The Return of the Paramour - second edition

I have reworked the story to improve the plot line. The new story has ten chapters. The eight chapters of the first edition have been adjusted to snap into the new plot line. What is the story anyway? The Return of the Paramour is illustrated fiction, on young women ("paramours") who are obligated to regularly have sex with their patron. They do so in bondage, because the old medieval laws on seigneurial privileges and bondswomen are no longer in effect and modern (contract) law is not binding enough. The link (single PDF file for all 10 chapters) The Return of the Paramour (full)   Synopsis 1. The paradox of freedom In which the narrator is captivated by a new kind of erotic roleplay, and offers his assistance to an adult video producer that focuses on this roleplay. 2. The legacy of paramours In which the narrator learns that the kinky roleplay is inspired by the new bondage toys of an earlier group, and that this earlier group was in turn inspired by a naughty pra...

Caricature of love slaves, adapted from Edouard Touraine

The image is an adaptation of Edouard Touraine's "Caricature of prostitutes with their clients" as published in the French magazine "Le Rire" (see the original at the right; click on the image to zoom in). Le Rire was controversial, for pictures like this. Different times, different morals. I used the modified drawing in my illustrated story on a bondage lifestyle ("The Return of the Paramour"). Or more accurately, in an illustration where a bound and gagged girl gets molested on a couch, this drawing is seen hanging on the wall behind the couch. What I like in the drawing, is that it breathes the exact atmosphere as what I intend the story to have. And much of that atmosphere is in the details... The bondage is "nice", in the sense that the girls are not in pain and not in peril. The girls are wearing dresses with a logo of the bar, implying that they are employed by the bar, to entertain the customers. They are wearing slippers...

The Return of the Paramour, new location of the PDF files.

I uploaded the story on uploaded.net, but there appear to be problems with it. Therefore, you can get the PDF file also from my google drive. The Return of the Paramour Chapter 1 - The paradox of freedom Chapter 2 - The legacy of paramours   Chapter 3 - What men want... Chapter 4 - The princess paramour   Chapter 5 - Role play is fun!   Chapter 6 - The gold cage Chapter 7 - Submission & consent, a thin line   Chapter 8 - Unbound   This is the original story. Since putting it online, I have been working on improving the text and the plot. That will eventually be a "second edition" of the story. Note: the second edition of the story is done.

Patent application (well, a fake one)

Disclaimer This is a draft that I made for fun. It was not truly filed. Alfredo Martin is a fictional character and C.E.S.C. is a fictional organization. For the (fake) patent draft, follow this link: Adult Pacifier and Muffler     Relation to the story This patent draft is inspired by my fiction ("The Return of the Paramour"). The story is intentionally vague, it does not list a single date. However, the first steps, by the illustrious organization "C.E.S.C.", supposedly happen in the 1980's (first ideas perhaps late 1970's). I imagined that the members of C.E.S.C., a group of about 12 men, were focused and determined, but not particularly wealthy or particularly skilled. There may be a dentist among them, or a civil engineer, or a music teacher, who knows. (Of one member, a bit of background is disclosed: he is a (possibly retired) fashion designer and the story suggests that he has sewing equipment at his home.) But presumably, not one of the...

Prior art

As I wrote before, I wanted the gag design for the story "The Return of the Paramour" to be realistic ("plausible" is the word I used earlier). Realistic in the sense that: 1) I think that it can be made and 2) that it functions well. Two persons wrote me that I should try to patent it. I do not intend to do so, but for fun, I started drafting a mock patent. And for that, I did a bit of research (with Google Patent search). What I found is intriguing... Gags from China I found two US patents for gags for BDSM play, a long list of patents for medical gags and an equally long list of patents for devices that have nothing to do with voice muffling, but also happen to be called gags, and then this list: CN203015899 U, Sound-reduction mask CN201515711 U, Closed muffling mask CN204169113 U, Singing practice sound insulation mask CN200959218 Y, Silencing mask CN101266787 A , A muffler for eliminating high speaking (singing) voice These are Chinese patents (t...

Experimental mouthpiece, first test

The gag design for the story "The Return of the Paramour", is fiction, but meant to be "plausible", meaning that I think that it can be made. Three criterions in the story are: it is effective, it is (reasonably) comfortable, it causes no harm when worn for long periods. In an earlier experiment , I found that noise reduction with 20 dB is achievable. Recently, I made an experimental mouthpiece, to check it for comfort. Despite its "rubber" appearance, it is made from stiff plastic (a material that I had lying around). When worn, the jaws are kept apart by roughly 40 mm. Observations It seals the mouth pretty well. The shape of this experimental mouthpiece is not optimal; it fits, but does not fit well. With a better fit, the sealing effect will be better too. Little or no discomfort after one hour of wear. The test person said that after 30 minutes she started forgetting she had in in her mouth and that after 45 minutes she had to r...

A brief test on gag effectiveness

I did an initial experiment on gag effectiveness. These are ballpark measures. 1. mouth stuffing I used a flexible sponge in the mouth and a ballgag to seal it. It manages to drop the sound volume by 10 dB. I think that this effect (better than I expected) is solely due to the mouth stuffing, as it reduces the resonance chamber of the mouth/nose cavity and blocks air flow through the mouth. Since the path through the nose is narrower than through an open mouth, there is also less sound waves that can travel through that same path. 2. nose tubes The same setup as as above, but with a cap over the mouth and nose and tubes for breathing. In the experiment, it dropped the volume by 2 dB. This is to be expected. High frequencies may be subdued because they cannot take the bend in the tubes, but low frequencies are not hindered by bends. The slight reduction is probably due to reduction of air flow. However, for a realistic (safe) gag, I should have used wider tubing. So I am e...
