I'm Wearing Pajamas... :)

That's not important, at all...but I had no other blog post title.  :)

Japanese videos are weird. 

Not that ours aren't as well...but this one is just...bizarre. 

Archbishop of New Orleans orders church altar to be burned after a pastor was caught in a 'demonic' sexual act with two Dominatrices.

"The three were discovered by a passerby who saw that the church lights were on later than usual. The altar had been fitted with stage lighting and several cameras, according to local reports."

 

Kinky lives revealed of ProDommes Lady Vi & Empress Ming arrested for having sex with a Catholic priest on a church altar, who have men & women slaves pay $350-an hour to be punished. 

(Disclaimer...the following is from a book I wrote. Its applicable to this story/thread, but I didn't write if just for this post, just stating that caveat.)

I've written before about the interesting parallels between religion and some BD/SM practices and ideologies. Guilt, penance. Confession, punishment. "Overlord" and subject. The Cross (for some, not my type of thing), whippings, beatings, obeisant servitude...and reward.

BDSM can mimic some aspects of religion. Or the other way around. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Or which came first, the ritualized fetishistic aspect of religion versus the ritualized fetishistic aspects of BDSM? They both involve heavy doses of:

Answering to an Authority

Figure.

Worship.

Guilt.

Penance.

Punishment.

Sin.

Punishment (Again).

Confession.

Punishment. (Once again).

The Cross.

Unique and Distinct Attire.

Genuflection.

Bowing.

Whips.

Honor.

Scourge.

Nuns.

Robes.

Kneeling.

Yielding.

Cane.

Rulers.

Spankings.

Catharsis.

Beatings.

Denial.

Chastity.

Uniforms.

Punishment (Yes indeed....once again).

Some submissive males will spend hours, days, weeks being subjected to corporal

punishment, spanking, caning, CBT, blue balls slapped or kicked, sometimes in chastity, denied, toiling at household tasks, humiliated, objectified all just to please their wife or Mistress. And stated or unstated at the end of that period of denial and service, they only want to be allowed to use their hands, fingers, lips and tongues to caress and lick...body parts. Being allowed to kiss and lick our breasts, thighs, calves, with the hopes of worshiping their version of the "Holy Grail"...ass and pussy. And it they are lucky then...and only then...sometimes...they might be allowed to empty their balls of all that pent up sperm which has been screaming for release for such a long time, leaving them spent and exhausted. And then the process starts all over again. Sounds like a religion to me.  :)

Political Post Withdrawals - Plus Purple Eggplant Plushie Project Pitfalls. :)

Due to my recent reduction/stoppage in political posts, I had to pick up another hobby. Guess everyone is getting Eggplant plushies for Christmas. And yes...I know what the Eggplant emoji means. Why the hell do you think I'm doing them.  :)

I gotta say..."Fjaðrárgljúfur" just sounds...perverted.  :)

I don't understand any of this. Is that supposed to be Bill Clinton? 

The verbiage makes no sense to me. Confused...
