Polished

Do you know what I love best about having my boy clean and polish my boots?

For the next week or so, however long the shine lasts, every time I look down at my boots, or put them on, or take them off, I think about him. I get this wonderful rise of emotions. Pride at having such a practical and considerate boy. Lust, remembering him rubbing the polish into my boots with his fingers, being able to feel it through the leather and the fun that ensued. And of course love, for someone so invaluable who deems me worthy to be their dominant.

There is nothing more wonderful than having someone you admire and respect go down on their knees and polish your boots for you.

This is a picture of my boots from three years ago. Unfortunately they have gone to boot heaven now, but they served me well.

Did I mention I got new boots?

Did I mention that we've been playing with boots a lot lately?

Heh, there might be a lot more posts about boots for awhile. Hope no one minds!

Worshipful

He looks so happy cuddled up to her cock. Gotta love that expression. And I like that he doesn't look afraid, that he isn't a young twink and that he seems completely at peace. A lot of people find submission to put them in an almost meditative place. I wish there was more of that.

She has a very nice body, and though she might be a model, she's also very human, which I can't always say about bdsm models. She has circles under her eyes, her hair is a bit wild, she's looking down at the camera with an expression somewhere in between a smile and a glare.

Above all, I love that they're both naked (as far as we can tell). No fetwear on either of them (I don't count strap-ons as fetwear, that's like calling a penis fetwear). When I play, generally I wear nothing or I wear pants and boots, depending on the scene. I've never understood the appeal of corsets if there is going to be actual play. Yes, they're beautiful, yes I really appreciate seeing people in them, but playing with a bottom who's wearing one is like playing with half the bottom, since hitting them over their corset is not going to happen. And being a top wearing a corset... bad idea! Less mobility, not very comfortable. You know all the advice we were given as kids about dressing for field trips? Get a good sleep, eat a good breakfast and dress comfortably? Those all apply to play, especially the last one.

Great photo from Strap on Slaves.

First try

A bound and gagged man laying on a couch. I like the way this was taken, it makes it look like he's sitting up when I'm pretty sure he's been thrown on his side. Not too fond of the bondage in this picture, but I like cloth gags and this does seem more real somehow, due to the bondage not being spectacular. His partner decided to try it out on a willing subject, maybe.

monoglove

Monogloves need to be more prevalent in art. They're pretty cool looking and a really good bondage idea. I love the style of this artist, they remind me of a friend's paintings and it immediately makes me think of her. She was a kinky person, so it's fitting.

Those are some awesome tattoo ideas too. Yum.

Back to back

Two damsels in distress, tied back to back with some lovely red rope and matching red tape. At least their abductor(s) are good at color coordination!

A lovely shot from Ettone.

Going to the pound is always sad. I always want to take them all home with me.

Heh, the top photo is like... a high class pet breeder. The bottom is a sketchy place in some basement where most of the pets were abducted. 

Bound God

Some porn from popular culture! This is a screenshot of Thor from Marvel's Thor and Loki - Blood Brothers. Such nice bondage, some typical Marvel muscle, long hair and a lot of strength and power in such a submissive pose. I'm not actually very fond of Marvel's version of the gods, but this image was worth keeping.

a grip on her bit

A delightful picture from JimmyC.

It's one of those weeks for me, so no clever comments. Again. Just enjoy.

Cropping

A quick photo for the blog before dinner. Have a pretty from i Honor Her.

Is he trying to cover his butt to protect it or is he spreading his cheeks to give her access to what she wants?

Humiliation or Humility

Humility; the quality of being honest and respectful.
Humiliation; the abasement of pride; being reduced to a state of lowliness.

I can see where the root is the same. But being humble and being humiliated are two entirely different things.

Having humility, in my mind, is being aware of who you are and the possibilities around you. You don't know what sort of experiences and knowledge can be offered by everyone around you, therefore you are humble and respectful of those around you. You are respectful of yourself, the people and things around you and you act with care.

Humiliation, that's something entirely different.

I'm not sure why people feel the need to be humiliated. So many people describe it in an erotic way and I just don't get it. Why is wearing women's underwear humiliating to men? Why is licking someone's feet or boots humiliating? Why is getting fucked humiliating?

If you've consented to whatever humiliating event is happening, how is it humiliation? Is licking your Mistress's feet after begging her to be able to do so humiliating? Is it really making you less prideful? Is it humiliating to be urinated on by your Master after you expressed an interest in trying watersports? Does it make you feel low?

I like licking my boy's toes and sucking them. But it doesn't make me feel low. It makes me happy. It makes me happy because he squirms and giggles and he enjoys it. I love having him suck my toes too, so I know how good it feels and I want him to experience it too.

Watersports are another thing I don't consider humiliating. Your top is marking you as theirs. What could possibly be humiliating about that? That's something to take pride in, if anything. Same with so many 'humiliating' activities.

There is an excitement to consensual non-consent and I understand the importance of role play, but it still wouldn't be something I would ever consider humiliating.

Perhaps humiliation play is a better term for it.

Maybe I'm just wordy today.

Pedicure

And this is D/s. Isn't it sweet? Look at the smile on his face.

Boys, this is the way to convince your vanilla partner to dominate you. Most vanilla people don't realize that D/s can be something as simple as a pedicure, being served dinner, having their taxes done, their hair brushed, getting a massage.

I think service oriented D/s is the best kind.

He's tied up

This is the best 'he's tied up at the moment' jokes I've ever seen. Most of them just leave me meh, but this one... hahah. Awesome.

Ride

It would be fun to tell a pony something like this... and then just ride around on their back instead of fucking them the way a lot of them would want you to. :) Maybe that's just the sadist in me.

Wonderful pony, great gear and the suggestion of a happier times to come.

From the wonderful Audrey Dutroux.

A simple white rope leash and a black blindfold.

For once, I really don't mind the shaved look. Normally I much prefer hair, but she's got a really lovely shape and she looks cute shaved.

From Luci Ferase.

It seems I have to write either something insightful or 'oo, pretty' for each post.

This will be another 'oo, pretty'.

I like the bicep cuffs. That'd look really sexy on my boy.

Scarring

Puckered white scars on a lovely back. I know that some people find their scars to be a source of torment. They find them ugly and think of them as a hideous mistake marring their skin. I think skin is sexier with a scar or ten. They're so much more sensitive too. Licking or biting a scar tends to get a much more interesting reaction than just biting skin.

Delightfully bound

Hello everyone.

Please enjoy some Hikari Kesho. I know I do.

Toybox

I've always wanted a toybox big enough to fit all my toys. And we finally got a chest! This could be fun. :D

Cute spanked butt and... really, that's such a lovely toybox, as well as a lovely toy inside. :)

I think we have that dildo. o.O

Not sure if I've posted this one before, but it's worth posting again. Beautiful art, isn't it?

From Peter Stanton.

Clothespins

I like the differently colored clothespins and their placement. I wonder if they feel different, being plastic and wood. Also, mm, a deliciously gloved hand tilting her head upwards for a kiss.

Nice pose. And I like the detail in the hands.

A couple

Today, I stumbled upon Daddy's Dirty Blonde.

Haaaa...

Seriously, look through their pictures. This scarification turns out beautifully and she wears it very well. Her daddy doesn't appear in many photos, but the fact that they took a photo of him disinfecting, wearing gloves and holding her so gently makes me so happy.

They have pictures of their studio, which is not only gorgeous, but obviously set up for frequent and imaginative play. Not only this, but all the pictures are really artistic and absolutely stunning.  They have some great bondage too...

LOOK AT THIS AND DROOL.

Not only is the photo beautiful, soft skin, nipple piercings, purple rope... but the bondage is asymmetrical! Does anyone remember me fetishizing asymmetrical bondage earlier? It's been awhile! I don't find this sort of asymmetry very often.

Also, she's adorable and has a strap on. :)

This blog makes me happy. Everyone should be happy and read blogs about sweet and creative bdsm couples in love.

:)

Point of view

Alright, ignoring the fact that I got this image at Real Dominant Women... who is in charge in this photo?

I have enjoyed straight razor shaving very much. I have topped from either side of it. I have shaved my boy this way and I delight in the power and control I have with a razor at his throat. It's very sexy and a powerful feeling, knowing how easy it would be to slit his throat. Not to mention how good the razor feels, it's a wonderful sensation play.

I have also topped in the way that I have my boy shave me. I relax in the tub, read a book, soak under a towel, get all lathered up and shaved. It feels spectacular and it's his service to me. He doesn't have the control or power because he's not in that mindset and neither am I. I have the power because he is doing me this service, keeping his dominant relaxed and keeping his appearance sharp.

This is why I enjoy this photo, to be honest. Not only because I have a hard on for straight razor shaving, but also because this can be seen in either light, depending on the viewer.

Submission

So, before I start this, let me just say, I like words. I love words. I love etymology and learning about how certain words are connected and why that is and what words have meant in the past. Have some of my musings.

According to Wikipedia;

Submission is the acknowledgement of the legitimacy of the power of one's superior or superiors.

I find the definition from Wikipedia interesting. Acknowledgement of the legitimacy of the power of one's superior. Accepting someone's power as valid. I actually like this definition a lot, mostly because of my experiences with my boy. Most doms assume that because they are dominants and he is a submissive, that automatically makes them dominant to him.  Even if there is no discussion of play, they assume that he, being submissive, is submissive to everyone who considers themselves a D-type.

Just because I hold all the power in the world over my own submissive, doesn't mean I have any effect on any other sub. Just because your sub fawns over you at the drop of a hat, doesn't mean they're submissive to anyone who casually introduces themselves as a dominant. That would make the relationship a bit cheap, don't you think? If they'll drop to their knees for anyone, it isn't special when they do it for you!

My boy, for all that he is a submissive, isn't always submissive. He is a take-charge sort of person and he gets things done. If that means he has to bull his way through the plans of me or our dominant or top friends, he has no problem doing so. He likes to organize, which often makes him the one in charge.

Yes, he is mine. However, that doesn't mean that he isn't a person of his own with his own plans and ideas for everyday necessities. If my wanting him to do something interferes with his need to butler, I'll usually wait until he's through. His butlering (yes, this is my favorite new word) and organizing is part of his submission to me. He makes my life easier. He does my taxes, makes appointments for me, pays all the bills and basically does all the running around. Without his personality and drive to do what needs doing, I wouldn't have the wonderful butler that I do. 

I often relinquish the front seat of the car to him, due to his carsickness. That could easily be considered submitting, since a lot of protocols would demand he sit in the back. As a concerned spouse, I wouldn't subject him to sitting in the back where he'll feel ill. However, as a dominant, should I submit to his needs? Of course I should. Even if we are in a power exchange where I have the power, that doesn't mean I should always use the power to please myself. Pleasing and caring for your submissive is incredibly important and any dominant who uses submission to tend to their own needs and ignore the needs of their submissives is an abuser. There has to be a balance in every relationship. Everyone has needs that need meeting, even if they're as simple as 'this makes my tummy hurt, can we change this?'

Is my power over him legitimate? Yes and no. Really, I'd say that I don't deserve to have him submit. I'd say that I have to earn it as much as anyone would have to earn respect and acknowledgement. I am not a particularly dominant person. I have my days and we have our scenes where he wouldn't dare question who is in charge, but that doesn't mean I am always dominant to him. Because he chooses to acknowledge my power over him, that makes my dominance legitimate.

A dominant without a willing submissive is a pianist without a piano. Sure, you might have all this skill and knowledge, but without someone to acknowledge it and allow you to put it into practice... you're just a person.

Rope bondage, candle wax, nipple piercings and a very colorful looking gag. I like the wax dripping onto the rope and covering her nipple rings. :)

I love this photo. Both boys are gorgeous, the set is amazing and their expressions are fantastic. The gentle hand on his back, his face in the mirror, the skin between the stockings and the garter belt...

A beautiful painting of handcuffs and chaps. Artists like Mark Adams make me jealous.

Solly

More art from me... heh. TF2 won't leave me alone. Must... draw... more! Sorry about the photo of arts, I will resubmit when I have a scanner again.

The best part about this picture is that if I show it to my boy, he'll start singing 'Solly's butt bomb' to the tune of Winter Wrap-up from My little Pony, Friendship is Magic.

...I have the best boy in the world.

nipple twisting

I love this picture. The top has a bit of a goofy grin going on and the expression the bottom has... wonderful. Grabbing a handful of skin (though I prefer my boy's balls) and twisting like that makes me happy.

I guess I'm just an old fashioned sadist at heart. :)

dark wax

Lovely boy. I wonder what implement she has on the table there? A crop?

Frog tie

I love this picture, but it has no label in my files! Does anyone know who made this? Did they make any more?! 'cause... I'd be all over that. This is hilarious.

She looks so happy all tied up. :)

Dear Mr S Leather,

You give me a boner every time I look at your pictures.
