![Five men in various states of undress are tied in numerous different ways by two women. Three of the men are bound to trees with thick ropes, another is tied to a fence, and a third lays naked on the ground while one of the women ties his wrists behind his back with a leather belt.

The D & G ad that you included among yesterday’s pictures is nice, and I understand your disdain for the way they depict the flawless male bodies. My favourite ads—which do share the same body types and images—come from DSquared. [This is one] of my favorites showing active, dominant women using ropes to play with passive, undressed, and pretty young men. Staged and [emotionless], but still I like it!
I look at these sorts of pictures and I have to wonder where the smiles have gone. In so much advertising, smiling is not just a luxury but a necessity. So too should this be with sex—yes, even “hardcore BDSM sex” (which this image is not). The fact that mainstream depictions of bondage fantasies so routinely lack the jubilant emotions that frequently accompany such activity is a real sore point for me, one made even more bitter by the ridiculously somber way many in the BDSM community itself portray what it is that we do to the rest of the world.
