BDSMonday - Origins

It's BDSMonday!

I feel like it's been a while since I shared any original content or anything personal, so today I have a weird little anecdote for you.

My mom and I had a Christmas tradition of watching The Muppets' Christmas Carol. When I was five, I remember noticing that Gonzo had certain, ah, proclivities. I asked my mom why he kept being disappointed the Rizzo was being hurt instead of him, and she said that Gonzo liked being hurt. And I was like, oh, good, there are other people (well, sort of) like me!

It wasn't until I was thirteen or so that I learned the word masochist (from my step-mom. I don't remember the context, but considering she's a German professor I'm pretty sure she was telling me about von Sacher-Masoch...)

BDSMonday - Nontraditional Bondage

It's BDSMonday! 

Tying someone up can be easy (or really, really complicated). There are handcuffs (which I'm not a huge fan of, honestly. They're cold, uncomfortable, and leave awkward marks), leather cuffs, rope. You can get a little more creative and use belts, ribbon, ties, all sorts of things that are lying around!

But it doesn't end there!

I was thinking about alternate types of bondage last night, and my brain went straight to this: 

Side note: The Mummy is one of my favourite movies (I can watch it, Jurassic Park 1 or 3 [but not 2], or Jaws pretty much any time). 

Obviously I'm not advocating keeping people as property against their will, but I like the idea of 'bondage' that will show if you've moved without permission...and then of course you have to be punished :D

There's also mental bondage. The bottom (etc) isn't physically restrained, but they're put in a certain position and told to stay just like that...or else ;)

I've done some mental bondage, and I'd like to do more, but my wife and I haven't come up with many scenes for it. 

I'd love to hear any ideas you have along these lines, whether it's a fantasy or something you've done/heard of someone doing. 

BDSM readers--have you read any bondage scenes that involved mental bondage, or something used besides a physical restraint? 

It drives me crazy...

...when a TV show or movie sequel replaces an actor but gives no explanation as to why the character suddenly looks completely different! 

Example: Evie in the third Mummy movie, Daisy in the Dead Like Me movie. 

I'm not a complete idiot! I can tell when I'm looking at a different person!

At least in The Matrix, when they replaced the Oracle's actress, there was an explanation! (Also, I make exceptions for actors dying). 

Percy Jackson

I finally gave in and watched Sea of Monsters last night, because I was tired of Netflix-surfing. 

I really enjoy the books (though I have an amazing capacity to forget what each book is about as soon as I've read it) but I hated The Lightning Thief (movie version). It took a bold leap (and boredom) to try the second movie, but I'm glad I did. 

My wife and I both screamed when Nathan Fillion had his aside to the audience. I had to go back and make sure I had just seen that!
