Making bread is such a sensual pleasure.
I wasn’t going to do a Sinful Sunday this weekend as I’ve got a houseful of people to cook for. Also, I decided that not to do a Sinful Sunday, to deny myself its weekly fix of reads and comments, would be a good discipline as I am spending too much time admiring my growing readership. “Let the numbers drop for one week”, I told myself .
But I was up early baking bread and, as my hands worked the soft, ripe dough, messaging it, controlling it, shaping it, I enjoyed the sensory pleasure so much I decided to share it.
Handling dough is a dominant act, not a submissive one, yet you also have to take great care in your manipulation of it. It’s necessary to be strong, firm and assertive, to show the dough your strength, yet not abuse it; force the dough to obey your will yet not be aggressive with it.
There’s a point in kneading when the dough relaxes, becomes pliant in your hands, all resistance gone. At that point you can manipulate it using only your fingers, almost stroking it with just the very lightest of touches.
That’s always a special moment….the moment when it finally submits.
For those who like the idea of combining sex, kink and baking here’s a very spanky little story I wrote last year.
Actually now that I look at the loaf again, an hour into its four hour rise, perhaps its not as innocent as I thought. Perhaps it is a legitimate Sinful Sunday after all.
More sin here:
I do adore making bread and I hadn’t considered it a dominant act before but you’re right. Maybe I do have a dominant bone in my body after all, it just vanishes around people!
Who knew a homage to breadmaking would be so hot! Also, don’t give up the blog!!! Xx
The hands that knead the dough are usually sensual ones ~ just sayin’ … good show!
Bread that is sensual and lacks innocence. That is my kind of bread!
I don’t know if I’m more horny or hungry after reading that! Haha! Glad you found time to do a Sinfu Sunday entry!

As I began to read I thought , Mmm . . . the smell of freshly baked bread is one of my favourite things . . . one of them ! LOL !!!
And then . . . as I scroll down to the bottom . . . I spy one of my other favourite things !!!

There is something inherently sexy about baking in my opinion and not just bread either. I think it is because it is methodical and take care and attention and watching someone do that is sexy and sensual

I’ve never been so turned on by reading about baking.
Ooo yes, I adore watching bread being kneaded… *sigh*
It has inspired many a saucy tale for me.
Great imagine x
Interesting post. Hmmm… maybe. I might need to see it at the finished stage to be sure.
I’m going to go read your old story now.
Not a cook (or baker) myself but I can imagine one could have a lot of fun kneading dough. The ultimate faux boob to be as rough and cruel with as one likes…!
Love, love this. I love making bread to, and the attention required, the sensitivity of touch.
That is just brilliant. My man bakes bread – in fact, he has become quite obsessed with the process. Watching him do it and reading your description I can quite understand why it is such a pleasure. I think those that use bread machines miss out on this. When the dough is left to rise I adore how it swells – I have to touch it as it feels amazing. Love this post!
You almost make me want to try my hand at baking bread. Love the sensual description here!

Aha! I love a bit of kneading and proving too!
I love baking things myself but I have quite a thing for watching or imagining a man kneading bread. It’s one of those things that I get mesmerised by – the strong hands, the deft actions, the irresistible pressure, the intuitive changes in action in response to the dough. This has triggered some very good thoughts.
I was going to say just what HappyComeLucky said – watching someone knead bread is intensely sexy. It’s the dexterity and control for me I think, *drool*
I was just going to say the same. I love watching my OH make bread. I think there is something so sexy watching him man handle it. I love watching the muscles in his fore arm jut out . Hot !!!!
