Throwback Thursday: International Fetish Day Edition Featuring PinkLabel.tv

Indulge your favorite fetish, or maybe pick up some new ones!

Greetings, my good pervs! Tomorrow, January 19th is International Fetish Day! This observance was created in the UK as National Fetish Day in 2008, becoming international in 2009, and falls on the third Friday of January each year. It was created in opposition to the UK’s law criminalizing possession of “extreme pornography” enacted in 2008, but has also evolved as celebration of sexual freedom across the board in the BDSM community. January’s always a good time to get kinky in my opinion-- what else are you going to do inside to stay warm?

I’ve picked a few films to spotlight from our friends at PinkLabel.tv, purveyors of all kinds of fun porn to tickle lots of different kinks and fetishes. What’s the difference, you ask? Well, according to one article, a fetish is somewhat of a fixation, as in, if that particular thing is not present, the person cannot be sexually satisfied. A kink is more of a fun addition to sex, like, something that makes things more interesting than your typical tab-A-into-slot-B, but it doesn’t always have to be present for one to get off. A lot of people use the terms interchangeably.

Inside Out (2023) is a short film from Germany starring Empress Wu and her sub Manon Praline. This ain’t the Pixar movie! It explores rough body play, waterboarding, and bloodless needle play. Our Empress warms a lingerie-clad Manon u with spankings and punches, nicely blushing her ass in the steamy bathroom before the two hop into the tub together amongst the floating rose petals and Wu gives her girl a nice exfoliating scrub with a side of waterboarding and smacks. The tender with the rough is a great way to frame a scene. Manon sits on the side of the tub as we watch Empress Wu insert the capped needles through her skin and also finger her pussy, again, expertly blending pleasure and pain. Manon’s head is covered for some of this, bringing a little breathplay in as her Empress Wu expertly fingers her to orgasm to end the short film.

Silken Sleeves (2006) stars the queen of rope bondage Midori and her bottom Mayan and the film is directed by Maria Beatty. This is an artistic odyssey through the four seasons with rope art and play. Beginning with autumn, both women are in kimonos at the beginning and Midori undoes the obi at the back of Mayan’s and puts Mayan in ropes over the kimono and keeps tying until there’s a lot more flesh than the kimono exposed as Mayan goes deeper into a submissive space. Seeing the utter surrender and trust on her face is gorgeous. Midori adds a bamboo pole to the mix to act as a support for the ties so she can be even more creative in these floor-based ties. She also teases her girl with her bare feet and a cane. In winter, Midori switches to a fierce white lace see-through gown and suspends a naked and tied Maya, and then wraps her in plastic wrap. I mean, it works to insulate your windows, so why not keep your sub warm, too? She then ladles on some hot wax which is definitely a nice way to warm up, but the temperature contrast when Midori throws snow on her is evident, and then, well, 3 words. Surprise ice dildo! Things heat up with spring fever as the suspension is undone, wax removed, and Mayan is nestled up to Midori being fucked with some sort of metal implement. Cycling into summer, Mayan is suspended in a swing-like tie with billowing sleeves to receive flogging and be fucked with the steel insertable flogger handle. Don’t miss this gorgeous performance!

Breathtaking (2016) documents Morgana Muses' first on-screen sexual experience with a woman (Caritia) and also her first experience with breathplay, an often misunderstood kink. Like any other kink, communication, negotiation, and consent are key. They start slow and gentle with just a couple of seconds of nose pinch and mouth cover before Caritia strips Morgana down and lovingly shares the wonders of this particular kink, making it a sensual and exploratory experience as it should be. Kissing with concurrent nose pinch is a favorite breath play thing of mine and Caritia also commands her to hold her breath to maximize the eroticism of playing with breath. Caritia works to build intensity and a power dynamic in the scene while at the same time keeping the safety of her bottom as her first priority. Caritia uses her pussy as the breath play implement next by straddling Morgana’s face and then they explore breath play in the bathtub to end the scene, which brings a whole new bunch of sensual delights.

Sweet Sweet Kink: A Collection of BDSM Stories (2019) is from filmmaker Maggie Bailey and it’s animated and features no sex or nudity. What it does feature is an animated exploration of the psychology of kink and why kinksters and fetishists do what they do, what sort of things this helps us with in our lives and what the cathartic experiences as a top or bottom contribute to our psychological well-being. She opens with a story of her and her girlfriend trying choking on a moving bus. She enjoyed the power she felt, and her girlfriend enjoyed giving up control in that moment. A man called Bill talks next about his experiences as an asexual submissive with a dominant woman who, after building their relationship, decided to collar him and both of them talk about what the collar means to them. Several other folks share about their BDSM dynamics as well. If you’ve ever wanted to know the why behind all the whips and chains, this is an interesting watch, for sure.

If you liked those and want to explore more fetish and BDSM porn, PinkLabel.tv has got you covered with their Viewer’s Guide to all things BDSM. There’s also tons more indie, instructional, and queer porn to be explored on their site so head on over!
