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!

I’ll repeat the usual warning – Don’t click through if you’re at work, squeamish or underage. Adults only!

    “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.”

    Lucie: Could you explain this a bit more? I’m really curious (and not in the “I am a jerk” way).

    BARF: Without digressing too much, I was simply referring to the imagery that becomes eroticised in the media – the meme of wounded, bloody, bruised and depressed women and their juxtapositioning with sex. There are some good articles, videos and books on the topic. A simple example would be slasher movies – get the pretty lady in a tank top (or the shower, even better), some provocative camera angles of her T&A before the killer comes in and stabs her. Or the ANTP death photoshoot.

    As an after-thought, it’s funny how we can all make the assumption that she enjoys this as a product of entirely independent reasons, but someone will get shouted down for questioning it. Considering we don’t judge, and all.

    I think that this is only considered ‘mutilation’ if it was done against her will. It looks like she’s posing for the picture, so unless someone is holding a gun to her head… I’m going to say she likes/tolerates it.

    As for the removal of her clitoris and labia I’m going to say that, by the looks of it, that was voluntary too. Maybe it wasn’t, but how manicured it is leads me to believe it was I think that if something like that was done against my will, I’d grow my hair out to cover it up as much as possible (and not take pictures of it). And “no clit, no climax”? Come on guys, everyone knows a woman has a g-spot. Or that there are millions (ok, maybe hundreds of thousands) in the first few inches of the vagina. Just because she doesn’t have a clit doesn’t meant shes completely void of pleasure. Hell, I’ve heard of some girls getting off from having their nipples played with!

    Yeah. I’m not a big fan of the hook, but the whole removal thing has an interesting look. I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t find it any more disgusting then a subincision or a penectomy. I’ve never seen a vagina at that angle, nor depth, so that was a learning experience in itself!

    To each their own. Roo, I’d love an interview with this girl about her circumcision!

    neat, i love how her vag looks! the removal of all the other bits combined with her being so clean-shaven (waxed?) makes for a beautiful ladypart. i can’t imagine the actual piercing feeling good, but i could see how being pulled there could be an interesting, maybe even pleasurable, sensation.

    and i’m a girl! i say let her do whatever the heck she wants, it’s her body, no reason to get bitchy about it.

    Hey, all the ladies who haven’t seen a vagina at that depth: There’s a crazy invention called a “speculum” and you can also get something called a “hand mirror”. I think all women should know what their bits look like inside and out, and it’s quite easy to do. Plastic speculums are cheap and are available at any pro-feminist and sex positive adult store like Babeland or Good Vibrations.

    To the gents who’d like to see into a vagina in person, ask your female partner REAL NICELY.

    i just wish she still had a clit. i wonder if the area near where the base of the clit used to be is still very sensitive?

    Wow, big changes. I think this would look nicer if she…y’know, had the rest of her vagina. Life without a clit is not my idea of fun.
