The Cane – The Classic English Discipline Tool Pt 2

Dominalisa-schoolmarm-earpullingEar pulling, the perfect entrée before the main course of a hard, cold, caning – here to be metered out by classic school marm Domina Liza

The Great Equaliser
Caning is probably one of the most revered of the disciplinary arts taking some time to perfect. A perfect cane stroke needs a minimum amount of effort, you don’t have to throw your whole body into it. In fact the greatest accuracy is achieved with the minimum variation of movement. This is probably one of the reasons as to why the cane is such a favoured disciplinary tool. The stature and strength of the disciplinarian is immaterial as it is one’s technique that is all-important -the cane is certainly a great equalizer for women.

Before beginning a punishment with the cane, it is really advisable to have a very thorough warm up to help prevent serious bruises and cuts. Despite appearances canes are very severe implements, so never use full force blows as they may cause damage to underlying tissue and nerves.

Caning Techniques
There are two different techniques to caning someone. Firstly with a ‘wrist only’ movement and secondly, with an ‘arm and wrist’ movement. I would suggest that beginners (and when caning in an area with limited space/height) should always use the wrist movement. It is also the stroke I prefer to use as it has a greater degree of accuracy. Hold the cane in your hand, tuck your elbow into your body and using only your lower arm, use a fast wrist motion to flick the cane at the target. If you cane without moving your wrist you cannot get any speed into the motion of the stroke or that lovely ‘swish’ noise, as you are not really using the flexibility of the cane.

The ‘arm and wrist’ movement involves lifting up and bringing down your arm, putting the force of your shoulder behind the stroke, finishing the stroke with the wrist movement. The arm can move either up or out for this motion. Make sure you practice the movement and measure the stroke lots of times before beginning the punishment because with this technique it is easy to be inaccurate. If you have never caned someone before try holding the cane about a third of the way in, this makes it shorter, less flexible and easier to control. Only as you gain confidence move your hand back.

After striking the bottom you can either follow through with a stroke that leaves the cane firmly planted on the buttocks or allow the cane to bounce back and lift away from the area. Following through will make the stroke more painful and ‘thumpy’, this is because you are passing on all the kinetic energy of the stroke into the buttocks.

Another caning technique is that of ‘bastinado’  a rapid continuous drumming of the skin often used for punishing the feet. In old Public School films I have seen the punisher run across a room to administer the stroke. I don’t personally believe this will make a great deal of difference to the stroke, (except to make it more difficult to be accurate). I am sure, however, it does have some great psychological effect on the frightened recipient.

headgirl-cane-punishmentI remember this film, I was the ‘Vice Head’ Girl and he was the ‘Sub’ Prefect (genuine British School badges) I did loads of bad stuff then had him blamed no wonder I’m laughing! Here the caning is being dished out by the hard left-hander Miss Birch.

There is also the possibility of being caned in public or in front of someone. Here added to the pain of the cane is the insult of humiliation, having your trousers pulled-down (or skirt pulled-up) then your panties lowered and punished while everyone watches.

Man’s Ruin Pt 1: Stan Dare Sub-Marine

Man’s Ruin
Amazing Tales of Heroic Masochism

The True Story of Stan Dare, Sub-Marine
by Lola Klein and Vince Ray

Torpedo Bra Torment ~ With his superhuman masochistic strength Stan Dare was a formidable weapon in America’s struggle against the world’s super villains but could this tormentress in a torpedo bra crush his helmet of steel?

Man’s Ruin Pt 1: Stan Dare Sub-Marine
Amazing Tales of Heroic Masochism

The True Story of Stan Dare, Sub-Marine

Stan strained against the leather bonds, his arms pulled tightly around the back of the chair. His legs were similarly restrained, stretched wide apart. In front of him stood his captor, the evil Stella Stern, a superior smile on her face. She contemplated her prey with dark eyes, absently tapping her crop against one shiny riding boot. When she spoke, Stan wasn’t surprised to hear the guttural purr of an Eastern European accent.

“I hear you are a hard man to break captain. This is good. I like my men hard.” She gazed at the spot where his combat fatigues were tightly stretched across his vulnerable groin.

I was Held Captive by an Evil Bitch Hell Dominatrix

“It makes the breaking so much more pleasurable. Intelligence informs us that you have the secret formula which we require…”
Stella flexed the crop in front of her, her eyes fixed on his. She swished it suddenly down across Stan’s thighs.
“… and I intend to relieve you of it.”
Stan greeted his teeth against the stinging pain. His words were disdainful.
“You’ll get nothing out of me, you Teutonic Tormentor.”
“I doubt that, Captain,” Stella curled her lip into a scaring smile, “by the time I’m finished, you will be leaking more than secreta.”

To Hell & Back with Stella Stern

Her long magenta fingernails traced a path down Stan’s muscular chest, pinching his nipples cruelly, twisting them until he grimaced. Picking up a pair of large metal crocodile clips, she attached them to his now stiff and swollen nipples. Stan groaned with pleasure exciting a furious glare from Stella.
“Allow me to wipe that smile off your face, you decadent western pervert.”
She slapped him roughly across the face, back-and-forth until a trickle of blood showed at the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve had worse on a first date, honey,” brazened the marine, coolly.
“Perhaps this will help to loosen your lips.” Opening a large aluminium case, Stella drew out a strange futuristic bull whip made from strands of wire.
“It is especially made to my own design. An electric whip, which delivers a small shock with each lash.” She flicked a switch in the handle and flexed her arm, cracking the whip loudly. Moments later the Marine’s khakis were in shreds. Stan looked impressed.
“I’ve got to hand it to you East Europeans, you certainly get all the best gadgets.”
The increasingly frustrated villainess threw down her weapon in disgust.

I was Whipped by a Woman on a Tropical Island

“You’ve met your match, you sadistic siren,” the stoical Marine said, cigar still clamped between his teeth. As Stella rummaged in the case to extract some villainous new device, Stan strained to catch a glimpse. What he saw made his blood run cold and for the first time, fear showed in his eyes. Stella quickly strapped on the appliance and stood spread-legged before him.
“It seems I have found your soft spot.”
A trickle of sweat roll down stands forehead and with it slid the ‘mole’, or micro dot containing the secret formula. Stella carefully caught the microdot on the end of her finger and smiled a victorious smile.
“So, Captain, I win. I suppose I must now release you. However…” she pulled on the starting cord and the vibrating dildo sprang into life,
“the night is young and it seems a shame not to road test my new toy,”
Stan’s eyes whitened with a measure of fear and excitement.
“Vorsh sprung technik.”

In Search of the Female Orgasm Pt 2


As a woman I need multiple orgasms to be satisfied, that’s why a stable of sex slaves is so useful 🙂 Here my lovely friend Mistress T is kindly helping me out making sure this tongue-slave is working properly!

The Cum Rules
I have had many different ‘Cum Rules’ over the years, (we even made a movie about them once) but one staple is that a slave must give me a large number of orgasms to earn just one for himself – hence the title of that film 50=1.

I also like to use ‘male ejaculation’ as a Pavlovian training tool; he will be permitted to cum but for example: only when my heels are digging into his nipples or when his tongue is right up my arse. The former helps to train his mind to love pain a useful trait for one of my slaves, while the latter helps reinforce his position in My world.

For a woman to be turned on and to cum is a slow and individual process and therefore something a slave must focus all his attentions onto and will need considerable training in. For me even the training is quite a turn on, lying back comfortably on the bed with a crop in hand making sure his tongue is doing what I want – where I want, while any infractions will earn him an extremely hard stroke across his backside.

So, there is too much focus in porn on the act of the man ejaculating and here at The English Mansion I’ll be addressing the balance 🙂 personally…

Tainted Love – Perverted Top Ten Music Chart

Welcome to The English Mansion’s
Tainted Love – Perverted Top Ten Music Chart

Our musical Top Tens dedicated to all things kinky

It’s Pervy Poptastic! There’s a lot of contenders here from the ’80s and the kink is quite sublimated; the sexual revolution is bubbling away just below the surface of respectability or just enough for the grown-ups not to be able to understand its implications 😁 Relax by FGTH is the perfect example as no one understood its sexual innuendos “when you wanna cum… suck to it” – no really! it was a more innocent time. Eventually it was banned… which just made it an even bigger hit.

Into the noughties Lady Gaga was still carefully metaphorical in her huge 2008 hit which is actually about her experiences with bisexuality, being with a man but fantasising about a woman, hence her “Poker Face”.

10 True Facts About Mistress Sidonia

The birth of a Living Legend 😉

These days I’m continually told I’m a ‘Living Legend’ I recognise it’s meant to be a compliment but it’s a strange tribute making me feel like some kind of ancient myth. And life on a pedestal is not always a comfortable one, there’s only room for one and only one way to go once you are up there – down; but I guess it is an inevitable platitude as I have through The English Mansion opened up my life sharing my musings and exploits as a dominatrix. If there is any kind of legacy I hope my enthusiasm for femdom will seep into the modern consciousness shoring up feminism and encouraging women to explore and enjoy their sexualities whatever their inclinations.

So given many dommes seems to be blogging/vlogging 10 facts about themselves etc. I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon but as readers here are already familiar with my BDSM life and loves, I though I’d let you all know a few lesser facts about moi and why I probably do deserve that legendary status 😉

10 Absolutely True Facts About Mistress Sidonia

1. Once swapped an enema for a car (a 5 Series BMW).

2. Was life banned from two fetish clubs for being too outrageous, Fantastic in Brixton & Spank in Bristol; and given a serious warning at The Skin Two Ball in Hammersmith and only not ejected from the club because she knew the promoters.

Receiving my Erotic Oscar in 1997 from the lead singer of Rockbitch – hey they know how to do award ceremonies at The Sex Manics Ball. And at Torture Garden in the mid ’90s.

3. Was punched unconscious by a (real) nun in the full wimple and habit (she was ironically from a convent called The Good Shepherd Sisters.)

4. Has been skiing in Iran.

5. Was asked to leave The Ritz hotel when a person in her party, a now retired prodom, who will remain nameless, mooned at Margaret Thatcher.

6. Has lived in two stately houses.

7. Was queueing outside Torture Garden, Shepherds Bush when it was closed by the police and was inside at Club Whiplash, Putney when it was raided by the police.

Yep that’s me on the flyer & I’m denounced in the subsequent newspaper expose (1993) which was ridiculous, salacious and of course utterly untrue. My favourite line being “The music was loud but the whipping was louder!” The club won the case and the police got a rap on the knuckles for wasting tax payers money but sadly it led to the demise of Club Whiplash.

8. Received a gift and was taken to the theatre by Lady Diana, Princess of Wales.

9. Involved in the accidental destruction of two works of art: a Salvador Dali & a Peter Blake (I am mightily ashamed of this).

10. Has been awarded a number of infamous fetish awards including an Erotic Oscar 1997 at The Sex Manics Ball; & The Ivar Gold Golden Cane 2003, (being a show-off and trying to interject a little humour she won this ‘best caning award’ while blindfolded).

Attending a Prostitution Pride March (in disguise) in the ’90s (not sure we’re selling it) –  insert chatting with Cynthia Payne

Note: the unscrupulous click bait title is supposed to be ironic it was nearly, “10 thing about Mistress Sidonia & her cute Kitten that You Need to Know!” Though I do apologise for the ceaseless name dropping but hey getting Cynthia Payne, Margaret Thatcher & Salvador Dali all in is impressive (and that wasn’t even all of them) and finally, re. living legend my tongue is firmly in my cheek 🙂

All Wrapped Up – Mummification

Egyptian-mummification-Mistress-Sidonia

My attempt to reproduce an Egyptian mummification pattern using two separate wraps using masking tape.

Mummification is a type of BDSM extreme bondage play whereby the sub is wrapped from head to toe in a flexible material like bondage tape, pallet wrap or cling film, with just a breathing tube or the nose being left uncovered. One of the best swaddling materials is vet wrap because it is so mouldable, it comes in great colours and you can bind using elaborate wrap patterns as used in Egyptian mummification.

mummification-MistressT

The head is in vet wrap and the body in black pallet wrap, the subbie was then placed inside a bondage box/coffin with a foam cut-out. With the gorgeous Mistress T in attendance.

You can also use purpose made bondage bags and sleep sacks in leather, rubber or plastic which have the advantage of being a very quick way to encase someone. They do, however, lack the intensity of a mummification wrap and its main advantage – their ephemeral nature. It is a sublimely creative process, each mummification is different, each sub becomes an objet d’art. You can cut holes where you want them, soak them in pee or drop wax all over them 🙂 and once the play is over, just cut it carefully off and throw it all into the bin.

I always fancied one of my mummifications might have a good chance at The Turner Prize! I once mummified a slave and left him on show during a party I was having. I taped a box over his genitals labelled ‘Grope Box’ it was a huge hit with all the ladies present 😉

elaborate-mummification-bdsm

Wrapped in black bondage tape and then roped tightly down to a bondage bed.

To increase the intensity of the wrap, layers can be added over the top of the initial mummification: rope or belts used; they can be placed inside a sack; or taped down onto a board. Inflexible parcel tape over cling-film which creates a kind of hard case, is one of my favourites. The pinnacle of mummification in terms of restriction are body (plaster) casts!

Goddess-LexiSindel-mummification-Englishmansion

A half body mummification with blue vet wrap – ideal access for a CBT scene with the stunning Goddess Lexi Sindel.

And, I have spent many a wicked hour planning ways to make my mummifications tighter and more restrictive, hence building a bondage coffin with foam insert. See here: Adventures in Bondageland.

This extreme bondage is very sexual and super *hot* for me, I always cut out the genitals so I have full access to them. The sub becomes no longer a person but a giant sex-toy for my use. Faceless and dehumanised, a creature I have created for my pleasure…

taped-to-a-board-cbt-parcletape-mummification-bdsm

Wrapped in cling-film and then (inflexible) silver parcel tape, this was then taped down to a board. (Care must be taken to inflate the lungs during the mummification when using parcel tape as it is so inflexible.)

I have always been fascinated with the psychological aspects of mummification play. It is the most extreme type of bondage as the participant is completely incapacitated and in a state of extreme sensory deprivation. As the dominant it allows me total control! I can do anything I want to my charge, even their breathing is controlled my me. It also give me total responsibility for their safety, this creates a powerful bond of trust between us.

Lycra-mummification-Mistress-Sidonia-von-Bork

Wrapped in a Lycra tube (used in skirt making), rope was added over the top, then they were roped down to the bondage table.

For the sub there is the effect of the immobilisation  – this allows a meditative state, complete submission and a total focus on me as all-powerful. An unconscious return to the womb, in a sense I am mother and will take care of everything. While the sendep focuses the sub on my touch and whatever I choose to impart – I may tease, caress or hurt them. They exist through me and for me. This is a heady delight for any dominant.
