奥の細道 (Oku no Hosomichi)

Redolent of Matsuo Basho's haiku narrative of his journey on a "narrow path to the interior" this will be a journey through my innermost ruminations.

I'm getting ready to watch the St. Louis Cardinals face the Washington Nationals in the first game of a seven-game series for the National League Pennant in our National pastime. What does that mean? Bad news for the Cardinals. Go Nats!

President Moop says "I go to Dover when I can..."

Dover AFB in Delaware is where the flag-draped caskets of members if the US military forces who die in combat are taken from transport aircraft. Moop has been there exactly twice since he became president. He plays golf on one of his golf courses twice a week.

Dwight Eisenhower didn't play golf twice a week.

Could Billie Eillish's hit be about the kinkster of your dreams?

Which alt blogger most resembles the delightful qualities of this song?

White shirt, now red my bloody nose
Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes
Creeping around like nobody knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises, on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please ¨
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh

Apologies to SNL and Billie Eillish

Lilli's May 24 Blog Challenge: Fun Play or Kink?
Posted:May 24, 2019 11:53 am

Lilli posed the following question on her blog: At what point does a little play fun become a kink or behaviour that would bring someone that part of the Venn diagram which says 'into BDSM'? What is the difference between much of what we do and the fluffy pink versions of it seen in everyday vanilla sex?

The answer for me is: When the female participant starts to experience serious submissiveness and begins to crave the feelings of powerlessness against her desire to begin studying this man to find out what he craves so she can do whatever is possible to satisfy him. For some men, this might consist of a few simple submissive services; for me it will ultimately culminate in absolute submission, circumscribed only by her hard limits and mine.

Lilli's Blog Challenge: "Why I Choose to be Kinky"

Today Lilli posed the following blog challenge:

We were having a discussion the other day about what was and wasn't a kink.

One of the thoughts was "It's not having a kink or two that makes us kinky - because everyone, deep down, we believe has a kink. We choose to identify as kinky"

And that is what I would love to hear from you all.

"Why I choose to be kinky"

I actually don't choose to be kinky, I choose to be myself. It just happens that many of the sexual things that fascinate and excite me most are abnormal, although if they weren't sexual, they would not be considered abnormal.

For example, I like to bend women to my will. In the business or political world, such desires would be applauded if they applied to people in general or even to men. But because I want to bend women to my will, and want to do it sexually, it is considered inappropriate (if not, what's a #Me Too movement for?).

Of course, I believe there are serious differences between the way I choose to attempt to bend women to accept and wish to satisfy my sexual needs and the objections the #Me Too movement raises to such behavior, but I doubt that the #Me Too movement would accept the basis I have for this belief.

First, I believe in experimentation or exploration... research in other words, before I begin to actually practice my kinks on her. I try to sound her out through whatever preliminary vanilla approaches seem acceptable to her. It's a very routine dating process. Second, If, through conversation or conventional sex, I detect a submissive tendency, I push her further. I generally, however, try to raise her level of interest and excitement over being simultaneously seduced and guided to the point that she initiates or asks me to initiate the desired act. It is this verbalization or initiation that I desire. Third, My ultimate objective is to have her willingly perform sexual acts with me that she would be both degrading and humiliating for her if other people were aware that she wished voluntarily to perform them out of a desire to serve and satisfy me. This, in short, is my kink: to so influence a woman who I already find fascinating and attractive that she will do virtually anything I wish to make me happy and either initiate it unbidden or beg me to let her initiate it. My kink is her desire for the self-initiated sexual humiliation and degradation I desire for her.

For an idea of what my desires in this regard consist of, I refer you to some of my recent blogs Nothing Left to Prove, Ribeye Steaks and Lobster Tails, and Slave or Submissive. Additional examples are interspersed throughout the erotic fiction I write, which is indexed at this link No Way Out Belle de Jour Jenny.

I just do it for the fun of it.

I've always enjoyed the company of beautiful, accomplished women. Fortunately, many of them reciprocate. I've also always enjoyed a challenge. I don't always enjoy the results. Challenges are meant to be difficult. Outcomes aren't guaranteed.

Sexual conquest has been one of my favorite challenges. Not surprisingly, the older you get the harder it gets. So much the better. You learn new skills, you learn how better to apply old skills. You never stop learning.

That's why I undertook my just-concluded two-week sojourn to my mountain retreat. It offered multiple challenges. I had to communicate and carry out a successful seduction entirely in a foreign language... fortunately one I at one time was the best at speaking of all my peers. But that was too many years ago to comfortably remember. The desired result, furthermore, was to be the conversion of the object of my seduction into my not only willing, but eager, sex slave. This would for the first few days take place under relatively primitive cool, rainy weather conditions with only wood heat. The woman involved was a sophisticated, accomplished big-city girl whose main form of transportation was by taxi, almost exclusively in the evening, or the very early morning. I also was going to be the chef, preparing dishes outdoors, over a grill, that I hadn't prepared for many years... some I had never prepared.

In the end, it was she who first referred to herself as my "sex slave," although that was not the end, it was very close to the beginning. It was she who compared the feeling of my cock buried deep in her mouth to the same sensation she felt when it was buried deep in her cunt. it was she who begged to be allowed to suck it... repeatedly. It was she who lay asleep with her head on my inner thigh, my cock still in her mouth, her face carefully positioned so that I could see her lips wrapped around it. It was she who consideartely asked if I had a clear view of her lips before she stuck out her tongue to lick my cock. It was she who responded with unbridled eagerness to learn when I described to her exactly how she was to worship my cock.

That may be why I feel like I don't really have anything left to prove.

School – a review (for Raptor Girl and SylviaSoulier)

Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.”
__Oscar Wilde

The film Red Sparrow is about sex as power. It is set in the present but is about the past and a probable future. It is a smart, brutal film, but the brutality is confined to vignettes, as is much of the sex. The power is on full display as Jennifer Lawrence, as the beautiful spy trained to be a for the Russian power structure, sexually emasculates men who think they can dominate her and sexually rewards those she is drawn to.

Some critics panned the film because it wasn’t romantic enough and the accents the characters affected were poorly done and hard to listen to. They were right as far as they went, but they missed the point. (One critic here preferred the book, which I will read as soon as a library copy becomes available.)

I had hoped the film would provide a canvas upon which to display some elements of the BDSM lifestyle. In this respect I was disappointed. I was not, however, disappointed with the film, which was a smart, insightful spy thriller… the kind of film I enjoy when I just want to check my brain at the box office and immerse myself in Hollywood’s take on the CIA vs. the FSB (KGB, for those who still live in the cold war).

Jennifer Lawrence’s nude sex scenes showed little nudity and almost no sex. There was more suggestion than display, with her partner’s body blocking the best full-frontal views. It was mainly sex as preferred by a Russian oligarch: lots of opulence and intimidation, not much subtlety or imagination... but Jen is still hot.

The intricacy of the plot was clever, with plenty of twists and turns and a surprise ending. The power structure of modern Russia was insightfully but sparingly portrayed… just enough to whet the appetite of a political junkie. If you’re looking for a flick that informatively portrays seductive D/s or Sado-masochistic scenes, however, this ain’t it.

Two and a half stars.

I'm a latecomer to the Jennifer Lawrence fan club. I had only the vaguest idea she played the role of "Mystique" in some of the X-Men movies. I only took an interest in her when she started the Hunger Games movies. Since then I've become avid follower.

i've been disappointed in the reviews for her latest flick "Red Sparrow," which I haven't seen yet. She plays a ballet dancer recruited to be a Russian spy and sent to " school" to learn to seduce espionage targets. It's been panned as a kind of exploitation flick (excessive violence, gratuitous sex and nudity, unconvincing romance), except for the New York Times and Atlantic reviews, which were actually quite favorable.

The bad reviews actually make Lawrence's character in the flick sound like a more authentic version of sadism and submission than the feeble portrayals in most novels or movies. I'm actually intrigued now.

If you're one of the rare people who's actually seen the film, I'd like to know what you thought of it. I'm thinking of asking my favorite girl to go see it with me. She'll put up with anything for me.

The "Silver Linings Playbook" Super Bowl

I'm not a Philadelphia Eagles fan. In fact just about the only thing about Philadelphia that appeals to me is "Rocky" and some of the lovely ladies I from Philadelphia I have encountered (e.g. DollSlave, life_force, secretsub10) . It was thus no surprise to me that when I saw Bradly Cooper in Eagles owner Jeff Lurie's box during the Super Bowl screaming his head off at play after play my mind wandered to the scenes in the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" of Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro cheering for the Eagles. It was just refreshing to see art in the form of a really great flick reflected in Cooper going nuts at the game.

2018/02/bradley-cooper-superbowl-jeff-lurie

As I think about it, the entire theme of Silver Linings Playbook was also the theme of the Eagles' season. That movie was where I first saw Eagles fans doing the nutty "Fly Eagles Fly" dance and where I ever thought of Eagles fans in a sympathetic light. Philadelphia sports fans are usually such asses when they are in the stands at a game. For the first time I was able to separate the unpleasant aspects of Philadelphia fans from the performance of their team and actually appreciate how much the magic of the Eagles' season restored the impression I got of Eagles' fans from the movie.

As much as I hate cold weather, in one sense at least this is my favorite time of the year... it's when the Oscar-worthy movies come out. I got a late start this year because I was traveling in Japan. I missed a lot of movie reviews, and a few enticing flicks, but I'm finally catching up. Sadly, this year's list looks a little thin, though I haven't see The Post, which I'm hoping will save the day for me. In the past week I've seen Darkest Hour and Downsizing. Gary Oldman did a pretty fair job in Darkest Hour, though he over-acted a bit, and Hong Chau was a real sweetheart in Downsizing. I want to see I Tonya and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Frances McDormand seems to finally have another vehicle worthy of her talent. I don't watch anything on TV unless it's really ancient, so I won't see the new Blade Runner, which I missed while I was away. Somehow, I can't see myself paying for a flick and then sitting in my living room long enough to watch it all the way through, Weird, huh?

There are a few more attractive-sounding flicks out there, and I'm hoping to find some real gems among them. I used to not have to wait for Oscar season. I had a couple of pals who kept up with the movie world and steered me to the good stuff, indie flicks and the like in particular. Sadly, one died of cancer (I have come to really hate that fucking disease) and another moved to Arizona, leaving me to rely on my own inadequate judgment. I keep promising myself that I'm going to start hanging our with movie-smart people again, but so far haven't made that move.

How about you? Are you a year-round movie buff, or just an Oscar-season aficionado? What are the best flicks you've seen this year, and why do you think they're Oscar-worthy, or at least must-see? What's your favorite genre... Action? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Drama? Western? Chick-flicks? Indies? Do you have any favorite method or source for finding great independent or art flicks?
