Conservative masculinity vs liberal femininity - Can a man really have a choice?

 I have been thinking through one of the most difficult questions regarding men in a modern world. This question is about commonly accepted features of men and the situation of those men who doesn't go with those features. I'm talking about conservative masculinity versus liberal femininity. We haven't got far from the life where men had to be tough by all means. They had to do the hard work. They had to carry their burden and maybe even their families burdens too. They had to defend their land and rights. They had to hunt. They had to be powerful. But times have changed. We live in a liberal democratic western culture where the principle is that every individual should be allowed to be themselves, express themselves as they wish and have a right to make decision regarding their gender and other things regarding their identity. We have gone far towards the better and happier world. But there is still much to do. One really important thing is to cherish the decided goals...

UK Fetish Awards takes a brave step towards equal fetish fashion world

 I recently got to know that UK Fetish Awards is taking place in 16.11.2022. I haven't been very aware of events abroad as I'm living in Finland which is quite well located far away from all the big fetish events. Yeah, I know. You don't even know where Finland is... Nevertheless, I'd love to see these big events around the world. It would be easier to live fetish fashion lifestyle more often and with other like-minded friends then. But maybe I'll have chances to visit these events in the future! But let's get to the main topic. I was going through the information about the event and I noticed there are also few male candidates among all the female models. This really stunned me as I have always been criticizing fetish fashion world about unequality regarding modeling and showing almost only content about female models. This is my thanks to UK Fetish Awards for accepting all genders among models! I'm not even gay, but I'd still love to see more male mode...

Review: Rubberdoll catsuit with cups for breast implants / Simon O. Latex

 Men dressing up as female rubberdolls has always been a bizarre thing inside a bizarre world. By this I mean that even if someone tries to understand a fetishist dressing up in latex outfits it may be really hard to give understanding to a man who wishes to dress up not only in latex but to transform into feminine rubberdoll creature. But after all it isn't as big deal as many people think. In this picture the catsuit is seen from the upper part without corset or additions. The seams of breast pouch designs can be seen quite well. In the picture there are implants in the pouches so there are no fillings in the catsuit itself - Implants must be bought separately from somewhere. For me it was a huge mental step to order my first rubberdoll styled catsuit as I have suffered a lot because of my fetishism in my life. But finally I ended up with a thought that if someone wishes to transform and create a look, would it be feminine or masculine or even animals, and it won't hurt anyon...

Is feminine man accepted and explained only if he is a homosexual or a drag queen?

While we are making a world in the modern western culture where we all should be able to be ourselves, express ourselves as we wish and gain happiness through it I still see very much of things which crumble this picture of a free world and happiness of everyone. One thing that is long way from finising is accepting diversity. One specific thing is feminine men. In my opinion feminine men are more sensitive, delicate, empathic, social, talkative and reacting than the role models of men from the history. They may also overreact easier and be more dramatic. They may show more emotions and cry sometimes. They may wish more attention regarding themselves. Feminine men may take more care about their looks than masculine men. These and other possible feminine attributes may be just small factors but they can also be very dominant. While men can have some amount of feminine attributes which are regarded normal and unnoticed some of feminine features, in some amount and at certain men, may ...

Libidex has raised equality on their commercials

 During past months I have noticed that Libidex has brought much more equality to their latex fashion commercials. Nowadays Libidex show more mens latex fashion on their newsletters and has brought male products and male models on side of their womens fashion on their website. Two examples of Libidex's great work bringing equality to latex fashion marketing.      (Source: Pictures taken as screenshots from Libidex's website). This direction is more than welcome. Bringing men on latex fashion images beside women creates not only equality but also acceptance that men are allowed to wear something fabulous too. I find it great that men can also enjoy latex fashion and feel confident and comfortable about it. I find it great that men are allowed to get attention too and can have their moment on latex fashion photography. Maybe men are allowed to get some positive attention too some day like women regarding their diverse fashion and styles. These kind of works are the key...

Books: Korsetti (Annamari Marttinen)

Few months ago I read a book named "Korsetti" by Annamari Marttinen (in english "Corset)". It's a book telling a fictional, but very credible, story about a man who grows with a strong need to be a transvestite. Now that I saw an article about this book in a newspaper I remembered it again. It would be a shame not to write about the book to here too! The book starts telling the story about a young man who gets into situation where he tries on some female clothing. This situation isn't very private or deep as the character experiences it with his girlfriend. The situation is more of a joke than something serious. The girlfriend keeps the whole situation laughable but at the same time the main character starts to feel something different. Something more deep and serious. Actually if we think about it, throughout the history it has been kept very much as a joke if a man dresses into clothes which are made for the women in the first place. Still we can see t...

News and media stigmatize kinky people too often - Where are the appropriate and understanding views?

This blog article deals mostly with finnish culture and situation of finnish media and reporting regarding kinky subjects. But even if we talk about Finland only or the whole world I find reporting about kinky subjects mostly same. They are juicy topics for laughing or horror. But we lack appropriate reporting about kinky people, fetishism and BDSM. Let's start with cold facts While media mostly report kinky things in a negative way or related to negative contexts the readers of papers, followers of media and all of the "vanilla" citizens create their images regarding all the people who are related to any kinky things. There is a risk that all kinky individuals are kept similar and mostly in a negative way. I can't accept that. This is why I try to do my part by telling things from my point of view. From my point of view "kinky" as a subject is still kept too much as a taboo. While it is a taboo it is a delicious subject for only those who desire s...
