Femdom & BDSM: Ethics, Consent, Power & Play

Posted on 25/04/2025 by Mistress Sidonia

Falling foul of AI. Those of us in the BSDM community find many of the restrictions baffling.

Femdom & BDSM: Ethics, Consent, Power & Play

When a sub turned my blog post: 6 Reasons Why Men Should be Kept in Chastity or The Pleasures of Erotic Sexual Denial (see article here)
into an AI-generated podcast; I was mortified when the artificial American hosts were so deeply concerned and offended by the content.

“She was so rude and abusive in the way she spoke to him… used phrases like desperate, pliable, and agreeable. Implying that by denying him sexual release, she can mould his desires to reprogram him. Threatening physical punishments if he doesn’t comply. She talked about steering him towards specific acts like being penetrated by a strap-on… or emasculation… like she’s suggesting someone’s inherent sexual preferences are somehow wrong and need to be corrected.” 🤣

Clearly, AI is not very intelligent when it comes to fet play, it struggles with the complexities of BDSM. Its literal interpretation of language hinders its ability to grasp the nuanced dynamics and the fantasy role-playing that is fundamental to D/s relationships. (Though perhaps the same thing could also be said for the Vanilla mainstream.) So it might be good for me to clarify the context for the body of work I’ve produced for this blog over the years. It is written from (my) the dominant viewpoint but within the framework of a consensual Femdom D/s dynamics – not as ‘tips’ for fostering abusive or coercive relationships!

Context Is King (or Queen here)
Maybe without proper context, some of the content from this blog could be misinterpreted as non-consensual or abusive. Those of us in the BDSM scene understand that we play within strict ethical guidelines, set frameworks and that on-going informed consent is paramount. Within ‘the scene’ we have our own terms, language, outfits, playspaces and equipment. This can be complicated to outsiders, (we even have a term called CNC/Consensual Non-Consent or Free Use.)

Adult Playtime
I believe D/s and BDSM play is healthy adult play. It’s playtime, a place to delve into our unconscious, primal and base sexual desires in an open, fun, safe environment. A source of relaxation to aid our emotional well-being; and stimulation to fuel our imagination and creativity. Dominatrices are not therapists, however, exploring our sexualities, early-developed fetishes or intense childhood experiences in a safe non-judgmental way can have a positive effect on our lives. We can try out new kinks, how do you know what you like, till you’ve tried. Human sexuality is varied, complex and multifaceted. It can change throughout our lifetimes. What to some is bizarre or shocking, might be profoundly meaningful, erotic and pleasurable to others. We need to approach sexuality with an open mind, and respect individual choices as long as they’re made within a framework of informed, ongoing consent and ethical behaviour.

The Eroticisation of Power Dynamics
At the core of D/s is the eroticisation of power dynamics. For many people within the BDSM community, the psychological and emotional aspects of power exchange are what make it so intensely pleasurable. The key is that this power exchange is negotiated and consensual, with both partners (or more) fully understanding and agreeing to the rules and limits of their play. This might seem extreme, abusive or even cruel to those outside the BDSM community, but within an agreed framework it can be a form of mutually enjoyable erotic play. Of course this dynamic can become unhealthy, a D/s, like any form of intimate relationship, requires constant communication, negotiation and a deep understanding of each other’s needs and desires.

Yes, there are still complex questions about power and control in relationships, even within a consensual framework. A chosen power imbalance, is still an imbalance. There are issues surrounding the ethics of manipulating someone’s sexual desires for your own gratification. And the potential psychological effects on both individuals, emotional, physical, psychological and financial. However, for the overwhelming majority of those involved in D/s play, it is a mutually fun form of consensual erotic power play.

Ethics, Context & This Femdom Blog
This blog is written from within the enclave of the femdom world, it primarily reflects (my) the dominant woman’s viewpoint. So its language is provocative, often designed to be sexually arousing, button pressing and deliberately harsh and offensive within the context and framework of female domination. But beyond the play I acknowledge the necessary mutual agency and consent of all parties involved.

It’s important to note that my articles and posts here on this blog represent just one viewpoint within a vast and diverse BDSM community. There are countless other perspectives, practices, and power dynamics at play. It’s a world of exploration and discovery, but wherever your leanings, kinks and sexuality lie, BDSM play demands: Respect, Communication, Consent, Education & Accountability.

Orgasm Control: His Body, Your Choice Pt2

Posted on 19/04/2025 by Mistress Sidonia

Orgasm Control: His Body, Your Choice Pt2

BDSM play can encompass a wide range of sensual and seductive play areas. Fiendish games where it is possible to make a sub suffer and scream in agony without the presence of leather boots or raising a welt! One of the cruellest of these is Orgasm Control where a sub is kept in a heightened state of arousal for extended periods with or without being permitted to orgasm. Thus keeping them in a continued state of heightened sexual anticipatory tension. Orgasms control can take many forms, so let explore a few of them… in Part 2 of this article.

Tie & Tease
The submissive is first restrained in bondage, granting the domme absolute control. This amplifies the sub’s helplessness and heightens his sexual frustration, creating a deliciously vulnerable state. Edging can then be introduced to maintain his arousal, keeping him hard and desperate, yet perpetually denied release. For an even more prolonged torment, a milking machine can be employed, holding him teetering on the brink for hours at a time.

A ‘Tie & Tease’, however, doesn’t necessarily involve ‘Edging’, as there are countless ways to sensually torment a bound sub without ever touching his cock. His nipples, balls, prostate, or perineum can be erotically or intensely stimulated, each producing powerful effects. Alternatively, you can opt for relentless ‘Prick Teasing’, mercilessly toying with his desire, teasing him with your body or other erotic antics, while he remains powerless. (See Part 1 of this article for more.)

Lock & Tease
Another tantalizing option is to tease a slave confined in a small chastity device, a practice I call ‘Lock & Tease’. By securing your slave’s cock in a cage and subjecting him to prolonged, deliberate teasing, you maintain him in a state of heightened sexual arousal, only to deny him release. For a woman, this power can be intoxicating. Keeping him weakened, desperate, and pleading for mercy renders him utterly pathetic, pliable, and attentive—completely at your command. His arousal becomes a tool, a lever you wield to manipulate him to your advantage, the epitome of male submission. There’s a perverse thrill in watching his flesh strain against the confines of the chastity device, the gaps bulging with his futile efforts. I just adore seeing those tell-tale tears of pre-cum weeping from his imprisoned cock, a testament to his torment and my control. I have had quite a few accidents despite the chastity cage being in place, at least it ruins the orgasm.

Tease & Denial
Never let him assume an orgasm is guaranteed when he’s engaged with you sexually. It’s not a given, it should be a privilege granted solely at your discretion or earned through his devotion, ideally after an extended period of enforced abstinence. You can use denial as a cruel tool, a wonderful femdom game of – will you or won’t you let him cum today? As he teeters on the edge, desperate and pleading for a release, you hold the power. You may give him ‘Permission To Cum’ or delivering a firm ‘Denied’, commanding him to cease all contact with himself immediately.

Faux Gelding
This is the process of training a male sub to become a true sex slave, molded to serve the sexual pleasure of his domme or others while receiving no relief of his own. It demands rigorous discipline, he must suppress his own desires, maintaining absolute control to prevent ejaculation, no matter how intense the stimulation. For those who falter, I find cock beatings to be a swift and effective punishment, reinforcing obedience with each transgression.

Total Denial & 247 Chastity
Total sexual denial typically entails prolonged, enforced sexual abstinence, orchestrated by a domme usually by means of a chastity device, but it can be verbally agreed. Sometimes called a ‘Chastity Promise or Pledge’. Through this, the slave is trained to redirect his focus entirely onto her sexual pleasure, his own desires suppressed and sidelined. In some cases, he might earn a rare release through exemplary behavior, or be granted an occasional mechanical orgasm for health purposes. Conversely, a poorly behaved slave might face extended chastity as a punitive measure. A slave may choose total denial as a means of expressing his total devotion to his Domina.

For a domme, the thrill can be profound—knowing she holds the key to her sub’s chastity device, quite literally making her the ‘Keyholder’. This grants her unwavering control over his manhood, sexual urges and desires, a power that pulses through their D/s realtionship. Much like a slave collar, a chastity device serves as a symbol of ownership, but with the added allure of discretion. It can be worn secretly at all times, even in public, a constant reminder of her dominion and his status.

JOI & Cum Countdowns
A JOI ‘Jerk Off Instruction’ involves guiding a submissive through the act of masturbating or jerking their own cock, dictating every detail of his strokes -e.g. fast/slow; stop/start etc. This technique is ideal for online sessions or controlling a sub via video clips. However, they also work for in person D/s games. Often paired with a JOI is the ‘Cum Countdown’, where the Domina counts down from a chosen number, say, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the sub is expected to climax precisely at zero. Failure to cum on command results in swift consequences: orgasm denial and/or a return to chastity.

In these cruel orgasm control games, the psychological interplay is as potent as the physical. They weave dominance with denial, and if earned -gratification, keeping the sub ensnared in both mind, body and cock.

Men (2022 Film) – Insidious Misogyny

Posted on 07/04/2025 by Mistress Sidonia

Falling forbidden fruit, the phallic knife – this allegory is laden with religious symbolism.

Men (2022 Film) – Insidious Misogyny

Men, a 2022 British film by writer-director Alex Garland, left me reeling and utterly spellbound. Visually arresting, emotionally raw, its psychological depth both triggering and shattering, at once magnificent and profoundly terrifying. This dark fairytale carves open the festering core of insidious misogyny, entrenched patriarchy, and toxic masculinity. trailer here

Men masquerades as a folk-horror film, but like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, its true terror lies not in supernatural frights but in the stark reality it unveils. Misogyny’s horror isn’t in its monsters, but in its mundanity. A relentless cycle perpetuated by men, birthing itself anew through each generation. The story follows Harper (Jessie Buckley), a Londoner retreating to the English countryside to heal from witnessing her husband’s violent death. (His fall, man’s fall from the Garden of Eden, precipitated by Harper, Eve.) Yet, this pastoral escape offers no solace, instead plunging her into a surreal nightmare where every man she encounters, all chillingly portrayed by Rory Kinnear, embody this entrenched patriarchy – essentially, all men are the same.

Far from a conventional narrative, ‘Men’ echoes the works of Peter Greenaway, demanding viewers abandon the urge to chase a tidy beginning, middle, and end. Instead, its power lies in letting its vivid, unsettling images -seep into your consciousness, stirring primal responses. Women and men may indeed experience the film differently: for women, a visceral recognition of the ever-present threat of male violence; for men, perhaps a confrontation with their own complicity or lack of awareness.

Harper’s tormentors shift through many incantations (all played by the same actor, Kinnear), but all are essentially smug, patronising, controlling, predatory. From the dippy, inept landlord, Geoffrey to a naked stalker emerging from the trees. Each encounter amplifying the film’s meditation on gaslighting and male sexual aggression. A background stress women endure daily, living every moment on alert for the next predator. Her ill-fated holiday becomes a microcosm of women’s lived reality—surrounded by men offering help that cloaks harm, their faces all blurring into Kinnear’s unsettling grin.

The film’s climax catapults this tension into a grotesque body horror, as Garland unleashes a ‘rolling birth’ sequence that’s impossible to un-see. Every iteration of Kinnear’s male characters gruesomely births the next through a CGI vagina erupting from their bloated torsos, a monstrous chain of men unfolding from the grounds into the house.

Laden with references to the Sheela-na-gig and Green Man, Mother Earth, this surreal spectacle transforms low-key menace into a full-on assault of flesh and symbolism, exposing masculinity’s unchecked mutations. It’s a visceral allegory for misogyny’s self-perpetuation, each new form as threatening as the last. The vicar’s sanctimonious victim-blaming. A police officer’s casual dismissal of Harper’s naked, bloody intruder as “harmless” sears as an indictment of the systemic failure toward victims of stalking and assault. The film’s broader point that real-world misogyny isn’t so easily spotted as these exaggerated archetypes. And, the true horror, Garland hints, lies in the ambiguity—when you can’t discern if the man beside you is saviour or villain. Or does it matter – men are men.

Harper enters a tunnel (womb/vulva) Mother Earth, the source of all life, she’s resonating and (literally) harmonising with nature, it’s magical – until the peace is shattered by (a) man’s intrusion. The film operates on a profound, subconscious level, brimming with depth. Note here, if you soften focus, letting the imagery envelop you, a haunting skull emerges, a foreshadowing of death and sacrifice.

This film could inspire volumes of analysis. Its soundtrack is breathtaking and the acting is flawless. The color palette masterfully employs greens to symbolize Harper/women/nature, contrasted with a blood red for male violence. The forbidden fruit, split half red, half green evoking an assault on the natural world or two halves of an ununified whole.

At its core, Men grapples with a crisis of our age: masculinity’s toxic manifestations, from petty micro aggressions to overt violence. Masculinity is steeped in a misogyny so ingrained that men seldom notice or recognise it, warping their physical and mental well-being. It is rooted in traditional male roles and harmful beliefs that sprout from relentless societal conditioning, drilling into boys and men that they must: exude power and dominance; stand as unyielding protectors; be the providers; hide weakness and suppress their emotions. While the film’s deeper resonance emerges from an unspoken dread – how can we break this cycle of male violence, ingrained patriarchy and toxic masculinity.

Note: Toxic masculinity is not an assault on men but a lens to see how gender stereotypes and conformity is damaging to the well-being of both men and women.
