The episode I watched most recently included a sort of helmet that was designed to impede (but not prevent) vision, hearing, speech and to induce shame in the wearer.
On some levels, that's hot.
Allegedly, this was designed to silence a nag and to be worn in public. Also? It was tool (the least horrific on the show dating from the same era in British history) to enforce Christian morality.
Right.
You couldn't make something more to order for a sadist or a masochist if you tried.
]]>We need to keep paying attention and asking questions.
Thank you for all of the laughs, George.
Rest in peace.
]]>She put her hair in 'tails just for me.
]]>Two braids. In front of her shoulders.
Guess where the braids end.
]]>If I could have done then what I can do now, BAMS would likely have never been a blog. A majority of my early Blogger posts would have worked really well in that format, as would some of my serial short story experiments.
The Twitter paradigm (or something like it) really needs to be exploited for erotic ends, though I would suggest that while nothing in the Twitter Terms of Service says that you can't do it, there is nothing that says they won't delete accounts or content at will, either.
At any rate, while I have thought often about Tweeting as Sinner, it's premature. I would like guarantees that I just don't see.
Can you hear me knocking?
]]>But she was asking people, "If I put this on my boyfriend's car seat, do you think he will know what it means?"
Internally I shuddered. But I kept my poker face. I simply nodded "Yes."
I wish I would have said "It means you are a princess."
]]>Well, I'm going to look.
I'm just saying.
]]>On Friday I started to consider therapy and medications again.
Briefly.
Then I remembered the pain and hassle of monthly or bi-weekly or weekly appointments. First, and regularly, with the psychiatrist for simple med checks, and then even more with the prescribed therapy. Trying to convince the therapist you are for real. Figuring out the therapist has no clue, either. The endless trips to the pharmacy. The insurance bureaucracy. The pill-minders. The relentless schedule. The loss of erections.
And that's a layer of crap I just don't want or need in my life right now.
I'll change a lot on my own to avoid all of that, thank you very much.
Sometimes the help you can get is not the kind of help you need.
Moving on.
]]>I had downloaded several files of her singing acapella, years ago. I saved them in my iTunes library. Today one came up in random rotation.
Brought a big smile to my face.
]]>But for some reason, for some people, this disqualifies me from being a "true" BDSM practitioner.
But I ask you, is a gay man any less gay if he only sucks cock in the bedroom, if he doesn't talk about what he does with his parents or children, and if he tones it down at work?
I don't know. Maybe the homosexual community has angst like this, but I'm a breeder so I don't have any insight.
It just seems silly and misguided.
Real. Who are you to tell me what my real is?
Whatever.
I suppose I shouldn't let the discussion list trolls get to me.
]]>The judgement and idealism is unrealistic and unnecessarily harsh.
We suck as a community.
All of us. Suck.
Please stop with the suck.
Love each other and learn from each other. Anything else is destructive.
Stop.
Please.
Stop.
]]>She sent a link to the video for a song called "Pray for Me," by SIXX:A.M. Yes, that Sixx! Apparently, he has been to hell and back...
The video is shot in black-and-white, and parts are NSFW. My favorite part is at the end, the last three or four shots. If you watch the video a second time, it puts the first sequence into a whole different light. It's deliciously evil.
I liked the lyrics, too. Dark is good.
I have to ask: Isn't that Jezebelle Bond?
]]>I heard about FyreTV about the time of the Adult Entertainment Expo. I believe I saw it first on Gizmodo, which mentioned the service was now in beta and accepting testers. What was I to do but to sign up? I figured, worst case, I would have to wait until it was a commercial product.
Two weeks ago I received an email asking me to confirm some personal information on the FyreTV web site. Once that was done, more communications confirmed my "Master-Beta" beta tester status. Another email announced a tracking number. Yay!
Last Monday I received the unit but it wasn't until Wednesday night that I had the time to devote to the installation.
Geek/Tech Part:
The box is quite small and light. Other than the labeling on the back for the various jacks it is all black. I would say it's roughly a third as wide as a traditional stereo or video component, and about half as tall. All that is visible on the smooth front is a red power light and an activity light. No logos. No names.
Set up was no more or less difficult than installing a DVD player, if your DVD player required an Ethernet connection. So, in my case, that necessitated some quick drilling to run some an extra network cable. My TV had available inputs so it was then only a matter of finding cables, of which I also fortunately had spares. There were some cables in the package for HDMI and left and right audio, but my TV was built before HDMI so I had to go with component video.The FyreTV unit also supports DVI output, but my one DVI input was already taken by my cable box. Definitely very nice to have options. S-video is the fourth alternative.
Also nice is that FyreTV supports wide screens. My TV has a 16:9 aspect ratio screen and I was able to select that on setup. This can be changed on-the-fly.
The one set-up "gotcha" for me was that the PIN number for the beta is not the PIN number for your personal account. I did not notice mention of that in any email communication or while I was creating my account at the FyreTV web site, but did I find the solution in their support forums.
Using the FyreTV:
It's in beta (as I may have mentioned) and even in the few days I have operated the device there has already been an update to the system. Everything is still subject to change.
As of this writing, there are about 175 movies on tap. During the beta period viewing those movies is effectively free and unlimited. They have promised a significant number of movies by launch, so I anticipate this should change dramatically.
You can search by title, studio, genre, actor/actress, and probably other ways I'm not remembering. The search is designed such that you can search across all titles, or you can add criteria to keep narrowing the focus. With 175 titles from 4 studios, today, this might not be as big of an issue. But if, as they promise, they increase selection to 20,000 titles, this will be paramount.
You can also browse through the covers of the videos as though they were DVDs. That interface is reminiscent of cover-flow on the Mac or in iTunes, but it's not as fluid. While there aren't detailed descriptions of each title, I think the cover art and title tell you as much as you really need to know. Once a title has been selected, you can choose to play from the beginning or you can select chapters from a thumbnail view.
I can tell you that we-who-are-kinky have not been ignored. While their breadth of title selection is not there yet, the categories already in place show there will be content that covers my various interests and pushes my hot buttons.
Also? This is not Cinemax. This is not R-Rated, NC-17, or unrated. It's explicit porn. Streamed to you over your broadband connection.
The picture quality and the response of the device is really damned good. Honestly I was surprised that the setup went so smoothly and that once I had my PIN number entered, the porn was streaming right away.
You can choose the video quality in a sort of a "good, better, best" arrangement. They equate the best to "DVD quality." While this is in principle true, my internet connection won't stream that much data that fast without artifacts and hiccoughs, but "Near DVD" looks really very good. I would say it looks much better than the highest quality recording on my Series2 TiVo. To date, my experience has been that once the video starts, it keeps playing.
The remote is OK. It seems that there is probably a better way to group the keys by function, but it does the job. Batteries were included, by the way.
The menus aren't as intuitive as an iPod or a TiVo, but again the service is in beta, so I doubt what I'm seeing today will be the final product. The issue I have is knowing which botton will take me back or up a level at which time. But I'm learning.
Features I haven't explored yet are the playlists and favorites. My understanding from the forums is that these are not "sticky" yet and still in development, so I am going to wait before I comment on those.
I'm happy to answer any questions, but if you are interested at all in the service then the web site is the place to go: FyreTV.com See also: Fyre TV FAQ
]]>I've found myself at times imagining a cross between Narnia and Middle Earth. A Winter Witch has sent the continuous weather this way and her voice, the spell, is audible in the wind.
But even as the snow is still falling, there are flowers in the garden who insist they must reach for the sun and their green shoots have already come forth. And the snow melts where it lands.
I tell myself I wouldn't mind so much if it was rain, being the April showers that bring May flowers. The fact of the matter is that I want my yard to dry out and firm up. And I miss being in the sun.
]]>As always you are wise beyond your years. :)
Aw!]]>You're way too kind.

I was stunned when I heard it heard on the news tonight.
I admire a man that can stir up controversy and still manage to walk away with an awesome career. I actually swooned over him in "Jersey Girl".
God rest his soul. No one can/will ever replace him.
All true. All true. He had a spirit that deserves to be kept alive.]]>~Sinner
He was one of my favorite comedians, and I think one of the best social commentators ever in the history of mankind. I think less people will question things without him around to badger us into it.
I'm truly saddened.
Devi,]]>In the short term, I think you're right. In the long term, I hope you're wrong... I'm no comedian, I only poke and prod around the sexual stuff.
(He said "poke and prod!")
~Sinner
I will be teary eyed all day. George was my favorite comic! His brilliance will be missed sorely.
In recent years I began to understand how courageous he was to do the routines he did.]]>I think he was extraordinary.
~Sinner
That is, without doubt, the worst news I've heard yet today.
Ciao, brother.
I've been thinking that I should pour one out for the fallen.]]>~Sinner
I can only grumble that the British press decided not to run this story.
I am truly heartsick, the first time I ever laughed until I cried was because of Carlin.
You are right, a star has gone out.
I don't suppose he makes a nice sound-bite because he went after so many sacred cows. But he did have a long career because he kept reinventing himself. he was a brilliant man.]]>~Sinner
may joe pesci rest his soul. amen.
"...Because Joe Pesci gets things done!"]]>Rock on, lollidoll!
~Sinner
Hottest blog ever. Nothing more intimate than that one moment...then it's all downhill from there :)
Downhill, I assume you mean, as the joy builds to release and the ability to to control or resist gives way to the need?]]>~Sinner
mmmm, delicious. I've never been told that one, but similar sentiments always get the blood boiling. SEXY!
Thank you, Miss 'kitty.]]>~Sinner
Emperor Sinner! You say the nicest naughtiest things!
;) I aim to please!]]>~Sinner
