Farscape: A Leader In Pseudo-Bondage Poses

Farscape the TV series is long gone, but I wish SOMEBODY would follow SOME of the trails it blazedImage source: an episode.
Normally, if you are looking at a woman kneeling with her head pressed to the ground, her kneels spread wide apart, butt hiked into the air, wrists tied behind her back, gagged with a ball-looking thing, she's naked and you're looking at bondage porn. ( See the very last image on my post about Jakki Degg to see excatly what I'm talking about.)

But this scene from "Farscape" in which alien prostitute Chyanna (played by Gigi Edgerly) is captured by someone for some reason or other is, um, not porn. Who cares what the rationale for its existence is? The point is the pseudo-bondage pose, however it's arrived at.

Farscape has done this sort of thing before with Claudia Black in the mother of all beam shots (except that she's clothed).

The idea of spicing up bondage imagery with poses copied from commercial bondage porn except the women are clothed is brilliant, and so far as I know, completely unfollowed-up-on by other series. What is everyone waiting for? Farscape has blazed a glorious trail, why does no one follow?

Ghosts of Abu Ghraib and Women in Prison Movies

... processing ...

If you're wondering why all the sudden interest in women in prison films, I have a theory for ya.

The last eight years of the Bush Administration in particular and modern conservatism in general have been disasters for America's sense of itself as a decent society. We see the images from Abu Ghraib and we hear stories of much darker stuff going on in places like Bhagram and the CIA's secret prisons in Europe, and we wonder who the hell we are.

And then we hear grim statistics like the fact that the US has more people in jail per capita than any other country in the world, and we wonder how so many of us became the prisoners of the rest of us.

Fiction, whether books, TV or movies, serves the same function as play does for children, for adult minds. It allows us to safely process stuff we don't necessarily feel up to processing directly and consciously. As fiction, we can handle even the darkest stuff, especially if it has been transformed in some way so we aren't forced to directly confront the fact that we are dealing with stuff like Abu Ghraib.

Voila! Women in prison films! Suddenly, filmmakers want to make them and networks want to buy them. They are safely removed from the horrors of Abu Ghraib, they are sexy so they have been transformed, and yet they let us explore themes like imprisonment and cruelty and so forth in a safe manner. Like a child learning to control her body by pouring liquids from one container to another -- a safe and easy substitute for, say, making boiling hot coffee as an adult might -- so we watch women in prison movies and learn.

When Bondage Gets Weird...

Who knew that practicing sexual bondage with Weird Al Yankovic would be so painful -- for both parties by the look of things?

OK, they're not really in pain, they're just regular people having sex and not posing for the camera like the pros do. These people are actually working on having orgasms for themselves rather than trying to look a certain way so the viewer will. Another reason to like amateur stuff.

Post Prudo-Feminist Bondage

Dirty, dirty Lennon.

Here's John Lennon's granddaughter, Dirty Lennon, emgaging in what is fast becoming a ritual for former prudo-feminists -- the nude bondage photoshoot.

The nude bondage photoshoot is considered a way for former prudo-feminists to burn their bridges back to prudo-feminism by doing something that will surely raise a collective "EEEEEEW" of horror and disgust when discovered.

Typically, former prudo-feminists are not very good at bondage modelling. They just don't get into the spirit of things very easily, as is the case here. Dirty's whole pose says, "OK, I'm naked, I'm cuffed and shackled to this chair, take my picture already and let's get this over with."

However, when prudo-feminists go bad they can become wonderful bondage models, as they give vent to their every stifled sexually submissive impulse, displaying like baboons in heat (which is not far from the truth of things, as straight prudo-feminists tend not to get laid a lot) while in their chains, ropes, cuffs, gags, etc.

Dirty Lennon is clearly not one of these, staring at the camera with a long face, thinking sadly, "This is going to get me mentioned in a women's studies monograph on failed feminists, I just know it!"

However, look at Dirty Lennon's body. That curvaceous hip, that smooth, pale skin, that sleek torso ... here is a body that is just made for sex. It may be that Dirty Lennon's body is more informed about her desires than her mind is, and that she will soon turn into the dirty, dirty, dirty sex animal she would like to be on occasion.

Great tanned hottie in bondage

Mmmmm, hottie plus!

Look at those huge natural breasts, that beautifully tanned, sleek skin, the sexy pose with the woman seeming to fight the leather straps that restrain her, but somehow managing to do so in a way that only makes her look sexier. Wouldn't you love to have her ... even though she's ever so anonymous ... on YOUR bed craving someone to make her really feel those bonds as her body is forced relentlessly to orgasm.

And let me tell you, she's not a butterface.

Here's the reason I put the dot there:

...She's a granny face!!

And the sad thing is, I'd STILL do her. Mmmm, grandMILFy goodness ... they say the torso is the last to go ... and they're right.

The "Just Do Me!" Pose

What a great smile!

The great thing about amateur bondage photos is that the models ARE amateurs -- and they have not learned the standard poses and expressions that pro models wear almost like all that clothing they're not wearing.

Here we have an amateur model in a very nice pose with a great smile. I'm pretty sure she likes the photographer a lot. If the pose had a name it would be, "OK, now you've got me all tied up, stop fiddling with those ropes and just do me!"

Even the most sophisticated model in the raunchiest pose can't match that kind of natural, wholesome lust.

I've heard of mail-order brides, but ...

...this is just silly!
