A naked woman grips chains encircling a naked man’s neck as she stands above him.
The sexiest thing to me is the obvious power dynamic here; chained as he is, the kneeling man is quite vulnerable. However, other things about this photograph strike me much more. First, both the man and woman exude undeniable physical strength. Second, both of them aren’t white.
It’s hard not to notice that the majority of pictures on this site and others like it have Caucasian models. As I’ve said before, this site can’t help but be a mirror on the rest of the Internet and, more specifically, representations of the BDSM community. Sadly, as Clarisse Thorn mentions frequently, the sex-positive movement is overwhelmingly white and middle- to upper-middle-class.
There are certainly wider socioeconomic issues at play here, but it is still useful to remark upon the parallels and intersections that sexuality issues have with racism.
