Super Kink!

13 04 2009

I ran across an article in the USAToday about a new book collecting the artwork from Joe Shuster, the co-creator of Superman. This artwork is not the Man of Steel stuff. In Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster you will find the artwork from his underground comics. If you want to see Clark Kent and Lois Lane in bondage, then here is your book.

Amazon also has the book and a blurb from the publisher:

Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-creator Joe Shuster showcases rare and recently discovered erotic artwork by the most seminal artist in comics, Joe Shuster. Created in the early 1950s when Shuster was down on his luck after suing his publisher, DC Comics, over the copyright for Superman, he illustrated these images for an obscure series of magazines called “Nights of Horror,” published under the counter until they were banned by the U.S. Senate. Juvenile deliquency, Dr. Fredric Wertham, and the Brooklyn Thrill Killers gang all figure into this sensational story.
The discovery of this artwork reveals the “secret identity” of this revered comics creator, and is sure to generate controversy and change the perception of the way we look at Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Jimmy Olsen forever. The book includes reproductions of these images, and an essay that provides a detailed account of the scandal and the murder trial that resulted from the publication of this racy material.

BDSM and Feminism

5 01 2009

BDSM often gets a bad rap from feminists, particularly male dominants and female submissives.  Browsing WordPress today, I found an interesting article (through Feminist Philosophers) on Feminism and BDSM (link here).

It’s taken me many years of unlearning mainstream power dynamics to understand and accept my own desire for fictional, fetishized ones. Despite this deliberate journey of self-discovery and the accompanying (and perhaps contradictory) feelings of being in total control, it’s pretty evident that the feminist movement at large is not really ready to admit that women who like to be hit, choked, tied up and humiliated are empowered. Personally, the more I submitted sexually, the more I was able to be autonomous in my external life, the more I was able to achieve equality in my sexual and romantic partnerships, and the more genuine I felt as a human being. Regardless, I always felt that by claiming submissive status I was being highlighted as part of a social dynamic that sought to violate all women. Sadly, claims of sexual emancipation do not translate into acceptance for submissives — the best a submissive can hope for is to be labeled and condescended to as a damaged victim choosing submission as a way of healing from or processing past trauma and abuse.

Let me know what you think of it, in the comments.

Disturbing Art, But I Like It.

I was surfing on Flickr the other day, and ran across the works of Jen Villota.  They are disturbing, raw, and very interesting.  Here are a few samples.  I encourage you to check them out.

Looking for Toys?

21 10 2008

I like nice toys.  I have a suitcase (and a bit more) full of them. One of the places I go to get some quality bondage gear (and they have other nice things too) is Mr. S Leather. Located in San Francisco and available though mail order, Mr. S Leather has become one of the old standards for gear in the Leather Lifestyle community.

I personally have shopped in their store, and frankly it was like heaven, being surrounded by all that gear. I find their merchandise to be of good or superior quality, and very durable and functional.

From their website:

For close to 27 years Mr. S Leather has been the world’s forerunner in the fetish industry. From it’s infancy there was a passionate and clear vision. This combined with an intense drive to bring the absolute best of the best in top quality bondage, leather, latex and electrical gear to its customers

Initially conceptualized by the infamous and fondly remembered Alan Selby, Mr. S Leather had its humble beginnings with only a handful of production and sales staff. Mr. S Leather could be best described as a ‘Leather Family’. Many companies today, selling or producing fetish gear and apparel over the years have fallen short of this mark. Having flooded the marketplace with flimsy designs and novelty items that weren’t functional and feigned at the image of the real leather scene. This was clearly not going to be the path of Mr. S Leather! Striving for perfection in both its craftsmanship and creative design produced legitimate and real working BDSM equipment and apparel that could not only stand the test of time, but the true test of Hard-Core Players, Playing Hard-Core!

Mr. S Leather was taken over in 1991 by Richard Hunter who himself was already an established legendary player in the world leather scene. He provided the new leadership and vision that re-invented the Mr. S Leather Company. The marketing and designs were transformed and directed by Richard and his production staff by looking towards the future and opening up the business to a broader market by moving away from the ‘70’s Leather Clone’ image.

Hope you guys find these reviews helpful. Let me know in the comments

My heart speaks the words written on my soul

18 09 2008

I am thankful to the most high one that he has brought me to you Sir.  I feel as if in all my years of being lost that i have finally found my home with you Sir.

Whether our lives end today or way in the future I can say that each of those days will be cherised by me and filled with thanks to you.  The very depths of my soul yearn for its place at your feet and I can no more deny it than to breath.  I know who you are, I see how you are, I know what you are and I know where I should be…at your feet…my Master’s feet…worshiping every moment there.

You are my constant fetish (any object, idea, etc., eliciting unquestioning reverence, respect or devotion)…freedom for me is kneeling before you.  I will praise you in silence and in voice.  My heart speaks the words written on my soul.  It is with reverence (a gesture indicative of deep respect)  I kneel before you palms up holding onto nothing exposing all to you, letting go of self.  It is with the deepest respect (the condition of being esteemed or honored) for you my Sir that I change and grow.  It is with utter devotion (profound dedication; consecration; earnest attachment to a person) that my hands type the words written on my soul; seared into my heart.  My space is wherever you are Sir.

Outpouring from my meditations this morning.
