TheEnglishMansion - Her Chained Fuck Meat (Sidonia)

«With your military cap and the “M logo”, you look very much as a Nazi. Doesn’t this worry you?

Well my intention is to create the look of a sexy uniform that is obviously based on an iconic and a glamorous female military officer. I personally find this imagery and the fantasies it can encompass extremely erotic. I think that we should remember that we are surrounded by images of Nazism, the Second World War was a huge event in relatively recent history. Hollywood has mixed fact and fiction and none of us are unfamiliar with the character of what I call a ‘Hollywood Nazi’. Ultimate baddies often played by famous and sexy movies stars, who wear smart black uniforms, leather knee boots and black leather coats. With this deliberately titillating mix of sexy baddies, of fact and fiction, of total power over others, it is not surprising that so many BDSMers are drawn to the imagery and obviously SM subtext of Nazism. But this appeal comes from a fantasy, I am equally fascinated, like many others with characters like Darth Vader & Serverlan. I guess I’m just always drawn to the bad guys & girls.

We need to make a distinction that most BDSM revolves around fantasies, women fantasize about rape, guys want to be kidnapped and abused – but although we act them out, they are obviously not real. The idea of watching or entering into real sexual violence or non consensual acts to those of us involved in the scene would be totally abhorrent. I can’t control what turns me on and society will never be able to police what people fantasize about. I also know a lot of people share my interest with this kind of imagery and play.

Since most aspects of SM and fetishism play with images that are dark and disturbing we could probably censor everything, as its images will always be upsetting and taboo to someone somewhere. SM is never going to be politically correct because it isn’t, no matter how much we try to squeeze it into the box, it’s just not going to fit. We certainly can’t try to control this by saying a medieval torturer is an acceptable costume but a nazi uniform is not. There is a huge amount of darkness attached to the word ‘slave’. I think it becomes very dangerous once any group begins making rules as to what is or isn’t an acceptable or permissible way for consensual people to express their sexuality. That’s fascism and we should protect freedom of expression.

That is not to say that there aren’t issues relating to sensitivity and appropriateness. I recognize that swastikas, authentic insignia and certain uniforms are extremely emotive, upsetting and naturally offensive to a number of individuals. Especially as images taken for fantasy play can be used out of context especially with the advent of social media. Running a commercial website we just would therefore never use authentic uniforms or Nazi insignia anywhere as it’s not necessary; to be honest that’s not what our fetishists are interested in any way, they want a sexy, fantasy look of a powerful female officer. I’m not making judgments on any kinds of pervery but it’s important to be sensitive and considerate.»
