Erotic Anarchy

When apart, especially for extended periods of time, it is important to maintain responsibility for and commitment to your partner’s (partners’) sexual needs.  To enforce that commitment and to keep a partner from getting complacent or forgetting to do anything but work when left alone the following rules have proven very successful:

• If she is lucky enough to connect with someone in a sexual way, she is obligated to follow through as generously and completely as she can.
• If she brings the person (people) to orgasm or if they bring her to orgasm, she is rewarded with oral sex.
• If she fails to follow through with an opportunity or refuses it for lack of motivation, or simply fails  to overcome logistical barriers, she is spanked.
• If the event is recorded and shared, she will get a better, longer reward.

They might not be for everyone, but for the right person they make what would otherwise be tedious time apart a hard-nipple, dripping wet adventure.

For example, even what would otherwise be a tedious cross country flight becomes a potential adventure.  If the person sitting next to her is an acceptable target (alas, a big if, but the seat-mate lottery certainly has higher stakes) but if her seatmate is reasonable, an outfit like this (without any undergarments) not only makes the flight fun but expedites security.  The only disadvantage is leaving a puddle in the seat.

The Elegant Spanking is a black and white, silent (with cards) movie about an afternoon between a mistress and her slave, a beautiful maid.  The story line beings with the mistress amusing herself in front of a mirror, eventually masturbating with a string of pearls, as her maid watches while arranging flowers.  The tension mounts as the maid joins the mistress, with much foot licking and pee drinking (and a little tea drinking too as a plot device).

The climax of the movie revolves around the mistress punishing the maid with an ethusiastic spanking and pedal stimulation of the maid.  After the mistress dresses and leaves the maid relives her afternoon while licking the pearls.

Maria Beatty’s movies are very different than typical pornographic films, they’re arty and have good music.  The women tend to be more “natural” than in mainstream porn.  The sex is explicit and fairly clearly shot, though the movie structure does not follow the standard porn movie “sufficiently long” sex scene/minor break/next “sufficiently long” sex scene model.   This is a short film, about 30 minutes.  I did not see The Black Glove, the other feature on the DVD.

Going Under explores the relationship between a client and Mistress.

Going Under is compared to secretary, but it is not nearly as compelling: it is slow, the character development moderate, the tension weak.   It compares well to low-budget sex-themed independent movies except for a few notable exceptions such as ShortBus, Secretary or even the comparatively low budget also kinky  Preaching to the Perverted. The quality of actor willing to play naked, the quality of writer willing to address the erotic, the availability of money all limit the final product usually disappointingly.

Going is not so bad as to be unwatchable and the story has some fairly interesting developments, even if taken slowly. The story centers around the evolution of a relationship between a kinky submissive therapist named Peter (Roger Rees) and a professional dominatrix named Susanne (Geno Lechner).  The situation is complicated because Susanne is quitting her madame and Peter is married.

Peter’s wife is apparently unperturbed by Peter’s needs or by Susanne and Peter’s budding “out of the office” relationship, but Susanne’s girlfriend is not so amused.

Then, suddenly, nothing really changed; roll credits.

Roger Rees is frequently naked in the movie occasionally pretending to masturbate and there are plenty of mild fetish flavored BD/SM scenes, though nothing particularly erotic or explicit.   The costuming is pretty good: stylish though more restrained than Preaching to the Perverted.

A photographic exploration of Tokyo’s sex clubs from the early 1980s by Nobuyoshi Araki.

Tokyo Lucky Hole is a huge volume of photographs documenting the sex clubs of Shinjuku.  The pictures come from a variety of clubs, from the early no-panties coffee houses to specialized perversions such as a club where the patrons lie naked in port-holed coffins and are masturbated by “mourners” sitting atop.

Many of the photographs are taken in and around the public areas of the clubs and document the shows and environment of the clubs, which seem to range from merely titillating or just plain silly to live sex shows where the performers fellate volunteers from the audience on stage or mount them; a bit like a sex-positive circus.

Another common theme is candid snapshots of the performers, most laughing or smiling, all enjoying themselves.  The prologue explains that the sex scene of the early 1980s opened up to amateurs: students and housewives who could make good money in a fairly non-threatening environment of these sometimes very silly venues.  Their good spirit shows through in the pictures.

The most explicit theme is photographs taken in private rooms of patrons and performers engaged in various sex acts: mostly oral or hand jobs, but plenty of plain sex as well.  The images give the sense of being un-staged and candid, and as a result are  amusing and erotic and entirely un-pretentious.  And sometimes very funny, as when a woman’s group scene ends with her peeing at a man shielding himself with an umbrella.

The book is a 700 page, comprehensive documentary of a unique period of sexual history.

TwistSF  is a very stylish sex club, modern and attractive.  One enters through an unmarked door into a lobby with a rest room and coat check.  Alcohol is strictly BYOB, one leaves the bottle under the care of staff (who seem to monitor for excessive consumption).  There’s four partial levels on two complete floors.  One floor is  a dance club where people tend to remain at least mostly clothed, the other is a sex club divided into areas suitable for 2-10 or so people each.

If you want beautiful pictures of beautiful women tied up, this is the book for you.  It’s all shibari, all beautifully lit and shot in black and white.  The pictures are all excellent, all perfectly composed.  While the subject is bondage, the subjects appear serene or even laughing; this isn’t a book about rape fantasies, in fact it is hardly a book about sex.

While most shots include bare breasts and erect nipples, and many include genitalia, there is not a single “pink” shot (or whatever the greytone equivalent would be) in the entire book.  There’s one slightly incongruous picture of an MF couple with the man’s hands firmly clasped over the woman’s breasts and dots of what looks like hand lotion on the woman’s abdomen that seems to be intended to signify semen.  Perhaps.

It is a book for beautiful, almost sculptural pictures of women and rope.

“The skull in the cage knows: the real bars are behind the eyes.”

Cafe Flesh is a classic (really) adult film that developed a signfiicant cult following.  The basis of the following is a little obscure given the actual quality of the film and story line, however it does stand out from most movies with cum shots on screen as having a premise and a plot, the storyline being more complex than some mainstream cinema… though not exactly challenging those mainstream movies that might have a chance at an award.

The story line is that there has been a nuclear war and in the post haulocost world people have become either sex negatives or sex positives.  Sex positives can have sex (unlike bay-area sex positives who talk about sex all the time but never actually have it) and are required to by law to inspire the “caged desire” of the sex negatives.   This is posited as and might even be read as a nominally “deep” statement about the nature of human desire and the repression of the same.  OK… not too deep but still, it is a porn movie.

And “adult” it is:

• The first sex scene is MF, quick cum shot.
• The second also MF, also a quick cum shot.
• The third is FF, sort of cut short (no female ejaculation here, but this was from the bush era, and not the political one, not even the first).
• The fourth: MMF, slightly longer to accommodate the necessary permutations.
• The fifth: MF, with “Ric0″ the agent of change.
• The sixth: FF, a plot driven moment of tremendous magnitude.
• The seventh: MF, Rico drives the plot to its abrupt conclusion.

Overall it is actually a nominally watchable movie, though there’s some intrinsic schizophrenia in any movie that attempts to marry a plotline with an effort at arousing the viewer in a prurient way; Cafe Flesh straddles the two somewhat uncomfortably.  It is to the creator’s credit (I think) that it succeeds more as a plot-driven movie than a porn movie, not to imply any absolute figure of merit to that success, rather a relative one.

Nurse me is one of the better Hentai titles: the animation is pretty good for the genre, there is a comprehensible story, and there’s a lot of sex.

On the downside, most of the sex is non-consensual, though the story arc is predicated on the heroine discovering heretofore unknown sexual predilections and thus the non-consensual humiliation and sexual degradation to which she is subjected a journey of self-discovery.  One would not have to be an angry feminist to characterize the premise as a male fantasy with little grounding in reality.

The story line has some complexities which make it stand out, there is a conflict (yes, a real psuedo-literary conflict) between the protagonists desire to live up to the model of the nurse who gave care to her favorite uncle and the demands placed on her by the training program to which she has enroled that she might achieve the (literally) saintly objective.

This sainthood is something of a black mass, repleate with enemas, lacivious head surgeons taking her virginity, more experienced lesbian nurses, and low-class rapists (who get their “cumuppance” in the form of a martial art’s coin throw to the erect genetilia).  Still, the heroine is a good nurse and takes each trial in stride and explicit detail (without censoring).

Didier Carre’s Stainless Ladies is a nicely produced book of women with transparent dildoes in their vaginas.

There’s more to it than that, of course, but flipping through the images, the prevailing impression is of attractive, muscular women with perfectly shaved pudenda (though not all completely) and clear dildos of various shapes inserted, mostly vaginally, though a few anal insertions are included.

All of the photographs are perfectly lit, carefully composed, artistically posed.  The models are all naked, their only costumes partially inserted.  If their faces are visible, they look directly at the camera.   The pictures are erotic, but in a somewhat clinical way.  The women are gorgeous, but more sculptural than sexual.

youporn is one of many video sharing sites in the gist of pornotube, redtube, xtube, xnxx, yuvutu etc.  youporn seems to be one of the best.

Video performance is good, video quality tends to be excellent (basically standard MPEG4 via flash like all sites seems to use now).  There’s a wide variety of content and navigation is pretty straight forward.
