I find this particular illustration very revealing. Clearly a domestic scene, the wife has dressed her husband in a frock and high heels. She herself has worn only a corset. She demonstrates her own attractive qualities and demonstrates her own complete power of him by not allowing him to look manly or attractive. The pose suggest a certain ritual in that he has to display his total 'agreement' to his new status. She is more interested in showing her control than hurting him! And he is grovelling, submitting and displaying a total lack of resistance! In this picture on the other hand - we see more than ritual humiliation! Yes, the husband is dressed as a woman, and yes he is forced to adopt the humiliating pose of kneeling before her - but she is really enthusiastic about actually hitting him! This woman wants to inflict pain. I feel the feminisation is merely a device to allow her to get her way. Take it from me, feminising a man is easier than hurting a man, and yet hurting a man who is feminised is easy! It is a step-by-step process! The bondage element in this illustration tells me that the woman is not yet confident enough to hurt her partner without having him helpless before she uses her paddle. And his reaction to the blow is also revealing - he tries to avoid it! He hates pain and will probably rebel unless she gains total control at an early stage. Perhaps she has gone too fast - it may be that he would accept a spanking, but not real pain. She will now have to take extreme measures - breast enhancement, penis shrinkage, third-party discipline etc - to remain in control. An older woman's help at this stage, will probably be enough to show him she means business. Then he too has to understand just what the future holds unless he submits. This wife shows a bit more sense. She is displaying her power, (note her position!), she is hurting him, and he is kneeling and is feminised! And yet - it could all be passed off as a sex game! Slowly but surely she is backing him into a corner, trapping him into a life of acceptance and submission! He probably doesn't realise just how much ground he has lost. And it will come as a shock when she demands more - because he cannot now retrace his steps. At this point she should get her mother involved! Now this picture really tells a story! Look at how they are both dressed - see her expression and his! She is not content to make him wear skirts and heels, it is not enough he bows and bends in front of her - no - she is totally contemptuous of him. She kicks him, in the rear! This woman has no fear of rebellion - in fact he should be frightened, her contempt could turn into explosive anger. Her sadism will erupt! Judging by his resigned expression - he knows this! The next two pictures are interesting in that they introduce examples of both a third party (doubly humiliating for the victim!), and ritual preparation for the coming pain and punishment. The two females are utterly absorbed in their tasks, as he meekly and patiently await his fate! The punishment is a formal affair - it involves long and careful preparation. Added humiliation for him, extra pleasure and satisfaction for them. Bondage, contempt, feminisation, humiliation, and pain! He has to remain still, doll-like as they bind him, use him, beat him, humiliate him. He is a plaything, a part of the ritual. As a demonstration, to him, that they have total power over his body, it is awesome. He must know that they can do absolutely anything to him! Casual contempt. Total control! One kicks his thighs open! The other sits on his face! Helpless, feminised, bound and vulnerable - he can only submit, surrender and plead for mercy! This one is fascinating. She is offering him, or more likely ordering him, to wear a bra. This in itself is an interesting choice of garment. Perhaps more than anything it symbolises both a female and a subservient role for the wearer. She already has him in a frilly apron and heels so it is going to be difficult for him to logically refuse. But she is taking no chances, look at the whip, see how she stands so arrogant and so ready for battle. He knows simply by looking at her that she is more than ready and willing to hurt him. In fact it is possible that she is deliberately provoking a response! If he wears a bra he is finished; if he refuses she can and will hurt him! That whip is not for show! Spanking is very common in domestic situations. There is something childish about being spanked, or placed over someone's knee. This is deliberate. Feminisation says to the victim, 'you are not a man', spanking says more, 'you are a child, a girl! Note that he is not bound, but he doesn't enjoy the pain, his fingers claw the upholstery, he squeals. But he does not try and get up! She has dressed him in clothes that in themselves prevent him calling too loudly for help, prevent any genuine attempt at flight. She is in control, and she enjoys more that the pain she inflicts! Last but not least the cane! There is more to this illustration than meets the eye. First look at who is holding him down. Maids! Servants, possibly his own servants! This is incredibly humiliating because not only will he have to face his wife in future, but the staff! They will all know he can be beaten and feminised! He will become in all their eyes lower than even the servants! One of them even helps to raise his skirts and petticoats! And juts look at his knickers, they have dragged them down just enough to remind him he is wearing female underwear, just enough to shame him and to expose his bare buttocks. See how his wife swishes the cane - she is clearly enjoying the whole spectacle. See how he wriggles in front of an undraped window - he has no privacy, his shame is total, their control is total!
