I am ridiculously excited by a new project launched by Hywel Phillips and Ariel Anderssen/Amelia-Jane Rutherford of Restrained Elegance. For a while, Restrained Elegance has beaten most other UK kink sites (as it were) when it comes to the quality of photography and professional production values. I watch their films because they are compelling, interesting [...]
If I were to tell you that historically, punishment has not been something I’ve enjoyed, I’d appear to be stating the obvious. Of course no-one enjoys punishment, that’s sort of the point. [read more »]
i. The tone was set by D. on Saturday morning, with an unexpected legs-in-the-air spanking. His spankings are always unexpected, because he always springs them on me first thing in the morning when I’m barely conscious. I blame his cock, which likes mornings far more than either of us, waking me with hot, velvety nudges against my hip. [read more »]
Studios are odd places, never inhabited but constantly striving to seem real. And yet real things have happened here, real conversations, real spankings, real sex.

I’ve changed a lot as I’ve educated myself about gender and culture, and my relationships have had to change with me. So has my feminism affected my submission and my D/S relationships? [read more »]
Just before Christmas, Dr Petra Boynton called my attention to a worrying article in Psychologies magazine (remember, the one which supplied the bad science which has been used to justify the idea of a UK opt-in system for online porn). This nuanced piece of journalism, entitled “Erotic asphyxiation — why do people do it?”... [read more »]
When I arrived at Women’s Question Time at Westminster last night, a panel debate on feminist issues hosted by Eaves, I was dismayed to see that the literature being handed out included a copy of The Big Brothel Report, the controversial report on sex work and trafficking which alienated so many sex worker campaign groups.

This question has been at the front of my mind lately. My original ambition for my new site was to publish high-quality M/m and M/mf spanking porn on the same site as all other orientations, in an attempt to appeal to the female and queer male audience which is so often invisibled by the industry.
