(Kneeling blond): “If somebody doesn’t fuck me soon, I’m taking my chains and going home!”

We asked these two ordinary vanilla couples to test Johnson & Johnson’s new Leather Balm for more than six weeks and tell us what they thought about it. After six weeks, they reported that … they wanted to test it a lot more.

Fatal Conflict and Sleeping Dogs Reviewed

Now THIS is slavegirl imagery!!!
The image above is from a mainstream science fiction film. No, really, I'm not kidding. It's not a castoff from some fetish site, it's from "Fatal Conflict," a science fiction film starring Kari Wuhrer and Leo Rossi. At one time, you could rent it in video stores like Blockbuster and watch it on premium non-porn cable channels like HBO and Cinemax. You'll recall from my piece on The Mass Gag Anomaly that it's one of three mainstream films and/or TV shows that have used gag imagery to visually define slavehood. The imagery in Fatal Conflict and Sleeping Dogs is perhaps the most powerful of any of the three.I review Fatal Conflict and Sleeping Dogs (both of which use the same clips) on Bondagerotica, paying special attention to the slavegirl imagery including any wonderfully attractive butt and breasts that might be in them (see above).

A Whole New Waldo

Sometimes, it's not finding Waldo that's fun, it's looking for him. I could play THIS kind of "Find Waldo" game for hours! Click on the pic for another, much LARGER pic than this blog will allow, where Waldo lurks ... somewhere.
I don't have a source for this artwork ... looks like a scan from a magazine ... but I'd LOVE to know, so I could publicize it and buy myself a copy if it's got more stuff like this!

The Mass Gagging Anomaly in Sword and Sandal Films

Coincidence ... or conspiracy? A scene from "Sleeping Dogs" or maybe it's "Fatal Conflict" -- it's hard to tell. (OK, it's "Fatal Conflict" ... we peeked.

In doing research for my sword and sandal movies article "What Should A Slavegirl Look Like" I've discovered an interesting anomaly. Gags are a useful prop to create images of slavegirls that powerfully establish their slavegirlhood. A woman who is gagged is a woman whose opinion no one cares to hear, especially on the topic of being gagged. But they aren't used on sword and sandal slavegirls as often as you might think.

Occasionally you will see a slavegirl gagged, often for a specific purpose (to silence her for this or that reason) but you never see gags used on groups of women to visually help establish their identity as slaves, that I know of.

And there have been mass gagging scenes in mainstream movies and TV shows that involved captives, but that's a different situation than scenes that involve slavegirls, because of course captivity is typically a temporary thing, whereas slavegirlhood is a permanent thing, hence the gags might get worn a LOT by the slavegirls.


A scene from "Alien Apocalypse." As you may note, some of the slavegirls are guys. Well, in this movie the slaves, male and female, are work slaves, because their owners are insectoid aliens. And the look is definitely dowdy. That's the way it goes.

In fact, the only place where I have ever seen groups of women identified as slaves wearing gags is in futuristic science fiction films and TV shows. Three of them (or four, depending on how you count) to be exact: a TV show called Cleopatra 2525, a SciFi original movie called "Alien Apocalypse" and the movies "Fatal Conflict" and "Sleeping Dogs" (Fatal Instinct reuses clips from Sleeping Dogs, hence I would tend to count them as one movie with a scene).


Gagged and/or blindfolded slavegirls do the 100-foot gambling den dash in the "Flying Lessons" episode of Cleopatra 2525.

I've racked my brain and I can't think of any scenes involving mass gaggings of women from and sword and sandal flick. It's a very strange anomaly for which I have no explanation. And I'm not at all sure a reasonable explanation exists. But anybody who knows of a mass gagging scene or three in a sword and sandal flick, thus destroying the anomalous nature of my discovery, please post a comment and let me know how very wrong I am.

Until then, the strange mystery of the Mass Gagging scene anomaly will remain strangely mysterious, and I'll be confidently awaiting my MacArthur Genius Grant for discovering it.

The Importance of Getting Hogties Wrong

No Kinkier Love

"Well, first you find a woman you love very, very much and then you tell all your friends and then they give you a toaster and the baby pops out of the toaster."

There is no greater love __ and no kinkier love -- than the love of a bound and gagged lesbian submissive for her also bound lesbian submissive big sister. Also, no geekier love.

_________________________________________________

Seriously, the soulful look on the face of the smaller woman as she looks up at the larger woman she's snuggled up against just knocks me out. I don't think it's acting ... typically bondage models aren't really good actresses ... and she'd have to be a really good actress to portray longing so well. The way she's cuddled up between the other model's legs is also quite intimate, and the way the sitting model thrists her breasts out at the woman with her nead resting on her chest is also very suggestive. (Though it's obvious her breasts are outthrust because her arms are bound behind her back.)

The photo's not just raunchy, it's strangely intimate, and also strangely geeky. It has an unnaturally posed feel to it because the models are bound in ways that are unlikely to work out well in terms of giving and receiving sexual satisfaction. At the same time the downcast eyes and turned-aside head of the sitting model and the longing, upcast eyes of the kneeling model create a feeling of emotional intimacy and intensity that is strangely at odds with the fetishistic gear and posing.

"Fascinating," as Mr. Spock would say. I have no idea where this photo comes from, but whoever created it deserves a hearty "Bravo!" as do the models involved.

What kinkfest is this vidcap from?

What they're saying: "Mmmgh mmph." "Mmmgh." "Mmmmfh mmmfh mmgh."
I know what kinkfest this vidcap is from, I'll reveal the answer to those who don't know tomorrow, or anyone who does know the answer can post a response and get 200 Internet Cred points for knowing stuff like this.

Chain Gang Girls: What Hath We Wrought?

A female chain gang on the march. Looks a lot like a male chain gang on the march, from a distance. And, sadly, close up, too. Hot models rarely wind up on chain gangs, apparently. But hot prostitutes sometimes do.

Normally, holiday weekends are great weekends for picking up the odd mainstream bondage scene because all the cable stations do marathons, which means that movies and TV show episodes that don't normally air get shown because they happen to fit the marathon's theme.

But the marathons that ran this 4th of July just sucked from a mainstream bondage scene point of view. SciFi Channel did an original Twilight Zone marathon (hopeless). AMC was doing some kind of sucky song and dance marathon. Bondage stalwart Lifetime Movie Channel did a Christmas in July marathon and bondage stalwart Oxygen Channel did a bridezilla marathon.

Yes, suckity suck suck suck. Which is how I wound up taping a 6-hour block of real life Women Behind Bars shows on the Women's Entertainment channel. I don't ordinarily cover reality TV, but it was all there was.

Mostly this was a loss, too. Four hours of it was recounting how women did terrible things and went to jail for it. There was very little about how they survived in jail, even though they were pretty much all lifers or on death row, so they had plenty of surviving to do, and some had clearly DONE plenty of surviving, as their crimes had been committed in their 20s and they were WAAAAY past 20.

However, there WAS a 2-hour special called "Chain Gang Girls" that had a lot of images of women chained together by the ankles (duh!). It seems that in Arizona, sheriff and hateful little toad Joe Arpaio has been the first in the nation to create all-female chain gangs.

The show focused on the chaining up and the marching about of the chained women with an obsessiveness not seen in mainstream media since the Gor novels were shelved with the rest of the sword and sandal stuff. They were repeatedly shown chained up with loving descriptions of every aspect of the chains and the marching in chains, along with many, many humiliations and invasion of privacy that amounted to forced submission that are part of the program. (It should be pointed out, this is a voluntary program.)

The voiceover and the guards kept talking about the chain gang as a team-building and confidence-building enterprise, but the only thing I saw that the inmates were being taught was to do whatever the big lesbian guards said to do, without question or hesitation.

Unfortunately, the imagery itself was less than overwhelming because the women were wearing big, ugly work boots and they themselves were average looking at best. OK, there was one inmate who was good looking, and she was in for a six-month stay on a prostitution charge (surprise, surprise).


Work boots. All wrong. Would it have killed them to make the inmates wear fuck-me pumps? Or go barefoot? Well, it probably would have maimed them, come to think of it, considering they do manual labor six hours a day in 110-degree Arizona heat.

Which brings us to the point of today's post. The woman's prostitution rap was not the only minor, no-victims charge that was represented on the chain gang, in fact, it was the norm. Most of the women there were there for minor drug raps, a couple for minor theft raps, no sentences that were mentioned (and they always mentioned the crime and sentence when they focused on an inmate) were over six months long.

What the FUCK are we doing putting women on chain gangs for shit like this? Why are they in jail at all? The druggies need rehab and most of the thieves were obviously dirt poor. The prostitute -- what the hell did SHE do that was so wrong? Hell, anyone who looks at naked pictures of women on the Web are in NO position to criticize her morally, but I know there are a lot of guys who suck up porn like so many lizards who'd have no problem calling her a whore and saying she gets what she deserves.

Well, if that's so, there's a lot of guys out there who AREN'T getting what they deserve, and if they DID get what they deserve, they'd change their tune about the prostitute in short order.

What the fuck kind of nation are we, that we did shit like this, for so little reason? Are we a nation of assholes or what? I know lawnorder politics is popular, but hell, do we HAVE to be retarded about how we handle lawbreakers? Druggies are sometimes pathetic people who have no control over their lives, but what the hell good does locking them up and then releasing them, untreated, do for them? Or us? They're just going to go back to their old ways.

The way we handle issues like drug addiction, victimless crimes and poverty are just freaking retarded. We have the highest number of people incarcerated per capita in the freaking WORLD. It's not because we have more criminals. It's because we're handling our criminal justice system like it's a freaking magic wand that will cure every social ill.

We as a nation really have to stop being retarded about this, and so many other things.
