So, I wasn’t going to do a Sinful Sunday. I was just back from holiday with no kinky image and the theme of “camera in shot” seemed a bit techy for me, more one designed for ‘actual’ photographers. But in the end I gave it a go.
I took this shot and posted it for three reasons.
- I wanted to show the effect of the home made strap I created for a previous session with Katie. It’s ermmm, quite effective (ouch). This is just one blow, though admittedly it landed lower than I intended.
- I wanted to illustrate the hardest thing in kink, the absolute hardest. No, not the single-tail whip but “taking pictures of your own bum.” It’s really, really difficult: mirror or not? normal or selfie mode? how to get the lighting right while twisting round and peering over your own shoulder. I think I shall request a special session on this very topic at Eroticon next year. Of course it could just be that my photography is a bit rubbish.
Before I get to Number 3 in my list, here’s the image.
My final reason for doing this is a bit different. Last week I introduced my brother to BibulousOne. It was a huge moment for me, filled with emotion. I wanted to see if it felt different, to write a post for the blog knowing that he might read it. I am with Katie and Lilly next week for some very kinky dungeon fun and I wanted to dip my toe back into the sex writing game before that session.
In truth, it does feel a bit strange. I mean, he knows now and has seen lots of my posts in an evening of strange truths and unexpected revelations. So why do I now feel uneasy writing a new post? I think that writing about bondage, pain and spanky sex, as I normally would after the sessioj, is going to feel very strange indeed, knowing now that my brother might well read it.
Hmmm. Telling him was great, but I hadn’t thought about having him looking over my shoulder in the future.
I wrote about the cathartic moment of “coming out” to my brother here.
More Sunday sin with camera in shot here.
I understand how you feel, a colleague of mine discovered my blog and it terrified me so I censored myself for a while. But once the dust settled and I felt comfortable the world hadn’t ended I’m back to being me again.
Commenting after reading your subsequent tweets and the letter from your brother. So glad it’s panned out like it has. Xx
Belfies are super hand to take – I have given myself cramps with angles needed lol
I am totally with Molly on this one. My blog has become known to a couple of people who I thought I would never tell, and where in the beginning I worried about what I would write, whether I could still write as freely, I discovered I can. It feels strange at first, but the worry does fall away. Just do what you always did, write about your experiences. I am sure your brother will be as okay with that as he was when you told him about and showed him your blog.
And, I think we should have the ‘take a photo of your own bum’ session at Eroticon!

Ah the Art of the Bottom Selfie, one of my absolute favourite things. I don’t use one myself because I can credit ridiculously long arms for my bum selfies skills, but many people find a selfie stick works very well for such occasions. I don’t get on well with mine, but I have seen them crop up enough to know that are a godsend for others.
That said I think this is a fab inclusion for Sinful Sunday x
It seems you managed both blow and click reasonably well . . . though perhaps a little more practice is in order to improve your aim ! LOL !!!
On a more serious note, I did wonder (having earlier read your “confessional”), if that would have an effect on your subsequent descriptions!
But I am sure that once you get past that initial “starting point”, you will soon warm to the task!!!
Xxx – K
I think knowing ‘someone’ knows can effect how you write but I have found with time and as trust builds then that worry falls away again. It sounds like your brother was cool with it all and so hopefully you will very quickly find your blogging feet again. After all he read everything till now, how is, ‘what comes next’ any different
Oh and you are right, the hardest thing in blogging is taking a picture of your own bum which was why I bought a tripod very early on

Owie, but great shot!
