Snug as a bug in a rug

At age five I went on a trip to visit my grandma and after we went swimming I was so cold! She wrapped me up tightly in a blanket, kind of rolling me up in it with my arms at my sides and she sat me up leaning me up against the couch and the feeling of tightness and not being able to move my arms or get out gave me a five year old’s erection. “You’re snug as a bug in a rug” she said. I felt warm and happy and loved.

I had a weak sex education that arrived well after it was needed. Certainly nothing in my formal education ever explained why I might be turned on by the idea of getting tied up. I never understood why getting rolled up in a blanket gave me an erection or why I was having thoughts about about being held captive by various strong female figures. I would roll myself up and struggle and one day, I ejaculated, my first orgasm. I didn’t even know what had happened at the time.

It would seem in my case that a combination of nature and nurture have lead me to where I am today. I have a natural, as far as I can tell, affinity for bondage but I have been exposed to images and examples my whole life.

Catwoman clearly did a lot to expose this interest for many men. Several episodes of the 1960’s version of batman gave me a raging boner. When Batman or Robin or both were captured and tied up by the confident catwoman, as she strutted around the stage, I was so desperate to be either one of them but especially, Batman because it was clear that she really loved him.

I would speculate that there are more images and examples of bondage in the mainstream than ever before. I will come back to this post and add examples but for reference you can also see this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDSM_in_culture_and_media

I want to see examples of loving and caring femdom relationships become more common in the media. I’ll be looking for ways to create and promote those.
