Kneeling naked on a small rug next to a dog bowl, a man faces a brick wall that has a hitching ring and chain attached to it, and presumably attached to him, as well.
This painting was suggested by Margaret, who says it’s called “Bad Dog” by FtMeyersArtist (but I can’t seem to find a link to it anywhere online). Margaret says it’s Nice to see some BDSM imagery in pastels. Notice the scratch marks on his shoulder.
I totally agree; I’ve seen comparatively few outright depictions of BDSM activity in what many people would call more “serious” or classic art forms, like painting or sculpture. Although they certainly exist, one wonders whether the stigma associated with the subject matter prevents artists from expending the enormous effort required to create physical art of that sort. I’m not sure how someone would explain away an image like this if they were painting it on a large canvas in their studio, especially when I often hear people trading tips about the best places to hide vibrators from their house guests.
Regardless of whether vibrators are in plain sight or not, the desire to share various sexual ideas is plainly evident. Naturally, the lower the costs to do so, the more it’s done. For both visual art and writing, and as you’re experiencing by virtue of this photo blog as one example, the Internet created unimaginably diverse forums for sexual expression to be shared. I think this was summed up well by Jack Stratton in his KinkForAll New York City 2 presentation on “Anonymity and Online Sex Writing,” where he says:
“I like the idea that people who wouldn’t normally write about sex and don’t have a forum [in which] to write about sex are writing about sexuality.”
That’s called a revolution. It not only gives us hints about where we as a society are going, but also where we’ve been.
