I’m sure it seemed to him like the date was going very well, especially when she invited him back to her place for “tea”. Right up until the moment when he slumped sideways and passed out. Then when he woke up in a compromising position with a bad headache, tied to her kitchen counter, being informed in detail about the duties of being her new boyfriend? Yeah, too late to run!

Dating life is rough, yo. Especially fantasy dating life, when you go looking for material on manga/bdsm image forums like the ones where I found all the images in this post. But as I’ve written before, my Nymph was discouraged by her sisters from meeting me after we hooked up online, because they thought something freaky or bad would happen to her, and she’d wind up behind a dumpster in trash bags. Considering that we are still happy together fifteen years later, I take a much more sanguine view of the whole online hooking up game.

But it does sometimes amuse me to look at fetish art about hookups gone wrong. Although, really, in the case of BDSM hookups, a lot of times we don’t have enough context to know if the hookup has gone terribly wrong or if it’s going amazingly right! For instance, this manga-style bondage sex image has been floating around the internet since my Usenet download days. The dude is grinning, but it’s hard to say how into it the woman he’s boning is:

It’s a somewhat similar situation with this submissive-looking blowjob scenario. Only here, there are minor bits of text on the manga page that might (or might not) give us a clue how well the date is going from the perspective of the collared woman. By “us”, of course, I mean “people who read Japanese”; I myself don’t have a clue.

Things get more complicated as the art gets more complex. There appears to be quite a conversation going on in this next manga panel, between the lady with the huge breasts and the big-dicked pair of twin young men who appear to be enthusiastically plucking her armpit hair. Is she unhappy to be on this bondage date, or is she merely trying to refocus their fetish enthusiasm somewhere more erotically useful to her? She seems mad, brothers, but is it just because she isn’t getting the spit-roasting she was promised?

Sometimes, however, things are more clear. Even without being able to read the speech bubbles, it seems unlikely that the bondage girl at the center of this next manga panel volunteered to be the helpless star of a public enema party. Somebody has taken advantage of her in a moment of weakness:

As always when I publish stuff that includes text that I can’t read, I welcome translations in the comments. Thanks!
