Wanted: Femdom Fun

because…. I do love a bit of frivolous femdom fun over the summer holidays, the sun’s blazing, and I’m in charge!

Deep in the heart of The English Mansion, evil genius Mistress Sidonia von Bork, a sadistic domina with a glare that could make a gargoyle flinch; grew weary of the endless parade of wannabe minions answering her merciless ad for 24/7 servitude, and a one-way ticket to oblivion for those who dared fall short of her impossible standards. Dozens had already come and gone, their egos shredded and bodies broken, each deemed WRONG for her exacting tastes, the latest to grovel at her spiked heels, thought his boot-polishing prowess would suffice, only to fumble her labyrinthine rules and vanish through the Mansion’s trapdoor like his predecessors, his final plea drowned by Sidonia’s cackle as she reset the ad, ready to sift through the next batch of doomed hopefuls…

Scene Saints: Mary Millington ~ Counter-Cultural Icon

I’m writing a series of articles spotlighting influential figures, whom I’ve dubbed “Scene Saints,” to honor and recognise their vital contributions in laying the foundational building blocks of the kink community.

Mary Millington ~ Counter-Cultural Icon
Saint Mary Millington 30 November, 1945 – 19 August, 1979

The Rise of Women Creators
In 2025, women dominate OnlyFans, making up 84% of creators globally (Social-Rise.com, 2024; SimpleBeen.com, 2025). But who was the first woman to produce and sell her own content directly to fans? Meet Mary Millington, the UK’s pioneering female creator who, as early as 1978, blazed a trail for today’s female-led adult industry revolution. Unashamedly producing and distributing her own erotic content to a devoted audience, Mary capitalized on an eager but s
ocially and legally suppressed 
market, setting a precedent for women in the adult industry.

Mary was far more than a provocative image or stereotypical blonde bimbo, she was a a provocateur and a rebel! Challenging censorship, hypocrisy and societal norms, she famously published police and government contact details in her magazines to protest raids on her sex shop. Earning a conditional discharge and a lasting reputation as a defiant superstar.

In the repressive 1970s, when sex was stigmatized as a hushed, “lights-off” affair and pornography was deemed sleazy and viewing it criminalised, Mary Millington’s fearless attitude ignited a transformative shift in societal views on sexuality and sexual imagery. Her pioneering efforts sparked a movement that transformed attitudes toward adult entertainment, while also paving the way for women to take control of their erotic imagery and income through modern platforms.

Meet
Mary
In the 1970s, there was a pretty English girl-next-door whose rise to the top was meteoric, controversial and scandalous. Her name was Mary Millington Britain’s then only sex superstar.
Born Mary Ruth Quilter in 1945 in Middlesex, England, Mary rose from a modest background to become Britain’s top adult film star of the 1970s. After a quiet childhood and brief marriage, she entered glamour modeling in magazines like Knave and Men Only, and starred in adult films. Her girl-next-door charm and bold persona, amplified by her partnership with ‘adult publications entrepreneur’ David Sullivan, made her a household name tied to the era’s sexual liberation.

Come Play with Me
Mary Millington’s breakthrough came with the 1977 British sex comedy Come Play with Me, directed by George Harrison Marks and produced by David Sullivan. This risqué, ‘Benny Hill-style’ romp, light on plot but heavy on full nudity, daring for its era and X-rated, became a cultural hit. Mary’s charisma shone, making her the film’s star. Its 201 week run at Soho’s Moulin Cinema earned a Guinness World Record for Britain’s longest continuous theatrical run, cementing her enduring allure. (Think 50 Shades of Gray, not terribly good but it exploded into a massive, era-defining phenomenon.)

Beyond Come Play with Me, Mary Millington starred in soft-core comedies like The Playbirds, modeled, and ventured into hardcore pornography. Her bold bisexuality, advocacy for sexual openness, and claims of high-profile lovers, from Prime Minister Harold Wilson to Diana Dors (likely publicity exaggerations), fueled her mystique. Mary’s defiance of 1970s Britain’s prudishness championed sexual openness, aligning with the era’s evolving attitudes toward sex and censorship.

Mary Millington’s International Sex Centre
In May 1978, Mary opened her own sex shop, Mary Millington’s International Sex Centre, in Tooting, South London.  The store, which included a 50-seat basement cinema, sold adult magazines, sex toys, and illegal/hardcore Continental pornography, drawing significant attention from both customers and authorities. Mary relentlessly promoted her shop in adult magazines beaming “Meet me there!”  Her Admirers and customers sought autographed magazines and polite pecks on the cheek. Her vocal criticism of censorship and willingness to stock explicit material led to frequent police raids, which she claimed involved harassment and demands for protection money. Persistent law enforcement crackdowns and her defiant act of publishing police and government contacts in her magazines escalated her legal battles and fueled her paranoia, hastening her tragic decline.

No Happy Ending… But A Legacy
Mary Millington’s fame came at a heavy cost. Legal battles, including a 1977 obscenity trial at the Old Bailey, compounded by depression, addiction issues, and financial woes, overwhelmed her. On August 19, 1979, at age 33, she died by overdose at her Surrey home, a tragic end to a vibrant but brief life.

Her films, though seen as lowbrow smut by some, delivered unpretentious fun, resonating with audiences weary of Hollywood gloss. They were integral to the ‘British sex comedy’ genre, capitalizing on a growing audience eager to defy conservative sexual norms and embrace a more open, playful exploration of sex and nudity. Mary Millington, one of the wealthiest and most prolific women working in the 1970s sex industry, left an enduring legacy as a British counter-culture icon, sex-positive porn pioneer and sex symbol. Her prominent campaign to relax Britain’s strict anti-pornography laws, despite triggering police harassment and multiple trials, cemented her as a fearless trailblazer and advocate for sexual freedom.

A Very “Blue” Plaque
Mary Millington was honored with a blue plaque at the former Moulin Cinema (now a cocktail bar) at 42–44 Great Windmill Street, Soho, London, where her iconic soft-porn film Come Play With Me ran for a record-breaking four years. Unveiled in April 2016, the plaque celebrates her impact on the British sex industry. David Sullivan, her former partner and West Ham United co-chairman, told The Mirror newspaper in 2016,
 “She would be very proud. It’s probably the first recognition for any woman from the British sex industry. To set up a record that stands 40 years later, we’re all very proud of it. She was a liberal and as long as the act was legal and between consenting adults she felt people should be able to see whatever they wanted.”

(Though styled like an English Heritage plaque, the organization clarified it was not involved. Here at TEM, we say kudos to those who honored her legacy!)

Respectable: The Mary Millington Story
Mary Millington’s legacy endures, as detailed in Simon Sheridan’s biography Come Play with Me: The Life and Films of Mary Millington and his documentary Respectable: The Mary Millington Story. These portray a sensitive, nonjudgmental woman beyond her glamorous image. (Her final role was in the Sex Pistols’ mockumentary The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle, 1980.)

D/s Relationships & Responsibility: Submission Is A Precious Gift

Keep It Locked Up Somewhere Safe!

Submission Is A Precious Gift

Submission is a precious gift and domination a hefty responsibility.

D/s Relationships & Responsibility
Submission is not merely an act but a profound gift, one that should be nurtured and respected. It represents trust, vulnerability, and a willingness to yield control, offering a unique form of intimacy and connection. On the other side, domination is not just a role but a substantial responsibility. It demands a deep understanding, respect, and commitment to the well-being of the submissive partner.

To truly honour the gift of submission:

◊  Respect: Recognize the courage it takes to submit. Treat every act of submission with the reverence it deserves, understanding that it is bestowed with trust.

◊  Care: Ensure that the submissive’s boundaries are not only recognized but actively protected. Domination should never lead to harm – physical, psychological/ emotional (affecting their mental health) or financial, but should instead foster a safe space for exploration.

◊  Communication: Continuous, clear, and honest communication is vital. Domination requires listening to the submissive’s needs, desires, and feedback to navigate the dynamics healthily.

◊  Consent: All actions must be consensual, with consent being an ongoing process, not a one-time agreement. The dominant must always be attuned to the submissive’s physical and emotional state. Limits must be set, understood and respected.

◊  Education: Both parties should educate themselves about BDSM practices and safety. Play activities should be safe and sane, with all participants being fully aware of the risks involved. A responsible dominant is always safeguarding their partner.

◊  Empowerment: Domination should empower the submissive, helping them to grow, explore, and find joy in their submission, rather than diminishing or exploiting them.

◊  Accountability: If mistakes happen, the dominant should own them, learn from them, and strive to do better. Dominance comes with the duty to reflect on one’s actions and their effects on the submissive.

Submission and domination are intertwined in a dance of mutual respect, trust and care. Treating submission as the precious gift it is means embracing domination as a hefty responsibility, ensuring that the power exchange is healthy, consensual, and enriching for all involved.

The Wheel Of Fortune – Femdom Comic Strip

The Wheel Of Fortune – Femdom Comic Strip

Mistress Sidonia stood resplendent in her leather-clad glory, super thigh boots, tight opera gloves, and a bold peak cap casting a commanding shadow over her beautiful face. Today, Mistress is playing a wicked game with her slave making him spin her Wheel of Fortune.

“Did I say Wheel of Fortune, maybe that should be misfortune! Look at you, poor slave, ready to spin My wheel. Let’s find out what fate has in store for you. That gorgeous, manly figure in the shadows might just be your destiny. Come on, slave, stop acting like that!” she snapped, her tone brooking no delay.

Her collared slave knelt before her, trembling with anticipation.

“Spin the Wheel of Fortune! I want to know what your task will be. Get on with it, let’s find out your fate?” The wheel creaked as the slave’s shaking hands set it spinning, its single option blurring.

“Oh, the anticipation,” Mistress Sidonia teased. “It’s all up to chance, which slot will my wheel land on? Chance doesn’t play favorites, it’s the great equalizer – except when Mistress Sidonia sets up the game. Then, of course, the odds are always stacked in my favor! I win, you lose, slave. Always.”
The wheel slowed, Sidonia’s eyes gleamed.

“The Wheel of Fortune has made the decision, and you must submit, it’s a…… Blow Job” she declared.

“There’s no point in hesitating, I will strictly ensure my rules are followed.” Her gloved hand gripped his chin.

“Now, you were given a fair chance on the wheel, and this is the option you received, so stop moaning and get to work! I want you serving that huge alpha cock right now.”

Her voice turned icy. “Now get to work, bitch. You do this for me, I want his cock down your throat, you will gobble on it until his cum spurts out and then you’ll swallow it down or be whipped!”

“Not enough enthusiasm! Perhaps this will spur your on!”
CRACK,  CRACK,  CRACK

As he knelt, a huge cock in his mouth, the slave felt Mistress Sidonia’s single-tail start lashing his back.
“Better!” she cried.
