Saw some pics of my recent scene...
I do like embroidery thread better than ribbon. I want to try some more elaborate needle art with it soon.

Commercial
Apparently this is my day for spotting scene references on TV.
So the one I just saw was a casino ad. We have lots of casinos on Indian reservations here.
In the background is a man sitting down wearing a hospital gown and a growing look of worry on his face.
In the foreground is a white sleeved hand being slowly gloved with a latex glove.
The look of worry grows and squirming starts.
The caption: "Some things really are intimidating. But not XX casino..."
Hotness.

The Lilliputian Scene
Ok--catching up with this blog now. If you were waiting for your comments to be moderated I finally did it. Sorry for the wait! I thought I had them linked to another e-mail account. Apparently not.
So Saturday was try #2 for what has been dubbed "The Lilliputian Scene." Now I have the blessing of the bottom to post in more detail than I usually do, sans names.
So once about 2 years ago this same bottom had a scene in which he was put in some sort of standing rope bondage (I think) and then had needles followed by monofilament (30 lb test nylon fishing line) threaded through his flesh and then attached to the same frame as the ropes.
Now, my skills as a rope bondage top are novice level at best. The only position I am tying anyone up now is horizontal. So I and another top adapted the scene.
The first time we did this we did not use ropes at all--just monofilament. Now the monofilament thing goes like this. You cut the line into 8 inch or so lengths, soak it in a cold sterilant, rinse it, and dry it. Then you place 18 guage hypodermic needles in your bottom (in and out piercing taking up just less than an inch of skin). The monofilament gets threaded into the hollow needle and through. Take the needle out--and leave the monofilament threaded into the skin. It can be tied off and the resulting loop can be attached to something else.
So we pierced this poor fellow about 10 times on each side, threaded him up, attached thin colored ribbon to the line, and tied that to eyehooks on the padded dungeon table we were using. As a final touch I took a very long piece of line and made a corset by threading it through multiple peircings in the thighs. His legs were "corseted" together.
During this scene the bottom began to shake and we cut him out. Turns out he was having a very long full body orgasm. I observed we had cut him out too soon and the reason was that we were worried about him tearing out.
Rats.
So this lead to try #2--this time at something called "The Vampire Ball" at our dungeon. I decided a potentially bloody scene would play well there.
So this time I brought 105 pieces of filament--and rope. If our victim was going to shake I wanted to not worry about massive tearing and bleeding. So I tied him up so he could move only a minimal amount.
This time we managed to get *70* needles down his upper arms, forearms, side, outer thighs, and outer calves. In the last several months I have gotten to be much faster and meaner with needles, as has my co top. It is amazing how easy it was for me to put an 18 guage needle in someone after playing with 12 and 8 guage peircer's needles.
The needles were fun to put in. The tying was tedious. I need to work out another way to fasten those darned loops. Surgeon's knots are really hard to tie in that stuff. I either need to practice like heck--or we need to find a knot slave. But we got to pull and tug enough during the tying to make it worth it.
For chuckles I created anther leg corset--though this one was made with needles that stayed put and embroidery thread. I discovered that embroidery thread is awesome to weave with and I got to create some cool designs before the bottom tapped out.
So we had a man on a padded table tied up with all sorts of colors of thread, ribbon, you name it. He looked like Gulliver after the Lilliputians were done corralling him. Rocking him was fun as we had managed to winch down many of his ribbons with a fairly decent degree of tension.
All said the scene lasted 3.5 hours. As I said--I want to find ways to cut down the time intensive part of it. It is not only tiring for the tops but also for the poor bottom who has to lie in the same position all of that time (I admire his endurance). Doing more sensation play with someone in that predicament would be fun. The orgasm did not happen again--but he reported he was still flying the next day. Yes, we got blood. Yum.
I wonder if jeweler's crimp beads would work.

I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham!!
I don't like fetish balls. Just don't. I respect the people who do. I respect the people who bust their humps to put them together. I respect the reason for them. If I liked to play dress up I would probably like them better.
But...
I am a consensual sadist. I like it when the *bottom* is in pain, uncomfortable, embarrassed, whatever.
Corsets pinch and inhibit my breathing
8" heals will send me to the emergency room with a twisted ankle. I was a little girl feminist and refused to wear the 2 inch variety--so now the 2 inch variety just *hurts*.
Stand and Model S&M gives me tics.
I don't drink.
I hate really loud music. I get enough loud Mexican tuba music where I live anyway.
I don't like mosh pits.
If I see people dressed like that I want to *play*. Yet playing is not allowed. Unless you spend your vacation money on a darned VIP room.
I don't generally want to spend the sum they want to charge me for the privilege of standing in a crowd, shoes and clothes pinching (or feeling like a dweeb because I wore something *comfortable*) waiting for the damned loo.
I am ready to be suspended by hooks. I want to learn how to suspend others by hooks. I am so over the gawking phase with the damned hooks already. Please!!
So....unless you want me to perform, or poke someone with sharp objects, or run the caning both, or do something *useful* there....
I ain't going.
Like I said--nothing against fetish balls. I love people who love fetish balls.
I also don't like plain cottage cheese, and yet D. whom I respect hugely, eats the stuff all of the time.
Tell me what it really is. Or I ain't coming.
*With Apologies to Dr. Seuss.

No Warmup?
Something Radagast (Radspace) posted a few days ago got me thinking:
The assumption with most scenes is that the Top will do some sort of warm-up to ease the bottom into things and get the endorphins flowing gradually.
IME--This is an example of one of those things that should be taken as a useful guideline, not a hard and fast rule. In other words, if you see a no warmup scene in the dungeon don't freak out and start thinking the Top is a lousy player. In my travels I've actually collected a surprisingly large number of instances in which a warmup would actually work *against* the scene.
1. Punishment (discipline). Rad described this one well. Whether you are getting punished for something real or doing punishment for a role play punishment should--well--hurt. Folks I know who have punishment as a kink have it precisely because they get something out of the fear, shock, and the fact that their endorphins are never allowed to overshadow the pain. If one wants punishment simply for behavior modification then it needs to be adversive. Scenes with warmups are not adversive. So for punishment (real or Memorex) I start out hard and work up to harder. For the initial swats I want shock and awe, but I don't want the person to kick me in the nose, suddenly develop the strength to move cars, or fly through a wall (with or without me in tow). So I don't pick up the 3/4 inch thick cocobolo 16 hole BottomBlaster 2000 at this point. I pick up a wooden hairbrush made of a softer (but still hard) wood.
The BottomBlaster comes out later as the endorphins kick in and I still want to continue getting the same reaction (if the punishment *needs* to last that long). In my experience it is the disappointment of the Top that punishes at least as much as the swats in a punishment scene that is intended to help alter real behavior. In more of a role play situation, it is the fear of the relentlessness of the top and the loss of control that does the emotional work to compliment the physical swats.
2. Cathartic scenes: Pretty much the same thing--except the intent is different. In the punishment scene I present a stern, impersonal, no-nonsense face. After the scene I may reassure the person that I still love *them* (but not the behavior). But there is no long aftercare.
In a cathartic scene I first want a general idea of why the person needs it. Do they need to grieve something? Has life gotten so stressful that they have gone emotionally numb? Are they blocked either creatively or in their ability to solve a problem? I figure that out (vague is OK) and ask them to start to sit with those feelings and hold them nonjudgmentally the best they can. That starts to prime the pump. Then I spend time looking them in the eye and I ask them if they trust me to give them what they need. When I feel the bond I can begin. The object here is to shock the mind out of its defensiveness and out of its distractions. It is rather hard to keep something suppressed or keep rationalizing something away if one's mind keeps getting yanked back to *swat* NOW *swat* NOW *swat* NOW, etc.
Verbal comments may break the dam if one has enough information to provide effective ones. Of course the catharsis can come in the form of laughing, crying, having a temper tantrum, etc. I end up spanking (or flogging) well into the initial show of emotions. There is this bone in most people's heads that goes into shame mode when emotions start to flow strongly. Continuing the spanking quiets that down just as it quiets down any other monkey mind antics the brain pulls. I've had people go through waves of all sorts of different emotions at the business end of a flogger or cane. The top, IMO, is definitely in service mode for this. One cannot stop until it is "done" regardless of achy shoulders or sweaty toy handles.
Aftercare is the polar opposite of the punishment scene. You have now become a minister of sorts and after the scene is over your job is to stay with that person, transmitting love without judgment and without "trying to soothe the pain away" until that person is done with whatever they need to process. Check-ins the next day are critical. I've heard of scenes going so deep that the Top does not leave the bottom that night, especially if the bottom does not have another supporter to go to.
Now punishment scenes can go cathartic. If I have a bottom I have punished for failing to keep track on his diet and suddenly he starts sobbing and raging about how his mother pulled "Mommy Dearest" tricks with his food when he was a child, obviously I am going to scrap the punishment aftercare subroutine and go with the same aftercare I would use for a catharsis. It is not a reward at this point--the person has obviously come to the core of some of *why* he has misbehaved and sticking around can help him heal it.
3. Rite of Passage. I've been through this twice, though not with spanking. There is really no warmup for an 8 gauge hook. Piercing or tatooing often get used as a rite of passage in our (mainstream) culture. "Hey I got divorced and then got this cool tatoo of a butterfly on my back! This is symbolic of my metamorphosis and new freedom." Rite of passage can be used as a bookmark, as a symbol that something has changed, or as a way to discover new strengths. A slave who takes a nose piercing (painful) and then puts in a large piece of jewelry at the behest of her owner and goes about her business for a week (embarrassing) has simultaneously marked her passage into being this master's property, has acknowledged the change, and has discovered that she can cope with physical pain, emotional fear, and social embarrassment (making her a stronger person)
4. Going for a spiritual experience. Fast for 2 days, then hang off the ground by two hooks in your chest. You might just see the light. On a more subtle note, flooding your body with shock and endorphins might thin the veil between you and whatever your belief system is. You might hear from God, or the gods, or the Universe, or what have you. You might get "hits" regarding what you need to do next to fulfill your life mission.
5. Ordeal #1: How much can I take? How far can I go? Can I really do *that*? Interrogation scenes fall into this category. No warmup there. I once saw an interrogation scene which resulted in one of the bottoms being reassured of the depth of his love for his fiance. Beautiful stuff. Sometimes though you just want to know if you can take 9 judicial style cane strokes. Or whatever. Some people are thrill seekers and limit pushers: "Can I sack that peak? Can I run 50 miles through Death Valley in midsummer? Can I play with that singletail top going full tilt?
This one can go really stupid though. If extremely masochistic bottom A challenges Insecure Ego Top B that the Top will tire before the bottom does, you have a recipe for trouble. I won't play this way, but if someone took away my conscience I could really do some damage with 1,000 cuts of a singletail before I would tire out. Not smart. Especially if you have a poor sense of when you physically have had enough--and when you are nearly delirious with pain that sense will be poor. Extreme pain *confuses* the brain.
6. Ordeal #2: Obedience. How much can I take for my Master? Does my capability to obey have a limit? Can go stupid--but also can be used to bond slave and Master if used well. It can also be used to push on phobias and fear areas and thus aid growth--if used very carefully. Warmup? Not likely.
And no--these are not nice neat categories in real life. There is plenty of room for overlap. However, they come in handy when I am negotiating. If I am lucky the prospective bottom tells me "That is what I want! I did not have the words for it though and nobody else ever talks about that particular thing!"

Play Party Yesterday
Yes, I am a happy camper today. I went to a play party yesterday that turned out very nicely.
I had arranged for one person to play with me who did not know that I play with singletails. He is turning into a dedicated spanking enthusiast (among other things) and has a nice masochistic streak. He told the resident TNG singletail expert of his desire to experience a singletail scene. Said expert was busy and referred him back to me. I had not planned to use any specific implement on his behind so we decided make it a singletail scene.
So I got to pop his cherry. I am developing a love affair with singletails. Any implement that can be as subtle or as fierce as you wish gets high marks from me. That and I have reached the "effortless effort" point with regards to my ability to wield it. I am not sure that the bottom realized such a thing as "light singletail strokes" exist (that other singletail top and I tend to play on the heavy side), but I was able to get him into a sweet la-la land. I stopped short of "enough." There is an "enough" point during a scene that does not necessarily correlate with the "enough" point when one has to sit on it all week sans the assistance of endorphins. Evidently though he was happy with the artwork I left behind and wants to play harder the next time.
I then found another bottom who desired needled play. Small gauge (large) needle play. I had actually shown up with the plan of either finding someone to poke or doing needle play on D with my smallest needles.
I got to use 8 gauge needles for the first time. Yummy. Putting them in was easier than I thought. I had graduated up to 12 gauge and put a pair of them in myself last week, so this was more cool than nervewracking. I got nice deep piercings that actually looked like they may be worthy of hooks. I put 4 in and then rigged some hairbands around them to do a light pull. We both ended up wishing we had hooks and we may arrange a real pull at some point.
I found out that the verb for placing flesh hooks or any body peircing object is "throw". So I do want to learn how to throw suspension hooks at some point. After I actually get suspended (now there is a motivation to lose that stubborn 40 lbs if I ever saw one). I don't think I am into the performance artist aspect of it. I see this sort of thing as ritualistic--a personal growth tool if not a spiritual gateway.
All in time. For now I will keep playing and pulling.
