I highly recommend the movie Camille (1936)

This is a Hay’s code film, so it is not technically explicit, but it is teeming with erotic energy and strong chemistry. It has themes of devotion, worship, obedience, degradation, and cuckholdry. Robert Taylor is absolutely stunning as Armand; he is sublimely sensual, devoted, and passionate. He begs, pleads, cries, and waits on her with unwavering loyalty. The eye contact throughout the movie is sensational, and Greta Garbo’s costumes are extraordinary. Truly a movie for the female gaze.

The movie is based on the book ‘Lady of the Camellias’ by Alexandre Dumas Fils, published in 1848. In the book, Marguerite Gautier explicitly tells him he must be ‘confiding, submissive, and discreet.’ He responds, ‘Marguerite, do with me as you will; I am your slave, your dog!’

Although the movie doesn’t have quite as explicit language, she does refer to him as a ‘little dog’ in a very charming scene (pictured in the first photo above).

Anyways, I hope you all consider the watch. You won’t be disappointed, it is truly a movie unlike any other. I’m always looking for similar book/movie recs as well, and would love suggestions!

Being a domme and sapiosexual

I hate to use the word ‘sapiosexual’, but we all know what we mean. I’m a woman who loves classic literature, psychological theory, history, and fine art. I struggle dating men who don’t like to read because I find I have nothing to talk to them about. This alone makes dating difficult, as we live in a largely illiterate society. But having BOTH of these preferences, both intellectual and sexual, makes dating nearly impossible. I’ve been blessed with an amazing relationship that satisfied both needs in the past, but it’s been nearly two years and I haven’t had any luck since.

Does anyone have any tips or can relate?

How do you navigate dating when you have fairly specific sexual preferences?

I (26F) prefer to be domme. Either in a very soft and ‘vanilla’ way, in which the man is a little more passive and I take the lead, or in a kinky way where I am including acts of degradation/humiliation into sex. If it’s not that, it absolutely must be gentle and sensual. What I cannot STAND is the very common norm of men ‘man-handling’ me, spitting/choking/spanking without consent, or even just controlling where I have my body.

I’ve tried vaguely speaking my preferences ahead of time (ie ‘not too rough, be gentle’) and men don’t seem to have a good idea of what that means. I don’t want to outrightly say ‘you need to be taking the backseat’ but I might have to at this point.

Does anyone have advice on how to be more forthcoming with my preferences without being completely off-putting?
