Contact: iguana A lady friend has dropped a hint that she'd like a pair of fur-lined manacles. Nothing of the sort is to be found retail where I live. Can anyone suggest a dependable mail-order supplier likely to carry fur-lined, but otherwise medieval-style, restraints? No, I don't feel competent to make them for her, I even have trouble defrosting my refrigerator. I'm in something of a hurry, so please send me direct mail as well as replying to the digest. Moderator: please set up a mailbox for me, under the name "iguana". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Sep 88 23:42:28 edt From: Kat Subject: Questions for Robert and Susan Contact: kat To Robert and Susan, I have 3 comments/questions for you. First, I have very, very much enjoyed your postings and letters. They are some of the most arousing and erotic stories I have read, I think because they are real. I've seen similar stories in contact B&D and D&S magazines, but yours still seem better. There have been 1 or 2 replies semi-directed towards you which have been on the negative side. I think that the overwhelming majority of the readers enjoy your contributions, so please do not be discouraged by occasional letters like this. Second, I've read that most peopel who participate in D&S and B&D have a known escape word (I know there is a more specific name for it, but I can't remember it now) that usually the submissive will use to indicate that he/she has had enough (obviously, a simple 'Stop' is not practical). Has Susan ever reached that point. Some of your stories have been difficult for me just to read at one sitting, and I sometimes wonder how she could actually endure it (note that I'm not just referring to any physically pain, but also the mental anguish of not being able to relieve herself through an orgasm). Finally, in your last posting, you (actually Susan) mentioned a pair of high heels with locking straps that she was wearing. Could you (or her) describe them a little bit more, ie. how high are the heels, how much they cost, where you bought them, etc.? I have a big fetish for heels and they sound like a pair worth checking out. Again, keep up the great stories! KAT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Sep 88 16:45:59 EDT From: The NightMailer Subject: Eating Out I have greatly enjoyed your recent P&W Digest, especially numbers 6 and 8. I loved the computer domination in #6. I chose to do my "Arts & Crafts" assignment in a local restaurant. The waiter looked at me funny when I asked him for the waxed paper, but the humiliation was such a turn on when I realized everybody could actually see me applying the contact cement to the closed cell foam! I anxiously await further instructions, Master. Erotic condiments have always been a special turn-on for me. I hope my office-mates didn't notice my panting as I read how Froh made Jane eat the broccoli stalk with relish. I've always enjoyed baked potatoes with mustard. I've found the Guilden's Golden to be an especially stimulating condiment, although some people prefer to play at "English Boarding-School" fantasies and use Dijon. A former lover used to play she was a truck-stop waitress, and used to be turned on when I pulled in my "big rig" and poured maple syrup on sausage and hash browns, but I know this kind of thing offends some people's sensibilities. -- The NightMailer [[ Smirk. -dm ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Sep 88 16:49:31 edt From: A Man Subject: TV Date Contact: aman Hi! This is my first posting to PWDigest, but I feel it is time. Most of the postings recently have been about bondage (as many people have complained), so I thought a change of subject would be welcome. My perversion is cross-dressing. Over the years, I have gone from simply wearing one or two of the "tastier" items of women's clothing to dressing completely, right to makeup, wig, and stockings. Since I started, I have built up quite a large wardrobe of clothes, all of them chosen for their sensuality. But, no matter how many dresses, skirts, and pieces of lingerie I have, my favorite will always be high heels. It is the love of these that probably got me started in cross-dressing. The sight of a good-looking woman (or just about any woman) in sexy high heels and stockings can get me hard any time. Needless to say, it is the shoes that set the stage for the rest of the clothes I wear. My favorite pair of heels are 6" tall open-toed sandals made of black patent leather. They go with almost anything, although I feel they are best complemented by a very short mini skirt. When I am fully dressed (and I always dress to impress), I go on an exhibitionist show. I know that I dress to get men hard, so that is my aim. I live near a big enough city to have some good places to show a little leg (OK, a lot of leg ;-), and it even has a couple of bars that cater to the cross-dressing and gay crowd. I am primarily on the straight side of bisexual, and have had some good times with both sexes, dressed or not. The reason I have decided to post now is that I have been looking forward to a "date" for two weeks now. It is the first time I am taking my newest mini-micro spandex skirt out in public for a show. I hope my date likes it. I know I do. The person I am going out with is someone I met through the personals of a slightly "underground" newspaper that has a lot of unusual personal ads. He also likes to dress, although not in public, so he is going "straight" for this one. Well, I will write back after my date, and tell you all how it went. A Man ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Sep 88 17:52 MDT From: Bill Subject: Interest feeler (pun intended) Contact: bill1 Since nobody seems to be covering areas of interest to me, I guess I will start the ball rolling and see if I can get some talk going in such areas. I am a divorced/white/male/submissive into heavy BD and mild SM. One area of interest to me is electric shock treatments. What I have noticed is that there is a gap between what appears in various published stories, and what one can really buy as equipment. The equipment that I can find also suffers from what I consider real safety problems. I also think that there are some areas where there is not enough imagination is being shown. So, here are my thoughts on the subjects. In the few fantasies that I have seen that deal with electric shock, people are often dealing with radio controlled shockers. This is an interesting idea, which I think can be used to great effect. However, no place that I can find has such an item for sale. Does anybody know of a source? In building a few "home builts" I have come to understand how hard it is to have a radio controled shocker that does not put out enough noise to keep itself triggering. I have found that, while it can be done, it is a pains takeing (no pun intended) task to properly shield it. Another problem is that the average house abounds with sources of Radio Frequence (RF) noise. The best solution that I have been able to find is to actually listen on two frequencies, and to trigger when a signal is seen on the active frequency and not on the control frequency. (This avoids most household noise sources which show up on all frequencies.) Has anybody else found a better solution? Has anybody else ever built a real one, or do these just show up in fantasies? I looked at several different commercial shockers, and I have noticed that many general safety considerations seem to be missing in all of the ones that I have seen. The standard commercial unit is basicly an oscillator followed by a step up transformer. The units I have seen do not do any current sensing on either side of the transformer, and use the maximum output of the battery as the only current limiting factor, and are not in general even fused. This strikes me as a dangerious item. For example, if the shocker delivers a healthy jolt on dry skin, then when the skin becomes wet or injured its resistance drops enough to make the current high enough to inflict burns. This does not seem to be reasonable to me. I have been measuring skin resistance in "reasonable" situations, and have found that it can vary by a factor of five in cases that can occur in standard B&D practice. I realize that current limiting on the output high voltage side is not reasonable, but a current regulator on the input side is quite reasonable, and a fuse backing that up seems to be quite reasonable. This may make it cost more, but the safety considerations seem to outweigh this to me. There are some practical advantages to building them this way also, it means that you get the same apparent level of shock over all situations, and can therefore set the value higher without causing problems later when the victim becomes sweaty. Is anybody aware of a commercial unit with any reasonable safety features? Do I have to continue building my own? It seems that there are several uses for shockers that have great (to my tastes anyway) potential that have not appeared in the literature that I have been exposed to. Forgive me if the stuff I am about to list is all "Female inflicting on Male" stuff, but that happens to be my taste. The most interesting variation to me is the vaginally triggered radio controled shocker. While there is some work involved in detecting the contractions of the vagina, it does give a triggering method that has a number of advantages. On advantage is that it is a "Hands free" operation, and can be triggered by the woman any time without doing anything obvious. Just think, from the point of view of a bystander, she just has to become angry at him and he "magicly" drops in pain. There are several practical considerations to this, the foremost being that you really have to detect changes in the contraction and not the actual level of contraction. This may not be obvious, but it seems that the vigina contracts while a woman is asleep, and can stay that way for hours. (This is a fact learned from the first attempt at this, does anybody know why this occurs, or whether is is really contraction or just other parts pressing in?) Triggering on onset, and releaseing on relax or 5 seconds seems to be a good working rule. There are still some times that one gets a false trigger, but I think that they are reasonable. The two times I have most noticed are; First when she climaxes, this tends to shock the shit out of the slave since there are contractions at climax. Second when she goes to the bathroom, there tend to be random shocks when she squeezes down to take a shit. There were occasional other random times, but I was never able to track down the actual cause of them. Is there anybody else out there experimenting in this area? I have not been able to continue any testing since my divorce, but I would be quite willing to correspond with anybody that is doing so, and offer my advice. Is this subject of any general interest? Is it too detailed for the non-hardware hackers? Not enough detail for the hardware hackers? Do people want to hear about such sessions? Anybody want to share any? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Sep 88 17:58:24 EDT From: Robert & Susan Subject: Responses to other posts Contact: robert1 > (anonymous) > You might be interested to know that while I practice domination also > with my <slave>, it takes quite a different form from yours, almost > entirely centering on public humilation and exposure. Thanks for your letter -- Susan says she'd love to know what motel you two stay at so we can drive by and watch! What a perfect evening it would be if we could find a motel with two rooms facing each other... Unfortunately, Susan is 98% opposed to any form of public sex play, even if it just involves wearing toys under street clothes. I really get off on that kind of scene, but we've only done it three times, and I doubt that I can talk her into a fourth. For her to enjoy wild sex play, she must feel secure, and the "danger" of exposure destroys her security. So we play our games in the privacy of our own home, and hide behind real and electronic "post office boxes." The only photos we trade hide her identity as completely as possible. So that means I really enjoyed your letter: if I can't do it, I like to read about other people who can (and if they're exciting enough, maybe Susan will change her mind! -- Robert & Susan inco!alembic!robert1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Sep 88 08:14:52 EDT From: Robert & Susan Subject: current voting on photo format Contact: robert1 So far the votes are PostScript 3 As is plus filter for postscript 1 X11 bitmap (600x900) 1 GIF (or IFF) 1 Neochrome, Degas, IFF, or Sun raster 1 PBM 1 Formats mentioned more than once PostScript 4 IFF 2 Formats that are convertable from Jef Poskanzer's PBM format X11 and X10 bitmaps X11 window dump files Sun icons Sun raster files MacPaint GIF PostScript Printronix printer graphics HP LaserJet Remember that the original images are 640x400x8 bit gray scale, at a quarter megabyte each. One reader has built a filter that he is willing to distribute that converts my ASCII (really just 6bit gray scale) to an 8bit PostScript file or 1bit bitmap (it even adjusts the aspect ratio and does smoothing). The PBM format is appealing because of the availability of Jef's conversion code and the fact that that vote came from the P&W Digest moderator. I see four non-exclusive options right now 1. Continue with the ASCII postings, making them larger (more resolution) and publishing one or more C programs to convert them into PostScript or 1bit deep files. [ this is the easiest, but not very satisfactory ] 2. Publish PostScript 8bit files with as much resolution as space permits (a 160 by 130 8bit PostScript file is about 53k). [ this may make too much net traffic, calling the wrath of the system administrators down on us. But we all have postscript, don't we? ] 3. Make the images available in PBM format (compressed) on a UUCP mail archive or anonymous FTP repository. [ once an image has been halftoned, you can't resize it or process it digitally very well ] 4. Make the original files [600x400x8] files available via UUCP mail archive or anonymous FTP. [ this tends to cut off the UUCP only crowd, and the 8bit files are enormous. But there'd be no loss of information between my scanner and you ] If you haven't voted, please send your votes to inco!alembic!robert1. If you have any comments (or offers of distribution, code, or your own photos), send mail too. By the way, MS.UKY.EDU has some great soft-core bitmaps available for anonymous FTP. User: anonymous, Password: <id>, get copies of ./archive/README and ./archive/directory. They are in Macpaint format. But I don't know if they'd be willing to store B&D oriented photos (maybe just the less explicit ones). Jef Poskanzer claims to be in the market for more bitmaps, but he doesn't publish much in the way of pornography. Maybe that's his policy, maybe he just doesn't have any yet. -- Robert & Susan inco!alembic!robert1 [[ I will look into making the pbm conversion routines available through the archive server, if that's the way the vote goes. - dm ]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of Perverts and Weirdos Digest ************************ -------
