Kylie was used to being spanked by different people. She had been spanked growing up and now as a young woman knew she shouldn't be surprised to still end up over mom or dad's knees, and she'd been spanked by her grandparents and aunts and uncles and was currently spanked by her boyfriend. What she'd never expected was to be spanked by her boyfriend's mom while he just sat there approving as Kylie lay bare bottom across her lap and felt the stingy spanks on her little bare butt cheeks.

These violent delights have violent endsAnd in their triumph die, like fire and powder,Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honeyIs loathsome in his own deliciousnessAnd in the taste confounds the appetite.Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.

'Effeminate' is taken as an insult, especially when said about a man, and yet, some personality traits that are considered arbitrarily feminine are more aprecieted in men than they are in women. Men who are nurturing, observant, articulate, and in toutch with their emotions, are revered.

i love being able to play with gender now, as opposed to feeling weighed down by it. i love being genderqueer.

“The teapot is a satire on what was seen at the time as the ‘affectation’ of the Art for Art’s Sake movement; the self-styled ‘sensible’ and ‘manly’ world of the Victorian mainstream press saw Aesthetes as effete poseurs. Both the male and female depicted by the Royal Worcester teapot are dressed in stereotypical Aesthetic clothing, reflecting the popularity of what Gilbert and Sullivan satirised as the “greenery-yallery” colours (such as sage green and mustard yellow) that were so popular amongst Aesthetes, and the lily and sunflower so delicately modelled here were the two iconic floral symbols of the Aesthetic ‘craze’ of the late 1870s and early 1880s. However, the teapot does not only refer to the Aesthetic craze of the time. Underneath is an inscription which reads: “Fearful consequences through the laws of Natural Selection and Evolution of Living up to one’s Teapot”. This inscription was a satirical comment both on Oscar Wilde’s tongue-in-cheek quip about his blue and white china, and also on the hysterical fears circulating in the 1880s about the effects that effeminacy and the blurring of gender roles might have on the future British population.” - Dr. Sally-Anne Huxtable, Principal Curator, Modern and Contemporary Design, National Museum Scotland 

In Edo-period Japan, a man could take a younger male lover. At a tea-house near the Kabuki theaters, the young female role specialists (onnagata) worked as prostitutes. Here, an attractive youth stimulates himself as he mounts his client. The narcissi on his robe are a symbol of male love. The 'Bean Man' comments, 'Good heavens, the method of having male sex involves some elaborate artwork.'
