I don’t know what the story here is, or whether they’re like inside some flooded dungeon or hanging on the outside of a boat?  But sharks are always bad.

She had earned a hundred lashes for disobedience.  But her brother sub is feeling super courageous and he’s volunteered to take the last thirty.

This is more in the schoolgirl realm, but what is striking to me is how small she is, and how she has him wrapped around her finger. OK, not her finger, but you get the idea…

Tom Sargent (not the economist) seems to have had a set of stock characters and items of clothing (those blue-and-white striped stockings, for instance) that he kept going back to.   The way I read this image, the big girl who’s being stripped and tied up is about to get whipped.  But the little girl on the right in the bondage chair is up next.  She’ll have to watch, then it’s her turn. Mr. Sargent doesn’t associate size with subby-ness.

Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan having fetish fuel fun with the mummies in The Mummy.  That’s not a bulb of garlic, it’s a canopic jar.

This image is sort of the quintessential tree bondage picture: most of the stuff I could find is in some way a version of this.  But first, a few notes on that hunt: While going through my “liked” folder looking for trees, I couldn’t help but notice that very few of the photographs are taken outdoors at all.  I had expected pony-play and crucifixion themes to feature trees a lot, but they too are usually shot indoors.  This makes a certain amount of sense: fetish photography tends to go on “behind closed doors”, and trees are outside.  But it does raise some questions about the role of the outdoors in kink.

Huh…the girl on the left is definitely Erich von Gotha, who signed this, but the girl holding the mirror looks like Ben Newman. A collaboration?  An overlay?

Another major subtrope is the submissive being left there in front of the mirror, to contemplate their role…. oooooo. masochisticbeauty: Because it’s for your pleasure and your pleasure always becomes my own. ~shivers~

I love the way she’s consoling him.  I can imagine all sorts of condescension:  “I’m so sorry, sweetie, but I promised them.”

Ok, now let’s move on to the other end of this trope—the actual arrival of the monster / animal / creature. The above, obviously, is from the original King Kong in 1933, back when Hollywood made movies with original storylines.  This is the scene where the Ann Darrow character (played by, and nearly always referred to as, Fay Wray) is being sacrificed to Kong.   It illustrates a handful of themes that will keep coming back in the next few images.  First of all, there is the ambiguity of getting devoured = getting ravished.  (I’ve never really understood why Kong needed these little human dumplings…he ought to be eating gigantic Jurassic bananas or something.) Second of all, there’s the undercurrent of all metaphors that we put on animals.  With King Kong (and generally with the great apes) there is an implied racial metaphor, but it isn’t clear-cut.  As many folks have pointed out, Kong might evoke white fears of blackness, but Kong is essentially the hero of the movie.  All these metaphors blur into the general notion of “bestial” sexuality, which has nothing much to do with actual beasts having sex. Finally, from David Rosen: The Hays Office censored what it considered the objectionable scenes in KING KONG, which included one sequence on the island where Kong gently tears Ann’s clothes off, strokes her with his finger, and then sniffs it.
