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!

    Both would be great, how about, one eye candy, one interview another eye candy, then another interview and so on…

    More interviews! I can look at pretty pictures of wonderful bodymods on BME, but it´s the interviews that make me come here! Seriously, it´s really interesting to hear people describe the reasons behind and the effect of their bodymodifications (especially for me as a psychologist… ;)).

    is it just me or are all the eye candy entries about women, and all the interviews about men?

    Since you expressed interest in getting a ratio I’m going to say 50/50 would be just fine by me. I enjoy reading the interviews and learning things, but I really enjoy getting a peek at the photos posted here… I see them as a “best of” collection. There’s a lot of great artistry that I would miss out on when I don’t have time to peruse the galleries.

    I say 50/50. and keep up the gender balance with the eye candy, it’s been pretty balanced lately… throw in some trannies, too, that part of the queer community is huge on body mods, as you well know.

    Strangely enough, I barely scan long descriptions attached to the photo posts, but the mere thought of more interviews makes me start drooling all over my keyboard. Bring on the interviews, please!

    Yeah, 50-50 sounds good. The interviews tend to provoke the most interesting discussions (although not always) but I also like the best-of kind of thing a lot.

    i enjoy both the interviews and the eye candy posts, so for me it’s like 1:1, meaning like 5-10 short entries/picture posts. could be cool to take turns.

    It’s nice to be able to just browse eye candy when I don’t have time or I’m waiting on something and can’t really get into an interview, but I LOVE the interviews, that’s most of what draws me to BME as well. I’d say 50/50 considering there’s an amazing amount of people in the world who must be interview material maybe one interview per 3-4 or so posts? 🙂

    honestly more eye candy. I think it should be a 70/30 ratio of eye candy to interviews. That just being because the interviews end up taking more time to get through anyways so one would last a lot longer
