The Business of Sex #ShowStigmaTheFinger with Hot Octopus by Tabitha Rayne

This drives me mad. We can use sex to sell everything but we can’t make money from sex, work that one out?! And whilst we’re on this particular rant, why is violence deemed perfectly acceptable when sex isn’t? We live in a backwards world where enjoyment is seen as taboo.

This is me by Kayla Lords

This beautifully written post hit me right in the feels. I have been reminded in a brutal way this month that you can’t just shake off those bully’s words, they stay with you even when you think you’ve moved beyond them. The pain and the seemingly endless self criticisms are real. One day I am going to be as awesome as Kayla, rise above it and hold my head up high and show them my finger.

Used body for sale by Francesca Demont

I was left feeling so sad when I read this piece. Fear of rejection is such a hard thing to deal with, sometimes we need to take a deep breath and find our brave but its not always possible to do that. Sometimes these situations cause us to question who we are at our core, sometimes its just a minor irritation we need to move beyond. Either way it has a deep impact on us and shapes our lives. One thing I’m certain of is he doesn’t see a used body but the beautiful woman we all see here.

(Life) Bearing all and getting back to basics by Floss

When I first read this I felt such a deep sadness. Then I read it again and realised I’d been looking at things the wrong way. All of us go through phases in our lives, some of those phases are long term, some of them aren’t. Sometimes we need a break from a phase to re-adjust before stepping back into it again, sometimes the change is permanent.  Life changes aren’t always endings, they are new beginnings. I look forward to finding out what new direction Floss will end up taking.

This months gorgeous images

Order by Little Switch Bitch

I have never really understood why people enjoy being Dominant or toppy, it just isn’t something I am. Then I saw this image and I understood why. The vulnerability, the strength, the power and the submission just oozes out of this image. It is ALL the sexy!

Fire burn by Molly Moore

I’m utterly mesmerised by this image. Fire is a life long fascination of mine, I grew up being taught how to respect it and not to fear it. I’ll spend hours gazing into the flames and enjoying the heat it gives off. For years I have wanted to do an image (or few) with fire as the focus but I’ve never really had the opportunity. This ticked all my fire loving boxes. The warmth and beauty of the flames are captivating, the long exposure has made the sparks draw pictures across the image, oh and the beautiful arse helps too.

Hand by Honey

Wow…that arse! I love fishnets so this is always going to be a winner for me but the hand just gripping enough for a bit of control and the tell tale toys in the background just finish the image off perfectly.

Excited, Nervous – Save the Date! by Submissy

It appears I’m not the only one in this household that picked out this image as a favourite as my partner picked it for his Sinful Sunday round-up. It just goes to show how similar we are in ways of thinking, either that or we’ve both got very good taste. I adore socks and stockings and the Harlequin style to these are just amazing and probably also gives you a very big clue as to who my favourite comic book character is!

Pull over by Purple Sole

Quite clearly its bum week! This made me laugh, there have been so many occasions where I’ve driven past something and wanted to take a photo, normally when I’m on my own which isn’t very helpful, so Gem clearly is a woman after my own heart. I am a huge fan of outdoor shots and this is just so beautiful with the pretty purple meadow flowers.
