ErosBlog posts containing ""Mistress Matisse""
April 8th, 2021 -- by Bacchus
I’m late to this party, but better late than never. In my defense, the article I missed in late March when it came out is on a site I don’t read about a show on a streaming service I don’t subscribe to. Only it’s much more than that! A dominatrix explains why documentaries about sex work never get it right is media criticism about depictions of sex work, by our own Mistress Matisse, who in her varying roles (sex worker, blogger, porn model, activist, columnist, Twitterer) has about fifty mentions in the back pages of ErosBlog. It would be unfair to describe her article as a rant; it’s too controlled, as befits somebody who hits people for a living and makes them like it. But it is… shall I say “pointed”?
A single mother of color, quitting her minimum-wage job and choosing instead to support herself by making porn videos of herself at home, while her children sleep in the next room? That is simply an intolerable idea to people whose wealth depends on obedient low-wage workers…
You may laugh at the notion that patriarchal capitalism is that worried about people having alternatives to low-wage service jobs – but patriarchal capitalism has no fucking sense of humor. Women profiting from their own bodies is both a social and economic threat to the system, so it must be punished.
Did I say media criticism? Well, yeah, that too. But as I read her, Matisse’s main point is a trenchant social criticism. “We” (our society and the media that voices for it) can’t talk about sex work with honesty and kindness because sex work threatens too many comfortable hypocrisies. A just society would have nothing to fear from sex work, nor any need to horribilize sex workers.

The scary thing is I know so many people who actually do cling to this delusion:
Persist in the delusion that you can elicit love and avoid pain by keeping your partner leashed and muzzled like a bad dog. Because that’s always worked out perfectly for everyone who’s ever tried it, right?
From here.

It’s not every day that one of my favorite and longest-running sidebar-linked sex bloggers does a porn shoot with my favorite porn production company. In fact, it’s never happened before. So, I’m delighted to announce that Mistress Matisse’s shoot for Kink.com (at their Everything Butt site) has finally gone live.
Now, mind you, given our long virtual association, it would strike me as a little bit weird to show you the closeups of Mistress Matisse cheerfully shoving a huge black dildo up Bobbi Starr’s butt, no matter how much of a hottie you think Bobbi might be (which she totally is). And, to be honest, the free photos and trailer from the shoot don’t show us as much of Mistress Matisse as I was hoping for. As is typical, the focus in a Kink.com shoot is on the submissive in a large majority of the pictures. Fortunately, as a stalwart affiliate I get some extra perks, including member access to the shoots when I need it. Which is how I can bring you Mistress Matisse in living color [note: the Everything Butt image I had here at first has been replaced, at her gracious but emphatic request, by a different image she provided, because she thought the EB image unflattering]:
Here [we return now to the originally-scheduled Everything Butt photos] she is in the world’s most barren office, hard at work with the cutting-edge info tech of the early twentieth century:
Whatever her job, though, you cannot argue with perks that include Bobbi Starr:

So I was looking at the Best Of Blog nominations (because somebody told me ErosBlog was on there, albeit in a mystifying category with a horrifying and ridiculous scarlet-letter disclaimer after our name.) I was delighted to discover that the enormously entertaining Mistress Matisse is a finalist in the best sex blog category.
Now, obviously I like her blog a lot, or it likely wouldn’t be at the very top of my sex blog list. (Lower down, position doesn’t mean anything; but blogs near the top are all ones much liked by Aphrodite, The Nymph, or me.) Matisse combines an entertaining writing style I can’t even manage to dream of having with a commendable willingness to write about her own personal and professional exploits, which are (from the perspective of a country boy like me) themselves rather eye-opening. The combination ensures that her blog is the first link I click every morning when I open my blog. I therefore commend her to your voting finger. You know what to do.
What? Not convinced yet? Smart and funny don’t do it for ya? So you’re one of those horndogs who wouldn’t cast a vote for Pope without shouting “show us yer tits” first? We got ya covered:

If Matisse doesn’t do it for you, there are other worthy candidates on the sex blog list, including at least one set of old blogfriends that would be very close in the contest for my fickle affections if they only posted more regularly. (Hi, Mike-and-Michelle!) But I promise you, there’s nobody else on that sex blog list who would make a better Queen of The Sex Bloggers….

Coming in just under the Saturday wire, my first Share Our Shit Saturday post of 2018 with a focus on sex workers and products:
- Liara Roux (“Professional bisexual cutie & indie porn director/producer” says her Twitter profile, “Your Travel Sized Sweetheart” says her website) is someone that I knew I owed a favor, because of her tweets at the right time that got me up to speed on the slow-rolling Patreon #pornocalypse stuff. In that moment she was just a Twitter handle to me; I didn’t know her from Adam’s off ox, and could not have picked her out of a photo lineup at a drunk tank. Eventually I discovered that she was posting catch-your-breath cute photos on Twitter. Her breaks-all-the rules, video-animated, music-playing website is the most persuasive example of a professional woman’s anchoring web presence I have encountered, but be warned: it’s mesmerizing. It’s lucky I’m not a rich man, else I might soon be a rather poorer one.
- In case you have somehow missed it, one of my oldest blogfriends Mistress Matisse has masterminded and is marketing an intimacy-enhancing cannabis-based sensual lube called Velvet Swing. Currently only available at select legal cannabis retailers in the state of Washington, so I don’t in-person know anybody with experience of the product. But Mistress Matisse has just about the lowest bullshit-quotient of any sex worker I’ve ever encountered on social media, and she’s convinced me that she poured her heart into creating and getting this stuff onto the market. I believe in her and she believes in Velvet Swing, and that’s good enough for me.
- Adroitly multitasking camgirl Haylee Love manages two dildos, a buttplug, and a vibrator, while rocking a collar and cat ears. Sheerest talent, gentlemen, on display at Sensual Liberation Army.

I have this little theory in which I apportion some of the blame for our culture’s hatred of sex workers. The people I apportion it to: sexually-manipulative wives. In my most recent expression of it, I wrote:
A long time ago in the context of a discussion about porn, I advanced a theory about the historical antipathy between wives and sex workers. This theory seemed so uncontroversial to me that I didn’t think it needed expanding, explaining, or defending; rather, it was the rock-solid background against which I set my argument about porn. Here’s what I said in 2003:
Some women object to porn the way wives object to the idea of prostitutes, and for the same reason: it means they have to use actual sex, rather than their erstwhile monopoly over the possibility of access to sexual stimulus, in order to maintain and enjoy the sexual attention of their men.
Mistress Matisse has another theory. If following the money is an analytic principle that seems wise to you, then her theory may have considerable appeal:

When I first saw this Wally Wood cartoon that sex-spoofs The Wizard Of Oz, I was reminded of Mistress Matisse’s advice from 2001 (and from 2004 and from 2005 and from whenever anybody will listen to it):
Don’t say, “I will do anything you want, Mistress!” Believe me, I can easily think of things you would not want to do.
It’s equally dangerous to say “I enjoy all sorts of perversions.” It could even be fatal, and not just in the funny books:
