Tersely Pertinent

(the things you can find on bluesky)

It would be rather unnerving to do a flogging scene in front of a group of people who were all sitting there wearing 3D glasses and eating popcorn?

I should organize something like that some time

A.I

Profile

Photos?

Illustrations? 

Slop?

Now don't get me wrong.   I understand people now wanting to put a photo of themselves as an Avatar or on just their profile.   But Good Gawd, the proliferation of the use of A.I. has increased so much that I am sure some small towns have been blacked out due to the amount of electricity used to create these things.

Profile after profile after profile after profile uses them that the "Who's online" looks like a cartoon factory.   Are we rapidly approaching the time when everyone will be using them?     

The alter was built from drift wood, found along the beach.    Weathered poles, still strong even after the rain and tide washed over them.   Each one driven deep into the sand, held rock steady and hearty.  They provided a frame where her dedication to the prayers she offered. 

Leather straps dropped down from the crossbeam to wrap around her wrists with loving care  and pulling her arms above her head in a praise to the glowing morning sun.    The yellow god of the sky returned her love in the form of heat, drawing the sweat from her body, dripping down her back and over her buttocks and between her legs down to the sand at her feet.

She watched the waves role in as she felt the bite of more leather danced across her shoulders and spine.    Matching her breathing to each wave, her toes dug deep into the beach trying to reach higher in her sacrifice.   Legs spasmed and hips rocked.    Drippings from between the legs joined the sweat in the sand below.

As the waves crested into the shoreline,  she released her her final sacrifice in a wave of her own, collapsing into the hold of the straps and arms of her love.   

So in our last discussion, I asked everyone about their "Why".   This led me back to thinking on an old Fet post I did talking about the old journalistic questions:

Who

What 

When 

Where 

Why 

How

Being that I am somewhat tired from a bad night and waiting on things to happen here at the house, I thought I would do a small discussion on another section.  What I would like to know from you all is Where you think you like to practice the lifestyle.

Do you prefer:

The local Dungeon?

Your Living Room?

The Basement?

Out in Public?

Only in the Bedroom?

In the car?

In the Backyard?

Is one place more important to you?    Do you have space somewhere or it is merely a spot of convivence?   What are your thoughts....

Because I am retired, I do spend a great deal of time here on Cage and on Fet.    It gives me time to indulge myself in one of my favorite perversions:

Profile reading.

Now most of you think I am cruising for naky pics (well naky feet pics, but I digress) when I am really wanting to see what people have to say about themselves and the lifestyle.  Mostly I am looking for the reason they they got attracted to the lifestyle to begin with.    This is what I call "The Why".

Now most people don't list their why.    They want to talk about their kinks or their fetishes.   Others want to list what they are not looking for.   Still others say nothing at all (this is a visual media, so if you don't put anyting, you get nothing out).   Very few talk about why they are here.

Now a good deal of that is they don't really understand their why.   They think saying things like "I'm a natural submissive" is ok.   They don't explain why they think this.   I often wonder if they even understand why they think they are so.   

However, I think the Why is deeper than that.    I have spent decades thinking on my why and have come to many different conclusions.   I started out thinking it was just the sex, but older me threw that out the window.   Long ago, it came to me that it was much deeper than that.    But that is personal philosophy is  now further reaching.    Though I sometimes wonder if future me will simply come back to the sex.   I don't know.

So kiddies, today my question is:

Have you thought about your Why?     

Better still, do you understand your Why?

So here I am playing my online solitaire game, while talking with people and trying out a new pizza sauce recipe when the Ad on my game comes out with:

"When you need Comfort, Bring out the Bob"

Really guys?    

Recently, I had a local lifestyle friend wanting to sell off some of his excess things.    So looking around, I found a set of leather/vinyl wrist and ankle cuffs.    He also had this nifty set of slim shackles.  Also wrist and ankles.  So me being me, my tinker brain started winding and thought they would go well with my interrogation chair.

The main problem was how to get the shackles to connect to the wood frame of the chair.     Then it hit me:

Magnets!

So I went online and found these 130 # pull ones and screwed them into the arms and legs of the chair:

Now the shackles didn't have the metal content I was thinking, so made a bit of an addition so it would work with the magnet and this is what I ended up with:

Currently, I am using a cotter pin (it really isn't a cotter pin, but that is what I call it) to keep the shackle locked.   I may go get some small padlocks, but want try the pins first for safety.    The shackle itself can be separated from the chair with a really hard pull.    But looks rather intimidating, don't it?

I decided to see if I could do the same kind of idea with the leather cuffs I first put on.    A couple of fender washers and, Voilà:

In the end, I got both wrist shackles and one leather cuff attached, but then ran out of fender washers.   Guess I need another trip out to the hardware store.     Here is the almost completed chair.     It looks fun, doesn't it!
