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.

Back in the day..

People used to get undressed, to play crochet!

    As a person who has sat in on a Janice Boddy lecture, I would like to point out something a woman stood up in the crowd and said when Boddy said circumcise women receive little to no pleasure: “How do YOU know I receive no pleasure because I am circumcised?”

    What you are doing right now is placing a VERY close-minded view on something that you do not understand. It is not sexist or misogyny when you do NOT know the context and reasons for getting this procedure done.

    As for not being able to receive pleasure? I HATE clitoral stimulation and get no pleasure, only pain, from someone touching the area around my clit. Does that mean I get no sexual pleasure or climaxes at all? Not at all, I just get it in a different way than you.

    After reading all the comments, I have to say it strikes me as funny that everyone would react so harshly to a woman voluntarily having her clit removed, when no one really seems to think anything of men that voluntarily undergo castrations, subinsicions, or nullos.

    And it doesn’t look like it’s going through her anus, it looks like it’s actually coming through her perenium.

    Roo, : )
    I know, I didn’t mean heal it like a piercing, I just mean when it’s taken out, healing it in general, if it goes through the anus itself (it hopefully goes through the perineum as someone said above, and that’s easier) as someone already said fistulas are a big problem and a fucking nightmare to heal because often the treatment involves them being forced to migrate out of the flesh (I’m sure I saw on here, an experience of a guy who had an ass one and had to have an elastic band therapy whereby it was put through the fistula and tightened and eventually healed it by migrating out)

    much love.
    PS I didn’t mention her bits…very…minimalist! Pretty, but I’m not into the circumcision….

    What some people seem to be failing to notice is the cultural environment in which we all live which encourages us to associate sexy women with being in pain/submissive. And whilst yes, it’s true that perhaps this woman can achieve orgasms perfectly well post-surgery – she’s also now got what looks like a butcher’s hook through her genitals. You only have to look at a lot of the comments from men heralding how sexy this is… These things do tend to add up and I think have lead some commenters to make assumptions.

    Then you get the backlash, ‘get off your high horse’ etc. Anti-intellectualism ftw, right? Sigh.

    The posts always ask for it, then the drama happens and everyone gets to shout at everyone else for starting it in the first place.

    Yeah man more power to you to do what you like.

    You don’t always need a clit to cum.
    I came once when my boyfriend punched me in the jaw while we were fucking and my clit had nothing to do with that one….

    But I will say that looks painful.

    #39 – thank you, i wasn’t sure because Firefox flagged it as having a spelling error, but when i right clicked to see the correct spelling, it didn’t even list that word as a choice. /fail Firefox imo.

    anyway, yeah, female circumcision makes sense with this one. Definitely not very common though.

    I think the removal of her labia and clit looks beautiful. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is happy with it…. and the big hook.

    My girlfriend called me to tell me to look at this. You know you’ve done something right when people call other people telling them to look at stuff on your website. Bravo on this post. Shocking, mind blowing, and above all else, amazing. I’m thrilled to see all ends of the body modification spectrum represented in this blog.
