I looked at my calendar from this year, saw it was already October and realised that  next year’s one was almost due for production. I had been looking to do a collaboration with a new photographer and Lourdes Ribas of www.pixelstudi.com had already agreed to do the shoot. I was delighted when a date was set to do just that.

Then, I developed a cold and had to cancel. I was badly congested for days before developing an ear infection. Not only was I exhausted but one ear was completely blocked. I just didn’t feel kinky. Nevertheless, time was passing and the pressure on me began to build. Another date was fixed and I knew that I couldn’t cancel for a second time.

Even though part of me was still trying to talk myself out of it, I made myself go to the venue the second time. It took ages to pack my bag with a variety of essential accessories. More time than usual was spent on folding the stockings, packing the high heels and selecting the dresses that I would need. My main idea was to wear sheer dresses the wrong way round so that their open backs would allow my charms to be displayed more easily to the photographer.

Although I had only known Lourdes for a few months, the set dresser, Pepe von Strudel from www.vonstrudel.com, had been a friend of mine for years. I was so excited about being photographed in a set decorated for me, before I had even arrived, that my lack of energy was quickly forgotten. I reminded myself that I could also rely on a great make-up artist no matter what.

As it turned out, I needn’t have worried. The shoot was a lot of fun and the results speak for themselves. My new calendar is everything I wanted it to be and more. Each month and every page flaunts an exclusive and erotic image of me that provokes and tantalises the viewer with fantasy scenarios featuring lingerie, giant apples and even latex by MadRubb

I love having my portrait taken. I try to have new ones shot whenever I can. During this shoot I remembered an observation about my face that someone had made a few days before.They had pointed out that my features didn’t just change when I wore a mask as you might expect. When my face was covered I was transformed completely. I seemed to adopt an intense fetish look and flaunt an imaginary persona that was at odds with the real me.

I wanted a mask to wear for the photographer. The Mexican wrestler one that I had was packed away and would take too long to find. In desperation I searched through my modelling bag. I found my favourite crotchless bodystocking and I came up with a way to use it. This would be a new way to wear one but it would never have worked if it had been manufactured with a gusset.

As I tugged the mesh onto my face I experienced some strange sensations. It felt like I had a mask on but I knew that I was completely visible. I wasn’t perfectly recognisable though. My features were constrained and fixed. I imagined a type of facial BDSM where the act of bondage was applied to cheeks, noses and lips. I wanted to possess the features of an emotionless doll but with a fetish twist.

I tried to pout but I felt the tautness of the black mesh against my sensitive lips. The abrasive drag reminded me of the last time I wore fishnets without any panties. My full lips were made plumper and redder the longer the session went on. They rose up between the industrial gauge fishnet in little pillows.

There was pain mixed with pleasure as I tugged against the unyielding bodystocking. My full mouth was urged open and I had to be aware that I might be smearing lipstick against the roughness of the inner stocking. Something might rub off against my face without me knowing any different.

That days portraits worked out better than I could have imagined at the start of the shoot.

Even though the summer has faded, the effect of “50 Shades of Grey” still lingers. I’m sitting at my writing desk and I’m thinking about sex. Nothing unusual there you might think. It seems to me that everyone is caught up in the meaning and uses of BDSM in their own lives and relationships. Something has been forgotten in all of those TV discussions focused on strap-ons, handcuffs and spankings. I haven’t heard any debates recently about sex and humour. Have we forgotten how to be dirty in the bedroom and actually laugh while we are doing it?

I haven’t.

When I think back to those times when I was turned on and trying hard not to laugh I always end up remembering the same afternoon. It was the day I was being photographed by a tickle fetishist and my ankles were tied onto a horizontal metal bar while I was blind-folded and sitting on an office chair. The tight white panties I had chosen for the shoot would look scandalous I hoped.

Now that a reasonable amount of time has passed since the shoot I can appreciate just how unusual it really was. It was like a job at the time and I took it seriously. The photographer was committed to getting the most out of the session. He had rehearsed his tickling plans in perfect detail. When my stockinged legs were opened and raised  and the blindfold was fitted on my face I was defenceless.

I only remember how much I had laughed while the pictures were being taken.

The soles of my shoeless feet had never had such a workout. Hard tickles, soft tickles and slow caresses up and down. I bit my lip, clenched my teeth and tried to concentrate past the tickles but it was no use. All I did was giggle, laugh and scream with perverse delight when I least expected it. I could not pose or find my best angle. There was not any time or an opportunity to think about how I looked.

When I saw the finished pictures I couldn’t help laughing again.

Here are some of the unused selections from the photoshoot. This time they are in their original colour.

Last year had some real highlights when it came to British fetish. For me, the one that stood out the most was the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. If it was not William’s camp uniform that turned heads then it was Pippa Middleton’s derriere. It seemed like a hard act to follow.

This year exceeded all my expectations when it came to the promotion of British fetish. We had the London Olympics for a start. The highlight of the opening ceremony for me, and for most of the millions watching, was the appearance of the fictional James Bond (as played by Daniel Craig) in a scene starring The Queen playing herself. After the filmed set up we were treated to a live stunt that featured a stunt man in royal drag dropping into the olympic stadium with a Bond lookalike.
The Diamond Jubilee was a dream of British Fetish. When it comes to the allure of a fantasy world populated by aristocrats, princes and princesses nobody does it like Britain. For a while we could believe that we had gone back to a time when courtesy, deference and discipline was the norm and not the exception. Fetishism is about knowing your place in a hierarchy and enjoying the unequal distribution of power that follows from accepting that state of affairs. When the Queen’s reign was celebrated the world over, we all became subs.

The Summer of Sport and the Diamond Jubilee put together represented an unprecedented celebration of British culture. For an ex-pat, like myself, it meant a lot to be reminded of home in such style. Not to be outdone, I had my very own celebration of Britishness this year and it came in two fetish parts.

My book, Ingles Para Pervertidos, flaunted a Union Flag on its cover in the form of a blindfold I was wearing. Inside its pages I succeeded in presenting a fun and effective way to learn all those English words and phrases that any other teacher would refuse to teach you.

2013 promises to be an even more successful year for British fetish, courtesy of Venus O’Hara of course.

Although Fetish photography usually works best when it’s done in a controlled environment like a dungeon or a specially decorated studio, I like to push the boundaries. One way to do this is to perform discreetly in a public place like a pizza restaurant. Part of the fetish value can be found in the simple fact that it happens without the other customers realising that it is. Another advantage is that the event occurs halfway between a closed set and the outside world. There’s nothing quite like going outside for real though and shooting a fetish set where bystanders, voyeurs and joggers might catch a glimpse adds even more to the experience.

When I’m posing outside, I have no idea what might happen. Having an unknown number of people in the background is always a risk. They may, or may not, even be aware that something provocative might be happening before their eyes or just at the periphery of their vision. What made this shoot even more thrilling and intimidating was that it took place in an area of dense woodland.

That type of environment can attract and hide any number of onlookers. Some could be totally innocent. Others might have different reasons for being there. As I shed my clothes, my imagination began to suggest any number of perverse stories in my mind.

I’d planned the shoot well in advance and I thought that I had everything under control and all eventualities accounted for. Then, in the distance, or perhaps closer, I would hear someone walking their dog, throwing a ball and urging the animal to go and find it. That was when I knew I had nothing under control. This was strange but helpful in a strange way.

The shoot was an exploration of voyeurism and exhibitionism in a realistic setting. I would have my dress removed but keep my knee-length socks on. In the end I would be left topless, almost nude in fact. The photographer would provide the peeping Tom perspective at first. Then he would take the initiative and interact with me.That interaction would take the form of tying my wrists together, binding me to a tree with coils of rope and pretending to spank my bottom. His focus would be on my white panties as a symbol of my public vulnerability.

I understood quite quickly that I couldn’t dominate the situation at any level. Random chance and unforseen events dictated the fetishism in the final images. We went back indoors to complete the shoot and finish telling the story that had begun outside. I had control again but the excitement of being observed through the trees by the photographer, and anyone else who looked in our direction, was more than I could have hoped for.

It was just recently that a good friend made an observation about my fetish for blindfolds.
“It seems as though the main reason you wear blindfolds is so that you don’t have to see the men that you sleep with” She said.

I agreed that sometimes it was true, but that it wasn’t always that simple.

Since that night, I’ve been thinking about blindfolds a lot.

When my eyes disappear behind one, it isn’t just my ability to see that’s affected. With my eyes covered, I can immerse myself in a private fantasy world. A simple touch suddenly means so much more. What seems like just a relaxing caress from fingers I can see becomes thrilling and charged with excitement when it involves ones that I can’t. It’s impossible to anticipate their intention or predict their next movement when I’m behind the blindfold. I don’t need to think at all. I can be perfectly selfish and deliciously passive for a change.

I love mismatched underwear. After adding 15 new pairs of panties, and 8 new bras, to my collection, I had to sort out everything I had. All of the recent additions were Christmas and New Year presents from my fans. It was while I was putting them into piles of similar designs and styles that I had an idea.

That was a few weeks ago now and that’s also how long I’ve been posting a daily picture of myself, simultaneously, on Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and Flickr. I’ve been blogging my mismatched underwear choice of the day, everyday. It is my promise to myself that I’ll never knowingly wear the same pair of panties in two pictures during 2013.

Depending on the day, I can choose underwear that looks sultry or geeky, innocent or sensual. I have many pairs to choose from. A long time ago I came to the conclusion that I can never have enough panties. They are my obsession and my favourite kind of collection because they are pretty and practical.

It takes me longer to get dressed now but it is so worth it and I wonder just what everyone thinks of my selection for the day. Even I haven’t got 365 different pairs so I’m offering my fans the chance to contribute to the cause. If you want to see me in a specific pair of panties then you only have to buy them for me and I’ll be more than happy to oblige.

I would be even happier if I had more bras with nipple transparency to choose from as there are far too few in my underwear collection.

So join in the fun and participate. If it gets really popular then I might have to change my panties 3 or 4 times a day just to keep up with demand. Click here to see my Wish List on Amazon.

Introducing a little BDSM into your relationship can be a really great way to intensify things, learn your limits and become closer to your partner, but it can also be really intimidating–especially if you’ve never dabbled in it before.

Perhaps you’ve been kicking around this site for awhile or you just stumbled here after wondering what BDSM was really like, either way, you’re not alone if you’re worried. Beginning a BDSM adventure can be exciting, but it’s going to take communication, honesty, and an open mind.

Use this as your beginners guide and then continue to physically and intellectually explore your options.

Communication

Communication is key to having a successful and pleasurable BDSM relationship. You can’t dive in without discussing the semantics, rules, limits, and safe words. Make sure your partner has a full understanding of what BDSM will entail, what the different roles (dom/sub) mean and who will be who. It won’t work if you both want to be the sub or vice versa.

You will also need to discuss what your limits will be. Are you okay with anal play? Paddling? What level of pain or loss of control are you willing to go to? You want to make sure you are both on the same page. It’s fun to push limits, but you don’t want to push them so far that it becomes scary or someone gets hurt.

The best way to ensure no one gets hurt is to set up a safe word that you can use when one of you is approaching your limit. You want to steer clear of any word that would accidentally slip out in the heat of it all. Instead, pick a beign, random word like “blueberry” for instance. It will be easy to say and won’t be mistaken for anything else.

Experimentation

You can start experimenting once you have a clear understanding of safety and ground rules. Start off slow so the two of you can get use to the dynamic change and consider assigning names to each other, like Master and Slave (or something similar) to really solidify the roles.

For your first go-round, have the Dom tie the sub’s wrists together with something soft and familiar, like a scarf of tie. This will help get the sub comfortable with restraint without moving too far outside of their initial boundaries. Have the Dom use an additional scarf or tie to blindfold the sub, allowing the two of you can play with sensory perception. From there, the Dom should stick to pretty neutral sex acts, as you’ll just want to introduce a little bit of change at a time. The idea of letting go can be a lot for someone to handle, so proceed slowly.

Continue to add elements with each experimentation, such as name calling (to assert dominance), ice or feathers (for teasing), and whips (for pain). In the beginning, you’ll want to check in with each other to make sure you are both OK with what is happening and are equally enjoying it. One of you should not feel like you’re doing it to simply appease the other, this should be a relationship that you are both turned on by.

Upgrading

You can graduate to the big guns once you both feel comfortable with the tools you’ve been using. Consider going to a sex store like Adam and Eve and pick up a few intense toys like an actual whip, ben wa balls, a strap-on, collar, bed restraints or vibrator. You can also typically find prefabricated bondage kits that will make your selection easy.

Begin integrating your toys into your play and see how far you can push yourself. If this isn’t enough, include mandatory outfits, and shaming activities for the sub

Finally, consider branching out and meeting others like you in the community. This is a great way to learn about different techniques and styles as well as make new friends. You can look for meet up groups or join FetLife, a fetish oriented community website. And as always, let the Internet be your guide. Explore this Venus O’Hara for alternative ways to explore and different fetishes you can involve. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to always play safe, to keep communication open and to have fun. Because what’s the point if you’re not enjoying it?

Orgasm denial is the best way to deal with rebellious slaves. If a dominant is clever then there are wonderful ways to make someone suffer without physical pain ever being needed. O.D. is still the most satisfying option available to me.

I went to Ikea one afternoon to have a look around and investigate the latest range of headboards. I never know when I’m going to need a really strong one so its best to do some research. I walked around the bedding area and felt a little bored to tell the truth. The typical crowds you find in that place were beginning to irritate me with their docile browsing.

On a whim, I decided that it was time to end my slave’s period of Orgasm Denial in spectacular fashion right then and there. He had been placed on it for six days and was really starting to suffer. It was great. I sent him an SMS with the codeword “Now”. He understood the rules perfectly. No matter where he was, no matter what he was doing, he had to masturbate immediately.

I stood aside from the crowd and, almost at once, he called me back. I heard his belt buckle hit the floor closely followed by his trousers and underwear. He carried lube around with him just in case. I heard the slaps and squelches as he got to work on himself. As I smiled to the husbands and wives as they shuffled past me I listened to the sighs of my slave. Those sighs became moans.

It didn’t take him long to come and, as I listened in the crowded shopping space, the relief I could hear through my ‘phone made me shudder with pleasure. Having an orgasm is one of the greatest pleasures that there is and its even better when it’s forbidden, especially by me. My slave recovered his senses and thanked me over and over again. He promised not to make the same mistake.

Honestly, I’d forgotten what his initial crime had been.

His gratitude, when I ended his punishment, meant everything.

Some say that it is my best feature. So, if you fancy some virtual ass worship practice then make sure you are sitting comfortably because I am about to begin.

Ass worship is a variety of body worship practised by individuals who get turned on by another person’s ass. Ass worshippers focus on the size of an ass, its shape, colour, texture and the best types of clothing that emphasise its importance even more. Tight jeans or leggings are recommended for visual ass worship in public places.

Apart from the visual appreciation of an amazing ass, worshippers can indulge their passion with a range of manual techniques that increase their tactile awareness of its quality. These methods can include, massage, kissing, licking and spanking.

Ass worship can include the veneration of the entire rectal area as well. An extension of this is anilingus, or anal-oral sex. Slang terms include “rimming” or a “rim-job”. This is a form of oral sex that requires repeated contact between the anus or perineum of one person and the lips or tongue of another.

Spanking is by far the best way to express ass worship in my opinion. It’s always best to warm up the area first, and then build up the pressure gradually. Alternating spanks with carresses and licks is also particulary thrilling.

For those virtual ass worshippers out there, who need some help to get started, here’ are some pictures of my ass.

Cyberslave is a short film that tells the story of a struggling dominatrix and her relationship with Slave X. It explores the dynamics of a D/s relationship, Financial Domination, virtual relationships, during the current economic crisis.. …. But who is the slave?

This is the first time I have taken to scriptwriting, I hope you enjoy it!

I have always questioned the power dynamics in a D/s relationship when there is money involved. I’ve always believed that the person who pays is the one in charge. Especially if the money is used for everyday living costs, and therefore the dominatrix relies on her slaves’ contributions to live. This calls into question who really has the power. In Cyberslave I wanted to explore the how a financial domme tries to maintain control of her slave and herself, despite her total lack of control over her own situation.

Latex and leather don’t usually go together. They are completely different fetishistic materials but are just as significant, in their own way, as each other. They have their own distinctive appeal and set of associations. Leather is a natural substance that usually has a matte appearance. Latex is always shiny and requires constant maintenance and touch-ups to keep it that way. It is a manufactured material, designed and produced for its fetishistic value.

I began this photo-set wearing latex lingerie supplied to me by Madrubb just for that reason. The form-fitting latex panties were high legged and high-waisted. They did amazing things for my derriere. The cupless latex bra made my breasts look totally different and much fuller. Both items clung closely to my skin. So close, in fact, that if I closed my eyes I could be forgiven for thinking that I was naked in front of the photographer.

We had to stop the shoot regularly so that shiner could be applied to the latex to guarantee its glossiness under the lights. This started as an annoying routine and became a satisfying ritual as the pictures went on. I could feel the shiner through the latex. It was cool and made my skin tingle every time it was used. If it had been hotter in the room it would have meant more shiner and more breaks.

Inbetween set-ups I had to slip on a leather coat to cover my exposed shoulders and breasts. I stood there, flaunting latex lingerie and wearing leather. The coat stopped me shivering and suggested an idea to me. It was so obvious.

“What next?” The photographer asked.

“Latex and leather, of course” I replied “Lets do it now!”

Latex and leather really went together.

Why don’t you see for yourself?

I could never truly appreciate how much physical effort a man puts in to having sex until I had experienced strap-on sex. I wonder if this is the reason why few women are really committed to having strap-on sex. There is another explanation for this. A woman who has to wear a harness, just so that she can use a dildo on another woman, might not enjoy playing such a traditionally masculine role in bed. I have to admit that I prefer to be on the receiving end in strap-on sex. This is especially true when I imagine a female lover who can offer me a penis that is permanently hard as well as a pair of breasts simultaneously.

That is the fantasy scenario that attracts me.

The reality of strap-on sex can be a little different.

It is still a challenge to find a good quality harness matched up to a suitable dildo. Harnesses can be difficult to put on and to wear for any length of time without rubbing against the skin. I also find that unsecured dildos slide around too much and are far too large for any sustained use. From a practical point of view, the shaft is also positioned a lot higher than it would be with a real man. Anyway, if I have to walk around a room with a long length of stiff silicon bouncing up and down between my legs I can not be blamed if I start laughing about it.

If I’m going to play the girl in strap-on sex then I always insist that my lover puts a condom on the dildo that she is going to put inside me. Some lesbians wonder what difference that makes. I don’t trust the material that dildos are made of and that goes for every other sex toy as well. Condoms guarantee a high level of cleanliness and that simple fact is important to me, particularly if toys are going to be shared.

Strap-on sex can be great fun, but the truth is that there is nothing like the real thing.

Some people seem to think that my life must be scandalous. This might be because I write articles about sex. It could be something to do with my habit of being wired-up, from time to time, as a test-subject for scientific sex experiments. It might be because I appeared nude on the cover of Interviu magazine, or even as a result of my side-career testing sex toys for money. I do not believe that anything related to these exploits is truly scandalous however.

In my opinion, aspects of my previous, conventional, jobs exposed me to far more scandal than anything I could ever be responsible for.
The thing I found the most scandalous about my past jobs was being expected to lie while I was in contact with a customer or a client. I never did, of course. Even if my manager told me to. I was always on the side of the buyer. If I had made promises to a customer then I was going to make sure that we, as a company, fulfilled those promises. Sometimes this meant whipping my colleagues into shape so they did their job.

When I worked in luxury real estate, the scandal was even worse. The whole business was based on lies. The property descriptions, the photographs, the prices, the offers… all of it was exaggerated or made up. The worst thing of all was when a client made an offer and there was no counter-bid. In that case, I was expected to lie about one so that the buyer would have to raise their offer.

My conscience made it impossible for me to do this and I always refused. There were times when I knew, for a fact, that the only funds that a buyer had available to them were their life savings. If I lied to them, just to get more money, then the guilt would have stayed with me. Perhaps that is the result of my Catholic upbringing. I wonder how other real estate agents handle their professional scandals?

Private scandals are no different, not really. Sometimes the effort and planning it takes to hide spontaneous indiscretions or maintain longer term infidelities amazes me. It is choosing to live a life that includes a permanent percentage of scandalous sexual behaviour that never fails to fascinate. People who lead a double life, and who want to admit it anonymously, is my favourite subject of study. It was why I created the online confessional forum No sabes con quien duermes.

When I take into consideration all the lies that people live, whether in their working life or in their private ones, I realise that my life is not scandalous at all.

Condoms turn me on, they really do. Can it be that I’m the only one who thinks this way?

For some men, the moment when they have to pause their amorous enthusiasm can be awkward. It might not surprise you when I admit that I relish that very same moment. I like to take the initiative and establish my complete control over him. Suddenly, the man relaxes and watches me as I take every care to make sure the condom is fitted on him properly.

I don’t tolerate the usual wealth of excuses that men deploy to avoid using condoms. Those tired justifications have been superceded by advances in latex technology which promote sensitivity, a greater appreciation of sexual health issues which place an equal amount of responsibility on both partners to protect against STIs and just plain commonsense when it comes to avoiding unplanned pregnancy. Condoms are sexy because I can put my rational concerns to one side and really let myself go.

I have a brand preference, of course. Doesn’t everybody? In my case I will always favour Durex Avanti. I know that you have to pay a little more but, in my opinion, they are worth every penny. They are made out of polyurethane instead of the traditional latex. Not only are they more resilient and have the added advantage of being thinner than other brands but they also transmit a greater percentage of body heat. With all these added extras, is it any surprise that I live by a simple sexual equation: No Condom=No Penetrative Sex.

There are some fetishistic uses for condoms as well. When I see a hard penis wearing coloured latex it seems as if it’s dressed up in bondage gear and ready for action. Some men prefer to masturbate while wearing a condom. This is what’s known as a “posh wank” and it can have a fetish thrill all of it own at the same time as cutting down on the time spent cleaning up afterwards.

I love condoms so much that I even use them with sex-toys when I am testing them professionally or using them at my leisure. Although sex-toy manufacturers underline the point that modern materials are suitable for “barebacking”, I still need to be convinced. A condom guarantees hygiene and covers-up that new sex-toy smell that puts me off sometimes.

I’m convinced that there must be some people out there love condoms just as much as I do.

As a model, I’d become used to the process of posing for a photographer, having a great many shots taken of me and then waiting for those images to be taken away on a portable drive and sorted through by someone else. When I could see them finally, so a final selection could be made, a week or a fortnight had gone by.

There’s something liberating about taking nude selfies of myself instead. I can have complete control over the creative process, setting and time.  I can see the images at my leisure and, if I didn’t quite get what I wanted, I can take a few minutes out and repeat the process without taking too much time. Once, I had hundreds of pictures taken just to get a handful of ones that I approved of. Now, knowing exactly what I want, the same result can be arrived at with hardly any effort at all.

With the sophistication of smartphone technology these days, and the increasingly high-quality of the cameras they contain, it is possible for anyone to be a glamour model. An arousing shot of a provocative pose can be captured in an instant and sent to lovers on whatsapp. A sexy selfie can be posted on Twitter just as quickly.

When I strip and pose to shoot my “Good Morning” pictures I know that just after, I’ll be putting my hoodie back on again. After posting that days image I wait for the first comments to come in. I’m often amused by the flattery I get for my efforts. Some people think that nude selfies are scandalous but I believe that they can be empowering, just as long as they are not too explicit.

I have my own rules where selfies are concerned. The most important one is that they are taken in the moment and are as natural as possible.
