I believe JD is mistaken in his assertions relating to the 'mindset of Western Europe in the Middle Ages' in regard to nudity. Though some may have taken thce view he expressed, this was in no way universal. One can find without much difficulty contemporary illustrations of men AND women publicly executed naked, such as in this example. I even have an engraving of a naked woman being torn apart by horses - surely a fate that would draw particular attention to her nude condition! 7271) Covers the Relentless.

For Milgram 4. OK, maybe there won't be a Milgram 4, but if there is perhaps they'd alter the procedure a bit. Why not vary the part of the body that receives pain? Begin the the soles, then thighs, ass, back, and breast?

So, for example, first errors are met with 5 strokes on the bare soles, then 10 (or, my preference, place a rubber band around the foot and snap it against the sole: pure pain, safe, and measurable). Third error might bring 'now the thighs, 10 strokes.' And so on through back, breasts, perhaps belly. After the strokes cycle is complete, perhaps 'Now we'll apply electricity.' Perhaps, for spice, at some juncture the experimenter might tell the teacher that poor learning is her fault, and that now she must be punished. Just a thought.

7273) Dr Yuya. I totally agree with any producer/distributor that decides to go 'digital only'. Why incur the extra expense and effort for a platform that is only used by a minority of holdovers for the older tech? If they focus more on just releasing the more accessible digital version they can devote more of the time and effort that would have been spent making DVDs to producing the next great film.

One wouldn't ask them to start releasing their work on VHS because they don't know how to use DVDS.and this is roughly the same thing. There's absolutely nothing done with a DVD that can't be replicated and probably to better effect with a simple movie file on the computer.

Google as always is a quick and trusty friend for such information. There is of course the simple HDMI or just in general audio/video wire connection but if one likes using remotes and interfaces more of a 'TV' nature there's HTPC builds, XBMC and other remote friendly video playing software, and IR recievers. There's actually enough options out there to get ones head spinning. 7274) marunt. Ralphus said: Have you given any thought to my girl Luna Vera? Anyone interested in watching Luna suffer should check out some of her tickle torture videos.

I know, I know, tickling videos are lame, right? I agree that most of them are, but now and then one features a lovely naked girl who is actually made to suffer.wiggling helplessly and screaming her head off. What's not to like about that? Luna is willing to go there, and sometimes she's even left crying at the end. Pretty intense stuff.

Preceptor said: I believe JD is mistaken in his assertions relating to the 'mindset of Western Europe in the Middle Ages' in regard to nudity. Though some may have taken thce view he expressed, this was in no way universal. It was not universal, indeed.

It was true only between 13th century to 17th and only in the former Holy Roman Empire space. Because we talk about Joanne D'Arc. Preceptor said: One can find without much difficulty contemporary illustrations of men AND women publicly executed naked, such as in this example. The martyrdoms in the early Christianity abounds with naked imagery as the legacy of the Greek/Roman culture, not very shy about nudity. It took more than 500 years for the Christianity to ossify into the intolerant dogma of the Inquisition age and its clothing stance.

The prudishness didn't stop in the XV century, it actually culminated with the Victorian period. That was the true apex. So, in brief, the naked images you can undoubtedly find are either from the early Christianity period (before 12th century) or from late apocrypha (writings done in despise to highlight the viciousness of the enemy).

To cut it short. I dare you, esteemed audience, to find an informed opinion of an academic historian with published body of work, peer-reviewable, (not a Web author or an article from Internet) in any book detailing the death of Joanne d'Arc that admits as likely the following 2 hypothesis: 1. Joanne was raped prior to death 2. Joanne was shown ALIVE nude (not a burnt charred corpse) Joanne d'Arc was a fascinating figure after all and the 'founding father' for the Hexagon so there are hundreds of books that satisfy the material source criterion. I only read a few, and who knows? Maybe I've read the wrong ones.

I will send the cost of a case of 24 beers, the brand of your choice to anyone who can find such reference. Why am I so vehement about this? Well, I noticed that most of the rotten apples in the BDSM community are those who don't make a clear distinction between real and imaginary. It's a dangerous path.

Truth be told, neither point can be 100% proved or disapproved. It's like the question of Napoleon Bonaparte's true height.

Many say its a fallacy that he was short. If you go by the British inch of the times, it would make him 5' 2'. But the French inch of the times was actually longer than the British inch, thus making him, in reality 5'7'.average for a Frenchman of the times. So without actually digging him up.there's no way to know which is right. 7280) Bill K. Provost wrote: 'For Milgram 4.

There's going to be a Milgram 4 but I don't know if Pedro has shot the footage yet or not. I like your idea of attacking different parts of the body and I really like your rubber band on the foot idea. Pedro chose the student's torture position so that the wounds were invisible to the teacher.

Usually if people see the damage to the skin, they realize what's going on and will stop. Rubber bands to the foot sounds harmless to most people who have never experienced it. Of course, you would also have to find attractive models willing to have it done to them, but Mood Pictures continues to surprise me with the attractiveness of the girls that agree to be whipped like they are.

Sales for ME3 are slightly down from the first two movies. Not sure if that's an economy thing or just a reflection of the change in tastes, but I will be happy when ME4 is released. 7283) Ralphus. Gog: Bill K is right; that artwork is by Stormrider, an excellent poser artist and a 2013 inductee into our Notable Guests. He seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth, so I don't know if he's still active. I ran pretty much his entire collection at the top of the site a few years back.

He did a lot of medieval type tortures with a few modern ones thrown in, along with some outstanding BATS renders. I have 32 original Stormriders in my collection.

Here's one of my favorites. 7284) Centaurus.

Thomas Chaser says: ' Rubber bands to the foot sounds harmless to most people who have never experienced it.' I would suggest that MG4 return to its roots which was the use of electrotorture. ET leaves no marks on the body either and can be used in a variety of positions and on a variety of body parts. Rubber bands don't do it for me, sorry.

I fast forward past that, as well as tickling, which some consider a form of torture. Laughter and smiling are anti-GIMP as far as I am concerned. You won't find rubber bands or tickling anywhere on the inquisitor's list and I have yet to encounter them in Quoom or Arcas. They are part of the vanilla portrayal of BDSM as 'what good clean fun we are all having here'.

Woody Allen was asked if sex was dirty and replied, 'It is if it is done right.' The same goes for GIMP action. I would also suggest that the psychological effects of the victims' pain on the torturer, the focus of the original Milgram Experiment, are of little interest to the average GIMPer, for whom 'social relevance' takes a definite back seat. If I want that I'd watch Down Came a Blackbird. Granted that Mood Pictures is a spanking site, consistency is sometimes overrated as a virtue, and a bit of diversity usually keeps interest up, but it has to be GIMP-worthy.

Personally, I find the elements of humiliation, dread and impending doom to be magnets of the first order and sure roads to success. 7288) Covers the Relentless. Zeke said: Rubber bands don't do it for me, sorry.

I fast forward past that, as well as tickling, which some consider a form of torture. Laughter and smiling are anti-GIMP as far as I am concerned. Agree with the rubber bands and tickling; I would add wooden clothespins, all favorites of consensual scenes. In consensual BDSM, the 'submissive' is the one calling the shots and setting the limits, which, while necessary in real life, has no place in fantasy sadism.

That's what fantasy is supposed to be about, something outside of real life. I do disagree about laughing and smiling having no place in gimp scenes, however. A good torturer should enjoy his work...-) 7291) Dubby.

Again, BATS lover might want to watch the whole movie if they didn't do it yet. [] Password: ralphus.net 7296) Spike. Hi, JD, I stand by you in this one, mate. The sexual content in mediaeval tortures have been consistently overrated. I think the cause is the inability to cut them clear from modern torture (a case of anachronism, that is, transferring present day values to an event in the past) No evidence of 'modern-style' rape, sexual harassment or humiliation in medieval tortures.

Which do not detract in their brutality; only, it was a different brutality. The methods of torture preferred the most (namely rack, strappado/Austrian ladder and horse) were applicable (and applied) to both sexes. Nudity was a no-no, and in fact the methods above do not need it.

Regarding rape, no one would have dared rape (I dare say even touch) a supposed witch, priest or no priest around. However, raping peasant women during a chevauchee or raid into enemy territory was seen as perfectly legitimate.

On Anne Askew, however, I think it cannot be called as an example, for the English were notoriously reluctant to torture women (yep, nothwistanding 'The Bloody Judge'); she is considered the only woman ever so treated in the Tower of London. Easy to conclude that the usual subjects were male (ughh.) Regarding Jeanne D'Arc (to use the French form of the name), however, when I see someone stating 'It is 100% sure that (she) was. Alive when flames took her life', well, I have to agree. El Wananchi 7299) Netrap. As long as quite a few folks here are talking about BATS, here's a little bit of burning--without the stake. The film is 'Amazons and Gladiators', which is available on YouTube dubbed into Hindi--for some reason or other.

I suspect this is not a Bollywood or Tollywood picture, or from anywhere on the Indian subcontinent. The names in the cast are far too Anglo for that. About seven minutes into the picture, a feisty girl, who could not be more than twelve years old, attacks a Roman General with a knife immediately after his soldiers have raided an Amazon stronghold. He is neither hurt--nor is he amused! He decides to do away with his assailant's mother, and make the assailant part of the execution.

He sets up a 'human gallows' arrangement, with the mother standing on her daughter's sholders, with a rope around mother's neck. Daughter is standing barefoot on a bed of coals. These coals are then set alight with a torch, and, when daughter jumps away to avoid burned feet, her mother no longer has any visible means of support, and she hangs. Now, it should be noted that Indian movies seem to show no compunction about putting minor children into peril. Indeed, there are some films where children who look no older than five or six years of age are bound, threatened, and, in extreme cases, put into deathtraps. Such a thing would never be allowed in an American or a European picture--not for mainstream distribution, anyway.

Such a scene would probably be deemed highly perverse, even by the standards of 'Bring On The GIMP'. 7300) Bill K. Said: You're saying this device is not sexual torture or rape? Of course not, Bill. It was mentioned only late in the 19th century as a torture instrument as a widespread wickedness of the Inquisition. I thought that's common knowledge. It goes along with our sexualised view of the era, though.

There is scant information about it in the contemporary sources, the only reference I could found was it being used as a 'mechanical gag' or a 'choke pear' and even that info in dubious. It exists mainly in museum dedicated to torture but not in respectable avenues. That should say something. Sorry if I shattered another myth. Damn, I should change my handle to Myth Buster. LOL 7305) marunt. I've read the comments posted here in regards to nudity/sexuality in the contexts of torture in bygone times.

I'd like to respond as follows, based on my reading over the years: First of all, in the Medieval world torture wasn't an established practice, rather something informal. It took the Renaissance and Enlightenment to bring torture into common practice. As to devices used I would agree with those who have listed the standard instruments: the rack, strappado, Austrian ladder, thumbscrews, boots. There were additional less common devices which think indicates that nudity was not at all forbidden in the torture chamber. Mention is made in contemporary accounts of sprinkling hot sulfur on breasts, 'fiddling' with hair cords between the legs and in other sensitive parts of the body. The witches chair, unlike the pear, seems to be fully authenticated as in use in certain locations, particularly in parts of Germany.

And the effectiveness of a chair studded with iron or wooden points certainly wouldn't be very high if the 'patient' as the victim was described had any clothing on. From numerous accounts of proceedings of the Spanish and other Inquisitions mention is made of total stripping, then of the executioner dressing the accused in the 'pants of shame', leaving them topless during the actual torture.

For secular courts, which handled the vast majority of the witch trials, nudity seemed to have varied. All accounts mention an initial stripping either right before or right after the executioners' display of the instruments. Procedure then seemed to vary. Probably in most jurisdictions the accused was dressed in the 'sinners shirt' or similar very abbreviated clothing for the actual torture. But if there were aggravations of the norm with use of drops of sulfur, fiddling with the hair cord, seating on the witch's chair, I don't see how it would be possible for the accused not to be naked. And of course nudity was absolutely essential when it came to searching for the devil's or witch's mark, searching for magical amulets that were supposed to prevent sensation of pain as prescribed by Joost Damhouder's very influential account of a witch trial in the city of Bruges where he was a magistrate, and the shaving of all body hair which was performed on a large number, and possibly a majority of all accused witches.

7307) DarknessMonger. Well, I actually think both parts of the discussion could be correct to a certain extent, we are forgetting that there was not a single entity called Inquisition, but several ones, and also that it wasn't the Inquisition the responsible for the torture on most of the places.

So for instance the Spanish one was more strict in what procedures were allowed and for how long. As opposed to Germany where the process were more like 'anything goes'. The same would go for the view on nudity. For that the English seemed to be the most prudish. So it is whenever that happened to an accused witch depended on who processed her. In the particular case of Joan given the persons involved and the notoriety of the case I doubt it. The had to keep the appearance that they were the good guys doing Gods work, and abusing/shaming a woman wouldn't go well with that image.

7308) Tonnerre. Hi, Bill K, I knew this was coming. Regarding what I had said, I'd better copy it: 'The sexual content in mediaeval tortures have been consistently overrated', so your misinterpretation (with due respect) becomes evident. That is not to say that women were not tortured, nor that the actual operations were not performed on body parts having some sexual significance; after all, those are some of the most sensitive parts of the body and those people were no fools. Regarding the two instruments of torture you show, for the 'pear' it suffices what JD has already said.

For the other (a 'Judas Cradle'?) what I said before is fully applicable: it is designed for use on subjects of both sexes (and in fact there are engravings showing male subjects) with the same effect. As per the rest of your post, again with due respect, are you really fundamenting your position on a 3D render and shots from 'Inquisitionlive' movies? I think that's equivalent to giving the point out. Regards, El Wananchi 7310) JD. @ El Wananchi: I know now why I liked your writings so much.

You strive for some veridicity that I only found elsewhere in bleumune's (short) body of work. I was really surprised that people even know about the Old Man of the Mountain, for example. A true interrogator is seldom a rapist! DarknessMonger said: it wasn't the Inquisition the responsible for the torture on most of the places. In all the places where it was active, Inquisition was deferring the actual torturing to the local layman authority. But in order to record a confession it was always present a priest or a accolite, logic being that one can retract later what he/she said in front of men but not what he/she said in front of God. So, while not technically turning the wheel or whipping the vic, the men of the cloth were always present, writing the deposition since most of the general population was illiterate at that time.

DarknessMonger said: The had to keep the appearance that they were the good guys doing Gods work, and abusing/shaming a woman wouldn't go well with that image And here's the fallacy. Those people, in their overwhelming majority TRULY were believing they were doing God's work and by burning a witch they save her soul. Even the tortures applied were meant for the same reason, to have the heretic confess her crime and go in front of the God instead of straight to Hell. Because we are pervs we assume by inductive reasoning that those in the business back in the day were also sadists with a better field of work. Which is eminamently false. There are genuine accounts in literature to support that assertion, if you're the scholar type I can find them for you. Stefania Tutino in her Shadows of Doubt ( [] ) describes at large this conundrum of mostly well-intended priesthood and the anguish they experienced while doing their deeds.

So believe it or not, Torquemada wasn't a sadist but an overly enthusiastic zealot. There's no record that what he was doing was giving him any carnal pleasure. He was undoubtedly what we call today 'a self-hating Jew' and his wrath hit that minority really hard. Actually, I even encoutenred a mention that he was leaving the dungeon screams to other people of cloth, prefering to be notified when the business was concluded. I know, it's counterintuitive for people of our kind to understand it. I know that Torquemada has nothing to do with Joanne d'Arc but hope that would explain the atittude toward torture in the Dark Ages.

@ Tonnerre: Thanks for Brigada Explosiva. A rather long selection with scenes of interest from a French movie. Karin Schubert in La Punition [1973] [] Password: ralphus.net 7311) Ed. My considered opinion re: actual torture back when: I DON'T CARE! I enjoy fantasizing about young women, pretty sexy young women, stripped nude and chained to some maybe actual/maybe not device in a dungeon being tortured for the sadistic pleasure of the torturer. My earliest sexual imaginings were of such things, they aroused me then, they arouse me now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I think that's why GIMP exists.

(Thank you, Ralphus!) I know the truth doesn't jibe with my fantasy and I couldn't care less. Just because I know dwarves and elves don't exist doesn't mean I like Lord of the Rings any less. 7312) Robert Block. The Inquisition at its height was dominated by lawyers, Canon and civil. I appreciate the poster's defense of the sincerity of the inquisitors, but sincerity does not rank high among the lawyerly virtues. The main objective was to obtain a specific result and to further collateral inquiries. I would expect the odd inquisitor to be a sadist in the same way that it did not entirely shock me that Denny Hastert enjoyed being among sweaty wrestlers. Sajana Hai Mujhe Remix Free Download.

The classic protocol was to display the instruments of torture to a recalcitrant witness and many, if not most witnesses broke at this juncture. We have the transcripts of Joan's trial, and she handled that stage rather well. She announced that if she was tortured, she would say what they wanted her to say but then she would immediately recant her testimony as being the result of torture.

This was not the only point at which she confounded the lawyers with superior logic. She was not tortured - not counting the undoubted unpleasantnessof her exectution. 7313) Amy Hesketh. About the discussion of phasing out DVDs. I generally download films from FluxPlayer, Amazon, iTunes, Vimeo, and then play them directly from my phone using an HDMI cable and an little adapter. Each has its own app, and marks the place you left off. There are ways to stream directly to some TVs, and additional devises like Apple TV, things like that.

Of those, I prefer FluxPlayer (which we use for distribution), and Vimeo (which we're testing now with rentals). Both have subtitle selection, and access to bonus extras. FluxPlayer has the added awesome of menus, and the ability to burn to DVD in a regular DVD format. I would love to play Joan of Arc. The Carl Dreyer version is my favorite.

Although if we were to make a version of the story, it would be far more action-packed, obviously. Yesterday we shot the footage for the pitch video for our Justine IndieGoGo campaign! It went really well. I attached a photo of the shooting (making of) above.

Obviously, you won't see the green screen in the finished video. We debuted a new makeup FX artist, who does bruises and lashes really well. And is a joy to work with.

I'm excited to be adding her to our crew. I'll be editing the pitch video this week, so the IndieGoGo campaign for Justine should be up by next week. It's a super exciting campaign because of what can potentially come from it in terms of perks for those contributing.

7314) mr bush. The argument re the Inquisition and Joan of Arc has turned into a veritable tsunami. I agree with the comments regarding the historical practices of those ecclesiastical tribunals.

There really was no erotic perversion involved. It was all, like many interrogators,even in the present day, just people doing their job.

That, of course, does not preclude the presence of an occasional sicko. The lurid tales regarding the Inquisition emerged in part because of the secretiveness of the whole affair and out of a nineteenth-century culture obsessed with sex, later reinforced by psychoanalysis and the invention of the terms sadism and masochism, etc. Having said all this, I think the point is not about historical accuracy, but about fantasy, erotic or otherwise. Hence the difference between the transcripts of inquisitorial trials we have and Quoom's or other people's work.

In fantasy it is perfectly alright to fall into anachronism or erotic imaginings, not so in a historical depiction. And I think most of the visitors to this great site are interested in fantasy and not correct historical representation. I like realism in the scenes (the historical part) but I do not care about a true-to-life depiction which would lack the erotic or sexual content. So, enjoy Quoom or Damian, etc.

Whether Joan of Arc was really tortured or not. 7316) Bill K.

Guys the function of the 'pear' is well documented and the reason witches were burned at the stake is to give them a taste of what awaits them in hell. Also burning at the stake was a just one form of executing of many of heretics and treasonous individuals. Many more witches were hanged or drowned than burned at the stake. The heart of the Inquisition took place in 12 Century through the 14 Century and no records were kept of almost all of the countless men and women, which were in the multi millions tortured and put to death.

Women had no rights at all back then and especially the poor unmarried one which was if they were unmarried they were poor because women were not allowed to have wealth or property. They were not even allowed to learn to read and write. They is no way of knowing if women were tortured naked and sexually tortured and raped because the only records were kept by the church leaders which were the inquisitors. We know throughout the world that many women are routinely raped, sexually tortured and murdered now in the modern women's right era, so just think how many were raped, sexually tortured and murdered in the medieval times when they had no rights at all. 7317) bleumune.

This is all just fantasy, and fantasy needn't be overly weighed down with anchors of reality. In the stories I've written, the unfortunate heroine is rendered nude rather early on, and it's likely she would expire during the fantasy torture sessions I've written rather than surviving all the way to the bitter end. But that's what happens in fantasy -- it departs from reality. And I also join Ed in thanking Ralphus for giving us a chance to vent.

I think I'll have to agree to disagree with some other posters, but I think, disagreements or not, that we enjoy a lot of the same stuff. @Amy I myself also like the user friendly Flux Player App used by Vermeer Works for their movies. The video quality is good and makes it easy to burn to a DVD. I am really excited about the production of Justine. The photo you posted makes me excited to see how the IndieGoGo campaign and its video will turn out when it goes live to the public. I really enjoy the pictures shown so far with the use of the pillory. After seeing the image of Gina in a pillory, shared by Margot a while back, and now seeing Amy in it as well.

It makes me want to see a photo of Mila in the pillory as well. Seeing the 3 ladies strapped into the pillory will be a sexy GIMP sight to behold. I can't wait to see how Jac will bring this great Marquis de Sade story to the big screen. Speaking of De Sade, I was able to help Ralphus out in creating a new entry for 'Le Marquis de la Croix' in the rack database.

I hope Amy and Jac will be able to do great things with Justine the same way they portrayed de Sade in LMDLC. If Justine does really well, I hope to see more of de Sade's work made into a movie by this great movie studio. If I recall, Mila joined the company after seeing Jac reading the works of de Sade in the office of Amy's therapist where Mila was working. Good luck with getting this campaign together so I can invest some of my money in this great film! 7319) petelobo.

Guys, please. I come here to see women tortured--not be tortured myself by these endless rolling rants about whether it was possible for nurses to be POW's in VietNam and fashions for the well-dressed torturee 8 centuries ago. I was startled by Bill's recent post placing in the 'multi-millions' the number of people tortured and killed in the inquisition's various franchises.

Let's see: If multi-millions only meant 2-million people killed over about 200 years, that's still 10,000 people a year for two centuries! That's not TOO bad--just 25-30 people per day, every day, for 200 years.

We know the inquisition was Catholic, which at that time mean Europe, the whole population of which in 1400 was about 50-million men women and children. The number I keep finding is that in the 530 years of the medieval and spanish inquisitions about 6,000 people were killed. 7320) Bill K. Nice pics of Amy and the pillory, but may I recommend a little thinking outside the box? Here's use of a pillory that doesn't hide all the good bits. Perfect for whipping, ideal for passers-by to hook an arm under her knee and lift to slide inside for a little of the old in/out, in/out; or bring along a friend with a whip to do one while you do the other (nothing like the fierce clenching when the lash falls across her nipples.) Only addition I'd make would be a couple mirrors on the top corners so you could watch her face.

Whatcha think, Amy? 7335) Hofrax. A Blakemore moment: A beautiful photograph of Lori Waverly. The lighting, dark and shadowy, from a single source, suggests an air of isolation, creating the feeling that this is not a model posing, but an everyday women thrown into a nightmare.

The effect is reinforced by her still having her blouse on, even if it has been gathered up around her arms, leaving her chest bare. She was probably safely on the street just a few minutes ago.

Her position is diabolical. She is stretched out, barely standing on her toes, with her arms pulled up and behind her as far as they will go.

Along with her feet tied closely together, she has no freedom to move in any way. Then there’s the crotch rope. On my, this is a good one.

It is affixed such that she herself is in charge of how much it cuts into her pussy, but controlling that comes at a price. Her weight is thrown backward, so she can relieve the pressure only with difficulty, and not without getting tired. Eventually she will give out, and the entire weight of her upper body will sag, pulling down hard on that rope and jamming it up cruelly between her legs. The expression on her face? Her pussy already hurts and she isn’t sure how long she can hold out before the real pain sets in. And because she is so off balance, she won’t be able to move or get away when it does.

All she can do is stand there and suffer more, and more, and more. If you were there, you would hear her beg you, through her gag, to let her go, and you would just keep saying no, and wait for the tears.

Thanks to Ralphus for posting four new titles in the! This update includes a retro bondage adventure created in the mid 1950's by the renowned fetish artist Eneg (aka Gene Bilbrew). And for non-continental fumetti fans, there's an English adaptation from the decidedly weird Terror Blu series, translated by yours truly. You'll also find a nasty bit of business by Don Lomax and, to round things out, an historic tale depicting the punishment and fiery fate of a very unfortunate witch. Hope you find something to enjoy, but even if you don't, feedback is always welcome.

Fritz said: feedback is always welcome. Glorious Felis silvestris, I particulary enjoyed your scanlation among all. What font type do you use to aproximate so well the stencils used to put text in the fumetti back in the day? Today's update is from a classic.

Marie-France Pisier in Trans-Europe Express [1966] Some light yet delightful rope play followed by a strong and distasteful chocking to death. I would have normally cut that part if not for Ralphus, our epitome of degenerate moral unpleasantness. [] Password: epitome of degenerate moral unpleasantness.net 7345) joek0. While I am waiting for the IndieGoGo campaign for Justine to get started, I decided to buy Martyr from Vermeer Works. I was convinced by the Amy's and Margot's posts regarding this film and also by the few reviews available online. I was also really curious to hear that this film was the reason Amy teamed up with Jac to eventually create all the great films they have made today such as Maleficarum. After my first viewing, I can see why Amy and others love this film.

It was a great film overall with a great story and a decent amount of Gimp scenes like you would find in earlier Red Feline movies. Camille and Vero are both very sexy actresses and Camille really suffers for her art just like Amy does today. I am currently writing my review for Martyr and I hope you all enjoy one of Jac Avila's earlier GIMP Films. I heard that Camille might return to do a movie with Jac and Amy sometime in the future.

I would love to see Camille, Vero, Amy, Mila, and the new girl all star in a new Pachamama Films movie. They are all great actresses and I would like to see all of them act together in a single movie. This may happen in a future DBD sequel I hope. 7346) Flintstone. On the ropes about getting 'Hard is the Way'.

Like the look of the actress and see it has some whipping.but the clips aren't sold separately as with the last release (at least not yet) and there's no AOH even just 'standing and bound' type of whipping scenes. Call me extreme vanilla (oddly enough this is the only place on the internet I would ever be called so) but I've always found hanging upside down or lying on a table somehow (minorly) distracting in such scenes.

Given all that.it probably has my money, just only when it gets the 'clip' rate instead of full movie price. When does Clips4Sale usually break out a movie into separate and cheaper individual clips?

7349) A Canadian. Another girl, another test of Milgram's hypothesis. Just wanted to let people know that Mood Pictures is working hard at the next installment of The Milgram Experiment. This one was shot soon after ME3, but this time they actually have the unsuspecting mark draw the 'Student' card to test how far a person will go to subject themselves to pain and humiliation if coerced by a contract and peer pressure. Of course Dr. Lomp can't go far if the person actually says 'No', but what if they don't? Above is a sneak peek at the first girl tested.

Unfortunately the mark did say 'No', but the fun didn't end there. Instead, she was assigned the role of the teacher and the party got started. I really liked 'Dolores', the model in this one. She has a sweet face; the type of girl that would make a good mother some day. But first, she has to make it through the Milgram Experiment. To quote the lead character from 'Below the Belt', 'Can she take a beatin'?

I can't stand a woman who can't take a beatin'.' Yes, she take a beating. Thomas 7351) Steve. Sorry to be gone for so long. Reviewing what has been going on here lately I must say that despite some really good posts, there has also been altogether too much time taken up with ridiculous concerns about historical accuracy and concerns about reality and logic. Have we forgotten what we come here for?

No electro or breast whipping? I look forward to ME5 - perhaps the take will be a bit different. J Scourge said: [.] ridiculous concerns about historical accuracy and concerns about reality and logic. Somehow I don't believe the whole crowd here is a bunch of erratic La-La-Land denizens (read fucktards with saliva drooling from the corner of their mouths while jerking off on Hostel). Dunno, some of us might enjoy a bit of intelectual sparring about sado-masochistic topics. Just sayin', might be wrong.

I asked Ralphus in private beforehand if it's OK to have such debate and he said it's a discussion forum. So, if only BDSM imagery/clips are of interest, there's a much better place for that at xhamster or tumbler, volume-wise. I personally neither know nor care about historical accuracy in my favorite GIMP moments, but what about complete works of fiction? Has anyone ever felt a deep suspicion that the author of the book you're reading must surely be just just as weird as you are?

I'm talking about The Wheel of Time. If you've never heard of it, it's one of those long-winded fantasy series that's long overdue for an HBO miniseries. The author's writing style honestly drags a lot, with way too much attention to pointless detail; but on the whole it's a great fantasy setting. Some of it is derivative of Lord of the Rings, but having picked it up again after a long break, I started noticing a pattern that I'd forgotten about since I was a wee-young pervert.

Female characters get spanked. And it's not just that; the plot is rife with all the ingredients for perfect GIMP scenes. Namely, there's this all-female order of sorceress/Jedi women called “Aes Sedai” who remain ageless and ever-beautiful. They manifest their powers right around puberty, and have to go live at a Hogwarts-before-Hogwarts called The White Tower. Once there, they're taught to use their powers for goodness and all that.

But that's not why you're reading this forum. Functionally, what you have is a bunch of 18 – 20 year old girls, cloistered together in a kinky fortress-city, ruled by all-powerful sorceress queens. They start out as “Novices”, and are severely punished by the Mistress of Novices for any slight. The book describes all your basic paddlings, switchings, birchings, strappings, and even slipperings; because readers like me appreciate all those little details. Then, it gets better.

Before they get to be real Aes Sedai, each girl has to go through a test where they step through a series of portals and are subjected to their worst fears and nightmares. They do this completely naked, because of tradition or rebirth or something. If they survive the ceremony, they become full-fledged sisters and are sent out to do good deeds and whatnot. But, if they bring shame to the sisterhood, they get stripped naked and birched in front of everyone; and that's just in the White Tower. Out in the world, there's one group of badguys called “White Cloaks” who are basically the Inquisition. They hate Aes Sedai and do all your standard inquisitor stuff to them. Then, there's another group of bad guys called “Seanchan” with magic collars on leashes who can turn Aes Sedai into obedient slaves.

Then, there's this other group called the “Aiel” who have weird customs that involve a whole lot of corporal punishment. Then, there's the main badguys who secretly worship The Dark One. They kidnap Aes Sedai and perform all sorts of weird magical experiments.

Plus a whole lot more which makes me sound like I'm rambling when I'm really just ticking off facts. There's also a world of dreams where anything can happen, multiple kingdoms with multiple dungeons, and “bubbles of evil” that pop up randomly and affect the world however the Dark One wishes. It's a lot to take in, but for those of you who produce GIMP material, I'd totally love to watch a bunch of gorgeous sorceresses get stripped out of fanciful costumes and subjected to the worst things humanly imaginable; which is all part of the plot. It's pure fiction, so who cares if every detail isn't 100% to the letter?

*The above image is from a Wheel of Time graphic novel, and is about as GIMPy a thing as I've ever seen in something relatively PG-rated. 7360) Covers the Relentless. @ T, I have really fond memories about WoT. It sticked to my mind especially when Asunawa, the High Inquisitor put queen Morgase to torture as a witch. Needles, whips and knotted ropes, it is said.

Also the nude condition that falls upon the victims is a clear departure from Tolkien's days. I recall when Nynaeve ended up hogtied, naked, after her clothes dissolved from her body. Too bad the writing style was so meandering that I gave up on the series about midway through Knife of Dreams.

I keep telling myself that one day I'll finish the series but there's always better literature on the horizon. @ JD, I gave up after Crossroads of Twilight, but just picked up Knife of Dreams after a long long time. In the prologue alone, there are at least 4 or 5 spankings, and another character gets bushwhacked, hogtied, and gagged with her own cloak.

Jordan (the author) clearly loved picking on Egwene for some reason, as she seems to get the worst of it out of anyone. In every book, she's either being forced to run around naked or getting whipped for something. I particularly love her brilliant plan to assault the impregnable fortress (yeah, there are spoilers) and how it plays out. - In a camp outside Tar Valon. - Siuan: “Egwene, how can we lay siege to Tar Valon? It's nigh-impregnable!” Egwene: “Never fear.

As your leader, I have a cunning plan.” - Short Transition - Egwene is now in the principal's office having her ass beaten with a shoe. Egwene: “I regret my stupid plan!” Mistress of Novices: “.and after this spanking, you'll be spanked for making me spank you.” I really hope they do make a miniseries or something. It'd probably flow better in that format and skip over all the pointless exposition. 7363) Thomas Chaser. I keep looking at this picture from Mood Pictures' 'Milgram Experiment 4' and I wonder, what is she thinking?

She knows she's about to get whipped - that's inevitable - but is she worried about how much it will hurt? Is she doing it to test her own strength of will?

Is she afraid? One thing is for certain, she isn't panicking. She isn't thrashing about like a mad woman. I have to give her credit for doing what she is doing and having the personal fortitude to do it.

Maybe it's a desperation borne of economic necessity; maybe Hungarian women are just that way. But no matter how close to poverty an American woman would be, I don't think she would be willing to have done to her what the Mood Pictures women have done to them.

At least not in reality. American girls are spoiled by the lifestyle. None of the girls that model for Kink.Com or any of the other US-domestic porn studios would even consider agreeing to be beaten like Mood Pictures girls are beaten. Dolores, pictured above, is a beautiful woman. If she were in America, she could easily make money modeling for local photographers or, as most beautiful women seem to do, end up in Sales and Marketing jobs. Yet, here she is, offering herself up to the whip. I can't imagine too many women would be willing to do that.

It makes me wonder - are moral scruples tied to national economic activity? Does personal wealth permit certain luxuries under the guise of 'moral fiber'? At any rate, my appreciation to Hungarian girls for taking on the challenge for our enjoyment! Darkedo said: Is this Wheel of Time similar to the John Norman's Gor?

Norman was an unappologetic fetishist, building his prose around his fantasies (women subservient to men). Jordan is a high-fantasy writer in the vein of Tolkien. A Tolkien 2.0 for contemporary audience, if you want. The presence of SM elements in his prose is much more subtle and need an educated eye to be spotted. Something like Offut.

Don't forget that Jordan wrote a few Conan pastiche novels as well, where the incidental SM elements were even more presents than in WoT. He was interested, clearly, but never in the in-your-face approach of John Norman. Since I don't want people to get mad because they had to read 4 lines w/o visual female torture, check the illustration. That should do it. @Darkedo No, not really. WoT is more like Lord of the Rings, but with more women and no hobbits.

Also, don't start reading it just for the GIMPy moments unless you really really like gigantic fantasy novels. Robert Jordan had a weird habit of rambling on about the damnedest little details. After the 507th time you read about the lace on someone's shirt, you'll want to shoot somebody. Also, strangely, earlier this year there was a Wheel of Time 'TV Pilot' that aired on some station with absolutely no advertising or fanfare. Billy Zane was in it, and almost nothing happened. There's apparently some court battle between the author's widow and the company that holds the rights, and they had to air something just to retain it.

So, who knows if we'll ever see it get the Game of Thrones treatment? The books themselves are a little flawed, but all it needs is a little love to draw in the fans. Plus, it's full of naked ladies and torture, and I'm always down for more of that. (And, dare I say it, there are actually strong female characters who have prominent roles in the story. Not just a few Arwens shoehorned in for demographics.) 7368) T.

T said: Now, if you wanted a little overt fetishism, just look at the Mord-Sith from Sword of Truth. I still can't believe that Disney had anything to do with Legend of the Seeker after reading that. T, that's only the TV series (which I enjoyed), not the books. If you go read them (a very leafy business), they are a lot more explicit but also more into F/m domination which is not really my thing. The bondage of Richard under Denna's dominatrix spell is unprecedented in the mainstream literature and made that book unsuitable for any school library.

My imagination goes even further so before people start bitching again about the lack of visual female violence, here my take of Kahlan into Darken Rahl's hands. *images are supposed to be seen as progressive stages, usually from left to right* 7370) T. @ JD Hilariously, I first discovered Wizard's First Rule at my school library and even read an early chapter to the class as part of an assignment (long before the Mord-Sith came out of left field toward the end of the book.) Perhaps I should've tried Justine or The 120 Days of Sodom? I only got about 4 books into Sword of Truth before I caught onto the trick. The ultimate power that can defeat all evil is always Richard and Kahlan hooking up; and then everything is designed to keep them from doing that at the start of the next book.

The first couple of times that happens, ok sure; but after that you'd think they'd get wise. Also, don't you think Kahlan should've warned the poor dope to watch out for crazy-looking broads in red dominatrix armor; you know, days before running into one?

Kind of a big deal? Might have been an important safety tip? She deserves to have her ass branded. But really, the Mord-Sith are the only thing that stuck with me from that series. Their training alone is rather GIMPy, and I'd have much preferred it if the books were all just Cara riding around the countryside, kicking ass and taking names; instead of boring Richard visiting Aiel Waste/White Tower knock-off land.

*For the audience's sake, here's the lovely Tabrett Bethell doing her best Amy impression. (I love pillories, can't wait for Justine!) 7371) A Canadian. Ralphus and Fritz, thanks for updating the comics section. From the time those RDFs were uploaded, it has become my favorite feature on this page.

More power to those who can keep the section growing. J Scourge – could you kindly provide info on the source of that boob-punch picture? Is that Darling (of Kink) on the receiving end? I’ve always felt that the ‘fighting femmes’ storyline is sadly underutilized, despite its potential for GIMP-worthy action. Unfortunately, most of the potential is wasted of WWF divas type scenes, and pointless attempts at ‘competition’.

Forget completion – you just need a loser (who is hot, w/ big tits), and a winner who fights dirty (thus, lots of boob gouging and smacking, hits below the belt, some biting of tender bits, even some pubic hair pulling) and who has no mercy for her vanquished foe. Clothing, if any, should get torn off and used against the wearer. And who needs a fair fight? Some two- or three-on-one action would add to the story. I really wish there was more material on this subject. Speaking of underutilized scenarios – Ed and petelobo – I second your motion.

Simultaneous rape and breast whipping/torture make for an exquisite scene. Yet it happens in maybe one out of a thousand GIMP scenes. (Well, unless one counts nipple clips as torture, in which case there’s a lot of that). I can’t think of one ZFX film where this happens. What do the producers have against multi-tasking?

BTW, Ed, you mentioned a while back about how rubber bands don’t add to the action for you. I agree, unless they are properly applied. A while back, I saw part of a Kink.com clip where a busty victim was made to lean forward and have rubber bands around each boob.

I also saw a picture set where longer rubber bands were wrapped around the torso of the victim, at chest level. In both cases, the bands were pulled away and allowed to snap back. In both cases, the reactions were amazingly real (I don’t imagine either lady was that convincing an actress), and the marks left behind looked rather vicious. So, let us give the humble rubber band a chance. 7375) Covers the Relentless. Thanks, Dalpass, for bringing up the idea of bands again. You are exactly right about their application and their effects: surprisingly effective, for such damned ordinary and innocent looking things.

Place them around the foot, leg, or breast, pull them back a measured amount (per SM's experimental protocol), and snap them against the sole, thigh, or sensitive breast. I can imagine a woman in the Milgram setup agreeing to the bands and enduring them but rejecting the whip or cane. The bands are more clinical, scientific; the others are somewhat out of place.

And--broken record here--I think people underestimate the sensitivity of a woman's soles.some women do, too, and the response is surprising. And it's all about the response, not the bands (or bamboo stick or.). I was delighted to see Salem mentioned here: while utterly tame by standards of this board, the drama and menace of the Mather's little house of pain and the possibility that elegant Mary Sibley will find herself within is almost too much to contemplate. It is old school stuff, but the anticipation is fun. Cheers to all who make this board such a wonderful site to visit!

Dalpass responded: BTW, Ed, you mentioned a while back about how rubber bands don’t add to the action for you. I agree, unless they are properly applied. I have nothing against them in a real world BDSM scene; even (meh) feathers and wooden clothespins. A case could be made for some real discomfort if they are properly applied. They just don't fit into my personal fantasies, which tend to run to medieval/Nazi historical seriously-in-trouble-utterly-helpless-female-victim scenarios. I like 'em lurid and obviously nonconsensual, usually with bloody welts and red-hot irons; not the kind of thing you can do legally (or morally) in polite company any more.

Simultaneous rape and breast whipping/torture make for an exquisite scene. My Dawn rewrite is almost complete. It's taking longer than I thought since the original prose sucked so badly. In it I've added just such a scene.

@ Bill K Thanks! I've been keeping an eye on Salem, but somehow missed this promo. If you look closely, it appears Lucy Lawless has some type of implement to interrogate Ms Sibley with. In an earlier episode called 'Departures' there's a deleted scene where they put the redheaded Lady of the Evening (Azure Parsons) in the stocks. Not sure why they cut it, but it was the same episode where they strip-searched her for witches' teats. Maybe they decided to go in that direction instead?

@ Joanna.and @ anyone who's been reading my posts. Is there an appropriate level of GIMPishness for this forum? Is there a scale that ranges from Slap on the Wrist through Drawn & Quartered? I find that I actually prefer to view a scene that's lighter on that scale, as long as there's some sort of plot that makes me care what happens to the character. In real life, I work in a profession where I see blood and death on a semi-regular basis, and I've even witnessed the results of actual rape and appeared in court because of it.

There's nothing sexy about that to me. The line between fantasy and reality is sharp and broad.

Now, I'm not pointing any fingers or getting all preachy here. As long as it's fiction and/or consensual, I don't care what people do. Eat, drink, and be merry, everybody. When I was a kid, long before there was an internet for me to search, the only ways I could get my fix was to either draw it myself or read about it. Wheel of Time was a favorite of mine, and you could just buy it from any bookstore without getting a weird look. Sure, it's pretty tame stuff compared to the things the Cenobites that frequent this forum like to post; but I'd still like to see it get it's own miniseries. Also, HBO's Game of Thrones really dropped the ball in a couple places.

I was looking forward to a scene that takes place in Harrenhal, where the Boltons put all the castle women in the stocks. They're free to be 'used' by his men as punishment for sleeping with Lannisters. Considering all the gratuity on that show, I was gravely disappointed when it didn't happen.

[] pass: ralphus.net A(nother) Canadian 7382) Joanna. A girl off the street agrees to participate in 'Milgram Experiment 4'. Friends, I just finished proofing the 2nd half of 'Milgram Experiment 4' and I must say that, just when I though the franchise had run its course, the folks at Mood Pictures throw a curveball at me.

In this final installment, they set the mark up to be the student instead of the teacher, to see how far a person would go in allowing themselves to suffer for science. The answer is contained in this segment. I was shocked and you will be, too. Once Pedro finishes his editing, I'll post a review with more information but for now I'll just say that I was very, very impressed. 7384) Covers the Relentless. @ Joanna I'd intended 'slap on the wrist' to be something of the metaphoric sort.

As in, a zero on my own personal GIMP-o-Meter. A simple run-of-the-mill spanking would be a good example of that. It's better than nothing, but any one of us could come up with something more interesting on an off day. 9/10ths of the WoT moments were like that, and there's nothing wrong with that.

At the end of the day, it was still a fantasy adventure series aimed at a vanilla audience. However, I always loved those rare moments that would pop up when I least expected them to. I can't recall which book this happened in, but Egwene and Nynaeve were novices in the White Tower at the time. It was late, and everyone was either sleeping or minding their own business, then suddenly, a 'bubble of evil' erupted out of nowhere.

Without warning, dozens of Aes Sedai were dropped into a literal torture chamber, where Trollocs were doing all sorts of bizarre and GIMPish things to them. I particularly remember some sort of electrical iron maiden thing, that was frying one of them like poor Candle up there in the.

Nothing was overtly described beyond a sentence or two, but the younger me was thrilled that at any given moment, torture dungeons could just fall out of the sky onto the characters of that world. (It may have had something to do with the dream world, but I can't recall.) Also, it was said that the 'stilling' of an Aes Sedai was often preceded by a public birching. So, after their backsides were flogged to a bloody pulp, they'd still be hanging there when they're cut off from the One Power, and then banished. To one of them, that's a fate almost as bad as death. I believe Elaida even had daydreams about doing that to Egwene in one chapter. 7395) nessie2.

Your linking of that review made me remember I've been wanting to update my original review with vidcaps, so I knocked that out yesterday. Check it out now, I think the pictures greatly improve it. The sad part is I had to use a theatrical screener as my source material, since they badly botched the DVD release with an overly dark transfer, one that Eli Roth himself apologized for online. I have no idea if they ever re-released it on DVD or Blu-ray with a proper transfer, does anyone know? It's one of the best modern-day GIMP mainstream releases, so I hope someone did it justice for a new generation of pervs. After capping the film, I hopped on the IMDB message board to read a few viewer comments. People are still talking about the film, even 8 years later.

One particular thread caught my eye: Of course, on a forum like this, the answer is obvious, but it's kind of fun to read what non-GIMPers have to say. My favorite part of that first comment was I talked with a friend about this once and he said, 'you don't understand it because you are sane.' Times up, gotta get to bed. Carry on, guys.

Not quite an A+ this time around, even though the models used are very, very lovely and I totally love the twist they put on the 'rules' at the end. I only give high marks to the Milgram series because of the format (although maybe I gave a high mark to 'Fear' and 'History of Pain', too. I can't recall offhand).

Their other releases are good but not exceptional. The other side of the house, Elite Pain, has films that have good rewatchable scenes, but not necessarily good films (the riding crop pussy-whip scene in 'Education Part Two' comes to mind). Anyway, I do my best to include enough information and vidcaps so that people can form their own opinions. I even did a quick review of 'Rome: Revenge of Ultrix' more as a warning to others than as an endorsement.

Would it be worth the effort for me to review 'Curse of Merlin's Castle'? It's a great film but I'm not sure it's even available anywhere anymore. To answer the earlier question, the other actresses are Chloe Nicholle and Kaetlyn, with Alexis Payne dishing out the punishment. Here are some vidcaps of the suspension scene; the climax (if you will) of the film. This one is definitely re-watchable and worthy of an 'A'.

Those caps are good but it's obvious you only had a limited choice of clips to work from. I'll take a look around and see if I can find a decent version of the film. If so, I'll try to get some additional caps for the review.

By the way, I still think it's funny that I saw Hostel: Part 2 airing in a bar a few years ago when I was visiting the U.S. Who's home state was I in at the time?

You guessed it. It was Ralphus's home state of Ohio.

Ever since I joined this great forum, I was glad to have discovered the works of Red Feline/ Pachamama Films. After reading many of the reviews of their movies, I was surprised that a few of the reviews were missing from Pachamama Films. That encouraged me to write the review for Olalla. Since then, I have decided to also review Martyr. I was skeptical to watch this film since it was before Amy joined. But Amy has given this movie so much praise. That finally convinced me to rent it.

The movie really blew me away that I later bought it. Please remember that this is an earlier work of Jac's. This was before they upgraded to better equipment to shoot their films. The video quality is OK for what was used. My review of Martyr is below. I have however decided to hold off on writing a review for Dead But Dreaming.

The movie's story was too complex for me to grasp which lowered my enjoyment of the movie. I am also not a fan of the vampire movies. Olalla was however an exception. I would have to wait for the sequel to see if the story fits my tastes. The GIMP scenes were still very good and I enjoyed them a lot. I myself don't feel right if I only review the GIMP scenes and to not review the movie as a whole.

*********** Running time: 2:03 Martyr (2008, Pachamama Films), is feature film which features crucifixions similar to their work in their earlier Red Feline movies. It was written, directed, and starring Jac Avila. Readers should know that this film was the reason that Amy Hesketh decided to join Jac Avila to make more great GIMP films that we all now love. We are introduced to the lovely young French couple of Camille (Carmen Paintoux) and Julien (Mickael Trodoux). Camille then tells the story of Eulalia, a beautiful female virgin martyr.

We also meet Julien’s American friend Dave (Erik Antoine) who loves messing around with a bullet-less gun. Camille and Julien are living with Dave until they go back to France. At the nightclub where Julien works as a DJ, Camille meets a fellow French woman named Elisa (Natacha Petrovic). We learn that Elisa is gay and works in photography with Tadeusz (Jac Avila). We also meet Tadeusz’s live in model and girlfriend Gabrielle (Veronica Paintoux). Camille, an actress back in France, tells Julien that she is bored and wants to find work.

She then gets a job modeling with Tadeusz. Camille convinces Tadeusz to do a photoshoot with her as the virgin martyr Eulalia. He agrees and they begin working on training Camille for all the tough scenes where she will suffer. In their first photoshoot, Camille is topless and blindfolded while sitting on her knees.

She then arches her back in the same position. She then gets her hands bound together in front of her. This photoshoot is just a warm up for her before the real tough shoots begin.

Not much torture for Camille in this shoot. Julien and Camille discuss the shoot together and he is reluctant to let her go through with it. Camille tells him she wants to do it for herself and feels she needs to do this for her own personal empowerment. He reluctantly agrees. She however keeps the more gruesome details a secret. The first scene of their Martyr shoot is all about torturing Camille/ Eulalia. They start by beating her with a stick while she is on her hands and knees.

She eventually falls and lays on her stomach while she is still beaten. For the next shoot, Camille stays the whole weekend at Tadeusz’s place. Julien slowly starts to show his jealousy towards Camille. Gabrielle also is getting jealous of all the attention Tadeusz is showing Camille.

He tells her not to worry. Too start the weekend photoshoot, Camille is hung on a metal chain by her shoulders with her arms tied loosely behind her. This is a very painful position and you can tell by her acting that she struggles a lot in the scene. Camille endures the shoulder hanging for a long time before she requests to be taken down.

I give her a lot of credit for how long she stayed up in that painful position. After that shoot, Camille is trying to get some much needed love from Julien, but his concern for her job is worrying him. Camille argues that it is now more than a job and is really an experience that she need to finish to the end. Eventually they make up and have sex. Julien however notices that Camille is having her period and is angry that she had sex with him knowing that she doesn’t like having sex with her during her period. Tension really builds between the two.

We also see Gabrielle’s jealousy growing as well when Tadeusz pays less attention to her. From the previous shoot, we discover that Tadeusz encourages Camille to use her period to make the scene feel more real. Camille is shocked that he finds the period of a woman natural and beautiful which she appreciates.

Camille then encourages him to use the blood from her period during the shoot. She then allows him to kiss him briefly. Then she tells him that she will go no farther with him. Gabrielle sees this and gets really jealous. At the next shoot, Camille is not in a good mood with her period and the big argument she had with Julien. She wishes for the shoot to be over as soon as possible.

She is then hung upside down and tied to the x-cross. She starts to feel reluctant to work being in this position while in her bad mood, but decides to still carry on. She stills asks for the shoot to move along faster. She then has red hot candle wax poured down her chest.

She gets angry and leaves the shoot pissed off. Things have went too far while in her bad mood. She tells everyone that she no longer wants to continue the photoshoots. Tadeusz is pissed to have lost a great model in Camille.

Gabrielle tries to cheer him up. She tries to convince him that crucifixions are not art. But he argues back by saying that she can’t do the same if she tried. She tells him that she can do it.

He agrees and goes along with it. The shoot doesn’t go well as Gabrielle doesn’t have the innocence that Camille has. It doesn’t work out.

He even tries to get Elisa forcefully to try it as well, but that ended really quickly. Eventually, he takes apart the cross and refocuses his efforts back on Gabrielle. Camille and Julien also have a big argument after seeing her laptop with the full story of Eulalia. Julien can’t take it anymore and wants her to quit.

Camille can’t understand why Julien doesn’t seem to understand that this is personal for her and her art like his music is an art for him. Later on, she tries to make it up to him with sex, but Julien is cold towards her. Julien’s jealousy has reached a boiling point.

She leaves Dave’s apartment and decides to go visit Elisa for the time being. She tells Elisa that he wants to go back and finish the shoot, but doesn’t want to give Tadeusz the wrong idea.

She likes to work with him, but she does not love him. Elisa tells Camille how much he misses her and that he would rather see this shoot get done and ignore his own desires for Camille. Camille tells Elisa that it will take some time before she sees Tadeusz again. Elisa tries to convince Camille that Julien is the problem here. Camille tells her that she still loves Julien.

Then she tells Elisa that Julien isn’t a problem anymore since she decided to break up the relationship. Elisa offers her home to Camille for the time being and she accepts her generous offer. While staying with Elisa, Camille starts feeling a strong bond with her. Camille finally decides to finally finish the shoot with Tedeusz, but only if Elisa joins her in the shoot as well by playing the role of Julia, Eulalia’s friend (lover?).

Elisa agrees. Camille shows Elisa the tools she needs to finish the shoot. Camille shows up at Tadeusz’s place to convince him to let her finish the shoot. He knows that she is really passionate with the shoot, but wants her full dedication to the rest of the shoot with no interruptions. Camille assures him that she is fully willing to do this and that the boyfriend is no longer a worry. Camille agrees as long as Elisa is doing the shoot with her.

Since Elisa is not working the cameras, Gabrielle would need to be behind the camera for the shoot. Everyone agrees to finish the shoot. Even Gabrielle who hesitates a little with Camille’s return. Camille hands the unknown tools to Tadeusz and starts to prepare the shoot. The tools are revealed to be large nails needed to crucify Camille to the cross. Camille also tells Tadeusz that after this shoot is over, she will never appear before him ever again and will be gone from his life. The final shoot starts with Camille tied AOH facing a long wooden post while being whipped hard.

Elisa watches as her cohort gets tortured. This is a very emotional scene for everybody. After Camille’s whipping, they lay her unconscious body face up on the floor. Then it is Elisa’s turn to be whipped. Gabrielle is the one to whip Elisa.

Elisa is however not bound and very good editing gives the illusion that she is being whipped. Since Elisa is not one of Jac’s regular Red Feline girl, this was the only way to show this whipping scene. Gabrielle is emotional while whipping the poor girl. Every female in the room is very emotional towards the two whipping scenes and it shows in their acting.

After her whipping, Elisa limps towards Camille’s unconscious body. We then see Dave and Julien discussing the fact that Camille may have gone too far with her fantasy to enact the death of Eulalia as a Martyr. Dave tries to get Julien riled up by telling him to blow his brains out. Julien thinks Dave is crazy, but eventually gets riled up enough to blow the trigger. The gun however wasn’t loaded.

Dave was never in danger, but he got Julien to express his true feelings towards the situation. While Dave goes to pick up some beer, Julien runs off with the gun. When Dave returns, he is troubled and goes out looking for Julien. While Elisa is not really eager to be hung on a cross, she tries to show a brave face all along.

But we soon learn that Camille and Tadeusz were not really intending to put Elisa on the cross. They were both able to convince Gabrielle to take her place. This twist really shocked me since Gabrielle did not like Camille stealing away the spotlight from her. But Gabrielle was finally moved by Gabrielle’s passion for what this shoot really stood for.

Gabrielle is ready to take her place on the cross. While Gabrielle is getting ready, they begin to nail Camille’s legs to the cross. Then she look over to her side is glad to see that Gabriele is right beside her to share the pain of her tortures. We then see Julien show up at the photoshoot.

I will stop here and not spoil the ending. I do however feel that the ending is left to be interpreted as I have many unanswered questions.

Summary: Camille is bored of doing nothing while staying with her boyfriend in order to help out his career. She than meets Tadeusz, a photographer who really lets her act out the great story of the martyr St. We see Camille suffer for her art and her passion, but she also feels empowered from doing the shoot.

This is also a story of jealousy as we see many of the films relationships being tested. Even though this is mainly a female oriented story, I believe males can enjoy it as well. I certainly enjoyed it from a guy’s point of view. I would give the story a B. If you have seen previous Red Feline movies, you know that Jac is really good when it comes to shooting great crucifixion scenes. Since this was a bigger budget film, he was able to make these scenes even better.

There are also some great whipping scenes with Camille. Camille is a really sexy girl and knows how to convey her suffering on screen. Overall I would rate this film a B. Great story about martyrdom.

There is a decent amount of GIMP content if you like whipping and crucifixions. If you are a fan of Red Feline’s earlier work, you will most likely enjoy this movie as well. [] 7409) joek0. The Milgram Experiment 4 by Mood Pictures Reviewed by Thomas Chaser By now I shouldn't have to tell you the premise behind Mood Pictures’ version of Professor Milgram’s famous experiment because I know you've gone right out and bought the previous three films, right? Of course you have. And you've loved every single one of them because of their groundbreaking advancement of science.

Of course, because we're all giant science nerds only interested in the developments of the human psyche. The fact that a beautiful woman is whipped and caned in the interest of scientific theory is completely beside the point. Usually, eventually, every series becomes stale; just the same thing over and over and over.

It becomes boring. Things get old, they wither, and they die. After “Milgram Experiment 3”, I thought Mood Pictures had done everything with the Milgram format that could be done. It was time for the series to die, but leave it up to Mood Pictures to change their hypothesis and run the experiment again.

Just when I thought the series had flatlined, its heart beats stronger, pumping fresh blood and rising like a phoenix from the ashes. What attracted me to the Milgram series in the first place was the psychological aspect of the thing – that a common girl answering a common advertisement would subject another girl to a severe beating simply because an authority figure told her to. It was a test of the Eichmann defense; that a person should not be blamed for the horrors of war if he (or she) were simply following lawful orders from a higher-ranking person. Unlike the earlier films, however, in “Milgram 4”, the roles of the model as the student and the mark as the teacher are reversed, and the results are startling, even to a jaded bondage reviewer like me.

We are presented with two trials. The first goes along as we would expect it to go along, based on what we've seen in the previous three Milgram Experiment films.

The second is completely unexpected. In the first trial, “Suzanne” (seen here in the #48 jersey) and “Anna” draw lots to see who will be in what role. Once again Dr. Lomp pulls the old switcheroo, guaranteeing that Anna draws the “STUDENT” card. Once in the experimentation room, however, things take a turn for the worst and Anna refuses to cooperate. This is a good thing, because it’s bad enough that the film tests a Nazi’s legal theory without having to test it on a woman with a haircut straight out of a concentration camp. So Suzanne, who is much more fetching in my opinion, offers to swap roles with her.

Anna quickly agrees and the game is on. And just like Wonder Woman, she is strong and stoic during her torture.

She winces and cries out and sweats from the abuse, of course, but you can tell this is no ordinary woman. She’s a strong one. As you might expect, the teacher begins to realize that, no matter how many whip-strokes the poor student receives, she won't know any more than she knows.

So what’s the solution? The lab assistant knows. You do, too, if you've watched the previous three Milgram Experiment films.

The teacher hasn't, though. She asks if the punishment will hurt less if the student is caned on the ass. The assistant tells her that it will hurt more. The teacher sits quietly as the student is stripped and prepared for the next level of punishment.

The assistant knows how this will end. I know how this will end. You know how this will end. Wonder Woman knows how this will end. There’s no reason for me to go into graphic detail (and believe me, it is graphic), so let me skip ahead to the next trial because it is amazingly phenomenal. I'd even say it’s what some of you have been wishing for since the first Milgram film, you bloodthirsty bastards.

What if the unsuspecting girl was the one strapped to the frame? That is exactly the question that is answered in what I consider to be a trial just as psychologically terrifying as anything ever offered up in the previous Milgram films. Gigi Weiss makes her return to Mood Pictures, which is good because she’s been one of my favorite models since her turn in “Fear”, as the girl that gets electro-tortured in “History of Pain: Military Interrogation”, and as the fourth trial student who gets whipped so much that she faints in “The Milgram Experiment” (the first film in the series). Partnered with her is “Anne”, a common girl simply answering an advertisement for a psychology experiment. Here she is answering Gigi's question about whether or not she’s seen “Fifty Shades of Grey” instead of reading the contract that surrenders her body to science. What I like about Anne is her innocent cuteness.

To her, this is a mix of a game and her latent curiosity about what it feels like to be whipped. When she gets the first few words correct, she actually manages to smile. But don't worry. She doesn't smile for long. This is the Milgram Experiment. There’s no laughing when pain is at stake, and sure enough, she feels the bite of the whip.

Mya, whom we saw suffer horribly at the hands of a true sadist at the end of “Milgram Experiment 3”, does a thorough job of giving our girl her first taste of the whip by wrapping the evil tail around the girl’s torso and popping her right on her nipple. Gigi isn't sympathetic to the girl’s plight. She’s been on the receiving end of what Anne is experiencing. She knows exactly the pace at which the strokes should be administered, and by the time the count reaches ten, the poor student is begging not to be whipped. Unfortunately for her, but fortunate for us, her plea falls on deaf ears. But something wonderful happens half-way through her whipping.

It’s as if an internal calm falls over her. She still jumps at the kiss of the whip, but she’s not the frightened, panicky girl that she was when the session first started. Maybe its those wonderful endorphins that women have. Maybe it’s the surrendering of herself to her fate as a subject to be whipped. Science can answer that later. Right now, the Milgram Experiment must continue with all of the dedication that science requires, and science requires that the executor whip the girl on nice, fresh skin. Anne’s skirt and hose leaving her naked and bound to the punishment frame.

She is told the pronounced number of strokes she is to receive, and her caning begins. Between blows, Gigi has a revelation. What makes this so poignant is that Gigi did not expect to be in the role of the teacher; she knew it was a set-up from the get-go.

That this girl should volunteer to be beaten was something none of them - Gigi, the lab assistant, nor Max – expected. Gigi becomes uncomfortable in her role but she knows that, even from the first blow, the student has had the power to stop her abuse. The only thing keeping that girl bound to that frame is her own fear of not finishing the experiment. And now, with her endorphins flowing, it looks like this common girl might be the first to make it all the way to the prescribed punishment of 50 whip-strokes.

Even Gigi has to look away as the girl screams and pulls at her bonds with each stroke of the cane. I won't tell you how this ends. I believe you should get a good surprise for your money.

Suffice to say that I never saw it coming. As for its rating, well, the women are hot, the cries are plentiful, and the torture is absolutely medieval.

Will there be a “Milgram Experiment 5”? I hope so, particularly if they can find at least two more pretty girls willing to sacrifice their bodies in the name of science, particularly if they aren't aware that the selection of “Student” and “Teacher” was rigged against them. My rating: A, on the strength of the final trial. Available at: [] 7414) joek0.

Something I forgot to mention in my Martyr review. I wish that they would have added the option to have subtitles in English for the hearing impaired like they do in their later videos by Pachamama Films. A lot of the actors have a pretty heavy accent when English is spoken. But I have to say that Jac's English is easiest to understand in this movie compared to his later acting. ****************** My next review that I am working on is one that Ralphus has been wanting to read.

As a huge fan of Powershotz, I decided to review PZV030 Slave Trained Teens. It stars 2 young cuties, Rayne and Mia.

If you have read some of the earlier Powershotz reviews, you will know that Ralphus really enjoyed Mia's first movie with Steve. Since I am a huge fan of Rayne from Powershotz, I decided to give this Mia movie a try. Ralphus was right about Mia being such a great victim. When I told Ralphus that I was going to review the other Mia movie here, he decided to update his Mia movie review with some nice video captures. I hope to have this review up by the end of the month. The DVD cover is shown above.

Link to Ralphus's review of the other Mia movie. [] 7425) fumetto. @T: Lord of Chaos is the WoT book you're thinking of, where some of the Aes Sedai get trapped in the evil dream bubble torture chamber; the best bit is where one of them, Morvrin, gets racked between iron wheels operated by Trollocs until she's disjointed, but sadly the descriptions of it are much too brief.

The same book's also got another hot torture scene where Semirhage is torturing a captured Aes Sedai, Cabriana, for information using just the Power; it's not got the thrill of a physical torture session but the way it plays out is very hot. 7430) A Canadian. JoekO: You've provided another fine addition to your reviewing career with your assessment of Martyr.

The caps give us a good idea of how much the Red Feline/Pachamama production values have evolved over time. As have their tastes in kink. I'm old enough to remember the days when we were quizzing Amy/Jane to learn why all of her company's films (way back when) ended with crucifixions.

Anyway, I think Martyr appears to be a little too consensual for my tastes. And I don't get overly excited about crucifixions, although I did like the one in. A Canadian - What? There's reviews? All I saw were a bunch of post by Fumetto. ******* Joek0 & Thomas Chaser - Thanks for the 'Milgrams 4' & 'Martyrs' reviews! Very well done!

I tend to get a bit lazy on mine.hence choosing to go the route of photo reviews instead. I would love to do reviews the way you have done.but that would be far too much work for this insomniac's sleep-deprived brain to handle. ********* Bill K - So Amy gets gobbled up by dinosaurs huh? Not quite how I envision Amy getting eaten.but nice work none the less. Thanks for the kind words regarding my review. I myself would like to see a remake of Martyr with Jane playing the role of Camille's character and either Vero or Mila playing the role of Gabrielle's character. I hope the Justine IndieGogo campaign is almost ready to begin.

I want to know what kind of perks are available to fund this awesome new GIMP movie. ****************** I may have a short Powershotz review up later tonight or tomorrow morning. It is a nice little clip review starring Mia. My big movie review that also stars Mia should be up this weekend.

I was lucky to get the weekend off from work and had a lot of spare time to write the reviews. Look forward to the reviews. I maybe the next John Galt when it comes to Powershotz reviews. Joek0 wrote: 'I want to know what kind of perks are available to fund this awesome new GIMP movie'.

They had some really neat one for Olalla. I got the Dvd and also a signed autographed picture of Ms.

Hesketh, tied naked on the bed from the movie. I remember they also had a book if I remember right.

Plus also to be an extra on the movie (I think for the mob scene where Amy get's BATS). But since I was already residing in the crawlspace of her residence, it was already easy for me to sneak onto the set as it was. 7435) Renzo Novatore. In regards to Powershotz, once in a while they put out a good scene. The chicks in their videos weren't super hot but most of them were fairly good looking, just your average women who you might find in everyday life and not porno stars, for the most part (something which I appreciate). They combined sex & bondage in some of their scenes also, which is always nice.

The guy with the black mask was in a lot of the videos, though, and that guy kind of annoyed me.isn't he the director? 'Steve Power' (the one and only)?

Anyway, I could have done without his style in those movie, especially his dialogue, which just kind of took me out of a lot of those scenes. Normally I'd say that the guy doesn't really matter in such scenes, and that I just want to see a hot woman get tied up & mistreated, but not in this case.

Oh well, everyone's a critic. Some of the women were surprisingly decent actresses, though, and really sold their roles as scared captives.

I also like the fact that Powershotz seemed to be focused on bondage and humiliation-centric storylines, involving non-consensual action & set in a contemporary environment. My main fetish in regards to fantasy BDSM is innocent pretty girls (who occupy some normal position in today's society) being taken away against their will by bad, bad men, with lots of bondage included.

Unfortunately that kind of scenario isn't discussed all that much on this forum (at least not lately), the soup of the day lately seems to be historical scenarios (ie inquisition etc) and POW/spy fantasies and 'endurance torture'-scenarios (ie films with long, extended whipping sequences) things like that. 7436) Centaurus.

Renzo Novatore I have the same preference for BDSM films. I like seeing women in their everyday lives suddenly captured and tortured. I also share your views on Powershotz, the fact they had a lot of 'girl next door' type actresses is what appealed to me. But, like you, the main villain's dialogue sometimes took me out of the fantasy. For me, the villain's acting ability, or lack thereof, can make or break a scene.

Of course seeing a hot women struggle and being tortured is great, but it really adds to the fantasy when someone can portray a believable villain. What producers/sites do you frequent to see these kinds of videos? If you haven't already, you might want to check out Torvea Films and Pro Villain Productions.

They have many videos geared towards the innocent girl is abducted and in peril. Back in 2006, Ralphus wrote his very first Powershotz review for PZV020 Mia's Abduction. Ralphus really enjoyed the movie and gave it some good praise. Since then, Ralphus has had mixed reactions to other Powershotz videos. The other Mia movie interested Ralphus, but he never took the plunge. When I joined this forum a little while back, Ralphus's review of Mia's Abduction really piqued my interest as I have yet to see any of her videos as a Powershotz fan.

Since another one of my favorite Powershotz girls was on the other Mia movie, I took the chance and bought it. Mia was awesome. When I told Ralphus that I planned on writting the review for the other Mia movie titled PZV030 Slave Trained Teens, Ralphus thanked me for doing this.

He then updated his review of Mia's abduction to include some screen caps. [] As I was writing the review, I noticed a short Mia clip that isn't on any Mia Powershotz movie.

It seemed like a Gimp worthy clip as well. Mia did not disappoint.

The review of this clip is below. I hope to have the review of PZV030 Slave Trained Teens up by this weekend. Ralphus will be happy to see every Mia movie reviewed here.

****************** GIMP Review Mia - Waxing and Whining Running time - 19:36 This Powershotz clip stars the beautiful Mia. The scene starts with Mia and her arms tied spread to the bed. She still has her black bikini top on, but isn’t wearing any bikini bottoms. Her legs are not yet bound as well. She is also wearing a pair of black high heeled shoes. While struggling in bed, the masked man goes to grab more rope. He returns and ties her legs together very tightly.

She asks why he is tying the ropes so tightly together. He says he has something special planned and doesn’t want her to struggle too much. He then lifts her legs up in the air and gives her a good spanking. He then pulls down her bikini top to reveal her lovely breasts. He then starts to fondle her breasts and pussy for a bit before the real fun begins. The masked man shows Mia a lovely lit candle.

Mia is worried that he is going to set her on fire. The masked man assures her that nothing like that is going to happen and that he has something more fun for her instead. As he is slowly waving the candle above her, she can’t imagine what he has in store for her. When a drop of wax falls on her breast, she finally realizes what is happening and begs him to stop. She is ignored. Her back arches quite a bit from the pain of the hot wax.

Her screams of pain are a delight to hear. Panicking from the pain of the hot wax, she blows out the candle when a chance permits. He begins to ease her pain by wiping away her tears.

But his pity for her stops there. He whips her a bit more with the unlit candle before lighting it again.

The masked man starts dripping more hot wax on her breasts. Even with the ball gag in her mouth, her cries and screams of pain are barely muffled by the gag. The pain from the hot wax also causes the poor girl’s back to spasm uncontrollably.

Tears are pouring out of the poor girl’s eyes. Her makeup is slightly ruined from the tears as well. Seeing the actual tears and hearing the screams of pain really let us know that the torture felt real and there was real pain. Mia endured a lot of pain to show us this wonderful GIMP filled scene. He then teases Mia asking her if she wants to do that again. He then fondles her breasts pretty strongly while teasing her that the wax looks good on her. He then unties one of hands so that she can scrape off the rest of the wax from her breasts.

He also warned her not to get any of the wax on the bed. Her disobedience causes her to get a couple whacks across the chest with the riding crop. He raises up her legs up to her head so that he can fondle her nice sweet ass. He then reties her arm back to the bed. Summary: Mia is one of the few young girls who has some decent acting skills when it comes to playing the role of the victim. While she is enduring the brutal hot wax torture, you can see and hear her emotions run wild throughout the painful ordeal.

The tears were a nice touch as well. Overall, I would give this short Powershotz clip an A.

Mia’s acting really sells her role as the victim. The light hot candle wax torture was a GIMP worthy scene. There weren’t any real production or editing issues that I noticed.

Mia or Steve may have briefly slipped out of character once, but barely noticeable. Could have been an A+ if Steve showed less mercy to Mia and if he fixed some editing issues. A must buy for any Mia fans. [] 7448) Renzo Novatore. 'What producers/sites do you frequent to see these kinds of videos?' If I were to make a GIMP film and someone were to ask me what my influences were, I'd probably say: * Bindher: This site (or group of sites, rather) is now defunct, but when I was first starting to explore bondage stuff on the web, back around mid-2000s or so, I found it to be pretty interesting. The kind of storylines Bindher did were exactly the kind of storylines I'd fantasized about and it was kind of a surprise to me that there were other people out there who had the same kind of BDSM interests as I did.

Bindher's stuff was pretty tame, though, and there was no sex or even torture to speak. Lackluster villains, too.

One video stands out in particular, though, in which Ariel Anderssen and CJ Sullivan are forced to strip naked at gunpoint, then bound and gagged and marched into the basement, where Ariel is executed (implied, not shown). That was definitely the darkest thing I've seen from them and it was one of their best videos.

Dawn Of War Soulstorm Free Download Iso. I love Ariel Anderssen as an actress, definitely one of my favorite bondage actresses. Her begging and pleading is awesome. Fellow Brit Rosaleen Young also did some work for them and was also quite good in the victim role.

* The 'Slave Island' series of videos: These are some of my favorite movies and in my opinion they even have good replay value. IMO the series is a landmark in the history of GIMP film.

The only thing that bothers me about SL is that, while they get so many things right, they also get some things really wrong; the 'bondage' in the films is mostly pathetic, with the exception of the steel handcuffs used in the first few features. The films are also very rape-oriented, at the expense of torture.there's very sparse scenes of whipping or electro torment or any other good stuff like that, unfortunately.

The '1st generation' SL was great, 'New Slave Island' was also good but a couple of the titles were lackluster, and the newest SL series has been a big disappointment for me. * PKF Films: I only learned about these through this website. But they make some really great, high-quality GIMP films. 'Death fetish' really isn't my thing but a lot of the scenes they do are just really well done, by both the actresses and actors. 'Cheerleader's Coach' starring Rilynn Rae is probably one of my all time favorite GIMP films.

* Kink.com: 95% of what they do isn't of much particular interest, it's mostly just straight pornography with some bondage thrown in. They do bondage right, though, it's tight and immobilizing. I've always appreciated that about them. Plus the sheer volume of material they put out means that once in a great while they'll put out something good. Honorable mention: *ZFX: I never was that big into ZFX but some of what they did was pretty good.I remember liking 'The Jackbooth Job' a good deal. Kelly McKay was damn good looking in that one. And that's about it as far as favorites go.

There are a bunch of sites or companies that have one or a few individual GIMP films that I like, though. The UK production company Squeels had a couple good ones, for example.

Other companies like FM Concepts do the general themes I like in bondage, plus have really beautiful models, but are a bit too 'soft-core' for my tastes. Brand new visitor to this forum. I was watching a Dateline or 48 Hours Mysteries-type show once, quite a few years ago, when they featured a story about two young teenage dating couples who'd been kidnapped by armed thugs one night and held captive for a while.

One of the things the kidnappers apparently forced them to do was for both girls to fuck each other's boyfriend while the others all watched. This was naturally very traumatic for the girls involved, especially since they claimed to be virgins at the time, but being at gunpoint and in fear for their lives, they complied. The girls were also ordered to go down on each other. As I watched this serious report, I realized that I found this scenario very arousing. So I'm wondering if there are any movies with attractive actresses that portray a similar situation? Renzo Novatore says, 'What producers/sites do you frequent to see these kinds of videos?' I would have to add to that Blakemore, wherever you can find him.

I was lucky enough (and old enough) to buy the original VHS tapes on 42nd St before it was gentrified. Blakemore is pure BDSM - no nonsense, no psychologizing [can you imagine if someone on the set asked Blakemore how he felt about torturing the girls? Ha!], no attempts at artsy-fartsy 'social relevance' - not even dialogue. Short 20 minute vignettes, each different, each creative - it's almost poetry, if you could say something like that about bondage. I'm a 'meat & potatoes' man and what I see around these days is a lot of nouvelle cuisine and fusion cuisine, chic to be accepted as bondage for the larger audience that needs sophistication to be acceptable, but little to satisfy the appetite. Hence Kink and its imitators.

How I wish someone, with special effects, would do a Quoom-esque or an Arcas-esque movie - again, short like Blakemore, the less dialogue the better. Renzo, you called the current trend 'endurance' bondage - more and more of the same thing prolonged - a great term - why not just do the Saudi thing and go for 1000 strokes? It seems to me that a lot of bondage, esp at Kink sites, is just gymnastics with ropes. For all who are new to this site, who have not seen Blakemore - try to find him. It's under 'violence classics' - there is some adulteration of the stuff out there - I'm not sure if the commercial outlets sell his tapes - but Blakemore is a classic to which all others have to be compared, in my humble opinion.

7451) xxxxprojekt. Joek0: Great work on the review of Mia - Waxing and Whining. The clip looks like a lot of fun and that Mia sure is fetching. It's easy to see why she has such devoted fans. --- Jimbo wrote: What producers/sites do you frequent to see these kinds of videos?

Of course, the question wasn't directed at me, but I'll chime in anyway because Renzo's answer caught my interest. Here are some of my favorite producers: • ZFX Productions: Some of the features -- particularly the ones starring Lisa Kinkaid -- still stand among the best GIMP films ever. Remains one of the greatest GIMP films ever made. I hope people enjoyed the short clip review featuring the lovely Mia. The hot wax torture was a GIMP sight to behold. I finally finished my review for the full length feature movie from Powershotz starring Mia. Everyone enjoy the review.

I know that Ralphus is glad to see every Powershotz movie with Mia is now available here. Taking a break from writing reviews. My next review will probably be done at the end of July.

It will be a review from a feature length Powershotz movie starring Rayne. Look forward to it. ******************* GIMP Review PZV030: Slave Trained Teens PZV030: Slave Trained Teens is a full length movie by Powershotz. It stars two teen models, Mia and Rayne. Both are very hot and have a great innocent next door girl type look. The majority of the movie features the lovely Mia (age 22 in this shoot) which runs for about 90 minutes. She is wearing a lovely business suit with a short skirt and glasses.

We are treated to a pretty decent abduction scene where a masked man grabs Mia while she goes to grab some ice. Mia is really great at whimpering and crying like she does in her previous film with Steve.

As she is lying on the ground, the masked man cuffs her wrists behind her. After all that, the masked man removes the handcuffs from her wrists. She is finally told to remove the rest of her clothes.

Mia is a sexy sight to behold naked. Mia is then seated on the loveseat sofa along with her captor.

He joins her on the couch and starts to enjoy his new slave. She then gets on her hands and knees on top of the couch. She is then told to lay her head onto the couch while she grabs her ankles with her hands. This forces her to lift up are sexy round ass for all to see.

He asks her if she can take anything up her ass. She says nothing will fit up there.

This foreshadows her upcoming anal training scene later in the shoot. The masked man brings out some white slave rags for Mia to wear. He then ties her arms crossed behind her back. He then connects the rope on her arms to a crotch rope.

The rest of the rope connecting to the crotch rope is then used to tie her knees together. Too much struggling and Mia will feel the crotch rope riding up her sweet pussy. Another piece of rope is used to tie her ankles together. He lays her on the side atop of the sofa.

He then stuffs her mouth and ties around her mouth with a white cleave gag. He then pinches her nose a few times for some light breathing torture. He then gives her a little choking. He then rips her rags in the middle so her breasts are easily available. The masked man leaves her like this to struggle for a few hours.

We get to see her struggle on screen for a few minutes. Slight editing problem. Mia was able to get one of her arms free. There is a slight cut in the action to fix this. This bit was not removed from the movie.

After a little while she is able to spit her gag out. The masked man catches her in time. Mia’s excuse is that she isn’t feeling well and that she may need to vomit. She begs him for something to drink. He ignores her and reapplies the cleave gag. He then lifts her up and takes her to bed with him.

The fade to the next scene has some editing issues. When they get to bed. Mia is told to sit in the middle of the bed. He plays with her body some more. He then strips off her slave rags. He then grabs some rope to tie her up again.

He starts by tying it around her neck. He then starts to tie her elbows together. He then finishes that by tying her wrists together crossed behind her back.

He then begins to whip her with the riding crop. After a lot of whipping, he wants Mia to beg for his cock in order for the whipping, to stop. She refuses and keeps answering that she wants to be let go. He keeps whipping her until her will breaks and she asks for his cock. I love seeing the humiliation on poor Mia’s face.

The masked man then has Mia on her knees with her head on the bed so that her ass is high up in the air. He then takes out his cock (plastic since most models won’t let Steve use his real cock). I also love to hear Mia argue with her captor that his large cock won’t fit up her tight ass. He tells her that it will hurt at first, but that she learn to love it.

He then gets Mia to suck on his cock. Mia’s anal scene was not shown on this movie. I do however have a copy of the movie where the anal training scene is available. I will review it here as a bonus. The scene comes from Powershotz movie PZV038: 8 Ball 6 Pack. Mia is kneeling on the bed with her wrists tied to each of her ankles. With her head placed on a sofa cushion atop of the bed.

This allows for Mia’s ass to be lifted high in the air so that the captor can work on her sexy pussy and ass. He starts by fingering her pussy to warm her up. He sees that her pussy is already starting to get moist. Since there is only one camera used for this shoot, we only get to see one angle at a time for this shoot.

The first angle we are treated to is of her face. From this angle, we get to see her facial expressions as she is lubed up and warmed up for her anal training.

She also gets a few spanks as well. We get to hear Mia whimper and complain that nothing will fit up her tight ass. Her emotions along with her defiance make for a great scene. We then hear loud moans and see her face squirming in pain. We can only guess that our masked man has stuck a finger or two up her ass. Her reactions to the anal prodding are really good. Can’t tell how much of it is acting.

The next camera angle we are treated to is one where we get a good view of her pussy and ass. Even if we can’t see her facial expressions, we get to hear all the sexy sounds that come out of her mouth. The masked man starts to lube up has ass once again. He then sticks his thumb up her ass while he fondles her pussy with his other fingers. He gives her a few spanks as well. He then sticks two then 3 fingers up her ass. Her moans have gotten even louder.

He gives her a nice finger fucking in the ass. He finishes her off by rubbing her sore ass with both of his hands. The last 10 or so minutes of the movie is a brief scene with the hot young Rayne. She is a hot young looking 18 year old brunette without any tattoos. She has been in many Powershotz videos with Steve in the past. The scene starts with Rayne tied naked on top of a table. Her legs are spread and tied to the table legs.

Her arms are tied together which are also tied to the table legs. We learn that Rayne was hired as a maid, but the masked man was not happy with her work and later tied to the table. I later learn that this maid shoot with Rayne is from a previous shoot of Rayne that I do not own. We hear her begging to be released, but is ignored. He fondles her for a while. He then tells Rayne that he will leave her there for a while to run some errands. She begs him to let her go, but he refuses.

We get a scene change with Rayne tied face down spread eagled on the same table. She is seen sleeping on the table. Before waking her, the masked man fondles her a bit more. The masked man than wakes her up with a slap to her ass.

She is still begging to be let go, but he responds by asking if she likes the position she is in. He then says that he will let her go after he gives her a good fucking in this position. She cries and whimpers and begs him not to do it. He tells her that he’ll be gentle and use some lube. We get some back and forth bantering until Rayne accepts the fucking and the lube.

The scene ends at this point. Her actual ass fucking is on another DVD which I do not own. Summary: Mia and Rayne are two great girls that have worked with Steve before. The both can act when playing the role of a convincing victim. A few times in the movie, we see the girls break character. The masked man really knows how to humiliate the girls. Mia’s abduction and slave training are pretty well done.

And Rayne’s begging is OK as well. Many will also like the fact that there are no use of the split screens which is predominant in Steve’s later movies. Because of a few editing issues and a few instances where the victim breaks character, I would give this film a B.

It definitely shows that this is still one of Steve’s earlier works. Mia’s anal scene from PZV038 gets a B- from me as well. Mia’s scene is non-consensual at the start, but gets consensual near the end as she advances in her slave training. Rayne’s scene is non-consensual all the way until the end where she agrees to the captors wishes. A lot of great GIMP scenes. I recommend it for any fan of Mia. The link below will take you to the store page to the downloadable version.

A DVD version is available as well. You can also find the downloadable version of PZV038 at the store as well.

However PZV038 isn't available on DVD. [] 7462) Ralphus. A few words, please, about apathy. I know the nature of the Internet is that almost everybody lurks and very few people contribute. I've been with this site from the very beginning and we have the same problem here.

It's too easy to grab whatever you get on this site.whether it be the photos, the artworks, the free video clips.and just say nothing and move on. I'm as guilty as anyone lately. Most nights I've been too tired from working to work up a post and the people who contributed end up going unacknowledged.

I'm sorry about that, too. As the moderator here, I've dropped the ball because I should be leading by example.

But I'm not the only one. We've recently gotten 3 cap-filled reviews by Joek0 and who has said thank you? One person, A Canadian. No one else thinks they're even worth mentioning? As a guy who's written his share of reviews over the years, I can tell you they take hours to write, not to mention going to the next step and making vidcaps to go along with it. Joek0 is an enthusiastic new poster; he likes to contribute his opinions to the board and he's running into the same level of apathy from this gang that everyone else does.

It probably won't be long before I hear the same thing from him that I've gotten from countless others over the years, which paraphrases to something like this: 'I tried posting, but no one responded and I got frustrated and gave up.' BTW, just to be fair, Joek0 hasn't said anything of the sort to me, but I've seen it happen too many times to think that he will be any different.

Recently, JD posted his video clip and commented that it's getting hard to do keep this up every day. When I asked him via e-mail what was up, he told me he kind of lost the enthusiasm, to be honest.

The reason isn't hard to figure out why. He goes to the trouble to make these clips, creates teaser vidcaps to whet our appetites, uploads them to the net and what happens? No one says a thing.

And because he's a frequent poster, this goes on day after day after day with little change. After a while a guy's gotta wonder if it's even worth it. Contributing for the joy of sharing is a noble cause, but everybody needs feedback. We don't get paid, and having others thank us for our contributions goes a long way. The sad thing is, it's so easy to say thank you.

You can do it in a minute. And yet the gang around here can't even seem to lift a finger to do even that. It's truly pathetic, and it's embarrassing, too. It's the one thing that will kill this site the same way it's killed other sites and groups. The posters all give up and before long, the activity grinds to a standstill.

We've got a really good site here, but just imagine what it would be without the contributions of its best posters, people like JD and Covers and others who add to it every day. So I'll leave it up to you guys. If you don't care about the free video clips that JD gives us every day, continue to say nothing. I can't read his mind, but I could easily imagine him saying the hell with it and just deciding it's not worth it anymore. I wouldn't blame him.

If, on the other hand, you like and appreciate his contributions, here's a novel idea: Tell him. Post to the board and let him know that yes, you really like those videos. Particularly this recent Lost Souls series; I'm loving these series of clips.

Never heard of the movie, but I love the evil tone of misogyny this film is showing us. Looking forward to the next one. There, that last paragraph took me 2 minutes to write. How about the rest of you? How about we show JD what we think of him in the days to come?

And Covers, too. Not to mention the ones who review movies for us, among others. Let's let these guys know that we like their contributions and appreciate what they do for the board. Is it worth it to you, or would you rather see them leave? Like I say, it's up to you. This is your board, and it's your actions, or lack thereof, that are gonna be what makes or breaks it.

Ralphus wrote (Post 7400): I agree, I think it's an excellent new section, and I'm glad you guys seem to like it. There's so many hidden treasures out there, and I'm glad we can share them with the rest of the community. Thanks man, and to the others who commented on the latest update. But as dalpass said in Post 7374, more power to those who can keep the section growing which is a reminder that anyone is welcome to contribute GIMP oriented comics to be published here, so long as they are in the public domain, in reasonably good shape, and not already available at dozens of other sites. I know that's a tall order, but with 2000 people passing through here each day, some of you must be sitting on some rare and forgotten gems.

Also, any multilingual masochists with too much time on their hands, please sign up immediately to join the elite (and unpaid) Fumetti Translation Corps. Flinstone wrote (Post 7346): Not sure if you can do requests, but if you have access to any Lou Kagan works, that would be much appreciated. I have two of the Kagan comics in hardcopy: the first Penelope adventure from B&D Pleasures and The Slave and the Lash from HOM. I'll scan them and post them in future updates. JD wrote (Post 7344): What font type do you use to aproximate so well the stencils used to put text in the fumetti back in the day? 95% of the text and dialogue is rendered with Comic Sans MS.

Kind of a no-brainer choosing that one. On occasion I use a few other fonts for emphasis. Ralphus wrote: We've got a really good site here, but just imagine what it would be without the contributions of its best posters, people like JD and Covers and others who add to it every day. Wow, I'm one of the best posters?

You are too kind. How am I going to think of you as a sick, sadistic bastard when you write nice stuff like that? It does occur to me that I'd like to make a shout out to Arcas, who I don't believe has posted for almost three months.

Arcas, I miss you man! I hope you are okay and just busy making more masterworks. Sorry I didn't comment on your stuff very often. It's a bit too brutal for my taste, but still awesome!

7465) Bill K. Gimpers, the apathy problem can be corrected with a 'Thank Box' for each post like Pluptoon.com has. I didn't post a thank you to Joek0's posts because the theme didn't interest me. Not that I didn't appreciate Joek0 time and effort in posting them.

That goes for Covers and JD or any Gimpers that post artworks and videos clip too, which all deserve a thank you. Not all that sure that most Gimpers leave because no one or few gives a thank you posts to their artwork or posted reviews and videos but do Gimpers really need a thank you posts to stay and continue posting their artwork or views or clips? Don't know if a 'thank you' box is the answer but it's a option to think about. Arcas home site is: [], which he hasn't posted anything lately there that can find either. Covers not sure that's the reason he not posted here lately but I believe he always posts there first before anyway else. Ralphus, I agree, a lot (most?) of times people don't reply to show their appreciation of someone's post.

I tend to think, though, that most readers really enjoy and appreciate the artworks, reviews etc that get posted here, they're just shy to express it. For every 1 'thank you' post, I bet there are dozens of happy lurkers. And there are dozens of happy lurkers even for these posts that seem to go un-thanked, it just so happened they didn't get that 1 verbal supporter.

As an example, I offer Dubby aka Balthazar, for whose art there was massive support and collector's frenzy when it was thought he had retired. Now that he's active again and posting more than once a week with artwork on pimpandhost.com, there's hardly any thank-yous in the forum. We all appreciate his work just. I can see how it can be frustrating for the artist but really, he should know that he has lots of shy fans out there.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that posters should assume (by default) that we all appreciate their posts, even if there's not much response; and this would be true more often than not. It can be frustrating though, I agree. A propos, THANK YOU Dubby for the last batch of pictures! 7468) Covers the Relentless. I'm glad to see someone reviewing the Powershotz films.

I own a number of the shorter clips already but the catalogue is so big that there are dozens that I'm still considering. So thanks JoeK for picking up that lance and carrying it forward! I also enjoy JD's vidclips and Covers' daily postings. The old magazine covers give a nice jolt to the forum to remind me of what I used to have to settle for before the Internet. The cover headlines are also a bit comical sometimes, like the one about the guy that had to treat his wife like a harlot. Third, even though I don't contribute to the discussion, I do enjoy the back-and-forth about the Japanese videos.

Some of those are quite good, even for folks not into Asian porn and pixilated pussies. I have to give Japanese producers credit for creativity, even while hamstrung by their domestic regulations. Fourth, I enjoy people finding new material that I may have missed, like this one from the movie 'Break'. So for those creating reference material for the rest of us, salute! Thanks for the concern Ralphus!

I know that people are shy when posting on a site like this. I understand if people don't directly thank me for my contributions.

I do it for myself and for the people I help promote. They deserve it! Steve and Amy have already told me that my reviews were very much appreciated.

As long as I make people aware of their great work, I will be happy to send people their way with my reviews. Steve coming here to post in the last few weeks after a long absence shows that Steve appreciates what the forum does and he knows about and accepts the silent majority. If you're too shy to post your thanks here, shooting me an email is fine as well. I would also like to thank everyone for the great contributions that were lately posted.

I enjoy the effort from those who share. I only had time to thank Thomas Chaser for his review since it was posted right after my review. I've been busy since then getting the last 2 reviews done to share. I hope everyone keeps sharing and giving feedback to all who contribute. We have a great community here.

Ralphus wrote: Don't expect much feedback; it's rare that writers do around here, the latest story by Eda Chang being a rare exception. Don't take it personally if no one says anything; for some reason, the crowd around here just doesn't acknowledge writing, whether it be in stories or reviews. Several months ago, right after I re-found GIMP, I informed Ralphus of my intent to rewrite my old stories for posting here. He DID thank me in the email for being willing to contribute to the Forum, but also added that statement.

In my reply I told him that recognition is always nice--it is--but I wouldn't lose sleep either way. (Actually, my biggest thrill came when a few of you remembered them from 15 years ago. Never expected that.) I never wrote for any recognition (certainly not for the money.-) I write because I like gimp stuff and can't express that any other way. It also gives me the opportunity to write precisely what I like to read. Posting to GIMP has the added advantage of providing an--ahem--captive audience already predisposed to like the subject matter. I have one very long collection of attached scenes I have shared privately with a few of you who have expressed an interest, but will likely never put up on GIMP. I wrote most of it long before I rejoined GIMP for no other reason than I had fun writing it.

People who create should get some recognition from those who enjoy it, but I don't think that's the main reason they create. I take my satisfaction from producing something as good as I can make it and the private knowledge that it IS being read by others who would like it, followers and lurkers alike. I learned that when I ran my tumblr sadism blog. Besides the occasional outright complement for an exceptional contribution (In my case, recognition in a medium, like art, I can't duplicate.), I put up the odd response to some comment. The thanks comes from the implied knowledge that someone else has read what they wrote and thought about the statement enough to agree or disagree with it.

For the same reason, I don't think forum readers should feel guilty about not thanking every post, either to be thought of as ingrates or leading to the possible demise of this excellent repository of talent and informed opinion. While a 'Like' box could be used, adding one could be a real pain in the ass for a moderator who already volunteers a lot of time, gratis. Anyone else notice that pulling up the GIMP site doesn't immediately fire up the Live Jasmin page, or tell you to upgrade your browser? (Thank YOU, Ralphus; happy to do this often.) Like boxes may be appropriate for Facebook, but if it becomes necessary here, the forum is already in trouble. Well, my two cents. To Ralphus and Joe.Thank you for posting reviews of my work! I have been working to start another business and have been remiss in my duties.

Your reviews are surely bringing sales. The content is disorganized because I had to remove some of it at times to placate the banks compliance officers. Then put it back up later. At the same time there were technology changes. I went through half a dozen moves which resulted in some footage being lost. Katrina is not on DVD. If I can find the original content I may be able to get it edited and released.

8 Ball and a Six Pack was never put on DVD either. Several computer crashes caused some loss. Some material was hidden in the PZV series and then later re released in the VL series.

In the early days of Mia, I was just beginning to shoot video. So some of her content is not on DVD. Will try to get the content better organized. Again thanks Ralphus for the compliments and reviews.

Steve 7474) Steve. In case you guys are interested in the Mia Anal Training clip from my review of Slave Training Teens, there is a place to buy a downloadable version of the clip. It is available at his clips4sale store which Steve posted about. It is a 24 minute clip for $22. Price maybe a little high. My recommendation is to buy the downloadable version of PZV038 8 Ball and a 6 Pack from the Powershotz store for $40.

It includes 8 scenes total which all start with oral sex. One of those is Celena who is now better known as Christina Carter. Steve was lucky to work with her early in her bondage career. 3 of those girls also had an anal scene. Mia, Rayne, and one other ( Not Carter) were the girls with an anal scene. Rayne, the other girl from Slave Trained Teens, had anal sex with real cock (seems like Steve is the one fucking her).

Mia's anal scene is also available at clips4sale for $13 for a 13 minute video. It is called 'Slave Spread, Oiled, and Butt Fucked'. The 3 anal scenes make 8 Ball and a 6 Pack the better deal over buying the clip at clips4sale. Your call on how you want to buy it. Thanks Steve for your posts.

Glad to help you out. 7477) J Scourge.

Yes, I am as guilty as anyone else here who has not taken the time to say 'Thank you!' To the wonderful posters here. Whether it is art, pictures and GIFs, stories, reviews, essays or just your two cents worth of opinions, I want to let you all know I am grateful for the whole lot of you. This site cannot be just one person. Despite all the hard work that Ralphus puts into it, he is only one person (contrary to popular opinion) and it is because of all of you who have made the contributions that you have that makes this site so damn great. I am certainly one of those that have made posts that may only get some so-so responses, but I do realize that does not mean it was not read. Yes, everyone loves a pat on the back.

You never outgrow your love of praise--or sometimes even constructive criticism because it still means someone has taken notice of you. The point is we all could take heed of what Ralphus has said and take a moment more often to say something nice to posters here, especially if you really enjoyed what you saw or read. My apologies BTW to those who said something to me regarding a somewhat recent post I made and my lack of response to them. I do not have the time now to go back to find it and properly respond but I do still hope to. I have enjoyed doing those SCOURGE'S SOAPBOX essays I had been writing and do intend on doing more but my delay is more because I have been so damn busy with real life day to day activities including a shitload of work than because of a lack of interest or because I did not get my ego stroked enough (or other than ego). In closing, it is amusing how nice a crowd of people there are here for a site that specializes in cruelty and sadistic treatment to my favorite gender.

My best to you all! J Scourge P.S. Just so you don't think my opinions have changed, more posts involving larger breasts in various torments including but not limited to whipping is especially enjoyable in my book--and as a deference to Ralphus, do try to keep tattoos out of it, okay? 7478) erodite.

Hi, I did this just before I got food poisoning last month, which in a way was good because the docs found something worse and I'm recovering from that. Anyway, all this talk about recognition. I realize that I don't recognize my fellow writers, so here: love you EDA and EL W.

I also don't write the typical 'Men's magazine' type story that Ralphus suggests I do. I try for humor. And get nothing. Not even a 'stupid' as a comment. There's been more comments about just one of the new comics Fritz has posted than I have comments as a writer total.

(Keep Posting Fritz ) I note other writers are dropping out too. So, I'm considering dropping out of the fiction board too since I get nice and positive comments at Deviant Art (erodite2). But I'm not leaving the forum, you're not getting rid of me, yet.

I have been working on an ISOYG story for three months and have a plot problem so I'm going to ask all of you how I should resolve it. Should the victim tell the story, or from a third person view? Should the victim necessarily be the one doing the revenge? I would love some comments, good or bad.

As for lunch specials: don't order the piece of ass pizza to go. 7479) A Canadian.

Oh boy, this stone flew much further than I wanted. Thanks, Ralphus, you made me look like a whining attention whore (that I am). Bill K, thanks for the idea but a THANKS button is definitely NOT needed. Let me explain, shortly. What I meant in my PRIVATE chat (you hear that, pesky midget?

) with our esteemed host. It's not the lack of gratitude that I miss. It's rather a feeling of lack of interest since I admit my taste in female sufferances are much milder and more framed than for almost all of the audience.

Since it's a bit of effort to upload the files (my uplink is only 800Kbs) it made me wonder if it's worth the effort if almost no one cares about it. I don't wanna be like the proverbial lunatic perorating alone on his barrel.

Furthering Bill K's suggestion, a button of ' Fuck that! Can't watch your shit!' Would still be OK as would show some emotional response. Or at least someone took the trouble to download the 'shit' in the first place As they say, you wanna be part of the signal, not the noise. That was my whining to Ralphus.:) I simply questioned my relevance on this particular forum.

Now we can leave it to rest, I hope. Today's update is from yesterday's season finale of Game of Thrones. A scene of humiliation of Queen Cersei, being walked naked through the crowd while being pelted with rotten veggies rather than actual torture. I can use this clip as a good example of my previous conundrum.

How much of this particular hardcore audience would enjoy such a mild clip, I wonder? * rhetorical question, of course* [] Password: ralphus.net 7481) joek0. @A Canadian If you want to get a Mia movie, I would start with PZV020: Mia's Abduction or whatever the new title Steve chose to please credit card companies. Ralphus reviewed that back in 2006 and it is still one of his favorites. His review encouraged me to buy it and I agree with most of what Ralphus has stated in his review.

Slave Trained Teens is still good, but Mia's Abduction is much better GIMP wise. And I really recommend the Waxing and Whining clip as well to start. So basically, me and Ralphus give PZV020: Mia's Abduction our seal of approval. Ralphus's review of 'PZV020: Mia's Abduction' [] 7482) A Canadian.

Although studying is considered a legitimate scientific nowadays, it is still a very young one. In the early 1970s, a psychologist named J. Guilford was one of the first academic researchers who dared to conduct a study of creativity. One of Guilford’s most famous studies was the nine-dot puzzle.

He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. Today many people are familiar with this puzzle and its solution. In the 1970s, however, very few were even aware of its existence, even though it had been around for almost a century. If you have tried solving this puzzle, you can confirm that your first attempts usually involve sketching lines inside the imaginary square. The correct solution, however, requires you to draw lines that extend beyond the area defined by the dots.

At the first stages, all the participants in Guilford’s original study censored their own thinking by limiting the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square (even those who eventually solved the puzzle). Even though they weren’t instructed to restrain themselves from considering such a solution, they were unable to “see” the white space beyond the square’s boundaries. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the illusory confinement and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. The symmetry, the beautiful simplicity of the solution, and the fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford and the readers of his books to leap to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral (via 1970s-era media and word of mouth, of course). Overnight, it seemed that creativity gurus everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box.

Consultants in the 1970s and 1980s even used this puzzle when making sales pitches to prospective clients. Because the solution is, in hindsight, deceptively simple, clients tended to admit they should have thought of it themselves. Because they hadn’t, they were obviously not as creative or smart as they had previously thought, and needed to call in creative experts. Or so their consultants would have them believe. The nine-dot puzzle and the phrase “thinking outside the box” became metaphors for creativity and spread like wildfire in, management, psychology, the creative arts, engineering, and personal improvement circles. There seemed to be no end to the insights that could be offered under the banner of thinking outside the box.

Speakers, trainers, training program developers, organizational consultants, and university professors all had much to say about the vast benefits of outside-the-box thinking. It was an appealing and apparently convincing message. Indeed, the concept enjoyed such strong popularity and intuitive appeal that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research —Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg—ran another experiment using the same puzzle but a different research procedure. Both teams followed the same protocol of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment.

The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box bordering the dot array. In other words, the “trick” was revealed in advance. Would you like to guess the percentage of the participants in the second group who solved the puzzle correctly? Most people assume that 60 percent to 90 percent of the group given the clue would solve the puzzle easily. In fact, only a meager 25 percent did.

What’s more, in statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement over the subjects of Guilford’s original study is insignificant. In other words, the difference could easily be due to what statisticians call sampling error.

Let’s look a little more closely at these surprising results. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and explicit instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless when actually trying to solve a problem involving a real box should effectively have killed off the much widely disseminated—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking spurs creativity.

After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a myth. Of course, in real life you won’t find boxes.

But you will find numerous situations where a creative breakthrough is staring you in the face. They are much more common than you probably think. *From Copyright 2014 Drew Boyd.

There are many theories of creativity. What the latest experiment proves is not that creativity lacks any association to thinking outside-the-box, but that such is not conditioned by acquired knowledge, i.e., environmental concerns. For example, there have been some theories such as those of Schopenhauer (see his remarks about Genius) and Freud (see his remarks about Sublimation) that propose creativity is something more like a capacity provided by nature rather than one acquired or learned from the environment. Rather than disproving the myth, in other words, the experiment might instead offer evidence that creativity is an ability that one is born with, or born lacking, hence why information from the environment didn't impact the results at all. It's an interesting experiment, but the author's conclusion cannot possibly follow from the results of it.

I conduct soft skills training and outbound training for Corporates and individuals. To enhance creativity we motivate the participants to approach the problems from variety of vantage points. Even repeatedly checking the boundary conditions we are able to come up with variety of ways of solving the problem. This is akin to checking the walls of the box. Looking inside the box for additional information, additional resources also helps.

Looking at the box from bird's eye view triggers some different creative solutions. Let us not get tied down to the mechanics but free ourselves to find the solution. I will give an example.

You are playing football with family and friends at a distant ground and someone gets bruised badly. No first aid kit is available. Your priority is to get the person to a hospital ( at a distance of 2 hours ). The wound is bleeding and needs to be kept clean and bacteria free till the person reaches the hospital. What will you do? Think of a solution. It is quite close to you.

With all due respect, Professor Boyd, your argument is not at all compelling. It seems that you are taking the 'thinking outside the box' (TOTB) metaphor much more literally than it is intended (or, at least, as I and may others infer). Let me point out a few false and/or negligent statements that you make: 1. To refer to TOTB as 'dangerous' is naive, at best. I, personally, have seen the positive, tranformative effects of not only the 9-dots exercise, but also the occasional use of the term to remind individuals after-the-fact about the value of thinking differently. The experiment you refer to doesn't even come close to proving what you suggest that it does.

To use the term 'proving' in an argument like this is laughable. In real life, you absolutely WILL find boxes.that is, if you understand what the term 'box' refers to. Here, the term is not literal; rather, it refers to a mindset, a perspective, a belief, or an assumption. It is precisely how the human mind works. We all think in boxes all the time.

The 'sin,' if you will, is not in thinking inside of a box.but the neglect to readily switch from one box to another, nimbly (see Alan Iny's new book, 'Thinking in New Boxes'). A different -- and very healthy, positive, and productive -- way to think about TOTB is to understand that it merely represents an insight that can remind an individual to consciously become aware of limiting assumptions. And, upon such awareness, to open ones mind and imagination to actively explore new possibilities beyond the obvious or initial answer. If you don't regard this as valid contribution to creativity, then I suggest you consider spending a bit more time outside of that 'box' that you've presented here.

I couldn't have said it any better. TOTB is a beautiful skill to have. We are born into multiple boxes that are created upon social agreements (e.g. Illustrated by the hermeneutic circle) but the ones who dare to think outside of what is considered as social or scientific correct (all the boxes together) are the minds whom are absolute free and open towards new moralities, paradigms, innovations and creativity in general.

Saying that TOTB is a negative thing is a very conservative statement and someone who has such a belief is scared of change, scared of diversity and scared of anything that is abstract and out of order. I'm all about TOTB and the best way to TOTB is to fully understand the box in the first place and why some people are scared of TOTB hence also lacking the ability to do so. Fold the paper so all the dots ovelap. Use four lines to connect four dots. Hold the folded paper up to the light.all dots connected; Thinking outside The Box. For that matter, you could fold the paper until all the dots overlapped and you would not need to waste any pencil lead; Thinking outside The Box. Use a very wide pencil lead or charcoal block for that matter, connect all the dots in one fell swoop; Thinking outside The Box.

Forego a pencil altogether and use a bucket of paint to create a huge blot over all the dots; Thinking outside The Box. Question the dots and why they need to be connected in the first place; Thinking outside The Box. Erase the dots; they are a distraction to Thinking outside The Box. Create your own dots and lines in any fashion you desire; Thinking outside The Box. People that say, it's a misguided idea,, do not know how to think outside the box, I can look /listen/ at anything an tell you how to fix it. I play chess with my pc, an beat it all the time, and the reasoning is I do not think logically, like the pc does. It has a set of rules that it was programed with an you were in college, I do not play by the rules, I can play without the queen.Also when you go the a school that teaches how to think about something, that is all you know how to do.I have had engineers come to my deck, hand me a set of blueprints, because that was the way they were taught.

They are never taught to look at it, in there mind to see it working. What I do is show them how wrong they are, an ask them what tool in the world can cut a square hole inside the middle of two long tubes. They can not think outside the box, that they were taught to do.

If was going to tell you about an airplane the TR-3B, it travels a little bit under light speed, an it uses nuclear fusion, which turns into plasma an powers the craft, that was built outside the box. An if you do not believe me type it into your search engine, you can also look it up at the library of congress under new patients.

You my brother, do not have the inkling of understanding to think outside the box. That's why you are a psychologist an nothing more.
