This was the first mirror picture I ran into, and it sort of typifies a particular narrative. She’s been put here to look at her own submission.
A million years ago when I was really uncomfortable with the idea of being a submissive, and with BDSM in general, I remember finding a short essay somewhere on the internet. It was by an M/f couple, and she was pregnant, and they were talking about how they had adapted their usual whips-and-chains routine to deal with her pregnancy (which they were being supercareful about…I think they had banned spanking, even). I remember reading that essay was one of the first times I thought: O, kinky people can get together and be thoughtful, nice human beings. It was very eye-opening.
Also, I’m just guessing here, but seems like that tie would be pretty comfy if you were pregnant.

Water is the original mirror.

Not actually a mirror, but pretty close.

Le Cuir Triomphant, 1934
There were two fetish authors who both used the pseudonym Alan Mac Clyde. This is by the earlier of the two. The cover design is by Carlo, and I’ve seen it referenced as the earliest example of the modern, hard-media leather dominatrix. Though right here at the get-go, the subs are in hard-media leather fetish, too.

The two dommes are BFFs. When they get together on the weekends with their lovers, they like to have the subs perform for them.

I generally avoid images of supercomplicated bondage/torture/fetish setups, which usually seem like basically an engineering kink. It’s not that I’m against the idea, but normally those images don’t have much storyline or emotional interest. Here, I kind of like the story, but I am completely absorbed in the physics of the situation. I mean, I can’t tell whether it makes any real difference when the dog goes for the bone. After all, her ankles are held at a fixed height, and it seems like the wooden pony is hanging from her(?)
Confuuuuuusing.
Such an enticing bone.
