"I would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on abstraction! "

oh boy where do i even start. it's like this

this is all my own theory, nothing i've read up or studied from anyone else. so for all i know there's already a coherent theory on this stuff and i'm reinventing it. but the way i see it, as it pertains to erotic fiction, the levels of abstraction are as follows:

    you. literally, You. the girl reading this. you walked into the bdsm room in real life and asked to be strapped to the wall and spanked like a bad girl. you are engaging in kink. you are not literally a bad girl.
    the kayfabe version of yourself that inhabits the scene. she walked into the bdsm room and did not ask to be strapped to the wall and spanked like a bad girl. she is not engaging in kink. she was a bad girl.
    the character in the scene you're imagining. she was dragged into the dungeon and did not ask to be strapped to the wall and spanked. she is not engaging in kink. she is being punished, and may or may not have been a bad girl depending on how you play the scene.
    a fictional character you're reading about who walked into a bdsm room and asked to be strapped to the wall and spanked like a bad girl. she is* engaging in kink. unless the author tells us so, she is not literally a bad girl.
    the kayfabe version of the character in the fiction who inhabits the scene. she is not engaging in kink. the non-kink character is engaging in kink. again whether she is a bad girl depends upon the author's decision.
    the character the character in the fiction is imagining, who was dragged into the dungeon and did not ask to be strapped to the wall. she is not engaging in kink. you get the point.

*for whatever amount of 'is' you can apply to something fictional.

you can rearrange the levels, but as you can see it gets recursive once you get past the first three. to lay it out with a clear example, the final level of abstraction is a fictional work about a fictional couple who are themselves imagining they're in a fictional dungeon. or worse, a fictional couple reading about another fictional couple. and this is just talking about abstraction between You and an Idea. it gets even more complicated when you get into ideas of consent and images, which is its own post really.

when it comes to abstraction, my work is in that third level of abstraction. fiction about people Literally in the situation around which a kink is centered, who are not actively engaging in kink. vester is not engaging in a spanking fetish. chique is not engaging in an exhibitionism fetish. they're just doing things that, to us, represent kink, but are not literal depictions. 

so that's why vester isn't allowed to enjoy being spanked. it puts him that little bit further away from You.

There’s a lot of new faces in this pack! Consider checking it out again if you discovered early on 🫢

My goal is to maintain a good mix of established artists who have a real cultural presence in the original nsfw art world + new faces that deserve some recognition and attention for their work

lave is masturbating in his room. he thinks: "fuck! i can't finish! and it's almost time for evening sermon!"
he imagines showing up to sermon with a hard on, the nuns laughing at him. one says "oh, lave, is the snake making an appearance this evening?" the other nun says "gather round, sisters! give thanks for your god!" lave thinks "harpies! all of them, harpies!" he then imagines the nuns coming to his room to get him. one nun says "lave, it's time for - omg! is that your penis? it's so weird looking!" the other says "i'm telling the priestess!" lave thinks "fuck, no, no, this isn't helping!"

lave imagines mona opening his door instead. she says "lave, it's time for -- oh!" lave thinks "she'd knock, but, what if she's in a hurry, and...?" imaginary mona lifts up her robes, and says "you can't go to sermon looking like that. don't worry, i-i can help you..." but lave thinks "wait. shit. what does a vagina look like?" he moves on to a different fantasy, of mona removing her veil, but his fantasy is interrupted by an old, unpleasant memory. he thinks "okay, let's start somewhere else. but i haven't seen her without her veil since...shit, no, don't think of it. she mentioned cutting her hair recently. i wonder how short it is. it's wavy, isn't it?"

lave tries to imagine what mona looks like naked. "she wears heavier robes than the other girls. is she cold all the time? maybe she's really thing? but she eats a lot, and it seems like her hips are pretty wide, so maybe she's kind of soft. i wonder what her boobs look like."
lave thinks about mona's hands. "i guess i only really know her by her hands. so delicate and dainty. she doesn't do many chores, so her skin is still smooth. she keeps her nails clipped just over the lip of her fingers. she doesn't touch me much, but her hands are usually so cold."

he comes abruptly all over his chest and belly. he's left stunned and embarrassed at himself while a nun knocks incessantly at his door. she shouts "lave! it's time for evening sermon!"

What is a Scene in BDSM?

In BDSM, a "scene" refers to a specific period of time where participants engage in consensual kinky activities. This can range from bondage and discipline to dominance and submission, and even sadism and masochism. A scene typically has a defined beginning and end, with clear boundaries and negotiated activities.

Creating a Scene for Beginners

What is a scene and, as a dominant, how do I create one?

The term 'scene' refers to a planned BDSM encounter or activity which may or may not include sexual activities. You may also hear it referred to as a "play session". Many scenes are unplanned and the dominant and submissive find their way through it by knowing each other's kinks, limits, and play style. They can be casual, comfortable, and maybe informal.

Alternatively, you might want to plan a formal scripted scene for a special occasion, maybe you're getting started so you prefer to prepare beforehand, or perhaps you just prefer some structure.

When planning as a beginner, I would recommend you treat BDSM scenes like a 3-act play:

    Act 1 - Engage the audience (foreplay... arousal... anticipation)

    Act 2 - Conflict (Your prime activity)

    Act 3 - Climax, Resolution (Release... if sex is happening and you want it to be the climax, it goes here)

    Denouement - The tying up of loose ends (Cleanup, Aftercare)

If you want to drive a scene but feel uncertain about how to create one, leverage this 3-act structure.
Use foreplay to build arousal, pick one kinky thing to do, and then finish with something you both enjoy (like kinky sex as one possible example). As you build experience, you can leave this 3-act concept behind and branch out to find your own style.

Here is an example of a scene written for my submissive:

    Act 1 - Submissive's hands are bound and blindfolded. The sub is slowly stripped. The sub's skin is touched lightly to achieve an arousal state. Lots of slow teasing. (etc etc)

    Act 2 - The submissive is bound. The dominant edges the submissive until the submissive begs for release

    Act 3 - Kinky sex happens

    Aftercare

When i see ppl struggling to understand that the only consent that matters in kinky erotica is between you and your decision to look at it or not, i want to direct them to the definition of a scene in a BDSM context.

Think of erotica as a play scene an artist has created and is sharing.
