For September 23, our review of the Arabian Nights movie for Dad is now available on Bondagerotica. Marie Blanchard bound and gagged, Sally Forrest chained and exotic dancers all over the place!

Haul out the pig-stickers and togas, guys, sword and sandal movies are in development all over the place. I have some much-needed advice about how slavegirls should look and act.

For September 8, up and coming star Carrie Genzel stars in Caged Hearts, a topnotch women in prison movie that includes a nude catfight/lesbian rape scene for Ms. Genzel.

Firsts In Bondage Revised

Time Served Reviewed

For July 13, Catherine Oxenberg covers up a murder committed by her son and winds up in a prison where she's forced to dance sexily for men. It starts off like a Lifetime women in prison flick and winds up a stripperific exploitation flick, featuring Catherine Oxenberg naked as well as some very talented strippers.

Chained Heat Reviewed

For July 6, we present a review of Chained Heat, the progenitor of the modern women in prison flick, which features a luscious Linda Blair being lesbianically dommed by a smokin' hot Sybil Danning. What's not to like?

Under Lock and Key

For July 2, we review what is perhaps the nakedest women in prison film ever because it introduces the wonderful concept of in-cell nudity! Probably got it from the white slavery films. Good move.

Prison World Review and Tour

For June 24, read my explanantion of why commercial bondage videos, which OUGHT to be my favorite genre of women in prison themed video storiesare not. My review of the commercial bondage video Prison World is a perfect explanation of why not.

I Put Up So I Don't Have To Shut Up

Also for June 24, read my women in prison themed short story "Doin' Time In the Blue Shadows" and tell me if I can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

Bad Girls and Cherry Hill: A Thrill And A Pill

For June 20, an update of the Women In Prison Dramas Index page, adding a link to an article about a prospective women in prison TV series that didn't make the cut, and about reruns of a very successful British women in prison series now available to those with liberal digital cable.

Chained Heat 3000 and Women in Prison Dramas

For June 16, when we heard that Robert Rodriguez was doing a Chicks in Chains series and that HBO was doing a women in prison flick, we knew we had to update our review of Chained Heat 3000, one of the if not the best women in prison movies ever made, an article on how to make the perfect women in prison movie, and an article on the reality of women in prison. More stuff will be coming down the road, because Rodriguez and HBO both are gonna need help, judging by what's out there in the mainstream on this theme.

Tales of Lost Bikini Island

For June 9, we launch a web comic. Because it's fun, that's why. In our first episode, Candy Michaels, wrassler and bondage model, is welcomed to the island by Wonder Babe and her bitch Dorothy.

Return of the Loosie Awards

For June 1, the Loosie Awards in their entirety returns to Bondagerotica. And this time it's personal! The Bad Bondage Hall of Shame is back in business. Here are 30 reviews snarking on really bad bondage scenes in mainstream TV and movies. Enjoy!

Did Helen Mirren Appear in the Roughie Western Hot Spur?

For May 27, we think we have photographic evidence that she did. But then, we also think that robots are stealing our luggage. But this is probably more than the harebrained malarkey it looks like ... well, we'd like to think that.

Savage Sword of Conan

For May 14, we have a lengthy meditation on the character of Conan the Cimmerian. Conan is not into bondage, not by a long shot, but the world he lives in is ... VERY into bondage. And the incredibly well made Savage Sword of Conan series, newly issued in trade paperback by Dark Horse, makes it very clear.

Nurse Me

For Cinco de Mayo we have "Nurse Me," a hentai which attempts to be a humorous story about a nurse in training whom EVERYONE wants to rape. Male, female, young, old, they all press their unwanted sexual advances on her virginal self. It's billed as a comedy, but it's not funny, which is ... a bit of a problem. We also look at "Candy" a film which does the same thing more successfully ... but not all that successfully, and "Defiance of Good and Evil" a harecore porn film from the 70s which has a more realistic rape scene than either of these films ... which really kills your average boner.

Why Is There No Naked or Half-Naked Women Dancing Channel On TV?

For May 1, we seek an answer to this perplexing question.

First Panty Gag on TV

In our continuing coverage of firsts in bondage in mainstream media, for April 21 we've updated our story on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit's achievement as having the first panty gag on mainstream TV. Not only that, the first nude panty gag. Now, that's dedication! We've added caps from Jaded, The Hitcher (a commercial bondage video) and a recent episode of My Name Is Earl. Because we care.

A Little Bit O' Monica

For April 15, a 27,000 word short story. OK, that's more like a novella. It's about a young woman who figures out that cosplay can be an excuse to spend four days naked and crawling all over cute boys. Her costume ... Slavegirl Belinda, who makes Slave Leia look overdressed! It's all part of a proposed webcomic called "Slavegirl Belinda. If you are a webcomic artist, or know a promising artist who'd like to do webcomics, this could be your big chance. Or their big chance. Or SOMEBODY's big chance. Check it out, in any event.

For April 9, we have an article entitled "Pony Soldier, Funny Games and Pimpin' Da Bondage" in which we discover that Penny Edwards wore a REALLY tight bitgag in the 1952 film "Pony Soldier," leading us to some ruminations about whether or not modern actresses are "pimpin' da bondage" when promoting their movies. The article is late because we did a TON of research for it ... much of it, to no avail.

For March 29th, we have a review of the Skinamax flick Testing the Limits in which we introduce the concepts of the Reluctant Sensitive Guy and Lurking Heavy Plot. On the bright side, Lorissa McComas gets bound and gagged and naked, though not all at once.

For March 23rd, we ask a question: Does the Skinamax classic called "Over the Wire" contain the raunchiest bondage scene in mainstream films? YOU decide! (Featuring a page of gratuitous package display "for the ladies.")

For March 16th, we have a report on a great gag scene from The Flash Gordon TV series on the SciFi Channel, which is best known for not doing ANYTHING well. So, how did THIS scene happen?

Why so long between updates? Well, our staff has been sick. Two weeks in the hospital eating hospital food, which is so bad it can destroy the will to live, and then another two weeks to stop being weak as a kitten. A pain in the ass, but we're all better now, we promise.

For Fegruary 2, Wonder Woman Appears Nude on Playboy -- Millions Riot! Tiffany Fallon appears sorta/kinda nude on the cover of the February 2008 issue of Playboy in a painted-on Wonder Woman suit and the anti-sex feminists go through the roof!

For January 17, I've done a minor update to my "Saving Grace" article based on some thoughts I've had about how they got away with such a raunchy bondage scene and why it didn't get noticed more.

For January 13, 2008, we present "Women's Murder Club," a TV series aimed at the crazy cat lady demographic presents the first breather gag seen on network TV. Way to go, crazy cat ladies!

For January 6, 2008, we present "Slave Leia's Secret." Why are women showing by the dozens at science fiction cons dressed as Slave Leia? Why is Slave Leia showing up in the media 30 years after the film which made her famous first appeared? I know. Now you will, too. Also, you'll get to see some major nakedness.

Psychologist Warning: At the request of the American Psychological Advancement Association, we are required to warn you that if you do not have a "thing" for Slave Leia now, you will if you read this article.

For Demember 28 we present, "Movies and TV Shows That SHOULDA Been Made." After all what if karma really worked? With so many missed opportunities and so much bad bondage, there are several movies and TV shows that WOULD exist, if only ...

For December 27 we offer a review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Dead Things" episode, which had a beautiful shot to develop some real drama, or humor, and definitely some DiD action. Came right up to the gate ... and balked. We explain why and how.

For December 26, over on our blog, we offer a leftover from our Wonder Woman article, an image of Ka'a'nga the Jungle King rescuing a beautiful, half-naked damsel from distress from a 1944 cover. A very disquieting image. One more chance to snark on old comic covers. Life is good.

For December 24, over on our blog, we bust the films "Busty Models" and "Busty Neighbors" for not being very ... busty. We have an image of Glorianne Gilbert, who we feel can do an EXCELLENT job of illustrating what "busty' is all about.

For December 17 we present the Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yaks, in which John Willie's Sweet Gwendoline hit the big screen in the guise of hottie Tawny Kitaen at her hottest, and the bondage was plentiful and good. But the writingand acting were ... not. Also, an update to the article on Tina Louise's bitgag scene on Bonanza. We added just a bit more snark and a comments link.

For December 10, we present a review from Jollyroper days, "Dangerous Attraction," an erotic thriller that had a nice duct tape bondage scene -- but it promised, oh, so much more!

For December 6, we present a Golden Oldie review from Jollyroper days, "Roman Scandals of 1934," a black and white epic that features a nudie bondage layer cake in ancient Rome. We are not making this up!

For December 1, we've updated the blog to allow comments on our article about all the talk show bondage that took place this August.

For November 27, a new entry in our blog, "Dominance By Other Means."

For November 26, we have Saving Grace's envelope-ripping bondage scene: Holly Hunter. Nude. Bound. Fucked. On a non-premium cable TV series. Ain't life grand? Check it out.

We're also instituting the ability to comment on our articles via our new blog, "Politically Sexy." Set up for "Saving Grace" and "Wonder Woman" to date, will likely be retrofitted to other articles.

For November 20, we tripled the number of examples of Wonder Woman's bondage competitors in last month's Wonder Woman article because, well, it's fun snarking on those old comics. Click here to go to the index for the section, or click here to go right to the first new example.

For October 21, we reveal that Wonder Woman is, of course, into bondage. But that's the extent of the "secrets" most sites reveal. In this in-depth article that's bigger than a lot of websites, we dig deeper. A LOT deeper. Includes illustrated history of Wonder Woman bondage, a look at Wonder Woman's bondage competitors, and a script for a Wonder Woman/Batman crossover set on Transformation Island, Wonder Woman's lesbian bondage reform school for wayward women. Which actually existed, back in the 1940s.

For September 5, we have an article about the fact that hentai have finally begun to work their slimy tentacles into American mainstream media (and about time, we say!) as the ecchi "Eiken" invades the Encore Aciton cable channel.

For August 19, we mustannounce that talk shows are breaking out in an unprecedented wave of bound and gagged scenes, including a nude bondage scene for Chelsea Handler! What the heck is going on around here?

For August 6, we have a new essay about Tina Aumont's first-ever shibari bondage scene in a US mainstream movie in Lifespan, but it's not porn, it's SCIENCE dammit. Science! (Cue Thomas Dolby.) Tina Aumont will blind you with science alrighty.

For June 25, we have two new essays: a piece about the first ever joyrope in a mainstream movie, and a piece about the first ever bitgag in U.S. network TV. We also comment on the strangely lengthy gap before such bondage techniques showed up again in mainstream media.l

For May 13, I've got 23, count 'em, 23 new essays. I've been ill for awhile (bad cold, nothing more) but I've not been idle. Follow this link to a trove of 23 new essays that are slightly more bondage-oriented than the essays on the main index. Illustrated? But of course!

For April 22, we present "Bondage By Genre," an essay on the way bondage manifests in the various genre of film and television shows. Perhaps this essay makes no sense. Perhaps it is not needed in any sense of the word. But it's a great excuse to view and think about images of women in bondage, so really, it's its own excuse.

Also, a correction to the page on Birds of Prey bondage in the "Smallville Dental Gag" article. (Thanks and a tip of the hat to loyal reader J. Feenster of South Cromulence, Ohio.)

For April 2, the creators of Terminal Virus, a Roger Corman sci-fi schlockfest, came up with what is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant sexual bondage scenarios I have ever encountered anywhere. Then ... they TOTALLY blew it.

For March 15, two updates. First of all "Smallville" becomes the second network TV show to use a dental gag. Strangely, there' was nothing about this landmark event in the show's promos. Except of course for the clips. Also also vik an essay on the comic book bondage images that are predecessors to the "Smallville" scene.

Second of all, a minor update. Well, not that minor in a sense. When I was watching "Special Unit 2" in its first run, I just taped it so I could do a little time shifting. So I used the long-playing setting on the recording. As a result, when I discovered that the "Beast" episode of Special Unit 2 featured the hottest bit of thong-stretching to air on TV, I was only able to get a crappy vidcap of it. SciFi Channel finally picked up the show and aired the "Beast" episode last week, and I recorded in the higher-quality, shorter-playing speed. The result, an immense improvement in the quality of the cap I was able to get, revealing the true raunchiness of this image much better than the grainy, jagged, color-banded image I had before. Check it out.

For March 4, 2007, we present "How Not To Use A Sexy Robot Babe" which draws compairsons between "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie" and an episode of a defunct Skinamax TV series called "Thrills."

For March 2, 2007, we present an essay entitled "Why is Kyle McLachlan Auctioning the Spice Girls' Mothers As Slavegirls?" about photographic evidence that proves conclusively that a mysterious record industry mogul engaged in a conspiracy to ... well, read the essay. It takes a lot of explaining.

For February 25, we present a review of "Barbarian Queen" a movie that, while generous in its bondage imagery , had some characterization issues -- for example, the Barbarian Queen's little sister is by far the most interesting character in the film.

A minor edit on February 21, adding a link to the Buck Rogers review so readers can see a real slavegirl serving food instead of a waitress described as a slavegirl.

New for February 19, 2007, is an essay on the nature of nakedness and nudity. A pictorial essay. There is much to see, much to read, much to reason over as we present the results of many hours of looking at pics of scantily clad women. We 're just that kinda thorough.

New for February 6, 2007, is an essay on the return of Special Unit 2, a fun science fiction series from the former UPN network that was cancelled in 2002. The Sci-Fi Channel will be rerunning it. In addition to the science fiction fun, the series pushed the envelope on prime-time stripper thong scenes. No, really, we have proof.

New for February 4, 2007 is a review of Passion Network, a gloriously, needlessly complicated Skinamax story of unneccesarily secretive sex clubs and the people who behave in an extremely silly manner in them. Also, we have our piece on Remember the Butt on Valentines' Day up at the top, because you know, it's about that time ...

New for January 28, 2007 is a review of Exit To Eden, in which we try to figure out how another mainstream work with a bondage and dominance theme wound up with so very little sexual bondage imagery in it.

January 15, 2007

New for January 15, 2007 is a review of Demonlover, a French film about corporate espionage in a corporation where the penalties for a blown cover are very, very strict indeed.

January 2007

New for January 2007 is a review of Warrior Queen a 1987 sex and swordplay movie. Understanding Warrior Queen explains -- but does not excuse -- what happened to the Gor movies.

December 2006

New for December 2006 is the conversion of all three current Pat Powers titles into ebooks. This means they can be read, not just on a PC, but on most handheld PDAs, including such popular devices as Palmpilots, blackberries, Smartphones and Sybians.

You can now pay for our titles via credit card and can buy them from a variety of mostly legitimate e-book publishers.

Here's a link to all three e-books.

There's also something new, a press release. We're going to try something new with our e-books in 2007 -- after writing them, we'll actually market them. Our press released will be a big part of that effort. And unlike a lot of other press releases, ours will be worth reading.

Here's a link to find out why these press releases are actually worth reading. And to the press release in question.
