Hello,
I continue to make steady progress on my latest novel. It is starting to resemble something that I'm going to feel good about when I finally publish it.
January 7th, 2012
And now, at long last, time for a more detailed update.
In the past year, I have been going through a divorce. It puts me in an odd situation with regard to this website, because I'm quite certain my ex-wife reads my blog, and out of respect for her I won't get into the details. It's a strange position for me to be in as a writer because the majority of my writing comes from real world experiences. I would love to share the million+ thoughts I have on my marriage, relationships in general, as well as what I've been up to lately, but it will all have to wait. In the meantime, I will say this: I married a good woman who was well aware of my preferences from the beginning and it is a shame we couldn't find a way to make things work. It wasn't for lack of trying.
I'll never completely lose my interest in the Femdom writing, but I have written so extensively in the past five years that I'm not sure I have much else to say. I don't think I'll ever write a better chastity novel than Teaching The Teacher. I don't think I'll ever write a better sissification novel than Melanie The Matchmaker. I don't think I'll write a better "Loving Femdom" novel than See How She Runs (him). I have no fewer than five different projects in the works. One of them is fairly close to completion, but I haven't been writing with the same degree of focus and I'm finding it difficult to write scenes that I haven't already written before. You never know when that will change, but that's the way it is for now. My latest novel "A Fool And His Money" may never make it to market, partly because I'm uninspired and partly because my readers deserve better (UPDATE: I got the spark again and am getting closer to completing this novel)
While I do believe my Femdom writing is amongst the most creative and devious available, I'm quite sure it could use additional editing. You will find the occasional typo and/or grammatical error and for that I'm very sorry. Someone recently sent me a minor edit of "Letter From Shana," and I finally incorperated it in mid January. But my goal is to re-edit my work at some point. For those of you who haven't read one of my novels, I think you will find them 98-99% clean. But niggling issues remain -- such as the scene in Rhode Rage where Vanessa yells out "Further!" to her male charge. Ugh! Anyway, I am always looking to clean up the mistakes, so please feel free to send comments and suggestions my way. My focus has always been on the stories and the characters that inhabit them.
Hope y'all are having a good year thus far and I'll check in again soon. In the meantime, please email me if you feel like having a conversation. It's always great to hear from people.September 1st, 2011

Things are starting to hop again in the mind of one James Xavier Pendergrass. I've been in the process of writing a short fictitious "letter" in the female first person, where a modern married woman calmly describes how she convinced her husband that male chastity was best for both of them. Like most of my favorite works, this one has been a joy to write. The letter features an in-depth description of the DL2000, a male "management" tool I've recently become infatuated with.
Ultimately, my writing is always from the perspective of a horny male. Because of this, I have often stretched reality to help suit my fantasies. In my latest short project, I'm making a concerted effort to keep it as real as possible, while digging as I always do into the psychological eroticism of female supremacy. Ultimately, I write about my fantasies. So why is it that I so often find myself writing in the female first person?
More than one intelligent domme has told me in recent email communications that my writing doesn't capture the true female perspective. One even told me that my writing hinted at underlying male chauvinism. I think she was totally onto something. Recently I've started classifying myself as a switch. While my fantasies usually center on Femdom, I got great enjoyment when I wrote the Maledom story "The Nine Inch Nail." After all, men are the physically dominant gender. This inequality works both ways. There's something about a beautiful, fine-boned woman getting manhandled by brute force, just as there's something about a strong man getting outmaneuvered and ultimately defeated by feminine cunning. I love the power exchange.
In any event, as soon as I complete it, look for my latest short work to be posted at Altairboy's Chastity Site, among other places.

I've begun work on a cool new novel. This one has one of the most intricate plots I have ever put together. The plot is such that I bring in a variety of Female characters who share in the ultimate destruction of our male protaganist.
I don't yet have a working title for this project, but I will keep you posted. I'm thinking it will be complete at some point late summer, early fall.
I've added an interesting link. DreamLoverLabs promotes itself as the ultimate "male management" device. I can't vouch for the product at all, but the website itself is super hot if you're into the male chastity theme. I find myself very curious about the people behind this project because they have designed an extremely erotic website and an exciting concept to be sure. Strongly recommended.

I'm thrilled to report that Feminine Persuasion is now available at Lulu.com. These are five memorable stories featuring diverse, complex charaters and some of the most detailed and imaginative scenes of Female Domination available today. I will have a more complete entry in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the collection. Please email me with your thoughts and observations. It is always great to hear from you.

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. Things continue to progress with Feminine Persuasion. I'm looking to get it out there around June 1st. Thanks for your patience. The wait will be worth it!
April 22nd, 2011
I've been going through a fair amount of personal turmoil lately and my writing has taken somewhat of a back seat. That said, I have been making decent progress editing "Feminine Persuasion." It's coming along nicely, but it's not there yet. There's a good possibility this will be my last Femdom publication for quite some time, if not ever. I'm looking to move onto something a bit more mainstream, and I've gotten close to exhausting my imagination on this delicious subject. Who knows, maybe something will rekindle, but I've written 14 or 15 Femdom novels in the past 40 months. Between that and a few free short stories, I think I've written over half a million words. Crazy, huh? Feminine Persuasion has a lot of potential. I'd like to think I'm a better writer than when this all started, but people still rave about "FDP," a short story I wrote in 2007 when this all started, as well as The Intern, which remains the best selling title of my collection.
Anyway, I won't publish Feminine Persuasion until I'm confident it's worthy of my readers. If it's the last thing I put out there, I want to make sure it doesn't suck. My best guess is that I'll be ready to publish in late May.
Check out my links section if you get a chance. I've added a few nice nuggets in this week's update.
March 20th, 2011
At long last, I'm making good progress on my next publication. Tentatively titled "Feminine Persuasion," it's my latest collection of never-before-published short stories. Two of the stories are focused on Ballbusting. The one I'm working on now, "Daniella Scrotum Destroyer" is one of my best Ballbusting vignettes yet. I'm very pleased with it. Another story is about a deaf Woman who uses her incredible Sense Of Smell (the title) to sniff out a submissive male. Thete collection also features there's a CFNM Medical story that has wonderfully subtle humiliation (see earlier entry below). And lastly is a story titled, "It" about a man who is enslaved by a Woman's Vagina.
These stories are long enough so that I can provide the crucial details and insights they deserve. The key to a good Femdom story, IMO, is a deep exploration into the psychological implications of a given scene or moment. By digging into the minds of the Female and male, I think it gives my stories a certain edge. I hope you enjoy the latest collection. It features beautiful, intelligent, modern Women, who use their Feminine power to control and humiliate males. I hope to release this at some point in mid to late April.

Just a brief update today: I've been busy in the past few weeks re-editing and updating a pair of old classics -- Amanda Grows Up and Miss Amy - M.B.A. If you've ever thought about purchasing either of these novels, there has never been a better time. The first editions of these novels were certainly strong, but then I went back and revisited a few of the key scenes. I added some delicious details to scenes that were good to begin with. The result is some of the most realistic, most vicious, most erotic Femdom dialogue you will ever read. In the case of Amanda, the reader will enjoy her evolution into a Dominant Female, as she learns the art of male sexual humiliation and proves herself to be a blazing talent. In the case of Amy, the girl simply takes apart her male lackey in a series of incredible scenes. I must say the ballbusting moments in Miss Amy - M.B.A. are difficult to top, if you're into that sort of thing.
If you've already purchased these titles prior to March, 2011, email me the old pdf file and I will replace it with a brand spanking new, updated version of the novel.

Hello, I want to discuss Medical CFNM. It's a category that I often overlook in favor of more overt Female Domination themes. But it definitely holds a space in my fantasy world. This will be a longer entry because I have plenty to say on this delicious subject.
One of the many great things about Female doctors is that they are, almost without exception, highly educated, intelligent Women. It takes a great deal of schooling to become a doctor in this country. I have been fortunate enough to have a few memorable real-life experiences with Medical Femdom. The best one took place ten years ago. I moved to a new place and chose a Female physician as my primary care doctor. She was in her late 30s, petite, dark-haired, and kind, but at the same time no-nonsense. During our initial meeting she asked me if I conducted regular testicular self-examinations. I think my response was wishy-washy because she offered to do one for me. After that, I became nervous and excited. I think she realized this because she said we didn't have to do the examination. I stammered that it might be a good idea just to check. She told me to strip down to my underwear and put on a gown while she put up a curtain and left the room. When she returned, she had me lie back on the table and pull down my briefs, while I kept the gown on. I could feel myself begin to get an erection and I was very embarrassed. She pulled back my gown just as my penis had begun to inflate. At that point, she did something very professional and kind. My penis was in the process of falling back onto my stomach, as inflating penises will do, and so she covered it with the bottom of my gown while she conducted a proper inspection of my testicles. When I got home, I barely touched myself before I exploded.
All in all, I'd love to still have a Female physician, but I find having one causes my blood pressure to skyrocket. I had a couple of incidents where my blood pressure was ridiculously high and the female doctor became very alarmed. Ultimately, because of that, I've made the mature decision to avoid female doctors.
But that doesn't stop me from fantasizing.
The inherent beauty of a CFNM Doctor scene lies in what I like to think of as a "required subtlety" of such a scenario. Female doctors and nurses understand the need to maintain professional boundaries in situations such as these. Most of them are aware that certain men get off on the idea of being forced to strip for them. They also know certain men are terribly embarrassed to be put in that situation. These underlying, unspoken dynamics can at times create an awkward situation, and at times create an erotically charged exchange between clothed Female and nude male. Many young men will become erect in the presence of attractive Female doctors and nurses, and this can be terribly embarrassing and humiliating for the male. Because a sense of decorum must be maintained, all erotic aspects of the situation must remain unarticulated. To me, it's the ultimate subtle Femdom moment, when a male must relinquish his privacy. I like to think that
there are a number of Female doctors and nurses out there who take pleasure in their power in these situations, as well as the embarrassed reactions of their male patients.
In the past few days, I wrote what I think is a terrific short story in the Female Doctor first person, about a Female physician who takes private joy in stripping and subtly humiliating male patients. It will be part of my upcoming short story collection, which I anticipate releasing in April. If you enjoy the CFNM Femdom Medical theme, I believe you will absolutely adore this story.
If you're looking for my past novels that covered this theme, try The Johnsons, and Miss Amy, MBA, along with E.T., which is thus far my ultimate statement on medical Femdom. But my latest short story is the topper, IMO.
Also, if you're looking for Femdom Medical images available on-line, I strongly recommend the artwork of Barbara O'Toole. She's a bit of a mystery, as most of her art has been around for several years and I have no idea if she is still creating art or not. But I do know this: Her Femdom Medical artwork is electrifying. She also has good OTK spanking femdom images as well. I would say her primary influence is Norman Rockwell. She takes his style and turns it into something incredibly erotic. Here's the most comprehensive link to her artwork that I'm aware of.

2011! Holy shit. I guess the future is here.
January is always a tough month for me. It's cold and dark and my existential crisis gene tends to flare up. This is the time of year where I tend to look to the bottle for comfort. Lately I've been in one of those moods where I'm grasping for something that I can't find. I feel insatiable and I'm continually searching for a high that will satisfy me. The good news is that this doesn't usually last and I expect to snap out of it at some point.
Now that I'm in the early stages of middle age, I find that I'm not as perpetually horny as I used to be. My sex drive has become cyclical in nature, not unlike the menstrual cycle of a Woman, not that I'd really know what that's like. But then again, we're all human and I do think it's possible for a male to speculate.
I can't write about femdom effectively unless I'm turned on, and so my writing has been sporadic lately. I've gravitated toward short stories lately because they give me more flexibility. With short stories, I don't feel as committed to a specific project and therefore I'm willing to take more chances and come up with fresh ideas. My latest story is about a male who becomes totally brainwashed by a Woman's Vagina to the point where it becomes the center of his existence.
I met up with an old friend over the holidays who told me he found it admirable how I don't show any shame about my sexual fantasies. I had to chuckle at that because I believe much of the femdom-humiliation fetish relates to the shame men feel over their own desires. On the one hand, I think he's right and I don't particularly care if I'm outed. On the other hand, I'm selective with whom I share my writing with. People can be judgmental, and my writing is certainly not for every taste. I would argue that shame is the very essence of what makes my writing erotic, and that I feel as much shame as anyone. Shame fuels me.
I've always been fascinated, and terrified, by human vulnerability, and Femdom plays directly into this. In our formative years, we're all basically helpless and need to rely upon a higher power (adults -- usually Women -- although that has changed in recent years) for our survival. For these reasons I think sexually submissive behavior among both men and Women is 100% natural.
Have any of you been following the story of Rex Ryan? He is the big/fat/tough coach of the New York Jets in the most popular sports league in the USA. He recently was outed, for lack of a better term, as a foot fetishist. A few years ago he filmed his wife's feet while he was off camera commenting on how delicious they looked. Now there are rumors that he's a cuckold. I find the whole affair to be fascinating since it forces all the meathead football fans out there to possibly do a little self inspection. I have a hard time with all the fake people (mostly men) that point their plastic fingers at this guy and call him weird and freakish. I have my doubts that anyone in the world is solely interested in vanilla sex.*****

Hello. I hope you're having a good holiday season. I have a few things to share in today's Memoirs From a Femdom-Obsessed Male:
I've begun working on a new novel. The working title is "The Heavy Bag" and it has a strong focus on ballbusting. I believe this will be my 15th or 16th novel, and I've found it a challenge recently to keep things fresh, while staying within the Femdom theme. The good news is that Femdom is a wonderfully deep field. The Female (of the human variety) is such a complex, fascinating creature. She comes in so many shapes, sizes, and personalities. That said, I've been deeply exploring this topic in my writing for the past three years or so and I think I'm getting close to the bottom if it. But who knows? I thought I was finished after my third novel and look where we are now. Either way, I will eventually run out of ideas. We all do.Anyway, The Heavy Bag has a promising beginning. I don't think I've ever written a novel with ballbusting as the centerpiece. Some of my recent short stories in Ball Sprawl were dedicated to the subject (“Ball Sprawl” and “Coed Soccer”), but never a full-length piece until now. We'll see how it goes. If things go well, I hope to publish it in February.
While we're on the subject of ballbusting, I've added a ballbusting link. Kicked And Abused has been around for a while and I guess I never paid it enough attention, largely because I'm not physically attracted to the lead domme. However, I recently took a closer look. Goddess Megan has won me over with her absolutely brutal style. Her male slave is quite the excellent lackey. He can take a ton of punishment, and his sack appears permanently enlarged from all the damage Megan and her Girlfriends have dished out. He's almost always doubled-teamed by Meghan and whatever Gal she happens to meet in the course of her daily life. Some of the Women Megan has brought in to bust nuts with her are utterly spectacular. At the top of the list is Alyse, a gorgeous young blonde and a complete ballbusting STARLET. The videos featuring Alyse are without question some of the hottest available on line. An absolute MUST if you enjoy my style of femdom.
In other news, I'm close to publishing my male-dom story -- The Nine Inch Nail. Just waiting for the right opportunity to post it on smtales.com and bdsmlibrary.com before the end of 2010.
Have a happy and safe New Year.

Every so often, a previously unknown young person comes out of nowhere to dominate his or her field. In music, we once had Mozart, whereas nowadays we're blessed with Justin Bieber (yuck). In baseball, Dwight Gooden become a dominant pitcher at an incredibly young age back in the mid 1980s. Last I checked, he was beset with legal and drug problems. And who could forget Doogie Houser MD who dominated hospitals at the tender age of 16? And I'm happy to report Neil Patrick-Harris is doing great. He had a brilliant turn in Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle.
In the world of femdom, I'm proud to announce the arrival of a brilliant young humiliatrix. Princess Perfect is a stunningly gorgeous young Woman. But her physical traits alone would mean little if not for the fact that she has a wonderfully arrogant attitude and natural dominant instincts. For all the Women out there looking to make money dominating men, might I humbly suggest you pay attention to the way Princess Perfect dresses herself? Princess Perfect wears snug-fitting straight skirts that hang well above her hips. She always wears high heels and always spends the time to do her hair, demonstrating that it's possible to be incredibly sexy without being the least bit slutty. "Slutty" is a big no-no in the world of Femdon fashion, in my not so humble opinion, and it's such a common mistake. As you know, if you've read any of my stories, I very much prefer Femdoms in classy, elegant attire. Women need not dress overly provocatively to look beautiful. When a Woman is as well put-together as Princess Perfect, it conveys the notion that She has her life in order and is a Female worthy of being worshipped
At
this stage, I would not describe Princess Perfect's verbal skills as dazzling, but she hits on the right words and carries a certain air of superiority in her sessions that comes off as natural. She doesn't try to overdo things, and doesn't make the most common mistake of all, which is to rant, rave, and act angry while dominating men. She asserts control with confidence and she isn't shy about pointing out that her subs are paying her for the right to grovel at her feet. She understands that men need to be humiliated and she does so unapologetically, and in a way that leads one to believe that her superiority is real. It's a joy to watch a lovely young Woman carry herself with such confidence. Here's hoping she surrounds herself with capable advisors and makes the most of her considerable talents...
(UPDATE April 22nd, 2011 -- Princess Perfect has disappeared from the scene. To my knowledge, she hasn't made a video in several months. I can only speculate as to why that is, but maybe her family found out the shit she was up to and brought the heat down on her. The girl claimed to be only 19, which is awfully young. And she never did any scenes with nude males, which indicates she had some qualms about what she was doing. And who could blame her for that? If she wants to go corporate, it's possible she's concerned about sullying her reputation. I wish her the best, wherever she lands. UPDATE November, 2011 -- she is back, but still performing only R-rated scenes.)

November 9th, 2010I want to write a little more about Femdom Imagery and the way in which it infuses eroticism into my mind and gets my blood flowing.
Like my last entry, there's an irony here. In sharing with you the way my brain processes the visual intricacies of Femdom, I'll be guilty of objectifying Women. For decades, this has been a primary complaint of Feminists and the Women's Liberation movement when it comes to pornography -- namely that Women are reduced to sexual objects as they dominate men. Therein lies the irony of the situation. But as you'll read in a moment, the male form and its contrast to the Woman plays a direct role in all this. So I guess you could say I'm guilty of objectifying both men and Women. That makes me an equal-opportunity “objectifier” in my book.
When it comes to Femdom imagery, the basis for all of my fantasies is CFNM -- the notion that Women retain their physical dignity in the form of privacy, while the male is quite literally stripped of his own. Some will argue that dignity and clothing have little to do with each other, but in my eyes and in the eyes of most submissive men, there's a direct correlation.
Here are three specific examples of the type of imagery that I find pleasing:
1. A Women in classy, elegant attire, and her subtle movements. Have you ever closely studied the typical movement of a Female who has good posture? I attended a modern art exhibit last year where one of the pieces featured a silhouette of a Woman walking down a street. If you're like me, you find eroticism in this...the way she swings her hips, the way her arms move in perfect coordination with her lower body, her slender fingers rubbing back and forth against her outer-thigh. There is great beauty in feminine composure. In my mind, it manifests itself as an expression of confidence and superiority. Taking this a step further, I enjoy watching a slender, well-dressed Woman merely standing, preferably with her feet together. The side profile is especially erotic. If the Woman is wearing tight, comfortably fitting clothing, you're afforded an incredible view of the rise of her pubic bone. Note the way it protrudes ever so slightly forward from her thighs, presenting an elusive hint of the treasure, which lies beneath. One last subtle movement that drives me crazy with lust is when a Woman instinctively reaches up with one hand to slide her hair away from the side of her face. It's such an instinctively feminine maneuver, something that happens so naturally and something you'd never see a male do. I especially enjoy this maneuver when a Woman is in the process of kicking nuts. She's gracefully brushing aside her hair, so she has a good visual of her target, as she sets herself to deliver another important blow for Womankind, which brings us to....
2. A Good, Hard Ballkicking. There are so many reasons why this is visually pleasing. For starters, let's look at the basics. The Woman is clothed and preferably wearing high heels, or boots. She is intent upon causing pain and humiliation. The male is nude and his legs are spread. This is a key notion. The male is an active participant in his own humiliation. He's physically submitting to the Female, opening up the most vulnerable part of his body to punishment. There is no logical reason for him to submit this way, so his spread legs effectively convey the mental power the Woman holds over him. Have you ever studied the slow-motion flex of a Woman's crotch when she pulls her leg back and prepares to kick a male in the nuts? It is something to behold, as is her calf muscle as it swings forward. Finally, we have The Collision. The Collision is spectacular for so many reasons. For me, it relates to the momentum of the Woman's foot, which is not the least bit disrupted by her contact with the male's genitalia. Rather, it's the cock and balls that fully yield to Feminine force, contorting in the most spectacular fashion, as the Female foot continues its journey through the soft skin and cartilage until it slams comfortably against the pelvis. When the cock and balls go flying, it gives the male a circus animal appearance, especially when factoring the background of his hairy ass crack (on doggie-style kicks), whereas every curve and shape of a Woman's body is perfectly conceived. My short story "Ball Sprawl" deals with this subject better than any other story I've ever written.
3. OTK Spanking. I've talked at such length about OTK spanking that not much more needs to be said. It's especially nice when the Woman's legs and feet are neatly together, as it displays her composure. A hairbrush fits nicely since it's an everyday object converted into an instrument of female domination. A bright red male ass conveys the seriousness of the situation. This is not just a game; the male is receiving a painful and intensely humiliating reminder of his place. I also prefer the male to have his arm twisted behind his back in such a way that he can't easily escape. The Woman has a look of concentration on her face, but her lips are curled up in a slight smile, as she takes great pride and joy in presiding over the male's defeat. The male's face is contorted in a such a way that displays realization and incredulity of his predicament. Handled properly, the image is one of total Cunt Power.October 17th, 2010
For those who seek a preview of my latest novel, "Teaching The Teacher," please see my previous two entries below.
And now, a stream-of-consciousness entry that I think sub males can probably relate to:
The reason I find the clips4sale.com website fascinating is that it serves as an unofficial measure of the tastes and desires of "popular" fetish culture. The site has a top 50 list, both by site and by individual clips, which enables the viewer to get a good sense for what's "hot" and what's not. (Now all clips4sale.com desperately needs is a review/ratings system, but that's another subject for another time.
I'm always curious to see the type of femdom sites and videos that make it to the top. Some are better than others, but one thing I've been struck by is the way the average femdom viewer's taste tends to be more outlandish than my preferences. Outlandish in the sense that people seem to prefer more black leather, latex, whips, chains, and theme rooms than I do. They prefer their dominant Women dressed in these wild outfits that the Women would never get caught wearing in public.
It puzzles me that so many sub men gravitate toward scenes of Women in what I view as bizarre attire. I find Women so much more beautiful and dominant in everyday skirts, blouses, jeans, leisure pants, pumps, scarves, etc. I don't hold anyone's fetish against them, but I don't understand why men prefer dominas dressed in fetish gear. To me, it serves to subjugate the Woman, as it takes her out of her natural state. Others might argue it makes her more sexually powerful, in a visual sense. More power to them, but I'm not that way.
As a Femdom writer and incessant "fantasizer," my desire has always been oriented toward realism. For me, that implies Women in their natural state, wearing comfortable clothing. My writing almost always features interactions between "normal" people living their lives in a modern, impersonal world. It's exciting to fantasize about an unexpected and lewd sexual connection forged amid the monotony of the typical person's day. I love the contrast between the normal social constructs we live with, and Femdom sexual humiliation.
When I think of a Female dressed in "dominatrix attire" for lack of a better term, it implies effort on her behalf. She had to spend time and energy putting herself into an unnatural state. I'm very much inspired by the idea of a dominant Woman effortlessly controlling men. She merely needs to exist, and her presence alone, along with her intelligence, is more than enough to overcome the male's physical advantage. It's this idea that her innate sexuality and beauty can overpower the male species, which in many cases it can. Thus, her attire is almost an afterthought. She dresses in clothes that fit her and make her feel like a Woman. There's a conservatism that I associate with my archetypical Dominant Woman. She's refined and sophisticated. She thinks and moves with great care and forethought. This is directly linked to personal appearance. The contrast between Feminine conservatism and the animal instinct of the male is a key basis for erotic female-over-male domination. In my constructs, the Woman is far more civilized than the man. She is more calm and calculating. Her heart rate doesn't fluctuate as much.
Too many Femdoms seem to "slut it up." I won't name any names, but many of the most talented Femdoms on clips4sale are too willing to show their bodies, and shake their money makers. I'm talking about some of the most talented dommes on the web. Sometimes I want to write to them and tell them to stop slutting it up so much. Of course, this is ridiculous and unfair on my part. These Women have sexual libidos that deserve to be satisfied. In most cases, I think they slut it up only because they enjoy doing it. The fact is that my vision of a world where Women are these perfect species with flawless self-control who use their vaginas to subjugate the beastly male species is not based in reality. In reality, Women have animal instincts too. Women are emotional creatures. And in many ways, these instincts and emotions don't support my Femdom fantasies.
So basically, I will conclude this entry by saying my desire to see Femdoms in their more "natural" clothed state is hypocritical on my part, and could be viewed as an example of a sub (me) attempting to top-from-the-bottom -- to manipulate and control a scene in a way that gratifies me first and foremost. This is precisely the reason I have written so many Femdom novels. I think it's because I have very exacting desires and fetishes that I can best satisfy when I'm in full control of the scene. And that's the beauty of being able to write about it.

October 12th, 2010 --
I want to share some additional details about Teaching The Teacher: I should have mentioned this in my original post -- this latest novel of mine has, in my estimation, the greatest Femdom OTK Spanking scenes I have ever written. Readers of my earlier work will know that this is a strong claim, but I stand behind it. As I've written before, I wouldn't continue to put out Femdom novels unless I felt I was still uncovering new angles on this delicious subject. The themes remain similar, but my prose continues to evolve.
In particular, for as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the hairbrush as a tool used by Women to discipline males. If you've ever been spanked with a hairbrush, you know how incredibly painful and humiliating it can be. In Teaching The Teacher, as part of his "education," the male protagonist is forced to endure some of the most ego-crushing OTK hairbrush spankings imaginable.
What makes my spanking scenes different? Forgive the egotistical nature (ironic, isn't it?) of this comment, but I delve into the intense psychological impact of a F/m spanking more effectively than any other writer I have ever encountered. I try to get into the mind of the the male subject as he is methodically broken down by the Woman. I convey the sense of desperation as his mind seeks escape and discovers there is none to be had. And I make sure to cover the brutal aftermath, when the male has been reduced to sobs and the Women all take great joy in his red ass and bouncing genitals (note the heavy emphasis on CFNM humiliation) as his emotions completely melt down.
In my stories, the Women are always ruthless when it comes to OTK spankings. The typical James Pendergrass Female character knows how resourceful the male ego is and She is determined to destroy it. She knows few things are more humiliating to a male than a severe bare-assed spanking, preferably in front of several other clothed Females. I think you'll find the subtle and not-so-subtle aspects of these OTK scenes to be incredibly erotic. Every detail of before, during, and after the spanking is carefully attended to, and the goal is to convey the deep sense of "Cunt Power," for lack of a better term, that has taken place. In this case, I use the word "cunt" to reflect my utmost respect for the beauty and majesty of the Female gender.
n Teaching The Teacher, my lead Female character has discovered an OTK technique that is beautifully effective in achieving its goal of enforcing male humility. She uses the technique again and again throughout the novel, teaching other Women the benefits of her brutally clever method. Those who enjoy the idea of Femdom OTK spanking will find these scenes, among others, to be quite thrilling.

I'm glad to announce the publication of my *14th eBook, Teaching The Teacher.
Teaching The Teacher is the story of James, an unmotivated, mysogynistic, 32-year-old math teacher. After a promising start to his teaching career, James has been going through the motions for years. The lone bright spot in his life is the gorgeous Lori, a 29-year-old marketing manager, to whom he is engaged. A source of great pride and great frustration to James, Lori has vowed to remain celebate until marriage. With no wedding date yet announced, James seeks other outlets for sexual release, chiefly Asian massages that end happily, as well as the occasional prostitute.
At the beginning of his tenth year of teaching, James is delighted to discover that the school has hired Talia Yount, a 24-year-old Woman from New York City, to teach kindergarten. At first glance, Talia appears the crunchy type, with her nose ring and art-deco blouses. On closer inspection James discovers she has a feisty, feminine persona, and a luscious body. A lifelong conservative, James is also amused to discover that Talia is a (gasp) liberal. He decides to make her his next conquest.
James quickly learns that Talia isn't quite the pushover he thought she was. After a failed attempt to get her in the sack, he finds himself cornered by the precocious, vindictive young Woman who sees his philandering as a golden opportunity to have some fun and teach him a few life lessons. She uses enforced male chastity as her weapon of choice. Although many of my novels feature the chastity theme, this is the first novel I've written in which male chastity is the centerpiece. In some ways I think it adds an element of realism that my readers will find gratifying.
Talia soon befriends the conservative Lori and teaches her the benefits of Female Domination, and the deep sense of satisfaction a Girl can have when she makes the rules. The relationship between the two young Women is mutually beneficial, as Lori begins to exert a positive influence on Talia's personal style (clothing, hair, etc). Talia is thorough and relentless; she won't stop until James has been reprogrammed into something useful. In my estimation, she's the most fabulous young Femdom character that I have ever created.
Teaching The Teacher is written in mock-journal style. At the start of the school year, James has decided to record the near-daily details of his tenth year of teaching. Little does he know the type of experiences he'll be writing about. In addition to James' steady journal entries, the novel is augmented by what I refer to as "Interludes," in which we are treated to discussions between Talia and Lori as they conspire to put James permanently in his place. These scenes are written in playwright form and enable my readers to be privy to some of the most deliciously erotic Female Supremacy discussions between young Females that you will ever come across.
At 45,000 words, this is my longest and most comprehensive novel to date, and I'm certain it's the best work I've ever done on the subject of Female Domination. If you've never purchased one of my novels, I recommend you start here. I believe you'll find Teaching The Teacher to be quite engaging from the outset. Because it's longer than my other novels, it's given me the freedom to take more time building up the suspense and excitement before the ultra-explicit scenes begin to kick in. The final resolution to this novel is easily the best ending I have ever written. I took great pains to make certain the climactic scenes deliver on the promise of the rest of the work. But I promise you won't have to wait until the end of this novel to read some incredibly erotic passages. I hope you enjoy.

When I first decided to call myself James Pendergrass, I'm not sure I was thinking it through. To my knowledge there are at least two real James Pendergrasses in the USA, and probably more of them in Britain. I'd like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to those folks named James Pendergrass. None of them have contacted me as of yet, but I can imagine they might be aware that I'm out there, writing these incredibly lewd novels of Female Domination and potentially sullying their image. I wonder if their friends have brought the subject up with them. In a way I suppose it's kind of funny. Perhaps some day I'll get an angry email from a real James Pendergrass telling me that I have fucked up his life. Maybe a real James P will hire a private investigator, or hunt me down and kill me. And maybe I'm allowing my imagination to get the better of me.
This entry sets the record straight -- my name isn't James Pendergrass. So if you're a friend of a dude named James Pendergrass and you stumbled upon this website I'd like you to know that your friend isn't the perverted mutherfucker who writes femdom stories. That would be me. Now that I have your attention, you might want to check out some of my writing. It's quite erotic.In conclusion, if I could do it again I'd call myself Xavier Pendergrass. Surely there can't be any Xavier Pendergrasses out there.
I'm happy to report that my latest novel, Teaching The Teacher, is complete. I'm in the process of touching it up and I expect to publish it on the first of October. At over 40,000 words, it's my longest novel and quite possibly my best. It's definitely up there with Two Leashes and See How She Runs (him), which are my personal faves. My latest novel takes some of the playwright-style dialogue ideas, which were so popular in The Intern, to the next level. I absolutely adore the main female character. She evolves so beautifully. You'll love her methodical style as she outsmarts and outmaneuvers the male character. There's even a nice little plot twist that helps explain a question that will lurk in the minds of my more perceptive readers as they go through the book. Yes, I think you're going to love it. If you'd like a sneak preview of my new book, please email me at jmplays at yahoo dot com and I'll send you the first few parts.
August 22nd, 2010 --
I've been wanting to write (and complain) about the clips4sale.com website for a while now. The main problem with the site is over-saturation. I haven't bothered to count the number of sites, but I believe they now number more than 40,000. That's a lot of shit to sift through. The shrewd businesspeople behind clips4sale have done a good job of giving their customers multiple search tools. Even so, the amount of sub par crap is enormous and that brings me to my other problem, which is that you can't rely on the top-selling clips since the general public has lousy taste. The people at clips4sale would be wise to set up a rating system. It would help separate the riffraff from the occasional good site.
Here is the issue: Most self-proclaimed femdoms, not including the ones I endorse on my links page, are ineffective at verbal humiliation. In fact, most of them suck. I could list dozens of examples for you, but then I’d make a bunch of enemies and that would be very stupid. Generally, here’s a good rule of thumb: the hotter the girl, the more likely she is to suck ass at verbal humiliation. I think the reason is that women who are both hot and intelligent do not involve themselves in this lifestyle. That doesn't mean there aren't any (again, see my links), but it's a rarity. That's one of many reasons I write about this shit. My femdom archetype is always beautiful and devilishly clever.
Rather than give you my top five all-time clips4sale videos, I'm going to focus on ballbusting videos since they tend to be more reliable, and I can offer five that are utterly fantastic. So, here goes. Once again, let me add I have no affiliation with any of these websites.
1 . Empress Cruel - Wash Your Filthy Cock (from Ballbusting Chicks) -- This personal favorite features the devastatingly hard-core German ballbusting queen Empress Cruel. I happen to think she's lovely. She's an older mistress, maybe in her 30s or even late 40s and still has a spectacular body. This is a natural bitch who takes great joy in dominating males. Many of her videos feature extremely hard-core, nut-rupturing kicks. This one is slightly more tender. Here, she chastises a male slave for not keeping his cock clean, and then she punishes him for getting an erection when he does wash his cock in front of her. The scene takes place in a shower. It has a nice air of realism. Empress Cruel is wearing a black outfit with knee high black boots. She delivers many punishing ball kicks throughout the film. She also smacks the poor guy's penis around dozens and dozens of times, generating serious discomfort. She also grabs and wrenches this guy's scrotum. I should warn you that Empress Cruel speaks German and the film has no English subtitles. But her commanding, feminine tone is more than enough. I'd love a German-speaking reader to send me a translation of this video.2. Roskana's Black Heels (from Velvet Kick) -- Roskana is a gorgeous Russian ballbuster. She has a tight, nubile body and she's extremely sexy in the way she punishes her lucky male slave. At one point, she squeezes his nuts through a hair-straightener and then she bursts into laughter as he recoils in agony. At times during the punishment, she also delivers little squeals and grunts. She’s a feminine doll and knows exactly how to be the type of bitch we all love.
3. Each girl gets 18 kicks (Sarah Serena and Jenna) Part C (from BratPrincess2) -- This is a terrific video. It's a good ten minutes of a larger video shoot. It features three typical young American women absolutely humiliating the shit out of a lucky guy. The trash talk is quite good by most standards. These girls really enjoy themselves. First they have tied standing up, spread eagled. Then, after he crumbles to the ground, they continue to batter his swollen ballbag with kick after kick after kick. The three women take turns. Some of the up-close shots of the male's bag getting impacted by feminine footwear are amongst the best I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Sarah, in particular, is a commanding young lady, but Serena’s kicks at the end of the video are truly spectacular. She uses her platform high heels to launch this guy’s genitals into orbit. (On a side note: Brat Princess (I & II) went out of business for close to a year before coming back in the past few weeks. It's one of the great mysteries of clips4sale.com -- why would a perennial top 50 site stop generating videos for long. What happened to the girls? There must be a good story behind that one).
4. I'm a Testicles Kicker - Wild Brutal Kicking (from Spikey Step) -- 15 minutes of two-on-two nut-destroying action. These two lovely European ladies speak fluent English with an accent. And boy do they ever lambaste a pair of scrotums. Both Lexia and Zita are dressed like ladies, not too slutty, just right. They kick these men standing up. They kick them doggy style. They kick them while they are on their backs. They also spend time slapping their faces. It's a total destruction. One slight issue is the two bald male subjects. These guys appear on so many Spikey Step videos that it has become silly. Their nuts must be mangled beyond recognition. Especially the shorter, bald guy. He can't possibly procreate anymore. Either way, this particular is an all-time great. Lexia and Zita both clearly love inflicting punishment. The joy with which they pummel these two scrotums is a joy to watch.
5. Casting CyndieMyst - Business Woman -Naked Ballkicking (from Spikey Step) -- This is a simple, no-nonsense ball destruction. Cyndi is a little on the older side, but she has a terrific figure and her lower body looks absolutely dynamite outfitted in black stockings and black pumps. The best part of this video is the final scene where she forces her sub to get on all fours before punting his naked, defeated ass out the door. She makes him crawl forward with each kick. A couple of times, the pain is so severe that he sprawls in agony. So perfectly humiliating!

August 10th, 2010 --
In the past ten days I've written about 25,000 words of fiction on a new project. Temporarily titled, "Teaching The Teacher," this latest novel will go down as the greatest forced-male chastity work I have ever produced. It occurred to me that although I have hit on this topic in the past, I have yet to produce a full-length novel with male chastity as the true driving force behind the female domination that ensues. The setting of this novel is middle school. No, it doesn't involve minors. Rather, it involves a quirky young female teacher who puts a horny, philandering math teacher soundly in his place. The lead female character in this novel is among my favorite creations. Filled with exquisite psychological detail, the pacing of this novel feels spot-on for those who like a gradual, realistic build-up to some super intense femdom humiliation. Not only that, but the structure is something completely new and, I think, quite innovative. Expected release date: October 1st, 2010.
Now I want to talk about a word that appears frequently in my work. It is arguably one of the more controversial terms that I deal with. I'm talking about the word loser.
Why is it sexually gratifying to be called a loser by a dominant female? I think it’s partly because such a casual dismissal makes the woman delivering the insult come off as commanding and decisive. It implies that the sub is not worth her time or effort, and that he should consider himself lucky that the woman would take the time out of her successful life to dispatch him. Mostly though, the term “loser” is at the very core of humiliation. Nobody wants to be thought of as a loser, which is precisely what makes it so erotic.
So many on-line femdoms use this word with regularity. Unfortunately, many of them overuse it to the point where it becomes anti-climactic. As most experienced subs know, the vast majority of online doms don’t have a clue what they are doing. “Loser loser loser!” they say again and again without ever getting into the why. If only there were a certification course one could take before becoming an online domina.But hey, at least they aren’t dangerous. The dangerous humiliatrixes are the ones who have talent, but seem hell-bent on financially destroying the truly weak among us.
While it's exciting to fantasize about being used, drained (financially and sexually), and then discarded, many talented online doms don't give a shit about the men they abuse. To such women, men are a means to an end. The attitude of not giving a shit about sub men is precisely what attracts sub men in the first place. There’s a thin line between a fun game and sexual abuse. If a male is allowing himself to be blackmailed or financially destroyed by a dominant woman, he should seek help. It's very much like the addicted gambler who cannot walk away. Sorry to sound like a douche, but don’t allow your life to be destroyed by a dom. There are plenty of talented humiliatrixes who will give you the mind fuck you seek without emptying your fucking bank account.
*****July 21st, 2010 – A longer entry than usual today.
Why is it that so many dominant Women have tattoos? This question has been gnawing at me. So much so that I posted a query on the new Fetlife website. (Aside: Fetlife is one of the better femdom social networking site that I’ve come across.) The gist of the feedback I got from the contributors at Fetlife -- many of them dominant Women themselves -- was that body ink and bdsm are both reflective of alternative lifestyles. The type of person who might be interested in the transgressive nature of bdsm is more likely to “express themselves” through body art. Sounds reasonable to me.
Personally I despise tattoos. I don't understand the appeal. I have always considered them juvenile and, in my eyes, they do nothing but hinder and obstruct Female beauty. That said, I do think possible to have a meaningful tattoo. Some of the respondents to my Fetlife query indicated that their tattoos are tributes to loved ones who are no longer with us. This is certainly preferable to getting Yosemite Sam or Foghorn Leghorn tattooed on your ass just for the fuck of it. But I still find the practice has a detrimental effect on beauty. Only my opinion of course. I can’t stand piercings either. I suppose this means I’m guilty of objectifying Women. You could argue it’s unfair for me to expect them to be physically pure and perfect, while at the same time wanting them to be cruel beings who get off on controlling, manipulating and humiliating me. It’s as though I expect a perfect exterior with a nasty core. I don’t know what this says about me, or other like-minded submissive men. Does this mean I hold Women to an unfair standard? Perhaps. Oh the irony.
I'm reading the Melissa Febos book Whip Smart. It's a memoir about her experience as a NYC dominatrix and her (debatably related) struggles with drug addiction. Recently I had a chance to meet Miss Febos as she read passages from Whip Smart at a Cambridge, Massachusetts book store. The crowd was lively and engaged. I wish the Q&A session lasted longer than it did. Miss Febos, who now teaches writing at SUNY Purchase, appears to be in her early 30s. She's short, attractively plump, and projects a fierce confidence. Her arms are heavily tattooed, which was my only gripe with her physical appearance.
Miss Febos read a passage from late in her book that hinted at a personal disdain for the power exchange / S&M, whatever you want to call it. I asked her if she still felt this way. She responded that her feelings about S&M had oscillated over the years and that she currently was fairly neutral on the subject. It soon became clear to me that the Femdom chapter of her life is over and she has moved on to academia and writing -- serious adulthood I guess you could call it. Febos was a pro domme for the money, and because it fed her narcissistic inclinations (being a domme was something she could brag about at parties). I'm not judging her, as there's much more to her character than this, but it takes a narcissist to know one.
I'm 40% into Whip Smart. To my delight, it appears Miss Febos worked at the same dungeon that I used to frequent when I lived in NYC from 1998 to 2002. I don't remember seeing her there, as I think she was arriving just as I was leaving. This fact makes the book especially interesting to me, as I try to figure out which characters in her book might I have sessioned with. Thus far, I'm finding it quite enjoyable. I will post my full thoughts on the book as soon as I'm finished reading it. Initially it strikes me as something deeper than what we usually get when dominant Women describe their experiences with the profession.

July 1, 2010 --Ball Sprawl & Other Tales is now available at Lulu.com. Here is the direct link:
http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/ball-sprawl-and-other-tales/11603282.
Please cut the link and paste it in your browser. I'm obviously too idiotic (or lazy) to figure out how to post a hyperlink. In all honesty, I believe this is a terrific collection of short stories. You could do a lot worse with your $11.95. If you have enjoyed anything I've written in the past, you will surely enjoy some, if not all of these stories. They are highly creative, I think, and they were a joy to write.
Speaking of stories, I'd like to share a personal anecdote. This relates to my Femdom influences and speaks to how I became so passionate about Female Domination.
Back in 1996, when I ventured into life after college, I discovered the Internet (I have always been a laggard when it comes to technology). At the time, I worked for a small import/export operation and had an entire office to myself. It was then that I first began to explore the Femdom resources available on the Internet. I recall discovering Dr. Phil's seminal 13-part story "Shame On Your Mr. Hyde." I recall stumbling upon Mule's Femdom Barnyard. I've never really been a fan of the title since I don't think it does Mule justice. He's not into beastiality or anything like that (if you're into beastiality, more power to you, but it's not my thing). Mule is one of the true pioneers of Femdom on the web. He wrote some terrific stories (most notably "Jessica" and "The Domination of Jason") and has always been a strong, independent voice when it comes to Female Domination.
One of Mule's early associates was an individual named Estragon. I think Estragon passed away some time ago -- Mule once noted this on his website. Anyway, Estragon is the most fascinating Femdom writer I have ever come across. The term "unique" is overused in our society, but Estragon deserved the moniker. What made Estragon different? Estragon was a true Femdom philosopher, a genuine deep thinker. His writings were cerebral and sought to explore the psychology behind female domination, i.e., what makes Women so inherently sexually powerful. He liked to reflect on the female body and how a Woman could control a man by her mere presence, through no effort on her behalf. That's an incredibly erotic notion IMO because it speaks to the idea of natural female supremacy. I have always strongly identified with this idea and have sought to integrate it into my writing. Estragon loved to explore a young Woman's initial innocence, and then her discovery of power, a discovery that, according to Estragon, was inevitable and driven by nature. It was as if young Women were programmed by evolution to control and subjugate men. Estragon felt it was only a matter of time before young Women realized the power they held between their thighs. He believed young Women took great joy in controlling mankind by controlling what existed between man's thighs. Estragon's Female archetype was downright amused by the sexual power they hold over men. But at the same time, they considered it their birthright. Once the Estragon Female discovered their power, they became completely aloof in their dealings with men. To the Estragon Female, the vagina is a source of immense pride and dignity, while the penis is a source of embarrassment and a lack of self-control.You can find Estragon's work at alt sex stories text repository (www.asstr.org) among other places. In my experience, it is some of the most thought provoking and erotic Femdom writing ever put into print.

June 21, 2010 –
Greetings. Hope you are well. I’m within two weeks of publishing my short story collection. Right now I’m deep into the editing process, fixing the typos and taking a hard look at the dialogue, which I’ve always felt was my strength as a writer. I try to imagine I am there, facing the Woman as she delivers her insulting comments. I try to imagine the inflection of her voice, and the way she might subtly flip her head back, or push her hair away from her forehead. I try to make sure her line doesn’t sound contrived and that it stays true to her character. Is she a brash, vicious humiliatrix? Or is she more of the subtle, feminine type whose words are carefully chosen and delivered in nuanced fashion? Is she a less experienced girl who is still discovering her power and marveling at her ability to dominate men, or is she a completely realized Woman who know she holds all the power in the world between her thighs and takes great pleasure in pushing all the right buttons? My short story collection contains all different types of women, but the end result is always the same -- Female victory and male sexual humiliation. In fact, I was tempted to name the publication "Female Victory," but I decided that was a stupid title.
BTW, if any of you see people who have taken my work and published it as their own, please let me know. I already found someone doing this recently. If the tip turns out to be valid, I will give you one of my novels as a token of thanks. I know it isn't much, but it's the best I can do. And just think of the personal pride you can take in sticking it to some plagiarizing shit-heel.

Let's talk a little bit about spanking, shall we? There's something that feels just so right about a clothed Woman blistering a male's ass thereby teaching him a humiliating lesson he is not likely to ever forget.
Spanking is similar to ballbusting in that both involve the physical domination of a male by a (presumably) superior female. Ballbusting is more emasculating because it involves direct punishment of male sex organs. Spanking is also emasculating, but in a slightly different way. Rather than a direct assault on what makes a male a male, spanking can be viewed as an assault on a male's adulthood, his maturity or lack thereof. Although corporal punishment of children has become frowned upon by modern society (with good reason, IMO), many of us, myself included, were spanked when we were children. Thus, the spanking of a mature adult male by a mature adult Woman represents a wonderful expression of Female authority.
Okay, before I put you to sleep, let me discuss some typical features of a spanking scene.
My #1 preference by far is OTK spanking. I absolutely love the imagery of a fully clothed Woman taking the male over her lap. The Woman sits composed and comfortable in a chair. She wears sensible feminine attire. The male, on the other hand, has his ass up in the air and his head down toward the floor. His world is quite literally being turned upside down. I also enjoy it when the Woman pins the male's arm behind his back. This makes it so the male cannot escape punishment even if he wants to. I prefer the use of a hairbrush. A paddle, or other wooden object is also quite suitable, but the hairbrush is a common household item and not necessarily a bdsm "toy." Therefore it represents the Woman using what is convenient, rather than resorting to something unusual. Plus a hairbrush hurts like a mutherfucker.
I love the idea of a woman inflicting real, enduring pain on the male's backside. It is best when the Woman takes great pride and joy in administering the punishment. The male, on the other hand, might initially think a spanking is no big deal. Maybe the Woman starts with her hand and the pain is manageable. But when she switches to the hairbrush, the pain soon becomes unmanageable. The male begins to feel real physical pain, and with it comes emotional pain. He begins to fight it. His legs begin to kick as his flight instinct kicks in. But he's like a gerbil on a treadmill. He can't get anywhere. As his ass gets bruised and enflamed, each spank hurts more and more. And the spanks continue to rain down with cruel regularity, the male becomes increasingly desperate. He begins to beg the Woman to stop. He tells her he learned his lesson, that he'll try to change, that he'll obey her commands. But the Woman doesn't care. She has a very specific goal in mind. She wants to reduce the male to deep sobs. This is another aspect of spanking that differs from ballbusting. My male characters never cry, no matter how much blunt trauma is delivered to their testicles. They always cry after a good, hard OTK spanking. His deep sobs are a stark contrast to the victorious Female's satisfied smile. His sobs are partly from the pain, but mostly due to the realization that he's been soundly defeated. His world has been effectively shatterd by the Female and he is left with a deep, enduring respect for the Female. A part of him simply cannot comprehend what has taken place and this leads him to cry even harder as he recalls the humiliating details of his comeuppance. Every good spanking should end with the male profusely thanking the Female for the lesson.
*My new novel is slowly coming together. I hit a little snag, but it should be out there by the end of April.
