A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Double Shot

In terms of BME/HARD content, one of my favorite kinds of photos are those that illustrate the fact that moments of extreme pleasure and extreme pain often are one and the same, and that the two sensations play off each other and can be used to amplify each other.

The explicit photo is after the break.

If it’s not obvious, the lower shot is blood and this photo was taken at the pinnacle of a CBT session.

    i agree, pain and pleasure are one in the same. they are both just tactile feelings. to each his own, one man’s pain is another man’s orgasm!

    You know, I don’t understand one thing. How the hell is CBT (a sexual fetish) body modification?

    Dimruthien, do you wonder the same when suspension images are posted? It’s not just body modification that BME is all about. Body play/ritual are huge facets in this community also, hence BME/HARD and BME/extreme.

    I do have to agree with what Isabel wrote Dimmy…BME is not just about what you’re referring to its about Body Play/Ritual and you can find those categories on BME, not just in the Extreme or Hard Section…although this is what category it falls under, Hard,etc.

    All I can keep thinking now is “Blood And Semen” and wondering if there is a movie titled that…and if not, wondering why the heck not! lol

    Dim – BME is about body modification, body play, body art, body ritual, etc… BME is about this subcultures’ ways of exploring and communicating with the world through manipulation of the body.

    my though process upon seeing the image :

    1. he must have just shaved.
    2. there’s a japanese (?) box in the background… wonder what it says?
    3. that’s really useful to have an outlet in the counter!
    4. they must have used an extremely high shutter speed…

    i think i may be desensitized.

    13: The box says “wet tissue” (katakana ‘uetto tishu’). The outlet… useful, maybe, but it’s not grounded, so rather limited.
    A faster exposure would have been nice – it would be really cool to see individual droplets.
