Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009” in Utrecht – Part II

See Part I

Two moments.

First. It took me two years to return to this event and finally sort and process the photos I made there. (There will be one more part). And today (what a coincidence!) I’ve been to the Summer Darkness festival again.

Second. It too me five years to figure out why my vivid photos look so flat and lifeless on the website. And the reason is … oh…. this is soooo embarrassing… wrong colour space!

Now I have to either reprocess all the published photos again, or leave them as they are. I will probably redo only the posts I was going to rewrite/reformat anyway. In this set there are pictures in both sRGB and AdobeRGB spaces.

Black and white sensual stories. Andy Julia photography

Why can’t I just repost a photo or a drawing I stumbled upon on tumblr, facebook, *chan or various forums and shut up? Why am I so curious that I begin to search the source, who the author is, what else he/she does? Why do I spent my time and energy to compose these messages which nobody reads, cares of or gives me money for? Yeah, demotivated again…

OK, some useless details you do not want to know anyway. The author is Andy Julia, a freelance photographer from Paris. Books, exhibitions, on-line and off-line galleries… All that stuff you can find on his website Andy Julia Photography, isn’t it what it was created for?

And the reason why I bothered with typing is that these photos “work“. I would like to be in these clothes, these situations, “to touch and feel”. These moody photos tell stories and … motivate my imagination

What are you wearing? Demotivators of the day

Lady Arrakis' fetish and bondage artSimplicity does not always work like it should. There is nothing simpler than two naked bodies making sex with each other. But we want to spice things up, we need details, attributes, special materials, certain colours, icings to spawn, keep or increase the excitement.

Not bare skin, but shiny latex or nylon. Not just a baggage strap with a ratchet, but neat rows of glossy rope. Not masturbation with your lead hand, but desperate convulsive jerks of self-trussed, self-bound, self-plugged and self-gagged own body. Not an old egg-shaped vibrator, but a multichannel oscilloscope-like device, wires, USB cables, connectors, gel-pads, tri-phase electrostimulation and specially crafted musical files with hands free orgasm symphonies.

No, we are not looking for easy ways… And all that hassle is just for an internal and external erection…

The future of (self-)bondage-fetish-wear. Will it ever exist?

After three years since I posted this article, the subject suddenly sprang to life again. See this discussion in the forum: “Self-Bondage shop“. Have your own ideas or secret wishes? Dump them in the forum or here in the comments.

Technology and progress never stop. What was science fiction or fairy tales (many) years ago has become an integral part of our normal life. Even 15 years ago I could not even dream of a home computer with 4TB of storage space (95% full) and 12GB of real memory. (BTW, I need to vacuum clean it…).

What do we have in (self-)bondage and fetish fiction? Self-locking leotards and suits with built-in magnetic locks and moving gags and plugs, Continue reading “The future of (self-)bondage-fetish-wear. Will it ever exist?”

My “Home alone self-bondage and fetish adventures” thread is back

My not-so-micro-blog is back. I have two weeks for myself, my work and my fetishes. Here I post almost in the real-time what I’m busy with, my thoughts, ideas, perversions, current self-bondage sessions, deep throat trainings, etc.

The beginning of the thread is here.
The beginning of the “new season” (if you read the thread earlier) is here.

And a couple of teasers:

deep throat self-bondage deep throat selfbondage single-glove shiny pantyhose deep throat selfbondage inescapable selfbondage session in latex inescapable self-bondage session in latex Forced deep throat gagging with a dildo and latex hood

Design flaw in latex hoods, masks and helmets. Any manufacturers around?

latex hoods masks gagsSimple experiment. Measure the distance right between under your chin and right under your nose. Let’s call this distance Scn1. In my case Scn1=7cm.

Now measure the diameter (Dg) of you favourite gag (or cock, if you have one close at hand ;-). The dildo in my mouth has Dg=4cm. With the dildo deeply in, the chin-nose distance Scn2:

Scn2 = Scn1 + Dg = 7cm + 4cm = 11cm

If you do not want to puncture you favourite cock and do want to allow easy sliding in and out and breathing with you mouth around it, add 0.5-1cm.

Leather over chest posture collar for a party or self-bondage

What: Boned leather neck corset that covers both the neck and upper chest. Back zipper.

Where: the item, the shop

Why: First of all it looks good. It can be worn for a dress party, fetish party, usual party, to a club or for a bondage or self-bondage session. And it’s genuine leather. Now let’s focus on (self)bondage.

Despite this “thing” does not have any laces or straps, it’s pretty much inescapable even when unzipped. But your arms must be bound behind your back. Add an ice-padlock between the D-ring and a stationary object and you are trapped! Very simple but very effective selfbondage session. If you pull (even with all your weight) the collar will not dig in your neck, because the ring is in front and will not shift much from its position.

Add the rest (latex, gags, plugs, tights, leotards, catsuits, etc) and do not forget to make and post photos! 😉

One possible problem: can you zip it up alone?

Wardog’s fetish and bondage art. Updated.

Wardog bondage fetish latex art (1)Updated on Jun 27, 2011 @ 02:08: Due to some glitches big images could not be uploaded in the forum. Posting them here. Many thanks to Krinlyc!

My first thoughts when I first looked at the picture on the left were: “That’s tight! Hm… That does not look like a catsuit… The person within the latex cocoon is bound with rope… Then he or she was placed in a rubber bag, then the bag was either heat crimped or the air was sucked out of it. I doubt that person can move an inch…”

Then when I zoomed in I noticed the signature: “Wardog“. So… It was not a photo!!!

I’ve been looking for Wardog’s art since TTD first introduced me to his work. Everything I could find on the Inet is either here, in this post or in Deep throat gags and forced deep throat self-bondage scenarios. What I like is his creativity which makes me think about possible bondage or selfbondage scenarios based on the drawings.

If, by any chance, you have more of his images, please upload them in this forum thread.

21 drawings below.

Latex style for men

Found this photo on FB (then on Syren web-site). I like this latex style. Simple, liquid, usual, skin tight, minimalistic, erotic and for every day. (If you’re curious, there are some Syren latex items on eBay).

Not related to the photo. I wonder what will happen with their production line after Abigail Greydanus departure.

What to get for my birthday?

Usually, I do not expect (yes, my expectations have been changed during the last years 😉 huge participation in discussions, comments, etc. but now I urgently need your money advice (hmmm…. expectations again?).

My birthday is in a couple of weeks. Hence the question: what fetish present do I want?

First of all it should be functional and flexible in terms of possible usage. Second, it should not be too expensive.

Some candidates:
