Uplifting Bondage Art
Don’t you think that art should be uplifting? Certainly I think that art should be uplifting!
Here, via Bondage Blog, is some bondage art that is inarguably uplifting. Just look at it! Why, it’s uplifting that poor bound woman’s nipples very effectively!
The uplifting artwork is by Leone Frollo.

Femdom, Foot Fetish, And Feederism
This 1970s Japanese illustration should somehow get extra points for combining femdom, feederism, and foot fetishes while casually working in bondage and smoking:

Old Astronomer, Ancient Pickup Line
You hate to see that sort of thing at this level of play, but yes, my friends, he really did it. He invited her up to his observatory because, he said, the conditions were perfect for “observing Uranus.” And so there she is, over his lap with no pants on:

Why Straight Men Hate Astrology: ErosBlog Edition
ViceUK has an article currently bringing in the hate-clicks under the title Why Straight Men Hate Astrology So Much. No link for them! Do they conclude that it’s because astrology is total bollocks, like homeopathy and Gwyneth Paltrow’s jade pussy eggs? Nope nope nope! Instead they claim that astrology has become a gendered belief structure, important disproportionately to women and gay people, so (they argue) straight men belittle it for reasons of masculinity. Nothing to do with astrology being empty nonsense!
A problem with this theory: the evidence they cite for the existence of a gendered disparity in the popularity of astrology suggests that the numbers only began to diverge along gender lines a few years ago. Whereas the people in the reality-based community that I know have disparaged astrology as being dumber than flat-Eartherism for much much longer than that.
Here, let me show you the only solid astrological chart and horoscope you are ever going to see:
The chart is not mine, but it’s been floating around the internet since forever and I don’t have an attribution for it.

Using Porn Tubes As A Curatorial Resource
Although ErosBlog does not celebrate all that has resulted from the rise of the porn tubes, I want to highlight one useful thing that I’ve noticed about the large collection of porn video clips that proliferates on big specialized tubesites. I am utterly mad about porn provenance research, where often the hardest challenges are in video, because movies are much more ephemeral than images. Video hosting tends to go down faster and harder than image hosting, video is less likely to be archived anywhere, and video is much harder to search. The one place that video survives online after its producer goes out of business, and survives with some keywords and searchable tags, offering some prayer of tracking it down, is — you guessed it — tube sites.
Here are a couple of examples of ephemeral video that I recently found via tubes. By “ephemeral” I mean video from defunct producers or sources, no longer available anywhere, no longer an item of commerce. Are tubes arguably part of the reason this is so? Sure. But here, in this moment, they are also the only thing saving these bits from oblivion, which I find both interesting and useful.
This screenshot is from a Chinese rope bondage video, sourced (via its watermark) to a Chinese “rope art” (that’s the best that Google Translate can do) forum that no longer exists:
When it did exist, the forum prohibited “pornography, politics, advertising, and irrigation” — but that wasn’t enough to save it in today’s prurient China. We retain access to this video because of, love them or not, the tubes. I assume — I hope — that the bit about irrigation is a machine translation failure to communicate:
Here’s another example of tube curation for you. There was a hardcore BDSM site called Fucking Dungeon that went offline about five years ago. (The domain is currently advertising itself for sale). I’m not sure their videos aren’t in somebody else’s catalog now, but if so, Google isn’t admitting it. Here’s a screenshot of a BDSM sex scene from Fucking Dungeon with a pair of well-matched Russian girls who were marketed as the Russo twins:
As a curator and researcher, if I was starting with that screenshot, I’d have no prayer of finding the video source or identifying the clip without the “public clip library” function served by tubesites. Credit where credit is due!

Revenge Of The Amazons
You see a lot of pulp covers with rough men shaking whips at scantily clad women. But on this one, the women have all those men in a net, and it’s time for some Amazon femdom whip revenge:
