Flagellation Circus Act?

The tension reaches its peak in this example of flagellation as performance art when she takes aim at the bottom puff.

Was this an illustration for some strange story?

Chained & Beaten Man

This image is one of a group of drawings Gene Bilbrew did under the pseudonym Van Rod. They are all of consistent quality. The illustrations appear to tell at least one story. If you know something of their provenance and context I hope you’ll leave a comment.

Gene Bilbrew: Bondage & Discipline

Ordinarily I shy away from posting BDSM illustrations that show women in bondage on Femdom Artists. But both of these Gene Bilbrew covers have Femdomish elements.

Her Boots Have Spurs

I’ve been trying to figure out what is going on in this Gene Bilbrew cover.

His tie, the palm tree and Spanish-American building suggest the American Southwest. I think he has money in his hand. Maybe he’s a criminal. Though he looks like an old-fashioned delivery man to me.

Submitting to Mistress Domneeta

Gene BIlbrew is a frustrating artist.

Some of his work is awful. I my guess is that it was rushed. He was probably paid only a pittance. And the publisher had no real interest in quality.

Some of his most striking designs were done for John Willie. Willie probably provided a description or rough sketch of what he desired.

And there was the wonderfully polished work. Partiularly a sequence as Van Rod.

“Bound” Correspondence was surely a F/m personal ads magazine.

The two Mistresses are certainly make it hard for the submissive man to write his letter.

My Favorite Gene Bilbrew Illustration

Bondage Threesome by Gene Bilbrew

I don’t care much for calling things favorites. Really the objects are most beloved given certain contingencies and qualifications. Often merely transitory as your inner life shifts or you enlarge your acquaintance with other objects.

But for a few F/m artists I do have favorite works that have retained that status for years.

I remember showing this image to my former dearly beloved. She licked the woman. That startled me. I’d hardly noticed her. It was the masochist on his knees sobbing that fixed my attention.

Something about the way he was holding his face in his hands made me feel that he had gone to a special masochistic emotional space that in my life I’ve approached, only approached and only one time when I had my only S&M out-of-body experience.

I envy him.

Almost always if a BDSM photograph or illustration features both the top and bottom my response to the image is most heavily determined by what I see in the bottom. His emotional state. Women with arched eyebrows looking down their noses at you are fine. But I want someone to empathize with. (There are exceptions like this photograph of Midori.)

At some future date I’ll have to remember to complain at how little pleasure and fun is depicted in F/m imagery.

My thanks to The Art of Gene Bilbrew for the image.

Her Human Male Pet

I think this Paul Kamm drawing of the human male as pet is directly inspired by a Hata Deli drawing that Gene Bilbrew also drew on for inspiration.

High heels combined with that awful posture: unendurable.

Table Trample

I was unaware of trample fetish until I fell in love with someone who wanted to walk all over me in the most literal sense possible. My initial response was: You want to do what to me? It proved a safe enough form of D/s if practiced prudently – unlike the Bilbrew drawing below.

Bilbrew Femdom Trample Art

When I was trying to learn about trample fetish I read account my nutty men who wanted women to press their heels against the men’s eyes. Or boast of the crack rib suffered when a very weighty woman walked across their bodies.

Femdom Seapony?

Bilbrew Fantasia Fourteen

Born in Los Angeles, Gene Bilbrew made his debut in the Los Angeles Sentinel with the series ‘The Bronze Bomber’, together with Bill Alexander. After this, he made the series ‘Hercules’ in Health Magazine. He then became an assistant to Will Eisner on ‘The Spirit’. He met Eric Stanton, who suggested he start working for publisher Irving Klaw.

What Would Women Like in Femdom Art?

Some months back I was looking at a wonderfully complicated and uncomfortable woman in bondage illustration by Gene Bilbrew. My bottom component was ascendant and I envied her discomfort. There was no top of either gender in the drawing.

How many images there are of women in bondage with no one else in the scene I thought. But almost none – anime / managa art excepted – in F/m art. (Solo men in bondage are common in M/m BDSM art.)

After a few minutes of witlessness wonder resolved itself. Almost all BDSM art is produced for a male audience. Heterosexual dominant men are happy to see a lone female in bondage. A male top can imagine that he put her there.

Submissive and masochistic straight guys want to see the female top. A mere male in bondage would bore them. (It wouldn’t me.) An artist works either for the paying customers (so few, I know) and himself.

Nothing wrong with all of this. But it did leave me wondering what sort of Femdom artwork a female top would enjoy.

Years ago a smart and sadistic woman whose thoughts I’ve always valued told me that the acme of male beauty was the sight of a man suffering for her pleasure.

In most F/m art men look afraid or nervous. During an S&M session you may grimace but unless you somehow fallen into the hands of a psychotic woman you don’t look scared. (I’m not saying what artists depict is wrong: this isn’t about good and bad.)

A submissive expression. Real life submission is often relaxed and blissful. You may stare at her with adoration. If you fall into a trance – subspace – your brain may be so closed down you look like an idiot. I even cried once. But they were happy tears.

One quality that baffles me in much F/m art. The supposedly submissive guy looks irked or annoyed.

Another woman commenting on some entry on Fetish Pop Culture liked a F/m book cover because the man was good-looking. I hadn’t thought about this before. But speaking as a pansexual man many of the males in Femdom art are not attractive. Sardax and Stanton have produced a few pretty boys. Bilbrew when he had the time drew some handsome guys. But the majority of men in F/m art would have to pay. I guess that might be true to life.

A nice woman commented on a post elsewhere:

That is a wonderful photo of a dominant woman, strength of purpose without the overtly fetish look that is so often used.

I like fetish wear. But a simple denim skirt carries lots of authority. This isn’t a big issue. Many F/m artists show women in ordinary clothes. The heavy fetish gear often appears in work of illustrations who aren’t submissive or even kinky.

A woman whose opinion I deeply value commented on an image in an entry.

The muscle guy is hot enough, but that picture at the bottom is just great. I have a caretaking fetish (kind of a sadism/caretaking fetish) that is being met with it. His facial expression is fine and doesn’t throw me out of the picture or anything, but if he looked like he was being taken care of it would give it that little extra something for me.

Not likely to be seen is it?

NB:

  • Subjectivity acknowledged.
  • Exceptions are exceptional.
  • Images of Chivalry ignored.
  • Those involved in BDSM as a profession or hobby not referenced in this post.

How to Train a Male

The Dominant Female
How to Train a Husband

This reminds me strongly of the sequence Gene Bilbrew drew as Van Rod. So much so that the latter seems like either an attempt to do it better or was requested by an editor who saw this earlier F/m effort.
