shackled nude

A lovely image from Ossia. Some chains and wrist shackles, the furniture makes the scene feel historical and some purple anal beads makes it seem more in the present. Pretty long hair too. I'm pretty fond of this artist's work. Ossia also posted this as a work in progress, which I always enjoy.

throat

Mmm. A gem from Kirinawa.com, though I stumbled across it on My darker sides. Some nice simple rope bondage and a big strong boy grabbing his pet by the throat for a kiss. His expression is almost tender, but I can't figure out what her expression says. I love the big hand around her throat though. Purr.

Thanks for the info, commenter! :D

belted

A handsome man lays naked on his side, his wrists bound together with a belt.  Great picture, great use of a pervertible object (belt). I love using pervertibles, it makes it sexier for some reason. I'm not sure what that fetish is, or if it's just me, but the random creative use of an object in a sexual/bdsm way is hot.

on a leash

Art of a pretty young man in a collar and some facial makeup/tattoos. Very nice work by Kyralena.

A gag and a turtleneck

Apparently gags can easily be hidden under turtlenecks! Great every day perversions. XD I love that all the kinksters I meet are usually so very normal looking.

barbed wire bondage

I love the way the barbed wire looks tightened against her skin. Some interesting masochism. I wonder how barbed wire bondage would feel. The top would probably need gloves and wire cutters, but it could be really fun.

CD top

A CD top rests his heel against the back of his partially undressed and much marked bottom, as his bottom worships his heel. I love the bottom's pose and the fact that the 'sissy' one is the top. We don't see enough of that.

Art from Araihime.

Enthusiasm

Some adorable and enthusiastic play between a genderqueer trans-womyn and a genderqueer trans man. I love when everyone's happy during a good session. And that grin around a makeshift gag is perfectly sweet. I want to take this adorable bottom home with me! The wavy pink hair! *squee*

From Kinky Tea Party.

genderfucked

A lovely genderfuck from Miss Rat. Gorgeous art style! I'm feeling envious.

red ropes, white skin

A gorgeous picture from Josselin Guichard. A cute little nipple piercing, lovely red rope work, black clothing and panties and an all around lovely model.

chains and cuffs

An interesting photo from Slave Dreams. I like the dust on the bottom of his feet, and the amount of chain he has between his feet. Nice bondage.

Tarosan

Another gorgeous bondage watercolor from Tarosan. I envy that man's abilities.

head box

Interesting head box from Men in Pain. Cock ring, belts around the wrists and chest and a huge wooden box over his head. I wonder what the little door is for? To let him peek out or to put unpleasant things in through?

Pet hood

A great pet photo from My Darker Sides. A cute collar, giant bell and a leather blindfold hood with ears.  Cute kitten.

sketched shibari

A cute little shibari sketch from backuppika. It's a nice, simple sketch. I really like posting art that is just from young artists who are interested in bdsm. It doesn't have to be complicated, just has to show that the artist enjoyed drawing it.

barber chair bondage

Some vivid and lovely art from Ben Newman. Especially hot because this chair looks like Sweeney Todd's barber chair.

carrying his pet to bed

A master carries his tired and bruised pet to bed, to tuck him in and love him. Nice welts on his butt, some cuffs and a collar and a master affectionately carrying his boy. Very sweet.

Art by Coffee cream.

suspended with a pole

One more dance-like photo from the talented John Tisbury. All his models look as if they're ballerinas.

Handprint

A great spanking photo from Spanking blog. I love how hard he's spanking her, her skin is quite indented around his hand. And the formal wear is, of course, just awesome for me.

Half of him

Rope perfection from Andrei.  Beautiful model and beautiful work. I love his style of rope work, it's always quite new and creative. It's not an every day tie, it's not something you'll see again and again, it's always something fresh. It's his creativity that makes his work so wonderful to see.

rope-topia

Some lovely suspension from rope-topia. I'm getting more and more respect for the riggers/photographers from rope-topia. So far, all of the pictures I've collected from them have been stunning. Great models, great rope art and great photos.

birthday present

Happy birthday! You always wanted a bound and blushing boi, right? We even equipped him with cuffs, cock bondage, paddles, vibrators and nipple clamps!

Art from Fellows.

knife behind her back

A cool photo from Mister Lamour. Cute little sadist with a knife.

boot licking art

I put my vote in for more boot licking art! From everyone! Hehe.

This lovely piece is from Lady Northstar.

rope stockings

Beautiful, if a bit too tight, rope work.

Death of an Institution, Institutional Deaths

Illixim and I were discussing Famous People's Deaths the other day, and de Sade came up. We both thought that he would have died of syphilis or something extravagant, or that he had died in prison.

Sadly, this was not the case.

"In 1801 Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the arrest of the anonymous author of Justine and Juliette. Sade was arrested at his publisher's office and imprisoned without trial; first in the Sainte-Pélagie prison and, following allegations that he had tried to seduce young fellow prisoners there, in the harsh fortress of Bicêtre.

After intervention by his family, he was declared insane in 1803 and transferred once more to the asylum at Charenton. ...In 1809 new police orders put Sade into solitary confinement and deprived him of pens and paper, though Coulmier succeeded in ameliorating this harsh treatment." He died in 1814 in Charenton.

On an interesting side note, "He had left instructions in his will forbidding that his body be opened upon any pretext whatsoever, and that it remain untouched for 48 hours in the chamber in which he died, and then placed in a coffin and buried on his property located in Malmaison near Épernon. His skull was later removed from the grave for phrenological examination. His son had all his remaining unpublished manuscripts burned, including the immense multi-volume work Les Journées de Florbelle."

You know what helps make crazy people better? Leaving them all alone with their thoughts and no way to let them out! Hurrah! I'm surprised they didn't come back to find that he had scratched words into his skin with his own nails or something. I've come close to that under nowhere near as desperate circumstances.

So, then our conversation turned to Masoch. Neither of us knew how he had died, so we looked it up.



"In his late fifties, his mental health began to deteriorate, and he spent the last years of his life under psychiatric care. According to official reports, he died in Lindheim, Germany in 1895. It is also claimed that he died in an asylum in Mannheim in 1905."

So...either he was crazy or he was crazy and died in an asylum.

Both of us found it very tragic and disturbing that the 'creators' or 'fathers' of sadism and masochism...both died in asylums. Sigh.

On a more amusing side note, we found it rather amusing that they could never have met and theoretically buggered each other. And that they wouldn't have. Even if they could have.

Jesses and falcon's hood.

Something more original than most of the bondage I post here, from RivkaZ. Falconry bondage! I'm really quite in awe of this art, I wish I had thought to do this.

 The character is wearing a hawk hood, which is meant to keep falcons and hawks calm, since without the visual stress, they tend not to freak out at anything.

He's also wearing jesses, which are leather straps that are used to tether a bird, so the falconer can keep control of it while it's attached to his glove. He's also wearing jesses on his wrists, since he has more limbs than a bird would have. Very pretty work though, I'm quite impressed. I'm always happy to see original and creative bondage.

sad eyes

Most adorable expression ever. Every submissive should be well versed in the puppy eyes. Even if they're well behaved, everyone makes mistakes and nothing melts my heart like the sad, sad eyes of a submissive who thinks they've disappointed.

Great pervertible nipple clamp, though I don't even want to think how hard that can clamp.

Wonderful photo from male submission art.

elegant suspension

A stunning suspension photo from Don Sir. I love the form she makes, how elegant she seems and how peaceful her expression is. Another example of freedom through bondage.

waiting with wine

This is some interesting fetish art from By the Hand. The art is kind of old fashioned, it reminds of illustrations in old books. Except for the bright colors, but I can ignore that.

human statue

More beautiful human art. This time with 50% more muscle! Rawr.

A lovely from Andrei.

Pet with a bow

A cute little pet brings her master the newspaper. I like the bow in her hair, it reminds me of something dog owners do with their frou-frou little toy dogs.

Like this!

This is the kind of pet she would be. Mostly useless, but pretty cute.

Photo from Raven's Kink.

clamped, gagged and waiting

A man is gagged, has clamps on his nipples and is tied to a stool with rope. I like his expression. I have to wonder what it is that he's seeing. Perhaps his top pulled out a new and frightening-looking toy?

Pencil art from BDSM romance.

unwilling to submit

A photo from Ethan 5. This one interests me. It has a nude, cuffed woman kneeling on a hard stone floor, but her face does not match the submissive pose. She looks almost calculating, like she's just waiting for whoever has bound her to slip up and then she'll break free and take control.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into her facial expression.

Women's liberation

Though I believe in equal rights for women, this is still very sexy to me. Because I come from the BDSM perspective and not from the perspective of this being a non-consensual enslavement of one gender or the other, it is quite lovely. A partially nude woman in jeans cleaning the boots of a man in a nazi uniform while he smokes? Rawr. This would be a great scene.

Especially since the sexy little blond looks a lot like my wife, haha.

bloodied

I'm thinking the bloody boy is dead, but this would be a wonderful medical play scene. The boy laying still after his sadist bloodies him up and wipes it off on his chest. The details in this picture make it interesting. The wrinkles over the joints in the fingers, the hair poking out from under his sleeve and the few bits of hair that are escaping from the sadist's ponytail. Great art.

Art by Hildico.

stepping on his boy

I love this. The top is wearing only boots, a leather jacket and a cap. He has his boy's leash in one hand and something to strike him with in the other. He's stepping on his boy's head while pulling up on the leash.

His boy, on the other hand, has wrist cuffs attached to his ankle cuffs, kneeling, naked except for his collar and cuffs. Great image. Clear dominance and submission. Beautiful.

tattoos and rope

A lovely tattooed model shows off some interesting rope work. The thigh ropes are the most interesting to me. I'm curious about how they were done. Not sure about the safety of the rope to neck/shoulder cuff, but it's interesting anyways.

rope art fashion

Lovely fetish fashions from Kybari.

brown horse mask

Another gorgeous work of art from Bob Basset.

softly bound

I cannot find a website for applephoto, but that's where this is from. Lovely lighting on the skin.

worship

Submissive at the feet of a dominant by Frog. I'm not sure if the top is male or female, but it's beautiful either way.

guard dog

A puppy boy from male submission art. He looks like he might bite the ankles of anyone who threatens his top.
