My dream is to be a chef in the kitchen and a limitless WHORE anywhere else to please my Master ANYWAY POSSIBLE

I discovered the crock pot recently and am loving it. I enjoy watching shows like King of Queens & Everybody Loves Raymond & America’s Got Talent.

I’m mainly attracted to much older men who are ugly and always hungry and VERY OUT OF SHAPE

Since adolescence have had several fetishes which basically evolved to different things such as:
– anything related to white, with big fetish to baby powder (to the point that my body is white)
– full restriction and bounded then thrown into quicksand or buried to the nose in hard mud.
– feeling of skin drying and hardening – includes anything from makeup drying, wet baby powder, cement, etc.
– hard slapping – for some reason physical pain does not turn me on. Can take the hits but will illicit screams not moans like other people.
– ass cleansing – I do not know how to clean my bowels.

TheAwardsSeason, 24
You’re interested in a slave of your dreams? Then I am the right guy. Let me explain. I am a stage actor by profession. I began my training as an actor at age 10, and I have been treading the boards in regional and national theater productions, and making a handsome living doing so, since I was 15. It was only in the last 8 months that I began combining my acting abilities with my sexual proclivities, with great results, I will add.

Every Master, Dom, Aggressive Top has a dream slave, one who not only looks hot but plays the part of victim with the extravagance that role requires. A Master wants to hear and see his slave’s agony and ecstasy, not some tight-lipped ninny suffering in a selfish daydream, and he has every right to elicit the screams and flood of tears and pitiful displays he needs to get completely off. That’s where I come in. Make me your slave — temporary only — and you will suspend all disbelief.

My slave act is completely convincing. Why? Because not only do I know what it takes to give a great performance, I have been a practicing and passionate 100% bottom and masochist in my spare time since my late teens. What you will experience with me is real, and even my exaggerations for effect will be your doing as far as you will know. In short, choose me for your next short term session, and I guarantee the chip on your shoulder will never be larger.

What’s wrong with saying I want to fuck you? So many people don’t even say that when they reply on here it’s nice to know you’ll get fucked before going more in depth.

Ultimately iso dom daddy bear Master older than my age for 24/7 but would love to get randomly fucked along the way.

I think gym memberships are a rip off, I do stay active tho. Boy scout. I’m a nerd for antiques.

I might not be the most masculine guy, but I’m not a girl either… And I’ll be really shocked if you know more about antiques than me.

Pretty depraved Croatian torture toy here. What I’m looking for is not for the faint of heart. Only want truly sadistic individuals, who get off on muffled screams.

Looking for someone over 25 and under 33 to beat and violently rape me daily. If Im not wailing and gasping for breath, your not doing it right. Beat and rape me with a baseball bat from time to time.

I have an extremely large cock if that’s appealing. I dont normally top because Im too big for almost any ass and I take too long to cum. If you have some boy whose ass you want to completely destroy you can use me to kill two birds.

Romeo returns to Verona, where he buys poison. As he goes to the church, Captain Prince finds out he is back, and tries to capture him, without success. Father Laurence learns that Romeo never got his letter and has no idea Juliet is alive. Romeo enters the church where Juliet lies and bids her goodbye. She awakens just as Romeo takes the poison; the two thus see each other before he dies. After he dies, Juliet picks up Romeo’s gun and shoots herself in the head, dying instantly. The two lovers are discovered in each other’s arms. Prince condemns both families, whose feuding led to such tragedy, while coroners quickly transport the two bodies to the hospital.

This profile is dedicated to my late friend Katerin. I am surprised that you actually died before any one of us has been to jail.

to build on icewhite’s comment, one of the most memorable aspects of doing a scene with him is that the issue of consent can’t be a black and white thing, unless you choose to view him as fully formed. given the recent scientific advances made in the treatment of autism, i personally couldn’t do that.

Offer my young sex slave (photo) and unlimited use on him of everything in the dungeon where he is incarcerated (photos) for $1000/hr. I escort you there, unlock his cell, leave, and you and he are on your own. He is Finnish, I won him from his former Master in a chess game. On the plus side, he’s physically perfect and embraces torture like an eager puppy playing fetch. On the negative side, he slobbers a lot and screams like a banshee. If you are a lonely millionaire Master, I will sell him to you for $20,000.

I’m a very openminded boy and actively started exploring the world of kink and fetish since October 2017.

I want to try a lot, everything really, but I’m very frustrated to find I have so many limits. I don’t want them. I hate them. I don’t want my being a shy and insecure person to ruin my sex life!

I’m looking for someone who will have me over “for drinks” then forcibly chloroform me or drug me unconscious. While I am out you would do everything you want to me, even very extreme things. Then you would wake me up with all the evidence of what you did to me very clear for me to see and feel. If I can see that I am already a no limits pig, I know I will give up and become one. I feel 100% certain of that.

The only other thing I can think to say about myself is I love stuffies. I’ve got a giant stuffed bear named Theo. I also recently went to build a bear and built my very own Chase from paw patrol.

Note that I will only get drugged and used with people I’ve met in real life before, unless they are close to people who are close to me. Then I might consider.

I literally want to live the life of a dog, in all aspects that there are.

I never felt right as a human being. I always felt differently. Not being able to define my difference, I lived a long time as a human being, just like everyone expects from me. But it never felt right.

A few years ago, I found out that I should have been born a dog. But not just playing one in form of a roleplay. I am convinced that I was actually born a dog in all aspects of the word.

No more clothes, no more human words, no more walking on two legs. Turn me into a dog and destroy my human side, so that the only way I can continue existing is as a dog, forever until I die.

Hi guys! Who likes to roleplay being in control of transformation? Me.. I like being transformed in some unique fantasy sci-fi way, like: shrunk smaller and/or even younger, turned into a planet, a crashed UFO, an alien from outer space, dematerialised, zapped inside your computer like a game. Love being naked too.

First off, I am not interested in sex. Full stop. I am only interested in rope bondage. For full disclosure, I am bisexual, and in a serious relationship which does not fulfill my fetish desires, as my partner is female and vanilla.

However, she is wonderful, and has given me her blessing to fill in the gaps. I’m looking for a guy who is very proficient in IMMOBILIZING rope bondage to tie me up, gag me, and keep me there past numbness, loss of blood circulation, and any other limits. By immobilizing, I mean I am looking to be tied with at least 15 times the rope in my photo.

I am very cautious because I know most men who are interested in this will want sex, and that I will be helpless to stop them, and won’t report them to the police because of embarrassment, so any meet up will not happen quickly. If I sense any horniness or pressure to make a decision to do something I am not comfortable with, that will be the end of the discussion.

I was introduced to gay sex by force at a very young age and never regretted it.

I’m single, 21 and lived a busy professional life as an escort from the age of 16. Now I want those harder things in life that make a person no one and nothing.

Due to all the sexual activity I’ve been paid to do, sometimes crazy amounts to do sick and crazy things, my sex drive has become extreme as all fuck, and my self-esteem is sub zero.

I have traveled far and wide to service clients, I have been to 64 countries, some of which jail gays for sexual activity, unfortunately I never got caught!!!

I’m seeking someone who truly thinks there are inferiors living beings like me, and superior living beings like he. Someone who will really see me as the worthless living sexual object I believe I am. Someone who truly wishes worthless things like me would have no civil rights. After all, does your toilets or sewer has any rights?

I will accept an occasional or even single use Master if that’s all I can find, but what I truly seek is to disappear – total anonymization and loss of every rights and loophole – 24/7/365 – absolutely and totally NO LIMIT.

I don’t have an issue with snuff, in fact I would prefer it. But I too once was full of hope and love for life, so I understand the trauma society puts us in if you have that issue.

hunglongstarjock – Nov 19, 2017
I too was one of Oly’s regulars. I spent a month with him in Majorca one year and a half ago. He was the complete package, teen star cute, polite when I needed him to be and with a pedal to the metal sex drive when I didn’t – a perennial hot date, his butt at my disposal, but the doom and gloom in his current attitude is new to me and should certainly be taken into account.

this is not a scam profile but a real Profile.
I have captured the submissive/slave in the fotos and I am seeking permanent ownership for him.

This profile does not involve you spending any money or signing up for anything, unlike most of the scams that are out their.

I connect MASTERS with this slave. The slave pays me with sex until I place him with a suitable MASTER.

If you are a Master, get in touch if you are seeking the following:
– a totally 100% submissive bitch 19 yo
– smooth, arabic, uneducated, 92% without limits;
– extremely unwilling and combative, must be 24/7 chained
– hiv negative, tested every 3 months, certificate provided;
– is available for permanent relocation within the US
– slave has no living relatives or close friends so can be taken into seclusive

I recommend the Master visit to inspect and use the slave for a 24 hour period, I can provide safe secure free local accommodation. If things work out, then slave contract is signed and slave will be delivered to you within 2-4 days following inspection, sometimes sooner is possible.

Particular interest for this slave is a BLACK MASTER

My report –
I made him put on slutty underwear and it turned him into a flouncing queen so I quickly had him take them off FYI.
I put a collar on him but he wouldn’t stop barking like a dog so off it came.
Currently his hole has a tiny bit of hair but he said he would shave it if I wanted.
He’s not a virgin anymore and I doubt he ever was.

I’m a new high school graduate, headed to a top university, rich parents, eloquent, have a nice life …. bored already. All I can think about is a man in a leather mask kidnapping me and making me his helpless, worthless slave. None of my friends are remotely interested in kink of any kind. I have an amazing boyfriend who recently got his nipples pierced for me, wears leather, and even puts on masks every once in a while. The problem is it doesn’t come natural to him. In his words he feels bad because he thinks he looks “evil”

Do you see my problem?

 

 

*

p.s. Hey. ** Ferdinand, Hello there, Ferdinand. Always good to see you. I’m grateful for your year of yesses. And they are unfamiliar to me to a one, which adds excitement. I will begin to catch up before the new year’s born. Have a great New Years Eve whatever that entails. ** Wolf, Niece Wolf! How I see the more unusual things I see: (1) On Vimeo or Youtube when possible. (2) MUBI. (3) Experimental Cinema site. (4) Paris has some pretty excellent related film projection series: Re:Voir, sometimes at Gaite Lyrique, a couple of others joints. Those are the main ways, I guess. I will pretend you didn’t take that swipe at Malick. Well, that’s a pretty excellent and crave-able idea for a film you would make. I’m trying to talk Gisele into starting a film production company now that she, Zac and me, Kiddiepunk, Bene and others all are into making films, and that would be a perfect ‘in’ for you too. She wants to do it. She’s even looked into how it could be set up, which isn’t too, too difficult, but she’s so darned busy all the time, so I don’t know. You guys have any plans to kick yourselves sideways on New Years Eve in some fashion? I don’t. I’m such a nun. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. I think the big question is how do you have a revolution post-internet, social media, etc. I don’t feel like that has been figured out at all yet. But god knows the perfect opportunity is ripe to the point of dying on the vine. Happy New Year! ** Dóra Grőber, Hi! That is lucky! You’re free! Congratulations to you and to the world that will now have that much more access to you and yours! I hope the blood blister is a simple, minor thing. Seems like the doc could just lance it and bandage him up, but … let me know. Yesterday didn’t end up being what I thought because Zac came down with the basically yearly flu/cold he always gets just before New Years, and he had to catch a 7 am train south today, so he spent the day napping in hopes of self-improvement, and I spent the day continuing to work on stuff as usual. But I think I’m going to see a friend and do some stuff in the exterior today. Well, heavily enjoy your first spate of unemployment and have big fun tomorrow night bringing in what will hopefully be the best year ever! And of course let me know how your weekend went. ** Sypha, I bet Philip at least likes ‘Die Young’. Thank you for your 2017 list. I even read a few of those myself and agree with their bestness in all those cases. Have a joyous NYE. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T! Happy New Year a wee bit early! Good, good about your new novel going ok. I’m sure ok is a gross understatement even though I’m sure you won’t want to jinx it by agreeing. I caught and read through your amazing 2017 wrap-up post yesterday. It’s a glorious thing and gift to the likes of us, man! Everyone, I think it is safe to say the the best cultural look back at 2017 can now be credited to the divine author/fellow Thomas ‘Moronic’ Moore. His 2017: PAST TENSE is not only enriching on the usual levels and full of excellent tips and insights, it is also beautifully illustrated with much, L-sized imagery of some of his favourites so you can begin to form opinions yourselves. Let perusing his wrap-up be one of the last things you do this year. Yes? Have a sweet weekend! Love, me. ** Bill, Hi. I do think you might really like Janie Geiser’s stuff, yes, it’s true. Counting down the seconds until 20217 is dead meat. ** Steve Erickson, Hey. Well, if you got out to that screening, you definitely are feeling better than I had imagined you would be feeling. You know, in point of fact, I think there may have been at most 100 people in the US who would have had any clue about Can or even would have heard of them in 1971. Or ‘Deep End’. I was a super up-to-the-minute new, cool music nerd at the time, and I didn’t know Can at all. So I would think twice about having a representative hippie of that era wearing a Can t-shirt much less having deep thoughts about them. I think there would be a great danger of that seeming superimposed. I doubt a Can t-shirt even existed then, if I had to guess. ** Chris Cochrane, Hi, Chris! Oh, thank you! Yes, I plan on staying far, far away from that particular water. Happiest New Year to you, buddy boy! I’m so happy I’ll get spend a slice of it with you! ** H, Hi. I think your plans for the waning year sound lovely. I’ve never gotten the drinking thing. Half of a glass of champagne is kind of nice. But otherwise alcohol just makes me feel sluggish or something. HNY! ** Right. The blog is sending off 2017 the way it sends off every other month, i.e. guided by slaves. I will be here to post and p.s. on New Years Day ‘cos I’m a weirdo. See you then.

1. Ghost-“He Is”
This makes references to Michael Jackson and Jim Jones, but its director Zev Deans directly based its parody of evangelical Christianity on disgraced pedophile preacher Tony Alamo. However, the surface creepiness of the video, which comes from the fact that it shows Ghost singer Tobias Forge conducting a church service in corpse paint and the song is a power ballad offering praise to Lucifer, conceals the fact that its depiction of cult-like devotion (especially among young women offering themselves to an older man) and people giving money to a church (where some of it gets pocketed by the collector) barely hides the fact that this eerie aura also applies to genuine Christian fundamentalism. There’s really nothing here that couldn’t take place at a real church service.

 

2. Vince Staples-“Big Fish”
Staples’ song is an ambivalent celebration of his rise from a gun-riddled neighborhood to minor success in the film industry, set to a chilled-out house music beat. The video, in which he performs it from a sinking boat surrounded by sharks, takes the paranoid vibe implicit in the lyrics all the way from subtext to text. Staples seems to be represented by a goldfish in the video’s opening shot; the video returns to the goldfish bowl in its closing shot and suggests something far darker.

 

3. St. Vincent-“Pills”
A song that offers a critical perspective on medical and recreational prescription drug abuse gets a video that takes the central metaphor of THE STEPFORD WIVES very literally. I am still not sure whether it ever depicts real women’s bodies or consists of stop-motion animation of female mannequins. I do know that the robotic vibe perfectly matches the early ‘80s Devo feel of the song’s first half.

 

4. Buy Muy Drugs-“MZKFT”
Seemingly made for a budget around $2,000, “MZKFT” turns the celebrations of coke dealing from rappers like Jeezy and Rick Ross into something nightmarish. Part of an Afro-futurist concept album about a new drug as addictive as crack that turns out to be a metaphor for the cruelty of capitalism, the video alternates between showing MC Denmark Vessey cooking up powder on his stove and brief inserts of sci-fi imagery (including John Carpenter’s classic pulp agitprop THEY LIVE.) The sinister feel of the beat and samples are matched by the grittiness of the video.

 

5. Spoon-“I Ain’t the One”
For a long time, performance clips were the bane of rock videos. The blue-tinted cinematography and moody lighting take “I Ain’t the One” as close to film noir as one can get without a narrative, just showing Spoon playing the song near an elevator.

 

6. Algiers-“Cleveland”
Algiers’ other video of 2017, “The Underside of Power,” attacked the FBI while paying tribute to Malcolm X and the Black Panthers. “Cleveland” goes for an even more ferocious attack on racism, seamlessly integrating footage of the band’s singer Franklin James Fisher with images of the KKK and protests from the ‘60s to the present, while mourning African-Americans who have been killed by the police in on-screen text.

 

7. U. S. Girls-“Velvet 4 Sale”
Here, U. S. Girls singer Meg Remy plays a cop who reminisces about her ineffective confrontations with abusive men while walking through Toronto. The song’s lyrics consist of a dialogue between two women about gun ownership. Out of uniform, Remy finally manages to drive her nemesis to recognize the harm he has done, sending him to suicide off a cliff in the video’s final moments.

 

8. Charli XCX-“Boys”
If you’ve watched many music videos in the past few years, you’ve seen plenty set in strip clubs or consisting of fully dressed male vocalists surrounded by women in bikinis. “Boys” turns the tables in a way that’s genuinely fun and playful, not just a feminist statement. The video films men like actor/rapper Riz Ahmed and producer Diplo (and many, many more) in sensual situations, obviously reflecting Charli XCX’s libido but with a sense of humor throughout.

 

9. Kendrick Lamar-“D.N.A.,”
10. Kendrick Lamar featuring Rhianna-“Loyalty”
11. Kendrick Lamar-“Humble”
At this point, Lamar’s album DAMN, which made it to #1 on almost every music critic’s 2017 top 10 list, is a bit overrated. Nevertheless, it’s a very thoughtful engagement with his own capacity for cruelty and violence and the difficulty of maintaining faith in such a dark world. These themes are illustrated in these videos. In “Loyalty,” he plays a gangster who beats up a man in front of his car and then orders Rhianna to suffocate another man with a plastic bag. However, if one pays closer attention, the second man is actually Lamar himself, wearing a white jacket and a black shirt, while the violent version of Lamar wears a black jacket and white shirt. The theme of doppelgangers continues in a more subtle form in his extremely celebrated “D.N.A.” video, which begins with Don Cheadle playing a cop starting to interrogate Lamar but lip-synching the song’s first few lines instead. Then the video completely changes course halfway through as the song’s beat shifts and ends with Lamar’s crew member Schoolboy Q punching out the camera. “Humble” is the video equivalent of prog-rock, with religious symbolism galore and so many locations and extras that it looks like it took several weeks and a $400,000 budget to shoot.

 

12. The National-“The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness”
This might be the most experimental video on the list, consisting of jumpy images of buildings taken from a drone and jarringly edited. There’s nothing approaching a narrative, and none of the band members appear in it. Nor does it add up to the political statement implied by the song’s title. However, it conveys the eerie quality of the credits sequence of many horror movies; it would work well if the National layered the spoken word text about the death of facts and consensus reality credited to Karl Rove and used on their song “Walk It Back” here.

 

13. Childish Gambino-“Redbone”
Despite ”Redbone” becoming a huge hit, Childish Gambino seems to have never made an official music video for his falsetto soul ballad. The production company Outfitted stepped in with an extremely slick unofficial one that evokes ‘90s neo-noir. Three criminals decide to kill one of their partners, and the main portion of the video shows one of them, now tortured with regret, lip-synching “Redbone” in the back seat of a car as a man dies while tied up in the trunk behind him. The video perfectly captures the paranoid mood of “Redbone,” which Jordan Peele played twice in his film GET OUT.

 

14, Lil Uzi Vert featuring Nicki Minaj-“The Way Life Goes”:
“The Way Life Goes” suggested that emo-inspired “SoundCloud rap” might lead to a new masculine persona in hip-hop after all; while Minaj seems full of life confidently rapping in a cabin, Uzi lip-syncs his part of the song tied to a tree with his eyes closed most of the time, next to an open grave, and winds up eventually killed by a woman. One could read this as a misogynist metaphor for a breakup, but the way life goes for all of us ends in a graveyard and way too many people live as though they may as well be tied up and half-asleep.

 

15. Yaeji-“Drink I’m Sippin On”
Korean-American singer/rapper/producer Yaeji’s video consists of her riding a bike and walking around Seoul, and having an innocent good night out that matches this song’s exceedingly mellow mood. There’s a matter-of-fact quality to the video that suits her music’s relaxed quality, and I appreciate the facts that she makes no attempt to sexualize herself or pretend she has any direct connection to “the streets,” despite the fact that she raps her way through “Drink I’m Sippin On” in Korean.

 

The year’s low point: Post Malone and 21 Savage’s “Rockstar,” in which they massacre dozens of Asian people, with buckets of blood, in a setting obviously inspired by samurai movies. So it’s OK to borrow from Asian culture while killing off faceless Asians outside of any narrative context or justification? Imagine the outcry if Malone had teamed up with Korean boyband BTS for a video in which they shoot African-Americans filled with tropes lifted from blaxploitation films.

p.s. Hey. Today the honourable Steve Erickson would like to share his top 15 music videos of the year with you. You are hereby kindly requested to watch and listen to what all of his fuss is about then give your opinions perhaps, counter with your favorites perhaps, or have some other response that you alone can devise. In any case, please let Steve know you care in your comments today, thank you. And thank you, Steve, for considering this place its home. ** Dóra Grőber, Hi! Welcome back! Nice Xmas you had there, food-wise and reading-wise. Yes, ‘The Sarah Book’ was great, right? My Xmas was very sort of nothing much other than the part where I ate some buche, which was very delicious and chocolatey, and I still have a third of it left to go. Like almost any other day, but quieter. Only two more job days to go! You can do it, Dóra! Ha ha. Me, I have a bunch of of work I need to do that I’m really not in the mood to do, so I’ll keep trying to get in the right mood to do that, hopefully today. Working on the new film script, which is what I should not be distracting myself by doing, but I can’t seem to help myself. Pretty lowkey otherwise. Did your second to last day of work have any highlights? ** Wolf, Wolfie!!!! Oh, shit, far better late than never. Damn my weirdly behaving blog. I didn’t have a Xmas tree either although the concierge put a little teeny fake one on top of our building’s mailboxes, so that was kind of nice. Other than part of a delicious buche cooked up by Hotel Shangri-La, I ate the same tofu-hotdogs, etc., I always eat. I didn’t mind. I thought ‘Wonder Woman’ was dark, or rather it made me feel dark that a mediocre superhero movie helmed by a female director was novel enough to have caused such a celebration. I’m good, working hard on stuff, or trying to. Paris is prettier than fuck. No complaints that I can think of. Yes, I do know of that Snow/Ice Festival. I did a post about it, but, whoa, like 8 years ago or something. It is absolutely due another, you’re right. Thank you! Dude, it’s awesomeness incarnate to get to see you! Love that explodes the word galore, me. ** David Ehrenstein, Mm, I hope you’re right about ‘not much longer’. I remain unconvinced of that for now. Congratulations on your Jon Swift Award! ** Steve Erickson, Hi. Thank you personally for this glorious day here. Thank you for noting the Link post. Do I know Moonshake? I can’t remember. I’ll go find out. ** Sypha, Well, you can’t get well without slogging through the mucus filled purgatory, I guess. Your book list is epic. It could be published as an experimental novel, and I would make a post about it probably. You must be the only person in the world who would have both Skullflower and Kesha on your best music list. Well, except for possibly Philip Best. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi. Oh, even instant slush snow sounds good to me. Ha ha, only because I couldn’t find a shot of link in a snowy landscape wherein he radiated loneliness, which is interesting, isn’t it? Nice Xmas haul, duh. ** Kinkton, Hey, man. I loved your Xmas gift. It was my favourite Xmas gift. Word. Plus your Xmas kind of wins my Best Xmas of 2017 Contest that I just decided to hold based on your Xmas’s greatness. See me in Paris? Sweet. What kind of trouble? ** Misanthrope, Hi. Oh, my post got love! And from you no less! It’s pretty rare that a post wherein I actually use my personal creativity gets much love around here, so accept a gaze from my slightly teary eyes. Oh, okay, your cube is a pure cube. Or almost except for that disruptive book. No, that’s good, like the flaw in a Persian rug kind of good. Aww, really, awwwww about that twin. Such sweetness. ** Right. The post has been introduced. You have been urged to comment in its regard. We’re all ship-shape here for today. See you tomorrow.
