Bondage Style

[saphonox]

I've been thinking alot about what makes a bondage photo 'good' If you are clicking about on some pervy web site, what is it about an image that makes you open it up? The style of the bondage, intricate, complex or simple but effective? The bondage material, rope leather cuffs, chain, handcuffs...scarves? What the person is wearing, fetish wear,

I enjoy bondage and any bdsm photos that have a certain artistic flair to them. I dont like porn just for the sake of getting off. I am female though, the way men and women think about these things, as with most things is different. Perhaps the motivation is different. Women looking at it to get off, but not immediately, or perhaps not at all. A lot of men look at these pictures to get off immediately.
I like the artistic work the best. Some beautiful japanese bondage shots out there.

Interesting idea of the purpose of erotica between the sexes. Let's continue this

"Perhaps the motivation is different." can you say more? Do you actively seek out bondage/bdsm photos? Why? Do you see yourself as the bound one in the photo or as having the bound one at your pleasure/mercy? Bet I know Cal's answer. Do you look at the photos for ideas, inspiration in the future?

"Women looking at it to get off, but not immediately........" Delayed gratification?, holding the image in a fantasy mind? "or perhaps not at all......." Every photo doesn't have to equal an orgasm but why look if there is no pleasurable, good sensations at some point?

I know what scummy porn is but what constitutes "a certain artistic flair ... the artistic work ..." in your mind? Any examples you can send me?

For years, my goal has been to elevate bondage photograhy out of the shrink wrapped mags in the dirty book store and on to a respectable gallery wall, a book that could be left out, not hidden under the mattress and soon an all of the above web site.
