To cinch or not to cinch…it’s not even a question!

An ode to my love, the corset…

The very first time I cinched, squeezed and hiked my waist into the deliciously cruel, steel boned embrace of a corset is forever etched into my mind like the sweet memory of a lovers first kiss…

I can still feel the surges of heat and excitement flushing through my body as it constrictive yet delicate hands enveloped my waist. The delicious sensation of being so tightly held and restricted, controlled by your own choice, by your own hand was a paradoxically empowering experience. I knew from this moment my love affair with the corset would be one of lifelong devotion. My deep love for corsets is three fold, manifesting in three realms; the somatic, the aesthetic and the cerebral.

Somatics…

The sensations that arise at the taught hands of the corset’s laces provide a majestic platform, that allows one to access, almost immediately, an elevated space of dominant energy. The elevated chest and minimised waist create a somatic field of power and dominance quite like no other, a statuesque power curses through the veins creating an aura of intoxicating dominance before a word is even spoken. Opening a gateway to even deeper and more intense realms of exploration within the d/s landscape.

Aesthetic…

I am sure we can all agree that the finest creation on earth is the female form, the mesmerising nature of her curves and the softness of skin and flesh that transports the senses to otherwordly plains. In this vain, the corset is to the female form what Chablis is to Oysters, an elegant and powerful magnifier to something that is already truly magnificent. A multiplier of feminine form and power, creating heightened curves like pathways to pleasure and devotion. An hourglass pillar of dominance towering above her loyal subjects as they reside below, helpless to do anything but to kneel at the altar of her feet, with wholehearted devotion and submission.

Cerebral…

As we pass through the worlds of body and vision, now we come visit our final realm, the mind. Of course, the cerebral experience is deeply influenced by these previous pathways we have discussed, as the mind reacts to body and vision, but how does this manifest in the psychological? For me, the combination of the visual and the somatic, and all the elements they bring, creates a crucible of power and dominance in the mind. Creating a deeper and connection to my dominant energy, to my power as a woman, to my desire to be a devotional altar to all those who cross my (dungeon) path. To me, the corset is not a mere fashion element, yet a magical creation that transforms my world and becomes the key to the door to my kingdom of dominance.
