Corsets

Basque, teddy or a corset?

Cinch that waist!

The corset has been around since at least the sixteenth century, and in that time it's changed a great deal. While once whale bones were all the rage, these days the best corset makers use sprung steel, which is both more effective and less dangerous! Most people don't find corsets suitable for everyday wear, but on special occasions, they can both look and feel fantastic. Bondage fans enjoy the sense of restriction, and plenty of people think they look fabulous as well. These days corsets are a common part of kink wear and fetish clothing as well as of the goth style, and used responsibly they're a fantastic way of jazzing up your outfit a bit.

What is a corset?  

An item of shape-wear created to cinch in the waist. Corsets have been popular for centuries and have been used to emphasise the bust and bottom by giving an hourglass shape.

How do you use a corset for waist training?

Waist training simply involves wearing a corset (it needs to be made-to-measure for this to work) for a certain amount of time each day, every day to make it so the person can wear smaller and smaller ones. It is a long process and will only decrease the waist size by a few inches at most. It’s only a semi-permanent effect as if you stop waist training, the waist will return to its normal size.

What is tight lacing?

Tight lacing is exactly what it sounds like, it’s wearing a corset really tightly. This can take 4 inches off your waist or up to a 20% reduction of overall waist size.

How long is it safe to keep a corset on?

Corsets are safe to wear for long periods of time, but they can do permanent damage if you wear them tightly laced over many days and months. It is advised not to wear a tightly laced corset when you’re eating a meal as your stomach will expand and will be really uncomfortable. Corset wearing can affect lung capacity too, so loosen your corset when you do any strenuous exercise!

    Bicester-based dom with a penchant for affectionate molestation, deviant displays and emotional and psychological sadism.

    A van-lifer and jaded kinkster, I'm typically apathetic until I find someone to love. Simply, I seek someone to bestow affection, attention and arousal on.

    I'm looking for a relaxed life - someone to pet and punish, as well as play boardgames and go exploring and traveling with. To shape and teach and sculpt into the culmination of our ideals.

    I enjoy innocence tainted and erotic irony. Sobs and screams muffled around your underwear balled into your mouth or my cock spreading your throat as you try to stroke me to orgasm with your hands at your neck to earn yourself some air; I love to make people choose debasement for their own satisfaction or as an ironic path to release, whether orgasm or more generically physical. If not choking yourself to be able to breathe then your squirming, shuffling feet, sobbing and mewling as you're trapped being edged by a vibrator just barely touching you, leading to you begging to be spanked or face-fucked so it goes that extra inch.

    I'd love a giggly girly princess to pretty and pervert, a fun, dumb girl to treat and traumatise. Whether you're already one or I have to break and remake you into a pleasuring plaything. I want someone I can buy beautiful things for and dress up trashy, then have fawn and coo for me and tease and titillate me into beating them for being so wanton. Someone to sculpt into pure tainted innocence, a cocktease who exudes arousal in everything they do, but seems totally unaware. I'll want you to do and dress as you're told, to be pierced and changed and transitioned into the perfection of corruption.

    Mascara trails as your mouth is wrapped around my cock are a special enjoyment, and having your tear-streaked face looking up at me as I tell you the next stage of your life will make me throb against your lips.

    I more emphatically also seek emotional connections, expecting you to come rest your head in my lap or pull my arms around you. To have you colouring in pornography at your desk as I write, to be servicing me as I read, or pulling at my hand as we go out on day trips and weekends away. I will want to talk and get to know every inch of you, inside and out, corporeal and metaphysical. Your emotions and mental health are things I take very seriously and seek to safeguard, despite abusing them in our agreed upon ways for your arousal.

    I particularly seek someone to dress and display: high heels, basques and corsets, flared skirts, leotards, swimwear and French knickers and thongs rising above waistbands all engage. Bare-handed punishment is a particular preference of mine, your flailing legs in stockings or high socks kicking from beneath a short skirt, glowing cheeks framed by suspender straps and lace stocking tops. PPE is also a core kink, particularly mental conditioning and training, (transformation into something sexual, whether doll, beast or bimbo, is another major enjoyment) so having defined rules and requirements followed should appeal - holding my hand whilst we're out, eating and exercising properly, being dressed in/appropriately as dictated.

    Compliance earns affection and pleasure. Disobedience rewards time for reflection and a more excruciating form of pleasing.

    Come be the focus of my loving attention and suffer the barbs of my endless puns.

    I am serious and expect those who message me to have serious intent as well, whether for play, power exchange or platonic pursuits.

    A lingerie fetish is so common it's almost mainstream - and who doesn't like the look of a high-quality set of stockings and suspenders? There's more to the genre than that, though; from g-strings to jock straps, there's something for everyone regardless of their sexual preferences or gender identity. Lingerie can also cross over with other, more specific sexual mores such as leather, latex or nylon. More and more fetish wear online retailers are offering hard to find sizes and styles, and the possibilities are limitless. Check out the magazine section of the website for several articles focusing on how to make gorgeous lingerie work for you - no matter who you are or what you're looking for.
    Gothic culture is primarily about fashion and music, but it crosses over with the fetish scene in a few ways. For one thing, gothic dress and fetish wear can be quite similar; many people who are a member of both subcultures wear the same outfit to events on either side, and it's not always possible to spot the difference! Another link comes from the way that social subcultures tend to work. If someone is already perceived as being a little unusual in one way - because they're a goth, because they're kinky or because they're queer, for example - they're more likely to be open to the idea of exploring other unusual hobbies and cultures. This means that your local goth club and your local munch probably have a broadly similar clientele!
    Pretty much everyone has some kind of clothing that they're turned on by, whether when worn by them or when worn by someone else. For a lot of people that clothing is a little risque: maid-style outfits, or pleated schoolgirl skirts, or stockings and suspenders. For some it's a whole other fetish in its own right, such as PVC corset and latex catsuits. Whatever your preference, there will be something out there that turns you on - so get shopping! Our magazine section has plenty of articles on how to find clothes you love, even in sizes that are sometimes difficult to track down or styles that aren't always super common.
