Riding on his back

A lovely from Elise Sutton. I really like his boots!  The marks on his ass are pretty appealing too, but his pony tail... tsk tsk! Didn't anyone ever tell you to brush your pony?

Nice stirrups too, actually... this would be a pretty nice set up for those into carrying their riders on their hands and knees. It actually looks fairly comfortable for her. Bet the carpet's none to nice on his knees though!

Due attention and care

Dear everyone,

I feel like poo today.

Here, have a spanking from Otto.

I know a good spanking always makes me feel better. :)

leashed

Some beautiful line art from Green Colored Star. To me, it almost looks like a candid photo of a D/s couple, the bottom is looking away, distracted, the top is watching his bottom, or perhaps looking past him, playing with his leash... it's a shot of a couple you might see at a play party.

whip

Agh, I've been looking for this artist for awhile now and I can't find them. Suuuch a beautiful pose, and art. Purr, purr.

Worshippers

An interesting D/s portrait from Bruno Schulz. I do love the art of dominants being worshipped. Not sure why.

Twister

A cool concept from Mjranum. Just think of Twister's tagline: The game that ties you up in knots!

Powerful chains

I'm very fond of his strong pose, it makes this picture lean more to D/s than bondage. I'm not even mentioning the hand on her throat. Lovely.

Tension and dominance

I love the tension between these two. The 'femme' one seems to be more dominant... maybe it's the crossed arms? It's interesting how images get across ideas.

How BDSM Saved My Life

So, because I can't sleep and I've been meaning to write this for a while...here it goes.

I'm not going to get into my X Men-esque origins, I'll just start with November of 2005. D had just broken up with me because I was fucked up, which fucked me up more, so I was, in a nutshell, fucked up. We'd done quite a bit of D/s, a little bit of SM, and I'd learned just how much I needed it. And now didn't have it.

I wandered aimlessly for a year or whatever (I could look it up, but I don't actually care all that much) until my desperation finally overcame my apathy and I joined a livejournal BDSM group, where I (contrary to the rules, gasp!) posted a personal looking for a master. I was, of course, instantly snapped up. By a person I assume was black and American....he talked about me being the first white girl he would sleep with, anyway. Basically, he just wanted pictures of me, and to tell me to do things like go commando. Which was ok, in that it was better than nothing, but...not really what I wanted, even then...which is pretty amazing, actually. Anyway. So, I said, you know, this just isn't working for me....and he was all "It's like breaking up with a girlfriend!" ...dude, you've been my online master for like a week. I'm sure you'll be ok.

So then I puttered around for some more time that I honestly don't really remember. And then I went to a party and met Illixim and fell honest-to-god, head-over-heels, love-at-first-sight in love.

Now we get to the life saving part. When I say I don't really remember, I mean it. If I didn't have my (rather sparse) livejournal entries from the time, I'd pretty much have nothing. I was so fucked up that my memories are almost non-existent. So we moved out, and things got better. I mean, we were poor. Very, very poor. But we had each other. And lots to explore. You might say, oh, that's not really BDSM, that's just love. Which was a big part of it. But by now I had the taste and there was no going back, and this love of my life filled my gaping, oozing BDSM hole perfectly.

So, we moved on together, and eventually we thought, hey, why not see if there are other people worth talking to out there, some sort of community?

So we looked up an area munch, and we went (almost chickening out when we got there), and the people weren't big scary crazies. That was May 2009. Then it was summer, and I had no life, so we didn't go back until September. The people who had been running the munch were pretty fed up, and were looking for someone to take over. We were like...so...what would we have to do? Tell a restaurant we're coming on the first Thursday of the month? We can do that. So we hosted the October--our 3rd--munch.

We started getting to know some of the people extracurricularly. Specifically because I, at said 3rd munch, blurted that we would be interested in playing with K. So we went out for coffee with him, and saved our lives god knows how many times by doing so. After discussion, he ended up becoming our mentor, which seems to translate as "someone who saves your ass repeatedly, in many, many ways".

We also got to know R and A, which turned into a massive cluster fuck that I won't get into here, but also got me a horse (another M.C.F.T.I.W.G.I.H) which has been my life goal since I was like five, and has I'm sure saved my life on several occasions.

Huzzah and hats off to you, BDSM. May you continue to open doors and change lives!

gentle dominance

Her turning his head to the side... I love when the dominant has control of the submissive by a gentle touch.

Another plane

The bottom here looks as if this is the happiest moment of his life. He is glowing with pleasure, with happiness, with pure ecstasy. Submission and masochism take us to another plane entirely and sometimes it surprises me that we can come back.

More beautiful work by Marling.

Boot on head

Gorgeous work by Savannah Horrocks!

holding

The positions suggest that the further partner is the dominant one, holding his submissive partner by the hand, by the back and kissing him on the side of the neck. Dominance and the way it can be seen between partners is beautiful.

Art by Aoi No Kitsune.

Pony head harness

Of all the gags I've seen, I like pony bits and cloth gags the best.

The picture is of my wife (the one in the harness) and I, and was taken by a wonderful photographer, Woman in Chains.

Tender

This artist put some loving detail into the tender dominance between these two. Beautiful work by Phoenix Rising.

Quiet submission

Submission can be so quiet.

I found it on malesubmissionart.com.

Kiss on the neck

Kissing on the neck is one of the most controlling, powerful, sexy ways to kiss.

Symbols

Just thought I'd share some BDSM symbols today.

Leather pride flag. Possibly the latex pride flag as well, never was too clear on that.

 Symbol for a male bottom.

Symbol for a male top.

I can't find the equivalent female symbols, but I imagine they would be a cross in the same shapes.

This is the 'owned' flag. See someone wearing this? They're owned. Don't touch.

 Pansexual symbol.

Polyamorous symbol.

BDSM symbol. The three parts are meant to be 'bondage and discipline', 'sadism and masochism' and 'dominance and submission'. Though it could also be 'top', 'bottom' and 'switch', or safe, sane and consensual if you use SSC instead of RACK.

Power

Old fashioned black and white photos are wonderful. Especially kinky ones. The power and strength the top is feeling is clear. A dominant gets his or her power from their submissive and it feels clear in this photo that this dominant is getting plenty from his submissive.

Tranarchism
