Zille Defeu’s Fetish Fantasies

Posts Tagged ‘victorian’

This end-of-the-week post is all about closing some tabs in my browser; some things I’ve been holding on to, to share with you lot….

As you may recall, I recently did a post about Victorian erotica I have known and loved. Well, the Spankboss over at SpankingBlog liked the post enough to bring it to the attention of his readers, and an enjoyable discussion has ensued: some thoughts on “A Man With a Maid”

Darling kaya brought this excellent blog post, by a really wonderful blogger whom I can’t believe I haven’t found before now: Kitten In Chains discusses Submission for Dummies.

Here’s another great post about Master/slave relationships by her.

Finally, I found the coolest blowjob picture ever! From the same gallery that contributed two hot pictures to Paul’s wonderful conclusion of A Boy and a Good (Bad) Girl, comes this shot which I think proves that porn can become art very easily….

Flirting wasn’t as blatant as it is in today’s society … rather it was a series of subtle cues and body language used to convey ones intent!

Since it was not considered appropriate for young men and women to openly talk to each other, they developed a way of communicating using the hand-held fans that the ladies carried. Each movement of the fan was a different message from the young lady to the young gentleman.

• The fan placed near the heart: You have won my love.
• Half-opened fan pressed to the lips: You may kiss me.
• Hiding the eyes behind an open fan: I love you.
• Opening and closing the fan several times: You are cruel.
• Fanning slowly: I am married.
• Fanning quickly: I am engaged. (There is some disagreement on this, as another site says, “Fan fast – I am independent.”)
• Twirling the fan in the left hand: You are being watched. (Also: “Drawing fan across forehead. – We are watched.”)
• Fan with right hand in front of face: Come on, follow me.
• Fan with left hand in front of face: Leave me.
• Resting Closed Fan To Right Eye: When can I see you?
• Open Fan Pressed To Left Ear: Do not betray our secret.
• Pulling Fan Across The Eyes: I apologize.
• Fan open wide: Love.

• Fan half open: Friendship.
• Fan shut: Hate.
• Fan swinging: Can I see you home?
• Letting fan rest on right cheek: Yes.
• Letting fan rest on left cheek: No.

I always wonder how they developed these, and how everyone “got on the same page” about them! I mean, if you mistake the meaning, you could get anything from a broken heart to a serious social scandal!

However, this young lady seems to have gotten exactly what she wanted from the language of fans, and no longer needs hers…

I’ve got Victorian spanking stories on the mind. I’ve been re-reading The Pearl, a long-time favorite, and I have to say that, with the exception of Janus magazine (and Blushes and Roue, too, of course!) Victorian erotica is what I will turn to when I want to read something that will get me drenchingly excited.

When I was about 17, I was stuck with my family in a vaction house over the summer. There were no friends around, and the locals my age had no desire to fraternize with a vacationer. So it was just me and my little sister, and we could get tired of each other’s company pretty fast.

But the house my parents had rented was full of bookshelves. So, being the bookwormy geek that I am, I settled down for a summer of reading other people’s books.

And then I found, innocently enough in a shelf with other random paperbacks, A Man with a Maid and that seriously effected the rest of my summer, which was then spent mostly in my room!

I didn’t have any sex toys, so I went looking around the house for some likely insertable, that no one would think was too strange if they found by my bed. Lo and behold, the table knives were these huge utensils, with sleek, rounded handles. They also curved nicely to one end, as if made to seek out a G-spot! So a knife was secreted by my bed, and I figured if Mom found it I could just tell her I’d been having a late-night snack, “And the knife just fell down there — I was wondering where it went! Couldn’t find it for the life of me!” (It would have been soooooo transparent, but happily my mother never found the furtive bed-side table knife!)

After I went off to college, I could more easily lay hands on erotic books (and keep them undiscovered!) so books like Beauty in the Birch, Frank and I and, The Yellow Room. These were read over and over, and cherished, and if I was a guy, the pages would have been sticky! (Although I’ve never fully understood that. What I do is read the story until I get to a fevered pitch, and then put the book down and replay scenes from it in my head whilst I masturbate. I don’t have enough hands to hold the book up, at the same time, and it would be awkward, anyway, which is not something I particularly desire at that very moment!)

While I was looking up my old favorites online, I discovered this one, and am ordering it right away — I had never heard of it before, and I’m so excited just by the title alone: Tales of Fun and Flagellation!

I did this shoot last year, when all of a sudden, I had a whole lot of models to shoot and had to think of something to do with them (oh, poor me, what a terrible life!) I thought, “Where would you find a bunch of hot women together?” and, my mind being what it is, “A brothel,” was the first thing that came into my mind. That thought was soon followed by remembering the amazing images of the Storyville “ladies of the night” by John Ernest Joseph Bellocq.

Here are two from the series, that I thought you lot would especially enjoy. In this first image, we see a number of naughty girls cheating at their card game (and of course, they are gambling and drinking the demon liquor, to add to spankable offenses, should a gentleman feel so inclined….)

In this next shot, one of the recalcitrants (you may remember she was taking a shot as cover for peeking at her neighbor’s cards) is now being brought to justice. It would seem the gal who was offended against is enjoying the prospect — and her bottom…!

One of the most common search terms for finding this blog is “spanked victorian maid.”

Sadly, I don’t (yet) have much content to provide those searchers (although a search on my site under “victorian” does yield some fun stuff!)

However, Lupus Spanking comes to the rescue, as always. Here’s a lovely shot from their video, “The Glamour of old times”

What Lupus has to say about the movie:

Lupus Pictures brings a completely unique project to the market – a new dimension of spanking movies. First of all, the movie is a detailed study of D/s relationships, and this is completed by a truly sensitive cinematization. The authors used demanding retro style, complete with the set, lights, original costumes, masking and acting style.

The story unfolds in an old Victorian house. The plot is simple, but gives ample room to precise expression of the atmosphere. There are two female actors – a Lady and a servant. The Lady punishes the servant for a minor fault using a very uncommon method. She forces her to assume an awkward position and cruelly punishes her with a cat-o-nine. The poor girls stands several hundred (!!!) lashes and although her strict upbringing commands her to stand the punishment without a word and with dignity, she finally breaks in the end. Tears appear in the corners of her beautiful eyes and sighs and gasps escape her lips. After the lashing is over, there is a time for the servant to express her gratitude for fair punishment. The girl can kiss the relentless and cruel hand for a short moment…

The Lady is avatar of female dominance – cruel and relentless. Although there is not a word spoken in the movie, everyone will feel the intensity of the haze with which the Lady controls the environment. It is hard to resist her dominance, hard to oppose her will…

This is why I love Lupus-Spanking.com so much!

Also, to add an amusing footnote, the wonderful Adele Haze links to a video with a Victorian maid being disciplined!

[N.B. — the link on Adele’s page seems not to be working, here’s one that is:
