guy who wants to monitor peoples sex toys is also the same person who believes in a small goverment that stays out of people’s lives. It takes a very peculiar kind of mind to hold both these points of view at the same time. And for any Ted Cruz supporters out there who I’ve offended, I can only apologize and ask: What on earth are you doing reading this blog? This is a ticket straight to hell.
There is of course only one way to finish a post like this. Here’s a lady sporting a dildo and stimulating her genitals. I’m not sure about her interpersonal status, but that doesn’t look like a medical or procreation situation to me. She better hope President Cruz never takes office.
Interior design
Here’s a final post in my short series featuring fancy playspaces. It’s back to our old friend kink.com and specifically an article in a architecture magazine on their Armory building space. There’s no particularly striking revelations in there, but it has got some interesting shots of the empty sets and the building space. If you ever wanted to see the ‘creepy bedroom’ set or the ‘dirty showers’ set without being distracted by the naked people, here’s your chance.
Alternatively, for those of us who like some naked people in their kinky playspaces, here’s Lorelei Lee and Vince Ferelli in what looks like the padded cell set. This is obviously a shot for Divine Bitches.
Unusual centerpiece
I have no goddamn clue what’s going on here. There’s a guy with his head in the table, some pegging action in his rear, and a random group of people eating lunch. I like a bit of theater with my food, but I’m not sure sweaty anal action is the ideal accompaniment. Nobody should have to send a salad back because some santorum landed in the dressing.
I’m afraid I’ve no idea where this is from. Please leave a comment if you can help me attribute it.
Updated: Thanks to Isa for pointing out this is a scene from kink.com’s Upper Floor site and that it’s actually a F/f pair on the table rather than a F/m one. Apologies for the initial incorrect description, although I still stand by my original view that it’s a really weird set-up.
Don’t be scared Kanye
I’m continuing the celebrity theme – moving from Beyonce to Kanye West. In one recent silly and pointless twitter feud (is there any other kind?) he was accused of enjoying ass play, a claim which he firmly denied. So amazingly dumb was the whole thing it made Jenny McCarthy look like the smart one. That’s not a phrase I ever thought I’d find myself writing.
If he genuinely keeps partners ‘away from that whole area’ then he’s really missing out. Ass play can be a lot of fun. But I suspect Kanye knows that already. Shame he couldn’t own up to it.

Honeymoon
Here’s a final image to finish my quartet of anal themed posts. I think it’s designed to be a wedding themed shot. The white dildo and harness seem well coordinated with the dress.
I’ve been surprised by the amount of wedding related porn I’ve stumbled across in recent years. It doesn’t do much for me, but it’s clearly a thing. I guess it toys with the virginity/purity/perfect moment of the wedding night. Anytime there’s a strong societal convention, there’s going to be someone with a kink that plays off it.
In this particular case I picked it just because it’s just a cute image. Although I do love the potential symmetry of using a strap-on on a wedding night. Most femdom porn focuses on the bride fucking the groom, but why not go both ways? What could be a better start to a marriage than each person fucking the other?
Celebrating scoring
I stumbled across this image yesterday while looking for something to feature with the pegging article. Given that post was all about a sweet first pegging experience, this image was far too porn-y to use. It did make me smile though, so I figured I’d save it for a post of its own. The outfits and set-up doesn’t do much for me, but the two expressions are great. Sometimes sex is a tender expression of love between two people. Sometimes it’s about celebrating sticking your strapon right in his pooper.
This is from the Club Dom site.
Pegging virgin
The postmodern women site has an interesting and thoughtful article on pegging for the first time from the women’s perspective. It’s a really nice piece that’s ideal for sharing with a partner curious but slightly nervous about the idea.
I felt amazingly and powerfully in love with him. Seeing him so enthusiastically surrender to me had made me feel very tender towards him and extremely protective. I’d done something that made me feel exposed and the fact we had shared that made me trust him even more. I felt liberated. In my head, memories of him thrusting back against me or him grabbing my arm so I could hold him kept recurring. Each time it took my breath away.
Like a Virgin… Pegging for the Very First Time by Anne Hastings
The image below is by the artist Andres Serrano. He’s known for works such as Piss Christ and Blood and Semen. This is called ‘Christiaan and Rose‘. A touch sweeter and lighter on the bodily fluids than his more famous works.
A hanger on
The image you see below was my alternative shot for the previous ‘ouch’ post. In many ways it is scarier than the one I ended up going with. Anyone who has tried to do rope suspension will know how surprisingly difficult it is. The average human body is pretty heavy and isn’t fitted with well designed attachment points. Just getting it safely into the air and balanced is tough, let alone ensuring it’s not twisted the wrong way or being painfully compressed by the rope. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to be suspended and then have someone hanging off you like this. He doesn’t even have that many support points, so he’s either very well balanced or that must be fairly painful.
The lady is sporting a strapon, but it’s tough to see how she could use it in this position. Maybe a crazy inverted suspended 69?
The image is of course from the Captive Male site.
Negotiation in the moment (cont)
A few additional thoughts struck me while I was publishing yesterday’s post. Nothing new or contradictory here. Just extensions of the previous ideas.
Firstly, as a piece of advice, I’d suggest that it’s important to avoid leading questions when negotiating consent in scenes. If the submissive is already awash in endorphins and mentally predisposed to agree with the domme, then leading questions are problematic. Saying something like “Is it OK if we do X?” doesn’t help the submissive make the necessary mental gear shifts. The subtext is the domme would like to do X. Instead say something like “Is it OK if I do X or would you rather we avoid it?” That gives a nice simple binary choice (important when someone might be endorphin clouded) and suggests that yes or no or equally valid answers.
Secondly, I’d like to be clear that the onus isn’t always on the domme to negotiate every single activity every single time. I’ve actually been in the situation Miss Margo described in her post – anal penetration when tied up and we hadn’t discussed it – and it wasn’t an issue at all for me. That was because I was playing with someone I was very familiar with and we’d already done bondage and anal play multiple times in past sessions. In those cases I think it’s down to the submissive to take things off the table that a reasonable person might assume were still on the table. If anal play is usually OK but I have an iffy stomach one day, it’s down to me to mention it either beforehand or when the strap-on comes out. I shouldn’t expect the domme to mind read that something previously fine is now an issue.
One final point I wanted to make was actually touched on by Miss Margo in a comment she left to the post. Namely that it’s easier to achieve a great headspace when you trust the domme to negotiate clearly. If I constantly have to parse her questions and try and determine are we negotiating or playing then it’s hard to relax. Similarly if I know she’s liable to try new things and the onus is on me to stop them, then I’ll always be asking myself if I’m OK with the progression of the scene. Conversely if I know she’ll step out of character as necessary and ask simple questions then it makes it much easier to zone out when she’s in character. I wrote last week about taking a ‘holiday from yourself‘ during intense scenes. I think that’s only possible when you can fully relax and trust the person you’re with.
Given anal play got mentioned several times it seems appropriate to finish with this image. I’m afraid I don’t have a source for it. I found it via the Pegging with a Smile tumblr.
