Now that I’ve hit my quota of eyecandy for the day, it’s time for some thinking. Dear more-experienced-people-than-me: what is this bdsm(&m) lark, anyway?
Just a small question. I’m sure we can get to the bottom of it before bedtime.
All the terms are so fuzzy, and interlinked, and subjective, and sometimes we throw them round interchangeably [...]

What is bdsm?

Really more Wolverine

Not that I’m obsessive or anything.
Well, it looks like I can’t embed Yahoo Video on WordPress without a plugin, which I can’t be arsed to look into, but I can link. Linky linky. Here are the videos I promised Ranat a few posts back:
Wolverine stabbing himself in the chest and then letting Rogue suck the [...]
Mansub poster boy of the day: Johnny Castle
Posted in Desperation, Mansub poster boy of the day, Men in emotional pain, sordid on November 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Another boy from the wrong side of the tracks relying on his body to make a living. Dancing is Johnny’s only marketable skill, and he’s poorly paid even for that. He depends on the ‘generosity’ of wealthy, powerful older women, who only want him for his body, paying him to dance with them, and sometimes [...]
Eh?

So, my mouse strayed (lovingly) over the picture of Sharpe in the previous post, and up popped a little preview window (as the image was linked), along with some text link ads. They read: Intimacy… Older Women… Calligraphy… Apprentice… Eros…
Ladies and gentleman, that’s how the adbots see my blog.
And it all seemed perfectly reasonable, too, [...]
Masochistic mansub poster boy of the day: Major Richard Sharpe

Richard Sharpe is a big, tough, rough-and-tumble, suffering (half anti-) hero. He’s been constantly crapped on since day one. His mother was a whore, he grew up in an orphanage, and joined the army (his body being his only means of making a living, and we know how I feel about that) hoping to die [...]
Hurt/Comfort: where are the lines?

You know, h/c is such a popular genre of fanfic (and not just the slashy variety) that perhaps we can conclude that mild sadism is actually very common in women. H/c is the socially acceptable face of sadism: the variety where we’re not the ones doing the hurting. Is that social rule the only thing [...]
Pretty assassins and puddles

As YouTube stymied my naked-bloody-Wolverine plans (we’ll see if Yahoo video are less fussy), today I present for your delectation pretty men getting it on in a puddle.
The plot, if you care, is that pretty man A is an assassin and was hired to grab pretty man B and bring him back to be killed. [...]
More Wolverine… or not

As Ranat mentioned a particularly nice Wolverine moment, I thought I’d go and dig it out. And then I noticed the bit afterwards, where he brings Rogue back by letting her suck the life out of him. All really good evidence of BJ’s assertion that heroism and masochism are close colleagues. So many heroes seem [...]
Beyond the Hills

I just had to pause to pimp up this blog. Ranat seems to be wrestling with similar stuff to me, only has reached the point of actually physically experimenting with it.
Plus, pretty pictures.
Ranat, I think I love you.
And oh! The hurting and the healing. Yes! As a child I always loved those movies and shows [...]
Bye bye bye

Wow, I really am working hard to destroy my credibility here.
Yes, I know, it’s Nsync. (Or should that be NSync? N’Sync? I’ve no idea.) But it appeals to me. Those poor, fragile little guys, running around trying to break their strings and escape their tormentor, summoning up the courage to leave [...]
