Posts tagged Toilet
Feb 15th
I've never been a fan of Valentine's day. Whether I'm single or dating, I've always thought it was a silly artificial holiday. Although possibly that attitude might explain why I am currently single. Anyway, whatever my romantic failings, if you've come here looking for a post featuring cupids, hearts and submissives bearing chocolates, then you've come to the wrong place. Instead let me offer you something much more interesting – Lobster Fucking.
I guess I should clarify that I mean lobsters fucking lobsters, not any kind of perverse cross-species relationships. There are limits to how kinky I'm willing to go. As this article makes clear, how lobsters get it on is fascinating. Their courtship last days, features tease and denial, a seductive female and copious amounts of piss play. Appropriately enough, for a blog like this one, it's most the female pissing on the male to grab his attention. That's an approach that would certain liven up the typical romantic restaurant on Valentine's night.
Oddly enough, there's isn't a lot of femdom imagery featuring lobsters. Or crustacean of any kind. So instead I've gone with the watersports angle. This artwork is by Namio Harukawa. It's a little subtler than some of his other piss play pictures, but given where the man's head is, I think we all know what's going on.
Smile for the camera
Jan 3rd
This photograph put a smile on my face. Not so much for the act portrayed, but for the contrasts on display. They're indulging in a fairly hardcore kinky activity, but she's got a big grin and a relaxed casual pose. With careful cropping you could believe it was a cheesy pinup shot from a 70's nude calendar. Normally I don't like it when models appear more interested with the photographer than with each other, but this is happy enough to work. I wonder if this is post or pre-pee?
The image is of course from the now sadly defunct Other World Kingdom aka OWK.
Dirty talk
Sep 7th
Posted by paltego in Uncategorized
While I'm on the subject of watersports (see last post), let me take the opportunity to talk about the comedian Jim Norton. This less than obvious segue will become clear if you take a look at this video of him being interviewed by Amy Schumer. As far as comedians go, she's not afraid to work a little blue, but even she seems nonplussed by Jim's version of dirty talk.
Jim made headlines recently when he wrote about his personal experiences as a sex worker client and defended the idea of sex work. The usual crowd provided their standard knee jerk response to this, which automatically equates any kind of sex+money with trafficking and abuse, while simultaneously denigrating the people who do choose to work this way. Fortunately, scattered amongst the idiotic and ill conceived articles, there was some better ones that tackled the issue with some thought.
Given his comments in Amy's interview, this seems a very appropriate image to feature. It's by the always brilliant Sardax and was a commission for the lovely Mistress Darcy. She's a New York and London based domme, and is someone I'd love to play with should our paths every intersect.
There's always a queue for the ladies bathroom

Playing with several people simultaneously isn't too unusual in BDSM circles. Most pro-dommes will offer double or even triple-domme sessions and, on the lifestyle side, play parties help facilitate public interaction with multiple casual partners. Some guys are even lucky enough to get beaten down by four fabulous women. Compared to the mechanics of regular vanilla sex, with its orifice and appendage pairing issues, BDSM seems a lot easier to coordinate in groups.
All that said, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. That's 22 women and 1 guy. I particularly like the fact that some of the women at the back are holding crops. Clearly they're not just an audience, but plan to be close enough to use them at some point. Hopefully nobody suffers from a shy bladder.
I should warn readers that the site this comes from features fairly strong content, including scat play. If you're OK with that then check out the rinryu blog. I believe it's run by the creators of the infamous yapoo film series.
Extraordinary aim
Jun 9th
This is kind of a screwed up image. It's by German Jim and, like a lot of his work, has a composite feel to it. The vintage drawing seems to have been married with a photograph for the face.
However, artist techniques aside, what's really odd is the aim of the lady. I've done a number of GS scenes and, to be frank, women are not the best aimers in the world. They don't have the pipework for it. If they can hit my mouth, from a few inches away, seven out of ten times, then I consider myself ahead of the game. Hitting the target from a standing position while staring in a different direction and wearing a big skirt, well that's a goddam miracle. I'm blessed with better aiming equipment, and I couldn't pull this shot off. This lady should pee for the Olympics.

The photographs below are the work of DanAkuma on deviantART (free sign-up required to view). And I really do mean all his own work, in the truest sense of the word. He's the photographer, rigger, editor and sole model. He uses a real doll to stand in for the domme and then composes together photographs that are taken on a timer. He describes a little of how the first shot was created in the gallery comments.
It took a good hour to get the angle right with the right lens to show off both of us in equal proportions in the frame…
… it was 3 days worth of post to correct certain things like getting rid of the tripod legs, and warping the top part of my body to the right, so my head is inside the toilet (it was actually next to it when I took the photo), then adding all the shadows in.
Dan Akuma
I think they're very creative images in their own right, let alone for something created by someone performing in every possible role. I always enjoy seeing someone with an imaginative vision just go for it, and do whatever it takes to realize it.
Straddling the toilet

Yesterdays post on gags and forced consumption put me on the hunt for similar material. Here's a nice shot featuring a whitehead gag, along with a leash and some painful looking nipple clamps. While he's no doubt aware of what's about to happen, the blindfold adds that little element of suspense.
I have to admit that while this looks kind of fun, I personally prefer a more controlled and close-up approach. I think some submissives get off on the idea of being pissed on, where some consumption may also happen. It's more of a humiliation vibe for them. For others the consumption is the key act, and being liberally sprayed from a distance almost feels like a waste. That's more a worship approach. I'm definitely in the latter camp. I don't find being pissed on particularly humiliating, it's just wet messy fun. Where controlled consumption has a strong D/s dynamic for me.
Of course I could be doing the mistress in this shot a huge disservice. Maybe she has really excellent aim from a standing position.
I found this on the Femdom Marriage tumblr site. It's originally from the Femme Fatale Films site.
Spot the kink
Sep 24th
Posted by paltego in Uncategorized
Many years ago, when I was still a child, there used to be a competition in my local paper called 'Spot the ball'. They'd take a photograph of a moment in a football match (or soccer match for those of an American disposition) and edit out the ball. The competition was then to mark an X on the photograph on where you thought the ball actually was. The closest to the exact spot won. This image reminds me of that competition. There seems to be something fairly essential to the scene missing.
What is he looking so nervous about? What is she smiling at? Why is he in that posture? He looks like he's bending over to be beaten, but I don't see any implements to beat him with. Why are they in a men's bathroom? Are watersports involved? Has he got to pee into the urinal without splashing anywhere? What particular kink am I looking at here? I feel I should be marking an X on where the missing second domme should stand in order to make the whole scene make sense.
Of course it's possible she's simply punishing him by making him go barefoot into a men's bathroom. Given how disgusting the floors normally are in those, I think that'd be a pretty sadistic act in itself.
I found this on the LashKisser tumblr site.
Updated: Thanks to Moose I now have a link to the original divine bitches shoot that this is taken from. And the missing X factor turns out not to be another domme, but a guy who's about to screw the poor unfortunate slave. Which does help explain the look of anguish on his face.
Creatively Destructive
Aug 30th
Posted by paltego in Uncategorized
Kaya over on her Under His Hand blog has a very interesting new post up. She writes from the perspective of the submissive in a M/f relationship, but I have her on my blogroll as she often has pertinent things to say about the dynamics of a lifestyle D/s relationship. In that context the exact gender of the top and bottom can often be irrelevant to the point being made.
The actual post is too long to quote in full, so I'd suggest reading it to get the full context. The heart of the issue is the idea of activities that will diminish the status of the submissive in the eyes of the dominant. Activities that both would 'enjoy' in their very different ways, but risk permanently altering the balance of their daily relationship due to their extreme nature. I'll quote what I think is the key section.
So, we were talking the other day, talking about something mostly unrelated but in the vicinity of one of those "activities", when pretty much out of the blue, he turned to me and asked me about it.
There was an immediate flush of shame and embarrassment, and a reluctance to admit to anything. Rather than admitting shit, I deflected and answered his question with a question.
Or rather.. I answered his question with a statement that really really was a desperate question in disguise.
"I can't because you'd think less of me and not like me anymore."
He was quiet a minute, and then nodded. "You're right."
And everything inside just sort of… collapsed. I showed nothing on the outside though.
Kaya from a post titled 'Love in an Elevator'
She doesn't list what the activities might be and I don't think it really matters to the discussion. I just found it fascinating to think about the broad concept of such an act.
I'd suggest you can classify creative acts into two broad categories: Constructive and destructive. Constructive acts are things like writing software or designing a building. The creative act leaves you with more than you started with. It might even be repeated to enhance and build on the initial creation. Destructive acts are things like cooking or staging a play. They suck up time and resources and at the end you're left with nothing but the memory of the act for those who participated.
I think as humans we're hardwired to treat relationships as creatively constructive. The daily creative decisions we make are meant to improve and increase the strength of our relationships. Given the normal cost function we're trying to optimize that makes sense. We have limited time on the earth and relationships require significant time and resource investment. We want to maximize the return on that investment given our limited opportunities.
Yet here is an example of creatively destructive act that could be applied to a relationship. It's possible that both parties would gain more from consciously destroying aspects of the relationship (or even the entire thing) in order to appreciate the experiences they desire. Now that is not to say in this specific case that's the right thing to do. In fact Kaya is clear she very clearly doesn't want to lose her masters love and respect. But in the general case, perverse as it seems, there could be an argument for trading away a good relationship just to experience the act of destruction. Looking at it very coldly, it's an opportunity cost problem.
In the past I've seen submissives talk about similar acts in relationship to pro-domme sessions. Often they focus on thing like toilet service, with the suggestion that the submissive becomes more and more worthless with each degrading act, until finally they're good for nothing but being toilets. I've always treated this as a fantasy projection from the submissive. Pro-dommes are only going to do things they're comfortable with, and I've never seen a suggestion from any of them that there's some slippery slope of degradation. There's also very low opportunity cost in this case. Once the fantasy is played through the submissive can simply find another pro-domme to play with.
In the lifestyle scenario it's a far more genuine and riskier proposition. How close to that invisible unmeasurable line do you want to tread? Or should you consciously cross it and destroy what you have for the sake of an ephemeral experience? How do you make any kind of sensible judgement about what you're risking and what you're gaining?
One could of course suggest that it's simply the responsibility of the dominant to sort his or her head out. If they want to subject their submissive to it, they need to be sure they can deal with their own resultant feelings and still offer the necessary love and support. But of course when the attractiveness of the activity is proportional to the disgust it generates, that is easier said than done.
I should repeat that I have no idea of the kind of the specific activities Kaya is referencing. But when it comes to finding suitable images to illustrate extreme femdom activity I always have one reliable site to use – Team Rinryu (warning extreme content). In this case we have a cute girl, a nice smile and a man with an open mouth.
Good day at the office

Posted by paltego in Uncategorized
I spend most of my day discussing (aka arguing), brainstorming (aka incoherently arguing) and pontificating (aka arguing when you know you're wrong) about the right way to build really big computing systems. In this kind of group design work submissive tendencies don't tend to do well, and anyone who knows me only via work will assume I'm a dominant personality type. However, when I'm feeling frazzled and tired after a particularly passionate discussion, I often long to sneak away to get the crap beaten out of me. Pain can be like a holiday from your brain, and sometimes that's exactly what I need.
It looks like the gentleman below got just that kind of holiday, and with six very attractive tour guides. As it transpires in other photographs, they appear to have had a plumbing problem with the women's bathroom. This has forced them to rig up some sort of makeshift contraption as an alternative, with him as an integral component. As this second photograph shows it looks a little intimidating, but I'd take it in preference to swearing at powerpoint for an hour.
The images are taken from the team rinryu blog. Warning – some of the other images on that site are pretty extreme, including some graphic toilet play shots. Don't start browsing it unless you're OK with that.

Four injured as South Sudan rebels fire on U.S. military aircraft
Gunfire hits three U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens from fighting between South Sudan's military and renegade troops.

NAIROBI, KENYA—Gunfire hit three U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens in a remote region of South Sudan that became a battleground Saturday between the country's military and renegade troops, officials said.
Four U.S. service members were wounded in the attack in the same region where gunfire downed a UN helicopter the day before.
The U.S. military aircraft were about to land in Bor, the capital of the state of Jonglei and scene of some of the nation's worst violence over the last week, when they were hit. The military said the four wounded troops were in stable condition.
The U.S. military said three CV-22 Ospreys — the kind of aircraft that can fly like a helicopter and plane — were "participating in a mission to evacuate American citizens in Bor." It was not known how many U.S. civilians are in Bor.
"After receiving fire from the ground while approaching the site, the aircraft diverted to an airfield outside the country and aborted the mission," the statement said. "The injured troops are being treated for their wounds."
A South Sudan official said violence there has resulted in civilian bodies "sprinkled all over town."
After the aircraft took incoming fire, they turned around and flew to Entebbe, Uganda. From there the service members were flown to Nairobi, Kenya aboard a U.S. air force C-17 for medical treatment.
U.S. President Barack Obama, vacationing in Hawaii, said Saturday that continued violence and militancy in South Sudan may cost the world's newest country the support of the United States and other countries.
An official in the region who insisted on anonymity to share information not made public said the Americans did not tell the top commander in Bor — Gen. Peter Gadet, who defected from the South Sudan military this week — that they were coming in, which may have led to the attack. The U.S. statements said the gunfire was from unknown forces.
South Sudan's military spokesman, Col. Philip Aguer, said that government troops are not in control of Bor, so the attack on the U.S. aircraft has to be blamed on renegade soldiers.
"Bor is under the control of the forces of Riek Machar," Aguer said.
The U.S. Embassy in Juba said it has evacuated at least 450 Americans and other foreign nationals from Juba this week and had hoped to begin evacuations from Bor. The U.S. Ospreys were hit one day after small arms fire downed a UN helicopter in the same state.
On Friday, the UN sent four helicopters to extract 40 UN peacekeepers from a base in Yuai, also in Jonglei, UN information officer Joe Contreras said. One helicopter was fired upon and executed an emergency landing in Upper Nile state. No casualties occurred.
South Sudan's information minister, Michael Makuei Lueth, said that South Sudanese ground troops, backed by the country's air force, are fighting rebels in Bor in an effort to retake the state capital they lost earlier this week.
"There is fighting going on in Bor town, yes, because since morning they have continued to attack the civilian population," he said, talking about renegade troops. "They have gone as far as not respecting the UN compound."
He said fighting started early Saturday after reports came in that rebels there were shooting indiscriminately at civilians. "The bodies are sprinkled all over the town," he said. No death toll could be estimated.
South Sudan President Kiir, an ethnic Dinka, said a few days ago that an attempted coup triggered the violence now pulsing through South Sudan. He blamed the former vice-president, Machar, an ethnic Nuer.
But officials have since said a fight between Dinka and Nuer members of the presidential guard triggered the initial violence late Sunday night. Machar's ouster from the country's No. 2 political position earlier this year had stoked ethnic tensions.
The violence has killed hundreds and has world leaders worried that a full-blown civil war could ignite in South Sudan. The south fought a decades-long war with Sudan before a 2005 peace deal resulted in a 2011 referendum that saw South Sudan break away from the north, taking most of the region's oil wealth with it.
Lueth described Machar as "the rebel leader," saying the forces that control Bor believe they are fighting on his behalf. Machar's whereabouts remain unknown, but he has said in recent interviews that he is in hiding somewhere in South Sudan.
An International Crisis Group expert on South Sudan told the Associated Press on Friday that rebels have taken control of at least some of South Sudan's oilfields, an issue that could bring Sudan into the conflict. South Sudan's oil flows north through Sudan's pipelines, providing Khartoum with much needed income.
On Friday, the UN Security Council said the weeklong violence could affect neighbouring countries and the entire region.
Kenya announced it was sending in Kenyan troops to evacuate 1,600 Kenyans stranded in South Sudan, many of them in Bor.

Good day, blog friends.
I'll make this weekend recap like the weekend itself ~ short and sweet.
One weekend back in January, Doug was working in the backyard and I asked him to clear a little spot in the back corner so I could plant a few sunflower seeds - just to get something growing back there. I'm so glad we did that because that back corner is flourishing. It's fun that the flower stalks are taller than the elk rack that guards the bed.
Just look at that green lawn in the background! Doug even ran the lawn mower over it this weekend.
I have two varieties of sunflowers sprouting. The one shown above will have yellow blooms, and the flower in the next photo should have a deep red flower. I love that the leaves are a different shade of green too. ♥ Oh, and my hollyhocks are finally coming in - must be late bloomers.
I spent a little bit of time outside when I could - the weather was so beautiful. And for the majority of the weekend I was indoors teaching/learning/practicing yoga as I attended my monthly weekend of yoga teacher training workshops. This month's theme was all about the benefits of relaxation. LOVED every minute of the workshops this month!!!
My restorative yoga class on Saturday mornings has had light attendance lately. Here I am, taking a selfie while I wait for students to arrive. Only one did.
This week ~ ooohhhhh, this week! I'm preparing for a trip to Tulum, Mexico for a yoga retreat. :o) There are bags to pack and plans to make and things to take care of at work so I can be away for a week. To say I'm excited would just be a silly understatement.
Things will be a little quiet here at PaperTurtle for the next couple of weeks. I think I'll have all kinds of things to share when I return from my trip.
And with that, I'm off to tackle Monday...
I'll catch you on the flipside.
Adios, amigos!

After "bringing home the bacon", Olympic cycling bronze medallist Simon van Velthooven is already eyeing greater feats.
The Feilding 23-year-old was greeted by his aunty, uncle and cousin, who held a doubled-sided sign saying "Rhino Rules" on one side and "party at his house" on the other, as New Zealand's athletes were welcomed home by a large, buoyant crowd at Auckland Airport today.
"This is what any sportsman wants to do, bring home the bacon for New Zealand," van Velthooven beamed.
Inspired by British cycling legend Chris Hoy, who secured his sixth gold, van Velthooven pledged his desire to follow in his idol's footsteps after spending a night on the town with him in London.
"This medal is just a carrot for the donkey in my eyes. I can't wait for the next rotation," he said in reference to the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"The bronze is great, but after seeing Chris Hoy win his sixth gold, I want to go down that road for sure. After racing we talked more and more now. We went out and had a night together."
Van Velthooven passed his medal throughout the crowd to ensure the public got to share in his success.
"I want everyone to hold it and see how heavy it is," he said. "I can't wait to get out there and show everyone this medal and inspire some more people to do the same as what I did."
His aunty, Sue, believed her nephew had the potential to kick on and realise his lofty dreams.
"He'll be like a Rhino with a sore head waiting four years to do it again," she told Fairfax Media.
"He got a bronze in the Commonwealth so we thought he could do it. But the Olympics is a huge step up, you're racing against the best in the world.
"He wants to lift more weights and train harder. He's absolutely determined.
"These kids have been doing it from high school with the backing of their parents. It's only when they become elite athletes that they get any financial reward."
Watching the tense finish was hard for the family back home.
"It was so close. It wasn't good on us oldies when it's that close," she said.
Van Velthooven's younger cousin, 18-year-old New Zealand rowing prospect Louis, wanted to emulate Simon's courageous performance on the world stage.
"It was very inspirational, something to remember forever. It will be my dream to be there one day, too," he said.
Uncle, John, recalled jumping out of his seat after the agonising wait for shared bronze was confirmed.
"You always want them to medal but you never expect it. When it happened it was exhilarating," he said.
