Early F/m Photography
» Miscellany
To say that I’m an avid fan of depictions of F/m oriented D/s and S&M doesn’t convey an unusual appetite.
For a time I spent considerable effort trying to discover interesting “Femdom” illustrations.
Recently I went looking for photographs of dominant or sadistic women. I don’t mean the stuff that is readily found through a Google image search.
I used to be able to get my jollies from photos of “mean sadistic bitches” but now I want something subtler (and I have an interest in F/m culture and history).
I didn’t find much of anything. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything produced before the early 1970s. I suspect that is the time of this photo:
I like her erect posture and that she looks completely self-assured without resembling an evil grinning gargoyle. A frilly top defies contemporary F/m conventions and theres something about a long skirt that can just convey power.
Comments
You know I have seen this photo and a couple others of the same series over the years. I absolutly adore her attire and demeaner and would hope that I emulate it.

Even though it has been about a year since I visited your domestic discipline site I honestly did think of you when I saw this. Your presentation reminded me of some of the images Im trying to re-find.
I suspect they came from an old (British?) magazine focusing on corporal punishment and maybe forced exercise. When I fell in love with someone I purged all those things off my computer.

i absolutely love this pic (above) … it simply is the incarnation of “class” and sophistication. the air of dignity conveyed by “Mistress” adds to her authority. She is simply overpoweringly beautiful … even Her “cane” is delicious.

This pic is how I desire my toy to think of his Mistress as a loving strict disiplinarian. The sacrifice of the submissive as he respects and desires to please his Mistress in this picture is awspme the sacrifice that the submissive is willing to endure for the sake of guidence and instruction as he dwells deeper and deeper into servitude for her sigh beautiful just beautiful!!

The photo above is from an Esoteric Press magazine, 1983. That is a photo of Mistress Jullian.Check out my magazine collection at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MMPMagazineCollection
