Hard-Edged Satire From the Onion, Sexy Bondage Video on Vimeo, Steel Restraints on Youtube

6:07 PM Simge

The Onion does some flip and fun humor, one of the few humor sources anywhere that can make me actually laugh out loud. This video did not make me laugh out loud, but I liked it MUCH better than Onion videos that made me laugh out loud, because it has a nasty, concealed undercurrent of anger about a social issue under its light, frothy exterior. It's like a Thomas Kinkaid landscape on the surface, with a pit of boiling acid underneath. That's what gives the humor its edge, the tension between the mundane story of a social media rockstar on the surface, and what's being said about how well people are compensated for their work underneath. I'm sure what fuels the pit of boiling acid is that the Onion writers feel the burn personally.

And to keep things bondage-y, here's a link to a nice Vimeo video full of sexy bondage images with a jazzy tune to carry it along, and look below for a Youtube video from Rapture Products that appears to be a straight up commercial for steel bondage restraints, which seems to be getting away with a lot in the area of "being too sexy for Youtube," though granted, there's no nudity.

The New Battle Line On Human Sexuality

The New Battle Line On Human Sexuality

1:53 AM Simge

"I hope you aren't confusing this with rational behavior!" Image source: WhippedAss.com.

I'd like to start by pointing out that I do not know Emily, executive editor of XOJane, and have not had anything to do with the XOJane website. Emily does not know me at all, and joins billions of other people in being “people who don't know that I exist.” And that's OK.

But I do feel that Emily and I are kindred spirits, mostly because of THIS column where she writes about how totally apolitical her vagina is with regard to its sexual tastes. She likes playing at being a submissive, she likes breast play, she likes rape play she likes being spit on, she likes being tied up, she luuurves breast play involving clothespins, ropes and slapping. (Though interestingly, sexual roleplay, such as Master/slave play, does nothing for her.)

Like me, Emily has thought about her sexual proclivities and found that they are not rational, in fact, they do not originate in a rational part of her mind (hence, her “vagina” has these tastes) and has decided it is pointless and irrational to hold one's sexual tastes to any politically-derived standard of behavior. (Of course, whatever one's sexual tastes, one is still compelled to treat other people in a rational and ethical manner, real life being different from sexual fantasies, but Emily clearly gets that.)

Emily has written that she gets a lot of crap from feminists over her public advocacy of her sexual tastes. I totally believe it. And thinking about that, I realized that that may be the essential dividing line between the sex-positive folks and the feminists and moral conservatives. The sex-positive folks understand that their sexual desires are irrational and that the only rational way to respond is to treat them as such and not try to make them conform to any rational framework -- to totally enjoy them while understanding that they are not something that you can program to behave for some value of "properly."

And that's the part that anti-sex feminists and moral conservatives just don't get. The reason both of them are united in opposing sexual freedom is that they both insist on forcing sexual tastes to fit into the external frameworks they want to impose on them. Feminists have an ideological frame about the proper relations between men and women that they want to fit sexual feelings into, and moral conservatives have a religious/cultural frame they want to fit sexual feelings into. (Note that this applies to Islamic conservatives as well as Christian conservatives.)

And with both groups, if your sexual feelings/sexual culture doesn't fit well into their framework, their solution is to force you to conceal/alter your sexuality so that it fits in their framework, and to fuck with you (the bad kind of fuck with) in various ways until you fit in their frame or die. Procrusteans, indeed!

It strikes me that this may be the new frontier in sexuality, the true place where the good guys will be battling the bad guys. The battle will be fought over this line: people who think it is OK to force sexuality into the confines of ideological/religious frameworks, versus those who don't. The basis of the frameworks may vary, but the mechanisms will be the same: laws, prison, shaming and shunning (and in the Third World, possibly beatings, torture and murder as well) for those whose sexual tastes do not fit the framework (and this is the important part) WHETHER OR NOT they are expressed in a safe, sane and consensual manner.

I particularly like this line of thought because it explains why both anti-sex feminists and moral conservatives are teeing off on BDSM fans. The frameworks are different, but in each case, the problem is, our tastes don't fit the framework, and anyone who openly expresses a taste for BDSM will find themselves in conflict with these types. And probably others, because strangely enough, most people just don't get that irrational sexuality should not be forced to express itself in a rational manner.

Ah, for a world populated with actual grown-ups, instead of what we have now.

Kesha Wears A Gorean Slave Girl Outfit: A Camisk

Kesha Wears A Gorean Slave Girl Outfit: A Camisk

A common Gorean slave market, the camisk. Cut a little higher on the waist than Kesha's camisk, but still, it's the same garment. Image source: Wikipedia.

Ah, fashion writers. They call anything with a black strap anywhere on it bondage gear, but they don't know an actual slavegirl garment when they're looking right at it. In this case, the singer Kesha is wearing a Gorean slave garment called a camisk at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards show. I've seen a lot of camisks looking very much like that on Second Life, typically cut a lot higher up on the leg, so high that the vagina is clearly visible. (In one of the books it's mentioned that in some Gorean communities, slavegirls are clothed in garments that reveal their vaginas at all times, to make their slavegirliness more evident ... the Gorean slavegirls and their fashion designers glommed on to that one fast).

It's really hilarious to see a celebrity like Kesha sporting a Gorean camisk and no one from the fashion community taking note of it. They LOVE to be scandalized, but they're too butt-ignorant to recognized a great opportunity for it. For shame!


Fashion fetish bondage is of course a thing. Here we have a model in heels, stockings, garters, silk tie bondage and a silk tie gag. The butt plug ... optional! Image source: Hogtied.com.

Steampunk Bondage Porn!

Steampunk Bondage Porn!

The Naked Maiden Powered Airship Drive, although noticeably less efficient and powerful than steam engines, nevertheless proved quite popular among many airship crews! Image source: Whipped Ass.com.

Steampunk, often associated with bewhiskered gents clad in khakis and wearing large brass goggles, often sporting brass weaponry with what appears to be plumbing lines on it, which emits death rays of various sorts, is not the natural and easy stretch for porn that, say, Slave Leia cosplay is. And yet, with its penchant for heavy iron chains, brass ornamentation and obscure, menacing devices, it might just have a lot of potential for bondage porn. A word to the wise!

Newest Reality TV Show: Hardcore Nude Wrestling/Midwifery

Newest Reality TV Show: Hardcore Nude Wrestling/Midwifery

"Hold still! That little sucker is slippery! I think I got a foot, though!" Image source: Ultimate Surrender.com.

As television producers keep looking farther and farther afield for their latest hit show has led us to a new frontier: naked lesbian wresting/midwifery. In each episode, a pregnant woman and her midwife wrestle naked, with the pregnant lesbian wrestler seeking to somehow alleviate the pain caused by childbirth and wrestling, and the wresting lesbia midwife seeking to extract the child safely.

"This series has all the drama you could possibly want, as the midwife struggles to bring the child to term," says series showrunner Lydia Pilkington-Danforth. "The agonized screams of a mother in a full nelson as she gives birth will have you on the edge of your seats. The hot lesbian action as the two naked women writhe in tandem will have you creaming your seats. And to top it all off, the wonderful, ethereal experience of childbirth, a new human being coming into the world before your very eyes!"

The series will air on Thursday nights at 10 pm on the Lifetime Network, always a leader in health and medical programming.

Plight of the Middle Class Conservative Voter

Plight of the Middle Class Conservative Voter

"Go ahead, Tea Party bitch, squirm and scream right into the Citizens United brand gag ... you know you love it!" Image source: Sex and Submission.

Middle class voters who vote for Republicans are a puzzle to me. While the Democrats are bought out by Wall Street, the Republicans pretty much ARE Wall Street, and if there is anything that has become very evident over the last few years, it's that Wall Street is putting the hurt on the middle class, big time.

Wall Street profits are up, they're keeping oceans of cash overseas (and out of the economy) for tax reasons (i.e., they don't want to pay their share) the one percent owns 65 percent of American's wealth and the economic recovery from the 2007 crash is generally described as "jobless." The numbers are so hugely obvious that voting Republican is essentially stealing from yourself and your children, as the only technique the Republicans can come up with for raising revenues is gutting Social Security and Medicaid, the two most effective programs for alleviating poverty we have.

But the wealthy conservatives dangle the specter of gays marrying and women having abortions in front of middle class conservatives, and damned if they don't vote their kids right off the island in every election!

I found the image above to be a powerful graphic representation of the plight of middle class conservatives, artfully detailing their situation. I'm sure it'll be on all the cable news networks soon!

New Cover For Hottitude of Servitude

New Cover For Hottitude of Servitude

2:26 AM Simge

NOW we're talking hottitude!

I recently updated some of the text in "The Hottitude of Servitude," as I had gotten some emails and comments from folks who found errors in the book. Although it was difficult to understand how a mighty writer such as I could make an error, but there it was. So I did a thorough proofreading of the book, fixed all the errors I could find, and re-published it. And while re-publishing it, I redid the front cover.

Whether or not it could really be called an error, I did not like it, it struck me as the typical editor's too-literal approach to graphic design. That is, I had taken a variety of images from various vidcaps and put them together for the cover, so you could say, "There's Slave Leia, there are the Slavegirls From Beyond Infinity, there is a hottie from Electric Blue #44, there's a slavegirl in a baggy tunic, etc."

The result was a jumbled mishmash of a cover, I've since decided, that does not really convey the beauty of slavegirls properly. Thinking about it, it reminds me all too much of the phenomenon of "art by committee" you get when a group of non-artists take control of the design of an artwork and build it by non-artistic standards.


Jumbled, I tells ya!

I could have avoided the jumbling problem by having just one or two images of a sexy slavegirl on the cover, but to my mind, that would have created a new problem, maybe giving readers the book is primarily about whomever is on the cover. So I decided to go with a simpler cover that expressed the theme of "hottie slave girls" using what I hope will be perceived as generic Second Life slavegirls.

In addition to giving the cover a more uncluttered look, the new cover also allows me to control the content in ways that I could not with vidcaps. Since having entirely naked slavegirls would limit the books salability on mainstream sites, I made sure that the slavegirls on the new cover had all their naughty bits covered up, but I was able to use Photoshop to make sure that their naughty bits were the ONLY thing covered up. It's better marketing, plus I hate censorship (what would really be wrong with drawings of nipples and vaginas?) so getting as close to violating the hell out of the spirit of censorship rules while sticking to the letter of such rules feels great to me. Call it a hobby!
