The Expression Of A Wish I Never Knew I Made


Now this is walkin’ it doggie style! Image from Maison Plasir, a hentai.


I find hentai to be vaguely miraculous. It‘s as if they were the expression of a wish I never knew I had made. Hentai take my favorite form of sexuality -- sexual bondage -- and creates imagery of it, not just adequately, but really, really well -- and with gusto!

Considering the timid, sloppily done, unimaginative, just plain crappy stuff that constitutes US toons, hentai are kinda miraculous. For example, the image above, a scene from .Maison Plasir,shows a couple who are into sexual bondage having some fun. He’s got her wrists tied to her ankles, and her ankles tied to a broom used as a spreader bar. The scene starts in the bedroom, with him tying her up as shown and taking her doggie style, then it proceeds through the house as he “walks” her doggie style, with Tab A inserted in Slot B the whole time, until they reach the back porch.

There she sort of collapses onto the porch while he hangs onto the doorway and fucks her brains out as they both enjoy the beautiful afternoon.

In tone, it’s very like the happy ending scene in Secretary where James Spader fucks new wife Maggie Gyllenhaal as she‘s tied to a tree in THEIR back yard.


The happy newlyweds frolic in their back yard in “Secretary” also enjoying a beautiful afternoon.


Many hentai are just brain-dead porn like their US vanilla porn counterparts (sadly, like Part 2 of Maison Plaisir), but sometimes, hentai can be interesting, fun and sexy all at the same time … which is vaguely miraculous.

Best Use of "Mmph!" In A XXX Film, EVAH!


One of the most humiliating bondage positions ever. Talk about "Assume the position!"


Way back in 1983, when feminists were getting their back hair up about maledom/femsub bondage imagery, there were some XXX films that pushed the envelope in that regard, and Smoker is definitely one of them.

It was also quite funny at times.

Smoker was a XXX spy spoof about a McGuffinesque series of bomb parts disguised as vibrators that would be used in a bomb designed to blow up the world.

A box of these devices accidentally gets sent to a sex shop and sold to various hotties, as often occurs in XXX land. One of the hotties is Angie (played by Troye Lane, apparently her only movie role ever according to IMDB. I personally don't buy it ... this face looks familiar. (See below.)


"Have you seen me? Really, if anyone recognizes this actress, please post a response.


Angie's innocent purchase leads her to a whirlwind of spy intrigue when spies get the idea that she has accidentally purchased one of the bomb parts. They kidnap her, tie her up and attempt to get her to divulge the vibrator's location by having sex with her while she's tied up, as any group of villainous spies would.

Unfortunately, Angie's vibrator has been stolen by a voyeur and she doesn't know where it is. Of course, the spies just think Angie's protestations of innocence mean she's a really tough nut to crack, so it's lots more bondage and sex for her.

This sets up our great use of "Mmph!" The head of the spy ring is Lady Suque, ably played by Sharon Mitchell. She's assisted by two goons, Freddy played by Ron Jeremy, and "Henchman" played by Eric Edwards.

At one point, Freddy and Henchman have Angie tied up as seen above. Freddy is getting head from Angie and Henchman is taking Angie doggy style, both at the same time. Angie's just taking it, about all she can do, bound as she is, while Lady Suque ... soliloquizes. Angie's predicament is much more clearly illustrate here. Note the way Lady Suque joins in dominating Angie by controlling the ropes around her chest.

Lady Suque's speech is your classic villainous self-justification bullshit soliloquizing:

Lady Suque: In the end it is good not to care at all. But I can't help it, I get caught up in caring.

Henchman: What do you care about, boss?

Lady Suque: I care about power. I want my power to run though myself alone. I can't wield my power effectively through others. It's limited to me, my own control over my own actions. I find myself powerless. I can hate as much as I want, or want something as much as I like, but all this humanity gets in the way. You know, I actually feel completely and effectively trapped.

Angie: Mmmph!

Lady Suque: Poor dear. You feel the same way, too, don't you??

It's hard to believe that porn films used to have writing like this. This is one genre that has not improved over time. US porn went on a reckless race to the bottom and stayed there. What a shame.

-------------------
A word of caution. According to IMDB trivia, the most current version of this film has all the sexual bondage imagery excised. That means the particular scene I've cited and a subsequent one of Lady Suque in four point suspension, ballgagged and molested with a bomb part/vibrator, are both gone. The censors may have left in the scene of Angie lying naked on a cot, one foot cuffed to the wall, and one of the Sloan twins tied arms over head with her entire head wrapped in a bandage. This version has a 66-minute run time, I would advise against buying it.

In the interests of full disclosure, the version I have of "Smoker" is censored, too.
It has had all the explicit hardcore imagery removed -- there are no genitals "in action" to be seen in the version I watched. I am sure there must have been an uncensored version released on VHS at one point, but try finding it nowadays. This is a film that the censors just can't keep their grubby little paws off of. In short, a good film.

Lonely Girl


A highly recommended way to scare off life insurance salesmen.


The bondagette lies on the floor, naked, self-bound and sucking on a dildo. Is there no man around to provide her with the Real Thing™ to suck on?

Such a picture fills me with a strange mixture of lust, empathy and sadness. I'm not sure that's what the photographer was aiming for, but still ... it's kinda nice.

USA Network's "In Plain Sight" Provides Mary McCormack Doing Some Chained, Sweaty Writhing

"Anybody have some deoderant?"

Image source: vidcap from "Stan By Me" episode of USA Network series "Stan By Me."

If you like your damsels hot, sweaty, chained and writhing, then you owe it to yourself to catch this week's episode ("Stan by Me") of the USA Network TV series, In Plain Sight.

In it, US Marshall Mary Shannon (played by Mary McCormack) is caught by the bad guys early on in the episode (chloroform scene) and chained up in their basement for most of the rest of the show. She's chained arms overhead, but sitting in a chair instead of standing. Being a modern damsel she doesn't just sit and wait for rescue: whenever the villains leave her alone in the basement, which is a lot, she's struggling to escape her chains, which involves a lot of writhing and makes her very sweaty.

The scenes are well lit, there are a lot of them, and there's also some dominance/submission elements as the bad guys come in to terrify and interrogate her.

The villains made two mistakes: they did not remove her clothing and they did not gag her. But by the standards of most network TV scenes, this is excellent. I haven't seen this much bound writhing on a mainstream TV show in a long time. We're talking "Perils of Nyoka" here!

I have to believe that this is part of a general trend by cable netowrks to use their relaxed censorship standards to outdo the broadcast networks.

You CAN catch this show on TV this week. It re-airs on the USA Network On August 13 at 1 a.m. and on August 16 at 6 p.m.

Bad Girls Review - Some Say "No Soap" I Say "Soap"


A well-lit tape gag scene from "Bad Girls" -- of the ugliest gaurd in the place. Symptomatic, I'm afraid.


I started the "Women in Prison" section on my Bondagerotica.com site because of the startup of the US women in prison series Bad Girls so I thought I should review the British women in prison series Bad Girlsthat it's based on. And add some thoughts on how the US version can avoid fucking up like the Brits did. Because they did. I really do think the Americans will do better than the Brits did, if only because the US Bad Girls will be shown on a premium channel and hence nudity will be almost a requirement. Probably R-rated sex, too, because the HBO series is under a lot of pressue to push the envelope. Of course, I have some suggestions for exactly how they could do so. I'm doing a public service, really.

Red Sonja Goes To Hentai Land

Looks like somebody's about to get the whole tentacle experience ...
Image source: alternate cover of Red Sonja number 39, obtained from ComicVine.com

Issue number 39 of Red Sonja comics features three alternate covers. One of them looks like the image above. That's the one you'll want. Apparently, Red Sonja is about to go to hentai-land. There was a big fuss a few months go out in the blogosphere about a cover for Heroes for Hire that featured three shapely heroines chained to a post while tentacles arose among them.

I'm thinking the guy who did this cover realized how much free publicity Heroes for Hire got out of the controversy and aimed to do the same for Red Sonja. Good thinking, I say.

Remember to ask for the right cover. The other two covers are relatively uninteresting.

Dentistry of the Ancients


"Now, tell me where it feels very, very good."


Early dentistry as practiced in the middle East as shown in the historical XXX film Scheherezade was a far cry from what we know now as dentistry.

As is evident from the vidcap above, the patient was tied naked to the chair. Then the dentist, who was also naked, felt around the patient's mouth with his fingers until he found the sore tooth, generally by being bitten when he touched it.

Once the offending tooth had been located in this manner, the tool known as "Allah's Most Beneficent Tooth Snuffer Outer" was inserted in the victi... er, patient's mouth, and after half an hour or more of sweaty grappling and much screaming in agony and writhing against the ropes, the tooth and often much of the gum and a few non-sore teeth were removed.

This was, believe it or not, a huge advance over other forms of dentistry of the time, which tended to involve rocks and broken jaws.

It is not known why the dentists worked in the nude. Some historians have suggested that it is because it was fun.
