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.

Doesn’t that make walking awkward?

I’ve been doing a lot of interview work and I think there must be about a dozen great interviews done and waiting to be posted right now, so I wanted to get readers’ feedback on what they’d like to see in terms of my efforts and hours — would you like to see a priority put on in-depth coverage and detailed interviews, or would you like to see more “eye candy” and short entries? Obviously there’s space for both, but I’m interested in hearing how the ratio should lie.

Anyway, in the eye candy department, this fun little upper thigh corset was self-done by Sarah at Tribal Rites in Boulder, Colorado… Even though I haven’t moved over any of the thousands of older pictures, the corset piercing gallery on BME grows so quickly!

    I suggest trying to post maybe 5 articles a day, 1 of each type of genre. ie 1 interview, 1 eye candy, 1 bme girl, 1 bmeboy and 1 unlikely but true style post. After that just whatever the hell is on the conveyor belt to go out.

    those legs are sexy as fuck :O

    More eye-candy please :), female especially. Although i do quite enjoy the interviews, i would honestly be fine with 90% eye-candy and the rest interview/in-depth stuff lol. I think a more healthy ratio though would probably be like 1:1. Of course, i don’t mean 1 post to 1 article/interview though, i mean 1:1 on total content.

    More interviews than eye candy, please. Actually, a 60/40 blend interviews to EC would be great. Thanks for asking!

    #30/T – I thought the scars looked like they were either from self-injury or from blood play or something, but it’s kind of hard to tell in the picture. Either way, I like this photo 🙂

    Very nice corset, I’ve never seen that placing before. Though I’m mainly thinking of how much that would hurt getting ripped out if you tripped and fell. I absolutely love the in-depth interviews. I love hearing the individual stories of people and how varied the motivations are. Modification is so personal that I think every interview is worthwhile because everyone has a reason that’s particularly individually relevant.
