Sol's birthday: part 2: Prince Albert piercing

On Saturday afternoon we met up at a Newtown cafe with our friends MzAntonina and MactheKnife to finalize negotiations for a tea party / scene at their home on Sunday. I made sol (who rarely eats sweets) eat a very large piece of carrot cake to get his sugar levels up. Why? Because his main present was to happen at 3pm when we had an appointment at Polymorph for a Prince Albert piercing...

What's a Prince Albert piercing, I can hear newbie readers asking.

Well the Prince Albert piercing (or PA as it's often called) is one of the more common male genital piercings. It pierces the penis from the outside of the frenulum and into the urethra. I seriously suggest that if you are not interested in piercings (especially if you are squeemish) that you give this post a miss!

The history of the PA is a bit tricky to discover these days, as Wiki notes:

The Prince Albert piercing may have been practiced in European culture for some time, and while there are many tentative theories as to its origin, the true origin of this piercing is unknown. Many of the theories regarding this piercing's history suggest that the piercing was used to secure the penis in some manner, rather than having a sexual or cultural purpose.

In modern times the Prince Albert piercing was popularized by Jim Ward in the early 1970s. In West Hollywood (a gay village of Los Angeles), Ward met Doug Malloy and Fakir Musafar. Together these men further developed the Prince Albert piercing. Perhaps more fatefully, Malloy published a pamphlet in which he concocted fanciful histories of genital piercings in particular. These ersatz tales—which included the notion that Prince Albert invented the piercing that shares his name in order to tame the appearance of his large penis in tight trousers—are widely circulated as urban legend. No historical proof of their veracity has been located independent of Malloy's assertions.

Like many other male genital piercings, it has a history of practice in gay culture in the twentieth century and became known outside that culture at the same time that body piercing began to emerge in popular culture in the late 1970s. The relatively easy procedure, rapid healing and claims of additional sexual stimulation (both to the wearer and his partner in sexual intercourse) attributed to this piercing have come to make the Prince Albert the most common male genital piercing.

Sol had been wanting a genital piercing for a while, but he'd had to wait until I became more interested in body modification. His nipple piercing had never really taken, we had constant problems with it and in the end took it out. The PA sounded a lot more fun, plus it has enormous play potential, especially chastity play.

So at 3pm we presented ourselves at Polymorph, who's staff (or artists, as they quite correctly term themselves of their website) came highly recommended by friends. I'd also met some of them at Lukas Zpira's body mod workshop. We were seeing Rod, who - being extraordinarily good at what he does - explained everything that was going to happen to sol ... and then did the piercing in a fraction of the time it had taken to talk about it lol. You can watch an interview with Rod here.

I took this photo a moment later:


Sol's body had completely tensed and almost arched in places during the (very fast) proceedure and now he was enjoying the endorphins. "There was no blood!", I disappointedly said to Rob, who laughed and warned us there might be more later. You can read real stories of men having the PA piercing in the Reference and Online Resource section at the bottom of the post.

We headed back to where we were staying, stripped off and got into bed so we could examine our new piercing. Doesn't it look amazing?


As we admired Rob's fine work I started running my fingertips lightly up sol's cock:


He was incredibly sensitive and incredibly horny and nearly expired when I stopped touching him. "But you are getting a hard on!" I said. "He said no sex for six weeks not no erections!" yowled sol pathetically.


So being a nice Mistress I touched him some more! This did cause a tiny amount of blood loss.


From Polymorph's terrific aftercare kit we know to expect bruising and possibly more blood. Sol's first pee was a bit painful but again we'd been told to expect that. I'll keep you up to date with the healing process, for any readers interested in having a piercing in future.

Happy Birthday sol :) !

Sincere thanks
to Rob
at Polymorph
and to
MzAntonina and MactheKnife
for making it happen :)

Sol's birthday: part 1: Impact play

On Friday night sol and I attended a Black Sash Salon ("an intimate discussion/play party held bimonthly") at the Sydney home of our friends MsGawjusRedhead and AugustusSeizeHer. You can read about another Black Sash night here.

My friends had a very full house on Friday. As always there were new friends to be made and old ones to greet. I was pleased to see Daddy_K, a very experienced sadist and respected member of the Australian kinky community, who has given me so many fiendish tips to torture sol.

The discussion topic of Friday's Salon was "Making an impact":

"Things that go bump, and bang, and kerthump. Impact play can range from the lightest flicks of a finger on bare skin through to vicious beatings. What's your bag? What does impact play do for you? Is it about the violence, the sensation, the control.. or something else?"

We had some really great presentations on the topic, and some interesting dialogue resulted. Sol and I had decided to present alternate viewpoints - on being the object of impact play and being the person doing it. Sol's piece went like this - remember you need to add the sound effects of the scene yourself:

Mmmmf... One, Thank you Ma'am

Fuck that hurts. I don't know if I can do this, not today. I should have asked for a warm...

Aaaaahhhhh ... ... ... Two, Thank you Ma'am

No no no no no I'm not into it today it's just not happening I won't last I'm just going to have to

Owwwwww … … … Three, Thank you Ma'am

Just breathe, you can do it just

Aaahh!!!! … … … … … … … … Four, Thank you Ma'am

That was too fast I can't absorb

AAAAHHHH … … Five, Thank

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH … Six, Thank you

NO NO NO

AAAAAAARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH … … … … … … Seven, Thank you Ma'am

Oh I hate it when it's fast like that, it just builds too fast you can't absorb it …

that's better it's starting to fade, to warm

MMMmmmh … Eight, Thank you Ma'am

Bit soft, that stroke. Light strokes after some heavy ones just don't get through to you.

By now he had the entire room laughing....

Mmmmm … Nine, Thank you Ma'am

I hope she puts a bit more behind the next few. I wonder which cane she's using ? That new one looked vicious, I'm sure this isn't that one. But then you can't tell whether it will be until you get a few strokes

Aaaaah … … Ten, Thank you Ma'am

I should probably install the new Ubuntu when I get back to work. I think it's stable enough and I don't have anything urg

AAAAAhhhh … … … Eleven, Th

AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhh … … Twelv

AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhnnnnn … … Thirte

AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhHHHHHHH … Fourte

AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhnnnnnnn … Fifteen

NNNNNNnnnnnnnnnggggggggg … … … … … Sixteen, Thank you Ma'am!!

Relax, go with it, don't let it

Nnnn … Seventeen, Thank you Ma'am

That's it, just float

Eighteen, Thank you Ma'am

Nineteen, Thank you Ma'am

Twenty, Thank you Ma'am

And of course now he's floating in subspace, lol...

Then it was my turn. This is what I wrote re being the person doing the striking:

First there is the anticipation ... the memory of past scenes … the possibility of plans, perhaps negotiations with friends ... the day dreams that burn with desire...

Then there is the planning of the scene ... the choice of implements (shall I use leather today? And if so shall I use the soft caressing leather tails of my suede flogger or the hard black shiny leather of my strop or the vicious bite of my rawhide cane? Wonderful how one medium has so many textures...). Then the preparation of the chosen implements and their presentation within the play space (lined up just so, in the order I plan to use them .. or not ... perhaps I don't want them to be seen, perhaps they will remain hidden... choices choices...)

Next there is the moment of restraint ... the last rope knotted or carabinar clicked into place … he is going nowhere and he knows it ... I know the effect this has on him and equally my own stomach clenches in desire and again the thrill of anticipation ... and (perhaps) I may work on that, extending the moment before I begin, running my hands over smooth naked flesh, listening to quickened breathing ... (perhaps) I may use a blindfold on him, to focus him ... to conceal my own movements … to increase the sensation of touch ... I may prowl around his restrained form silently on bare feet, perhaps a light fingertip touch on the chest, a finger nail scrapped across a nipple, sharp teeth raked over vulnerable genitals...

Then there is the moment I lift up the first implement ... the flash through my mind of the decisions that have been made, the way the scene will go … I am up on the balls of my feet with anticipation, but still I take a moment to centre myself, aware of the familiar implement - or perhaps two, in my hands ... the way it's handle grips, the way it falls ... the way my body moves into a certain position having chosen it's target, ready ... ready... waiting...

Then there is the moment of the first strike ... the swing of the implement, whether flogger or cane or whatever … the way the weight of my own body shifts, the way I shift into a totally focused visual and oral world … the sound this particular implement makes in the air ... then the gut / desire wrenching sound it makes as it impacts on bare flesh ... the sound he makes (for that first strike there is a special sound) ... the sound of the implement pulling away from skin ... each sound so different, so unique...

And then there are the visuals – like the moment the first mark appears on the skin ... the exquisite double line of a cane strike or PVC tubing strike or the knotted marks from plaited leather ...

For a while after this there are the many moments that all run together in my mind like bright colors in a child's painting - of later strikes ... fast movements that quickly pattern his skin, juxtaposed with long still moments when I extend the strike ... mixing thuddy pain with sharp stingy pain as I change implements … perhaps if I'm using a cane I might rest the implement against the skin for a moment before lifting to delay the second wave of pain ...

There is the joy of watching further marks appear, of running my fingers and tongue over raised welts, dragging the implement over bruised skin, the dark passion of first blood … there is the amusement of a count (“no we have not has 78 strokes!”) gone wrong, providing "permission" to “punish”, layering sensation - torturing nipples, or adding clover clamps to his genitals - to further focus him …

Above all, there is the pleasure of a perfect strike ... and the delight in the different sounds he makes, from the silence of a bowed head to cries beyond description when he flies ...

Finally there is the moment of ending ... I become aware of the sweat on my body, wetness between my thighs, the metallic taste in my mouth that signifies the end of the scene is near … then there is the moment of the release and the reward (perhaps) ... ... the moment I re-cage my own beast, allowing me my own reward, a final tangle of spent bodies on red sheets, a pile of used impact play toys beside us...

Last of all there is the memory ... then again comes the anticipation...

The last presentation was Daddy_K who did a short flogging scene with MacTheKnife. I love watching her work, she enjoys herself so much. Her face simply glows with delight. As she flogged c with a variety of implements she told us the things that made impact play work for her : the smell of leather, of sweat on the body of the sub, the importance of touch (soft and sensuous and hard as nails as she brings her hands down flat on MacTheKnife's back), and that feeling of rightness that I know so well, when you land the perfect strike, when the flogger tails fall just so.

Afterwards I asked Daddy_K whether she might like to borrow the birthday boy for a flogging. "It's an almost virgin surface", I told her, "I've done a little flogging but I'm no expert ... he's also experienced a single tail twice (here and here)". "If I remember rightly he's got a high pain threshold" she mused. "Oh yes", said Ms160, by which - one dominant to another - I was confirming that Daddy_K could have some fun...

The final event for the night was a very erotic knife scene. Some lovely marks, with blood drawn. Apparently the sub had written in her blog that she was unsure that the intensity and fear of a knife play scene could be maintained if one had an ongoing relationship with the dominant - the trust that develops would cut the fear. The dominant disagreed in a response on his own blog. The sub was delighted to admit after tonight's scene that she was wrong!

Then it was time to tie sol to our hosts' St Andrew's Cross:


He could have just held on to it but sol flies further when restrained and I knew playing with Daddy_K was a great opportunity for him to fly.


Daddy_K ran her hands over sol's back ... she was doing practical things like taking note of his musculature and checking the surface of his skin for wounds, but it's also a very sensuous way to begin a flogging.

I love how Daddy_K uses her hands. I've seen some dominants do a flogging and never touch a sub. But with Daddy_K ... well it's funny ... I would have told you I took lots of photos of the scene but I don't have a single photo of her actually flogging sol (which she did perfectly, that's the only word to describe it). Instead, every photo shows her touching his back - in many different ways - between the strokes. Which sums up her technique and her delight in interacting with the canvas of the art work she is creating. And she really is an artist.

You can see below where she is touching sol with a flat hand, her palm enjoying the heat and the sheen of sweat, during the scene:


Here she is using her finger tips:


Now she is digging in clawed steel like fingers:


In the final photo below she is slapping her open palms down hard on the upper part of sol's back, where the flogging was mostly focused.

Daddy_K also had toys that covered her hands - soft plush gloves and - at the other extreme - the best pair of vampire gloves I have ever encountered. The palms and fingers were completely covered with spikes. Even the softest pressure left sharp dots on the skin. MacTheKnife told me the next day he still had marks from Daddy_K's vampire gloves!


Look at her face in these photos, readers. I swear to God, Daddy_K was having such a good time, it was like I'd let a gleeful fiendish pixie loose on my boy:

I think everyone was amused by sol's noises during the scene, as they perfectly matched his earlier monologue. For which we won the evening's best presentation prize incidentally, as our hosts said they had never had anyone present both sides of a scene before :).

The prize was very appropriate for the evening, a really useful rubber impact implement:


A big thank you to our hosts for that!

All too soon it was time to take sol down and wrap him in a blanket, while he returned to earth. Here are sol's final marks:


Daddy_K was very pleased that the center of sol's spine was white and untouched. That's a type of accuracy I don't possess, but I'll certainly keep practicing. Thank you so much Daddy_K!

Sol's subtle pink angel's wings made a perfect start to his birthday - it was now 1am on the actual day. But the day had only just begun and I had other major plans...

To be continued...

Thank you:
to our hosts
MsGawjusRedhead and AugustusSeizeHer
and Daddy_K

Ms160 and sol attend a munch...

Some members of the munch who
don't mind being seen!

I organized a munch for my NSW North Coast / Northern Rivers group on Fetlife last Sunday.

What's a munch, you ask.

You can read all about munches in my Going Real Time series, especially the post on how to find your local kinky community. But here's most of the munch bit:

SO WHAT'S A MUNCH WHEN
IT'S AT HOME?

"Hello and welcome to the munch!
Perhaps this is your first munch.
Perhaps this is your first BDSM event of any kind.
Congratulations for contacting what many of us call
the BDSM community (or, more simply,“the scene”).
You are on the threshold of meeting many new people
, having many new experiences,
and both learning and growing a great deal"
Jay Wiseman
A Beginner's Guide to BDSM Munches

I'm sure you are familiar with the word. Here's what Wiki says:

"A munch (short for burger munch) is a low-pressure social gathering for people involved in or interested in BDSM, usually at a restaurant. When available, munches often use a private room. In the UK, the venue is usually a pub, and people are free to arrive and leave within the specified hours. The primary purpose is socializing, though some munches also have announcements from local organizations. Munches often help those who are curious about the lifestyle meet others who may be able to help them become more comfortable and better informed. Munches can also be a place to get advice about or pass on anecdotes about BDSM experiences.

"Unlike a play party, most munches are casual affairs that exclude fetish attire or BDSM play, though a rare few include covert Master/slave interactions or other play. Some munches may have a specific focus. Others may be restricted to a specific group, such as women or submissives"

What a munch isn't:

"It's not a dating service. It's not a singles group. It's not a swinger's club. The purpose of a munch is not specifically to find you a date and/or a partner. If the only reason you come to a munch is for that reason, you are likely to be disappointed"

Thank you, Ms Constance. You'll often see people online recommending attending munches as an entry point into your local scene. I mention it myself in an earlier section of this post. It's certainly a good way to start. Some groups even hold newbie munches, designed to be as unthreatening as possible:

"The [TIES] Newbie Munch is a monthly no-play, streetwear gathering held on the second Saturday of every month at 1pm. The location varies from month to month, but it is always held in a public space such as a restaurant, mall, or park. Attendance varies but averages between 15 and 30 people.

"It is designed for people who are completely new to BDSM, familiar with BDSM but new to a real life community, or even those familiar with BDSM communities, but new to this area. We also typically have several veterans of the local scene to help answer questions and with whom one can make contacts. We even invite those who have a limited familiarity with the local community and wish to expand their social circle"

Isn't this exactly what you need? If you are still nervous ask organizers if they will meet you for a quick coffee before the event. This was something roo-roo experienced, prior to his first munch:

"My biggest obstacle was making progress against my shyness (can’t say I’ve overcome it though.) Just walking into the first munch was a nerve-wracking experience but well worth it. (on the way to my first munch, I was screaming the Oscar Meyer Weiner song in my car, to try to calm my nerves.) Before going to the munch though, I looked at the munch's website and e-mailed with some basic questions, like what people normally wore to these things. The person I ended up talking with was very friendly and understanding, and even asked to meet for coffee before I went to a munch, so that I’d at least know one person there"

You can read more about munches, and other ways to meet kinksters in your local community in my how to find your local kinky community post. Interested in starting a munch group of your own? Read How to start a Munch by Mistress Ren and LesVoiles as well as other articles suggested at the bottom of this post.

So what did we do at our munch?

A small group of us met in the garden of a local cafe. It was kink friendly, dog friendly and smoker friendly so suited the group. And if you find yourself organizing a munch you need to take these things into consideration when you choose a venue.

Some of us had met at kinky events before, but some had not. For sol and myself there was one especially looked forward to meeting. As I wrote on Twitter: "Great munch with good friends + new ones ... finally met an online playmate of 3 years standing ... as beautiful in real life as online :)".

We had a lot of fun at our munch. "It was truly wonderful and the company was really GREAT!", wrote BlackPrince later, while MistressTerra noted: "Had a hoot of an afternoon ... Most entertainment and giggles I have had for ages where there hasn't been blood, cries or an enema kit involved".


A two hour event stretched to four....

Was there anyone there, experiencing their very first munch? Yes there was: Ms160sSecretPet. And for you new timers out there here are her thoughts about the day:

"Having spent the past four years hiding behind the security of my computer screen, seeing the email invitation in my inbox was daunting.

"I looked at the invitation from Mistress 160 to join a local "kink" community group at a real life get together on the following day. I had recieved invitations to events in the past, but always had a reason not to go. I kept reading "just a lunch . . . a get together . . . Vanilla environment . . . casual clothes . . . . "

"As I stared at the screen, reading the email over and over I realised that this was my chance to actually take the step, to attend a safe, no pressure, real life "kink" event. So, I replied to the invitation saying "Ok, I will be there".

"Driving to the destination my nerves increased. I think I stopped breathing when I first entered town and headed in the direction of the cafe we were meeting at. "What am I doing? What is this munch going to involve? What if I dont fit in? What? Why? OMG!" . . . . All these thoughts were running through my head.

"I pulled up at the location - crossed the road - and walked through the cafe to the area at which we were meeting. I must admit although I wasnt sure what to expect, I dont really think I was expecting to see "normal" people. Please excuse my ignorance, but I have been fighting my own demons regarding my kinks for the past 4 years (that is when I first acknowledged them) and really thought I may have been the only one in real life, who had such thoughts/desires.

"Everyone at the munch was warm and welcoming. Everyone had their own stories to tell, which made the get together rather interesting! I sat back, quietly listening to what everyone was saying. I hope I wasn't seen to be rude, and although afterwards I was upset with myself that I was in fact so quiet during discussions, I was also very proud of myself that I have taken the step to reach out and meet so many like minded people, right here in my own community.

"It was nice to know that there are REAL people in this world, and some even close to home, that are there to talk with and act as a support to me. I got home after the munch with a new outlook on things. I have joined an online community, and have done some more soul searching - perhaps I am ready to take the next step from online to "real life". It makes it so much easier knowing that there are other people out there who are happy to help me out and support me should I need it.

"Attending the munch was probably one of the biggest steps I have taken in this, my journey of self recognition. If I hadn't attended I would probably be sitting by the computer denying my ever growing urges to explore these desires burning deep within. Thank You, Ms 160 for the invitation"

Yay!! Thank you for coming, so to speak :). Our new friend did exactly the right thing by the way. Just being there is quite enough for your first event, you are processing waaay too much info ... you can do the talking next time. Now go on, readers, shoo ... go have a look at what's on in your own local area....

Adrenachrome: CBT skillshare workshop, Melbourne

Ah, the joys of CBT.....

You're gloved up, his crown jewels are in your hands, and you look into his eyes and smile... what will you do next?

Cock and ball torture is one of the basic skillsets that a professional dominant is taught in their training. It's also one of the most intimate forms of play for both tops and bottoms in the lifestyle. If you've ever wondered what to do when presented with a man's block & tackle, then this is for you. (or you may be a CBT afficionado and want to come along and serve as a stunt bottom, write to the email address given below)

The skillshare will cover basic cock bondage, pegs, fire & ice play, insertables and a little mind fuck... all with items that are commonly found around the home. The emphasis is on doing enjoyably nasty things for maximum effect and minimum damage. After all who wants to have a broken toy? No fun in that!

Numbers are restricted to 12, we are hoping to have 8 tops and four bottoms ie. two tops per bottom (lucky things!) due to space restrictions. If you can BYO you'll be expected to share with one other. If you don't have a bottom, we can hook you up with another top and their bottom, or put you with a 'stunt' bottom. Attendance fee is $20 per person payable in advance, but you may be asked to bring an extra $10 to cover a stunt bottom's attendance fee.

Interested?! Here are more details:

date: Saturday, May 23, 2009

Celebrating a kinky birthday: bratty turns 50....

"What on earth is that top photo?", I can hear readers exclaiming...

Read on! All will be revealed!

On Friday we drove interstate to share a friend's 50th birthday celebrations. Our hosts were MistressKitten and Kittens-bratty-one, bratty being the birthday boy :). MistressKitten runs the BDSM Group BrissyDarlingDowns group, which has a sister group on Fetlife.

Just before we left home I had sol make some fresh ginger plugs for possible figging play during the weekend...


We arrived about 9pm on Friday night. A major party was planned for Saturday, but it felt like a smaller party was held amongst house guests on the Friday night as well, lol.

I think there were about 40 guests on Saturday night. The party had a gangster / moll theme, and guests put a lot of thought into their outfits *grin*:


I was Dungeon Monitor for the night so as it was an outdoor party I wore black jodphurs, black latex riding boots (which sol shined beautifully), a red T shirt and my black PVC long jacket. I added my fingerless leather opera gloves and sol painted my fingernails scarlet. Sol wore black leather trousers and a black jumper. These outfits proved practical and comfortable.

The party spread over the house and was mostly in the enormous garden and back shed. A wonderful fire was lit and provided a great place to warm up when the night became cold. Again, as at other recent events with this group, it was great to catch up with old friends and recently made friends as well as make new ones.

After dinner MistressKitten delivered a welcome speech in gangster slang (which took MistressKitten's sub Pippa a week to research!), let everyone know Rastas was the first aid person for the evening and I was the DM, and told everyone to have fun...

The first scene was a present to the birthday boy: his first saline infusion. This technique is becoming increasingly popular in BDSM play and I'll write more about it in a separate BDSM For Beginners post.

MistressKitten bound bratty in a (totally lust after) leather straight jacket and we helped him onto the medical gurney. Rastas prepared and administered the saline into bratty's balls. Here is MistressKitten measuring the impressive result:


As it was bratty's first time Rastas only infused 500ml. A litre next time, he told bratty! And here's that top photo again, LOL: it's a photo I took of Rastas lighting bratty's balls with a torch:


Amazing, isn't it? I promise I'll write that article about saline infusions ASAP.

Then it was time for dessert and birthday cake. I thought you might like the photo of bratty's swollen balls nearly hitting the cake as he leaned over the table and tried to blow out the sparklers on the cake:


Bratty's birthday flogging followed (MistressKitten can be seen here playing with bratty's balls while administering a flogging with Devilwoman's birthday gift):


Wandering around in my DM role meant I was not only able to satisfy my voyeur desires but was also able - with their approval - to take photos of guests playing. Here's TheVampyOne (who attended Satet's needleplay workshop with sol and myself) delivering her sub sub_human666's first play piercings:


She did a terrific job. I requested permission to reproduce a cropped photo here but if you'd like to see the rest of the scene, check out the photos on Fetlife here here and here :) (there are a few more photos there to see as well). TheVampyOne is - like myself - very interested in edgeplay and moderates a group on Fetlife for Savage and Violent Play.

I also watched a wonderful breast caning session, done by ED and his lovely sub subscorpio77, who I first met at the recent formal dinner. ED kindly gave me permission to reproduce this photo, taken at the end of the scene:


Such wonderful marks! I also photographed Bounded and Manson's electrical play scene:


This was Bounded's first experience with a tens unit and a violet wand. She had a LOT of fun! You can follow the scene on Fetlife here here here and here...


Then it was time to assist Devilwoman with c. This was the second scene I've done with these two and it's always an honor to be involved. I'll write a separate edgeplay post for this, too, once I have permission to use more images, but for now - another scrotal infusion was done, this time via injection:


An assortment of fiendish implements were applied to c's cock ... and then it was time for some sparkler play...


By now it was well after 3am and guests needed the floorspace to sleep, so we called it a night....

But not for long ... a few hours later - after a seriously good restorative breakfast made by bratty - Mistress Angelicca and I took paddy and sol to the private play room. I instructed sol to insert one of the ginger plugs and then restrained him on the St Andrew's cross. Mistress Angelicca placed paddy up against a wire cage:


We started warming them up with crops and canes. After a few fast light cane strokes, I put the cane between my teeth and moved behind sol again. You never know with figging how long the plug can remain - sometimes the discomfort settles down, sometimes it doesn't and you need to remove the plug quickly. So I wanted to concentrate on those sensations for a moment.

For a minute or so I forced a knee between his ass cheeks to wiggle the plug and played with his nipples through his T shirt ... then I masturbated him with one hand and caned him with the other:


Shortly afterwards sol signaled that the fig needed to be removed (there was a sharp edge pressing in the wrong place). While he headed to the bathroom, Mistress Angelicca continued to work on paddy:


When sol returned he told me the upright position was not working for him, so this time I instructed him to bend over a chair:


Angelicca was now finished with paddy, so I requested a moment of her time for a double caning...


Look at this marvelous photo paddy has taken (below) of Mistress Angelicca caning sol ... you can see the skin flattened under the force of her stroke:


At the end of the scene we bent both boys over to compare marks:


Not bad for a very limited amount of play time ...

We've started running a Best Marks contest between the two boys, re their marks after a joint caning session. Sol's were impressive but we decided paddy - who had the extra time while sol was removing his fig - won Best Marks this weekend!

As to Best Marks for the party, hmmm .... many of the scenes really didn't leave any (I'll talk about the ones we left on c in another post). Bratty was certainly feeling his sore ass the morning after his birthday flogging but the marks were too subtle. Paddy's and sol's were good, but .... no, I think subscorpio77 definitely wins:

Thank you:

Retreats for Dominant Women...

Down, male subs! This one is for the Ladies!

It's a terrific thing, watching kinky communities learn to socialize a bit more. "Usually we only meet at play parties every few months", one friend said at a Femdom tea party recently, "it's nice to just sit and talk". Absolutely. Look at the types of events sol and I have been attending this year: not just play parties and educational events but kinky weddings, tea parties, formal dinners, etc.

It's nice to have like minded friends to socialize with (although let's be honest here, sometimes their political views can scare you witless). It's one of the reasons we wanted to set up our D/s retreat and eventually our kinky community. There are so few places kinksters can go to be themselves.

We are constantly asked when the retreat will be formally open, to the point where we are now organizing events (from CFNM tea parties to sub hunts to educational workshops to retreat programs for couples) BEFORE the opening lol. The event I get asked about most is the inaugural Dommes' Retreat we have planned for late 2009, when a small group of professional and lifestyle dominant women - at all levels of experience - will gather here for a long weekend towards the end of the year:


The Northern Rivers region is a beautiful part of Oz, and trips to local markets, national parks and beaches, even a famous local leather fetish workshop, are under consideration. However mostly we will sit around at the Retreat, catch up with old friends and make new ones, and share our knowledge and skills within a comfortable, relaxed environment. There are not many places left but if it's something you'd like to attend, or even just join the mailing list for future retreats, drop me a line via Fetlife.

For those reading this in other parts of the globe, all hope is not lost. As I said before, there appears to be a swing towards the organization of these types of social events. If one is not happening near you, then why not make it happen yourself? As for those reading this in North America you are in luck! In fact I sincerely envy you! Because there is a similar event planned for June 2009 by some extraordinary women whom I would dearly love to spent retreat time with:


The Mistresses Retreat is being organized by the reknown Mistress Cyan, Dona, partner of Lady Robin and Lady Robin. The retreat will be held at the latter's property "The Farm" in Kentucky:

'Rural, yes, remote, NO! 'The Farm' is located in south central KY only six (6) miles from the Cumberland Parkway and about half way between I-75 on the E and I-65 on the W. Facilities include, acres of fields and woods most of which is isolated from 'neighbors', highway traffic, and development. The retreat takes place on the
second floor of a newer building where there is a furnished apartment (living room, kitchen, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms though one is a dedicated medial room) complete with a separate dungeon which has it's own full bath. There is comfortable seating, several beds plus inflatable beds, and ample floor space. There
are two motels six miles away in one town and two more in the next nearest town which is eleven miles away. We ask (urge) Mistresses to plan to stay at
'The Farm' so as to facilitate interaction, growth, and fellowship.

It sounds very similar to the setup here at Nostromo, except in our case we are all in one large open plan area.

What's happening at The Mistresses Retreat? Well, similar to the event in Oz, YOU as an attendee will be a part of the creation of it's program:

"We want to make sure that every woman who attends this Retreat learns something and will leave after the weekend much more enriched than when she arrived. So, rather than set a pre-set agenda, we ask that every woman, upon registering, submit two questions or topics, you want covered during The Mistresses Retreat, and a short bio. The point of this retreat is to learn from each other. A more detailed agenda will be created from the questions and topics you submit, and will be published as we get close to the dates of The Mistresses Retreat."

This makes the event perfect for any American new female dominants reading this post - just imagine what your two questions might be. Lady Robin has also created a group for the Mistresses Retreat on Fetlife and there is also an events page. We'll do the same once the dates are confirmed.

I look forward to hearing how The Mistresses Retreat goes. It sounds like a lot of fun will be had at both events. Let's hope many similar ones are soon scheduled.

Thank you: Mistress Cyan
