FOUND: Tokugawa sexploitation
For you hardcore sadists.... A Japanese movie that was marketed in Germany (poster and still below). The entry for Tokugawa on IMDB says it was released in the 1968 (!), under different names. In English, as "The Joy of Torture." Lots of B-movie sites have commentary (along with academic sites talking about the real and historical Tokugawa.) Apparently a vivid and vicious depiction of female life in a Tokugawa Shogunate (before modern Japan). Anyone ever come across this before? Seems to be one of a number of Japanese sexploitation films about this shogunate's treatment of women.

Redbook survey says anal sex is hot
Remember those old cigarette ads that claimed "you've come a long way, baby."
Well holy crap, you KNOW we have when Redbook's willing to publish a survey that shows America's gone ass-wild - and when a college paper picks up the story (with some great quotes from the lovely Carol Queen). Check it out.
Anal sex is sweeping the nation. Once the domain of sweaty, buff men plowing each other in the corners of bathhouses, ass-pounding is now moving to the mainstream.
In a survey of 100,000 women printed in Redbook magazine, 43 per cent had taken it in the caboose from their partner. Of those, 40 per cent liked it..

Beboxed once more
Quick update and apologies to regular readers and emailers. My laptop power box fizzled out on me late last week and though we did manage to wiggle and jiggle it back to life, it was not very happy about it. I had to keep it delicately positioned in one location in the house lest the short in the wire short permanently. Since the laptop usually goes wherever I go, like a prosthetic limb, being forced to keep it in one spot while I, by necessity, had to do stuff in different rooms, meant I couldn't happily multitask my way through dinner or family time or episodes of The Wire (Will's current obsession.) But the new box finally arrived this morning, so mobility is once more an option!
There have been a couple of big BDSM-related stories, and a bunch of you have sent me the links in hopes I'll cover it. I will, I will. Just need to catch up on email and then will get back to ranting, raving, and otherwise blog-viating asap.

If only her prudish nightmare could come true
Reading Boston's Edge about an anti-gay spokesperson's hysterical rant against a new bill to grant rights to TGs, it occurred to me that it might actually be a better world if Contrada's worst fears were realities.
via EdgeBoston.com:
"This bill is about a woman who decides to have her breasts removed and parade as a ’male’ in the street, with her scarred chest bared. Now, such things happen only in ’gay’ neighborhoods or ’pride’ events. Soon, you could see a de-breasted woman walking around a suburban neighborhood or family beach, just as men now do, without a shirt - and you will not be able to complain because it’s ’gender expression.’ Since she identifies as a male, she is a male, and she’s no longer a female bearing her breasts - which are no longer there in any case. And you will have to ’celebrate diversity’ and tell your little daughter that she, too, might grow up some day and not have breasts."
"A hotel or convention site will not be allowed to turn down a transgender/cross-dresser or BDSM (whips & chains, sadomasochism) convention. A restaurant will not be able to turn away a special party for she-male prostitutes and their clients, or cross-dressers. A museum or library will not be allowed to turn away a GLBT activist seminar promoting BDSM, public nudity, public sex, or legalized prostitution. A function facility will not be allowed to refuse a seminar on breast removal and hormone treatments for women ’transitioning’ to men. A Catholic church could even be forced to hold a forum on homosexual or transsexual ’marriage’ or polygamy. These behaviors and activities could all be considered ’gender expression’ and these venues are could all be considered ’public accommodations.’"

The other day I asked "how low can Clinton go?" The wondrous Rachel Madow answers the question (on the subject of Clinton's recent praise of McCain) on Keith Olberman. Watch till the end for Madow's telling words. This is for "q" and for all you voters in Texas and Ohio today.

How low can Clinton go?
I've avoided talking politics like the plague ever since the last presidential election. But I can't stand it anymore.
For those who've wondered, let me just say up front, I am all about Mr. Obama. The idea of having a brilliant, calm, dignified and articulate president after 8 years of unrelieved jabbering ideological idiocy is balm to my nerdy soul. I'll have more to say in months to come unless y'all start screaming at me about how I should stick to sex and sex only--which, after all, is why most of you do come here.
Still, I was kinda delighted by the news that Kenyans may impose a fine of a cow or a camel on Hillary for trying to smear Obama with that photo of him honoring his Kenyan ancestral roots.
Kenyan elders may impose a fine on U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, payable in livestock, after a photo of her rival Barack Obama in robes dragged their people into the race for the White House...
Obama has battled a whispering campaign by fringe elements who wrongly say he is Muslim and his aides accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering" after the photograph was published.
Wajir elders resolved to file an official complaint with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, dropping earlier plans to hold a protest after Friday prayers.
They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.
LINK
Two quick comments:
1. Good for you, Kenyan elders, who saw right through the massive pile of bullshit that desperate Clinton-ites keep trying to heap on Mr. Obama, and are taking a stand against being exploited by her campaign. If Mrs. Clinton never donned traditional garb anywhere she's a lousy diplomat for America.
2. Shame on you, Mrs. Clinton, for showing your ass time and again throughout this campaign. You have become one with that "vast right wing conspiracy" you once blamed for your slippery-dicked husband's demise -- campaigning on smear, innuendo, and outright lies against your opponent. I started out this political season figuring I'd be voting for you and have now reached a point where I can't stand the sight or sound of you. What's the difference between the Clinton Machine and the Bush Machine now? Hell if I know.

Erotic Art Show: B Movie Bondage
Hollywood, oh Hollywood, and the happy crappy B-studios which serve all the cheese you can eat. Tens of thousands of posters, publicity stills, and lobby cards were designed with bondage-loving audiences in mind. Make that "vanilla" bondage-loving audiences, because these movies were not the product of fetish studios: indeed, most of them were going after Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blow from the Midwest - and Junior too.
If I had the time or money, I would love to collect and catalogue ALL the bondage/SM themed movie memorabilia I could find. Not because they have serious artistic merit. Not even because the pictures are a turn on. But I feel there is a fascinating sexological statement being made every time a studio directs (or allows) publicity artists to single out the bondage scene. For one, as disappointed perverts quickly learn after seeing most of these films, sometimes it was the ONLY bondage scene in the whole movie, and it flipped by in 15 seconds. This suggests that publicists and producers knew the "money shot" that would garner attention would depict something sadomasochistic. Equally interesting, a lot of these posters and lobby cards were produced for public consumption during times nearly identical shots in adult magazines got publishers busted on obscenity charges.
As a kid, I lived for Saturday afternoons, when local stations ran old cheesy B movies about pirates and cowboys and Roman soldiers and criminals and harem keepers -- and all their helpless, humiliated, bound captives. Until I was able to get my hands on the real stuff as an adult, this was as close as I came to SM porn in my sheltered youth. As they say, hurray for Hollywood!
Here is a minuscule sampling of tasty treats from the endless trove. I'll start with two from the 1930s.

Erotic Art Friday - 02/29/08: Entertaining Fetishes
Today and next week, I'm going to be running a series of sometimes fun, sometimes sizzlingly hot, sometimes totally sleazy collections of movie memorabilia -- lobby cards, posters, and publicity stills -- which have exploited SM fantasies and fetishes to attract audiences and win fans.
(And if you're wondering WHY SM/fetish fantasies are so frequently exploited by so-called vanilla types...well, DUH. They may not admit it but everyone gets a massive hormonal jolt when looking at kinky play.)
I'm starting with a sweet little selection of movie stars, with an emphasis on yesteryear. These days, it seems every starlet in Hollywood has appeared in fetish outfits but for some of the oldies-but-goodies here, they were either breaking new ground when they posed, breaking stereotypes (check out Cher!), and basically making us drool because we never expected to see them in such shiny, leathery, bondage-y fetishwear. Well, except for Diana Riggs, who we wished we could see in even more of that stuff. I've thrown in a small handful of some more recent stars (such as Cristina Ricci and Angelina Jolie) because, what can I say, they looked so damn hot when they were young and...reckless!
This particular Celebrity Fetish show is totally Safe for Work, so though I'm sticking the show behind the cut, this is one time when you won't necessarily have to hide your screen while you browse. Not true of the lobby cards and posters I'll be sharing either later today or next week (or possibly both). But for now, enjoy and if someone gets nosy and tries to see what you're looking at, you can say, "But, sheesh, it's just Cher!"
Of course, this is Cher as you may never have seen her but still...

Ah, Angelina, we hardly know ye anymore...

Mrs. Michael Douglas, aka Catherine Zeta-Jones, who I'm thinking knows how to keep MD in his place:

OK, Cindy Crawford would look good in a schmata but she is a dream in latex.

Cristina Ricci as a young and very fine dominatrix. I mean movie actress. Two awesome shots.


The one and only Emma Peel. Oh Diana!

And, just so you know Emma wasn't the only one getting tied up on The Avengers', Ms. Linda Thorson.

Gina Gershon all 1980s'd up.

The classic Jane Seymour in classic leather.

Check out the hair on Morgan Fairchild!

Did I mention that some younger actresses are here just because they're HOT? Take Rebecca Romijn. (but not before I'm done with her, please)

Remember when Sybil Danning was HOT? This will remind you.

I think Tawny Kitaen was trying a little too hard, don't you?

Nor have I forgotten the men -- though it's way harder to find anything but male stars in the same black leather jackets again and again, ho hum. But Mel Gibson, in his fetus years, was dishy.

And the scene where Lawrence of Arabia gets anally raped lives on forever in most perverts' minds -- particularly as depicted by the unbearably beautiful young Peter O'Toole.

But for the most part, the best kink/bondage/fetish exploitation of men is usually found in the old Westerns, when tough men like Richard Widmark get what's coming to them.

Saved by the Will
After hours of talking with Dell tech support (no luck on quick fixes from them), searching the house for a compatible power brick (no luck there either), and plunging into an Existential despair as I contemplated technological Being and Nothingness...Will applied some expert wiggly-jiggly moves to the wire connecting box to wall, and, presto!, the juice came back. BLINK. So much for the high tech remedies our Jen helpfully googled. Reminded me of seeing my dad mess with the tv antenna as a kid: "jiggle it a little to the right---no, the left, no the right, you've almost got it....ah, you've got it!" (Wondering how many of you Innanet chillun know that once upon a time tv's came with antennae that generally required you spend almost as much time jiggling them as you got to spend watching a clear picture.) Anyway, not sure if it will last or how long but for the moment, I've got a happy little green light glowing and a charged up laptop again. WHEW. The hair stood up on the back of my neck to think I might have to go without my laptop for three days. That's like telling someone in intensive care that their oxygen will be turned off for the weekend, and would they just try not to breathe until Monday. I await the day when there's a data storage center in the sky and we never have to worry about crashes again. Come to think of it, I await the day when my laptop's reduced to a chip implanted in my arm, powered by by brain so I don't even have to type to record my thoughts for writing projects.
Meantime, I need to be super-cautious and keep the laptop as stationary as possible. Keeping the little dogs from dancing all over the wires in a frenzy to schmear doggie saliva on the Mother Figure's face might help too. (Yep, when the Internet farts, wise pet owners blame the dog.) New power brick should arrive Monday. Meanwhile I'm thinking maybe it's time to get a backup laptop because this is the second time in the last few weeks that a piece of my laptop went kerplewie.
Sorry to bore you with such a pedestrian tale of woe. Shall try and catch up later today (it's already Friday morning, just obscenely early or obscenely late, depending on your POV) with some erotic art but if the show doesn't happen today, think of me staring moodily into the distance, in Hamlet mode. To be or not to be --that's not the question. The question is how soon I can get back on-line.

Laptop emergency
Well, sheesh, one problem after another. The adaptor on the laptop just died suddenly. Completely suddenly. I have exactly 1 hour of juice left and am using it to talk to tech support.
So this may be the last you hear from me, dear readers, until...MONDAY! Agh! At least that's what they're saying right now. I will do everything possible to get back online asap but oh dear me. Not looking good right now.
Email, art show, everything else has to go on hold. So sorry.

Boobs for bulls
The latest PETA protest required girls to go topless to draw attention to the plight of the bulls at Pamploma.

Not that I'm objecting to nudity in public places. Wish there was more of it. But where are the naked men? If boobs can bobble for bulls, balls should too!

Poll: women really are ball busters
Really fascinating poll which asks women (only) to confess their attitudes about ball torture - crushing, squeezing, etc. The poll is NOT directed at pervs, which IMO, makes it even more revealing. (Quick flash: an awful lot of women seem to get a guilty kick out of giving men a squeeze - whether the men like it or not.)
Someone remind me and I'll give you my $10 opinion on the results -- just too hammered with work today to write anything in depth now. Meanwhile, enjoy the data for yourself. Very telling. (And by all means, if you'd like to opine on why so many women like to see men squirm, the soapbox is yours.)
Mister Poll: Testicle fondling, slapping, etc (for women).
