Expression and Emotion

One theme you will notice in the images that I have posted is that our heroines, even though they are gagged, express their feelings.  There is communication between our helplessly bound and gagged captives and their captors (usually women).  

The one thing I hate in a TV show or movie or DID photo set or DID video is when the heroine sits there with no emotion at all.  Her gag is so good that she can't even make any noise and she is tied so well that struggling is out of the question.  And worse...her face is blank of emotion.  This happens much too often and then I see comments about how good this damsel is being tied up, just because she is tied up.  Not so good.  [Often it is less the actress that makes a good scene than the director telling her how to play the scene.]  

Being held captive is all about emotion.  The emotion can be anger, frustration, uncertainty, and yes, fear (as non-PC as that is) to name a few.   But there has to be emotion.  

Her captor doesn't need emotion...sometimes ignoring her struggling beauty only heightens the frustration in the heroine.  But then having a captor that has a gleem in her eye...a smile that suggests that she has something more in mind for her captive...those types of looks can add so much to a scene.  Of course, there is also the verbal communication when a captor tells her prey exactly what she intends to do to her.

You will notice that I post and we mostly (but not always) photograph girl-girl bondage scenes.  I prefer bad girls over bad guys.  For one thing it eliminates the men dominating women thing and levels the playing field in our stories.  Also, I just think women make better villians (and you can always turn the tables and tie them up).  But that is the subject of another complete rant.

For me, a beautiful woman secured and gagged is about more than perfectly tied ropes and an effective gag.  It is about the emotions of being tied up and the interplay between captive and captor.  

That is my rant for today...
