I write short-form porn - FemDom captions - that sometimes crosses lines that perhaps it shouldn't, sometimes explicitly mixing politics and porn. Given that some find the very notion of FemDom inherently anti-feminist (i.e. sexual hierarchy is wrong), I've been hesitant to share my captions expect in very circumspect ways.
However, a post by Brigit Delaney, Fact. vs. Fiction, argues that even deeply flawed port (e.g. 50 Shades of Grey) can help bring some things to light. She writes "[I] know a heck of a lot more from “experimenting” by proxy through other people’s descriptions, reading fiction, and watching movies. So while some of that is just fantasy, it can still be used as a valid resource for inspiration, as long as everyone is aware that it’s not the expectation and that it’s not always an accurate account of BDSM."
That process reminds me a little bit of how I write essays. The act of writing helps to clarify my own thoughts. As I write and read my writing, I see how my thoughts don't quite hold together. The illumination helps me to understand something better, and from there I edit my essay. (I often wonder how I would have figured things out back in the days of typewriters!).
Back in the day I posted my captions on Tumblr, where a transgressive approach seemed to be more acceptable. However, in line with Delaney's approach, I am going to start sharing them here and on Twitter.
My latest batch of captions - The Gift of Female Supremacy 19 - can be found here.
And here's a sample:
