Tonight I went to a sex toy party (or shall I call it a Passions Party) at ’s house where the sexy showed us how to use dildos, vibrators, and all sorts of cool creams. Ten other hotties were there which was cool… I loved hearing all the comments people made when another sexy toy was pulled out of the bag. LOL wait till you all see what I got — I’ll let you know the minute it gets shipped here. I was sooo freakin’ horny when I left the party that I came home and had sex with chocolate. Gulp. Did I just admit that? LOL

Also a few site updates (yay now that I’m not sick and school is temporarily out for holidays I can actually get back on the ball) that you all may like:

* I added a section called Isabella’s Art which has 30 different drawings and paintings I’ve done (each on its own individual page). I used to have a similar page on my previous site but it only showed 4 or 5 pictures. Hope you all like it!

* I also added the link to that on all the pages for easy browsing and added the rss button to all the pages too

* I also added a link called John Holmes the Porn Cat which has photos of my kitty. A link to it can be found on my Sexy Stats page.

* Updated the Compliance 2257 notice for legal reasons

* I added 3 new buttons on the home page to emphasize some cool new features on my site

And right now my BF and I are working on a HOT new custom feature for my website which will blow ALL of you away. It’s being coded as we speak. I swear you all are going to faint when you see it.

Love

As you all may know (it’s also on my FAQ on my website), I’ve been a huge fan of Sunny Leone for years and love using her photos (with permission of course) on my website, journal, and other places. Since the age of 18 when she first started doing amateur nudes, she always told people that she would never do photos with dildos, insertion shots, nude photoshoots with other men, no intercourse, and a few other restrictions. I have always admired her for being a “classy” model, so-to-speak… and love her for her shyness. That’s one reason I’ve used her photos to portray the type of phone sex I do is because she is really classy, shy, and also really sweet and fun which is similar to my own personality.

But now, as of Dec. 28, 2005… she is now an official porn star. Her Vivid video was released tonight. I watched it and was both turned on as well as slightly disappointed. She did several scenes on the video (none of them male-female, although she did a male-female sexy clothed scene). She did a 3-girl lesbian scene (very hot) and a 2-girl lesbian scene which showed vaginal penetration of a glass dildo and did the 69 with her. There was also a boy-girl-girl scene in which she had no contact with the man but had oral sex with the girl while the other girl sucked him off. It was really sexy! All these years I always wondered what she would look (and sound) like while having an orgasm. She’s done other striptease videos and soft-porn type videos with other women, but nothing as raw and pornographic as this. It was REALLY sexy and she came really hard! But a part of me is slightly disappointed that she let her guard down to do this. I miss the sweet, demure Sunny who was too shy to do scenes where she’s laying upside down while getting pounded by a hot girl.

Am I wrong for feeling this way? I love seeing her successful (on Howard Stern, VH1, on Ja Rule music videos, etc.) but the last thing I want is to see her eventually doing a male gang bang.

I think it’s hot that porn stars do gang bangs (trust me, I even have a video where a girl fucks 500 men!) but please… not my sweet Sunny. I’ve met her in real life SEVERAL times, have done photoshoots with her, and have been a big fan for years. This is like a dream and a nightmare at the same time. I now have a different image of her and I almost fear it’ll rub off on me during the calls. But hey, that could be a good thing.

You all can see the video on Vivid.com if you are a member. If you just watched it, call me. I’d love to hear your comments!

Some people ask me if I lose money by telling people I am not Sunny. The truth is, I don’t. My income has tripled since I first put that info on my site a long time ago. I guess some callers find honesty just as appealing as fantasy, if not more.

Tonight is Christmas Eve so I’d like to wish those who celebrate Christmas a happy one. And those of you who don’t celebrate it, well hope you have a happy holiday or if you’re offended by holy days or pagan days or drunk days or crazy days, then by all means - just have a kick ass day.

But whether you celebrate it or not, I ask that EACH one of you do something very special. Every year I put the same link up (around thanksgiving and christmas) when people are feeling generous. Don’t worry it doesn’t cost money. This is something you do out of the kindness of your heart and requires absolutely no effort. I ask that each one of you click this link here: TheHungerSite.com and click their link on the front page. That’s it.

By clicking that one link, you are purchasing 1.1 cups of food for a human being to eat this Christmas. Apparently there are sponsors that donate money for every time we click. SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK ONCE and you’ve helped feed someone.

Please. It’s Christmas. And whether you like holidays or not, you can at least make someone feel like you’re their personal little Santa.

I love you all

First of all, I want to thank you all for the outpouring of letters I received in my email box over the last few days. It means so much to me that you all care. People wrote me who I didn’t even realize READ my journal and it just touched my heart in a beautiful way.

I apologize for not responding in a timely fashion. I’ve been sick since Sunday night after visiting my brother, so I’ve been confined to my bed. Haven’t logged in for calls in two days and am feeling really under the weather. I have the chills, cold sweat, sinus congestion, headache, sore throat, bad cough, runny nose, dizziness, etc.

I’m still trying to recover so bear with me and I’ll be back doing phone sex in no time. And by the way, I WILL be doing calls when I’m in Seattle as long as I get cell reception.

I’m going to take a warm bath and head back to bed and try to get well.

Love

Just a few things:

* Now that my paper has been graded and the semester is over, I unlocked the friends-only post that showed the contents of the pantyboy research paper I wrote. So you can read it here if you wish. Lots of you have read it already if you were on my LJ friends list. However some callers have shown interest who rarely read my journal. I ALSO added it to the pantyboy section of my website, which you can view by clicking here: Feminine Men and their love of Dominant Women”

* I’m shooting a hot lingerie shoot with a sexy half-hispanic model in about an hour … so I better get prepared. I’ll try to post a pic or two of her if she lets me.

* If all goes well, I’m going to drive up and see my brother TONIGHT!!!! I hope nothing stops me. Things always seem to come up. I’m going to try my damndest to see him tonight around 6pm.

* Going on a date with my BF tomorrow *swoon*

* I’m leaving for Seattle on the 22nd. I can’t wait!!!

My bf and I saw the movie Narnia tonight, and I have to tell you all how amazing it was! Absolutely brilliant. Growing up reading those books by C.S. Lewis, I let my imagination run wild. When I was a kid, reading those novels were my escape from a painful and forgettable reality. The minute I’d read into the stories, it seemed all the pain in my life (as a kid) went away. The movie did the book justice. It was just as good, if not better than the book. It captured the heart, soul, life, and imagination that the book did.

Sometimes I forget how nice it was to HAVE AN IMAGINATION as a kid. It seems that the older we get, the less prone we are to imagine worlds that don’t exist, play out imaginary fantasies in our heads, etc. That’s one thing I miss about being an adolescent. Being able to close my eyes and imagine a world far away without rationalizing things or disregarding things as false. It seems that now that I’m an adult, things appear immature, childish, or cutesy if it doesn’t live to my reality.

This movie made me remember what it was like to be a kid again. And I swear… I will jump on the bed tonight. I will run with scissors in my hands. I will draw on the wall with crayons. I will sit too close to the television. And I will stand in front of the freezer for ten minutes.

Ok maybe I won’t draw on the walls. I do have to pay rent. But you get the idea LOL

So last night Kev and I went to Outback and had yummy food, then we went to Target cause it was right next door. I bought a cheap $30 heater that will at least keep my hands warm when I’m downstairs. I like it cause I can press a button and it moves from side to side to warm a wider area. Anyway while the two of us were looking at fishnet stockings in the lingerie section we ran into Arturo (I don’t know his LJ name - anyone know?) and which was really nice. It’s always a good fuzzy feeling when you run into familiar faces in places you least expect. My shopping cart was full of white towels (cum towels if you must know), red & black lingerie, a heater, fireplace equipment, and other domestic stuff. It’s a good thing they didn’t ask what the towels were *winks*

My submissive weed slave bought me the latest series of tv show 24: Season 4 the dvd set so while my bf was snoring in my bed at the early hour of midnight… I decided to stay up till 4am and watch 4 episodes of it. Then hopped in bed and snuggled with him. *hot* Then I woke up at 5pm. That’s right. 5pm I woke up. What a long sleep!! And guess what I did? I went back to watching more episodes. I just started watching it last night and already I am up to EPISODE #11. I have been watching 11 hours of this and loving it!!!! Hehe only 13 episodes to go
Life is good. And I love you guys. You rock!

School ends for me on Dec. 15th — then I’ll be available full-time! YAY! Let the countdown begin!

So last night my boyfriend spent the night with me for the first time. We cuddled all night under the covers while I tried to ignore his snoring. He was soooo warm and cuddly. It’s been over a year since I let a man spend the night with me in my bed. And I kinda liked it. A lot.

Last night I had the most embarrassing sexual experience of my entire life. It was so embarrassing I think I’d rather hide it behind this LJ cut.

*sigh*

So there was this Godiva chocolate cheesecake I ate at the Cheesecake Factory last night with my boyfriend, Kevin. Let’s just say that after suppressing several orgasms in my seat, I asked the server to give us to-go boxes so I could enjoy it in the privacy in my own home. So we left, but I was still VERY turned on by the cheesecake. I can’t tell you just how delicious it was! My panties were soaked just walking back to the parking lot. I was incredibly turned on and ready to have sex at that very moment, but told Kevin I could make it by the time I got home. Anyway, we needed to stop by a department store to pick up a filing cabinet. At first Kevin was like, “Are you sure you want the cabinet now? You can always get it tomorrow since you’re all worked up.” But I knew I truly needed it. So we pulled over into the nearest department store to pick it up and also to find a bathroom.

I needed to go to the bathroom desperately because my panties were absolutely soaked and I needed to relieve myself and masturbate. I was trying not to have orgasms in Kevin’s truck because I was afraid I’d get his seat all wet. I’m serious. I’m a gusher and I leave buckets of cum. So we parked and he practically had to support me into the bathroom my legs were so weak from holding back all this cum with my pussy muscles (um I do a LOT of keegle muscles, so trust me I was weak).

So I run into the bathroom, and I don’t see anyone in there. No feet under the stalls. Whew, good! I sit down on the toilet seat and pull down my panties and started saying things. Now keep in mind that one of the main ways for me to orgasm is to talk out loud. I’ve been conditioned to do that since I’m a phone sex operator, so I practically HAVE to do it in order to have good orgasms. So I said all sorts of things like “Oh Kevin! Suck my clit, harder, harder!” and “Cum on my face” and “God I want you, Kevin” a bunch of sexy lines like that… and even some not-so-normal things like “Suck my cock and let me fuck your ass” and “Tell me you’re a geek! Tell me you’re a girl!” and about two or three minutes worth of sexually explicit lines. I’m telling you, these are not things I would say in public.

Now also keep in mind that I’m a squirter, when I ejaculate… it travels. Thankfully I was on the toilet in the public restroom but I was SO turned on I absolutely couldn’t stop myself. So every time I would say a word or a phrase like “Oh God I want you right now! Fuck me!” then I would cum and ejaculate in the toilet. You could PHYSICALLY HEAR IT. Talk. Cum. Talk. Cum. Talk. Cum. It was like a sexy ejaculation marathon.

After about THREE ENTIRE LONG MINUTES, I heard the sound of toilet paper and then “Ahem” with a woman clearing her throat in the VERY NEXT STALL. I got deathly quiet. I HAD NO IDEA she was IN THERE!!! I stopped making all my sounds, but couldn’t stop cumming so even though I wasn’t speaking - you could still hear me squirting into the toilet. I was holding my mouth with my hands trying not to say anything…. it was soooo embarrassing. Absolutely mortifying.

I am usually pretty good with controlling my orgasms and waiting till I get home to let it out but I absolutely was SO incredibly turned on, I just couldn’t help it.

Needless to say, when I walked out of the bathroom, Kevin was waiting for me by the door. And that short, conservative Hispanic lady looked right at us. I couldn’t look her in the eye.

Here is the research paper I mentioned in my previous entry. Hope it’s ok… I have to turn it in today at 2:20pm PT so all feedback is welcome. It’s pretty long but definitely an interesting read! Keep in mind that my professor wanted it to be written in a first-person point-of-view as well as using sources. So I used experiences from my own life.

Throughout my years as a professional dominatrix I have always been drawn to submissive males, not only because they show their adorable and obedient feminine sides, but because it allows me to showcase power I wouldn’t normally be allowed to use in today’s society.

Most of my submissives may be biologically male, but some are offended when they are called “men” simply because they don’t feel their gender was assigned fairly. Sure they may have been born with male genitals, but one thing I’ve learned is that gender, sexual preference, and sexual identity are all held together by a very thin thread. These submissive, effeminate men have been my sole source of income for years. I work full-time interacting with people confused about their sexuality. Almost all of them have one thing in common: they love being dominated and treated like girls.

When I first heard of Carl Jung’s theory of anima and animus, my first impression was that perhaps this psychologist was well aware of the femininity that men face every day and the challenges that women must overcome.

I grew up in conservative Alabama, in the core of the Bible Belt, surrounded by gentlemen trying to be chivalrous in their virility. Throughout my childhood, I believed that men had their stereotypical roles and women had theirs. Women in suits were lesbians. Men in pink were homosexual. Looking at the world today through adult eyes, I see there is absolutely no way to simply ask “Are you gay?” or “Are you straight?” simply because the world is not as black and white as it appeared to me years ago.

“A part of our persona is the role of male or female we must play. For most people that role is determined by their physical gender. But Jung, like Freud and Adler and others, felt that we are all really bisexual in nature. When we begin our lives as fetuses, we have undifferentiated sex organs that only gradually, under the influence of hormones, become male or female. Likewise, when we begin our social lives as infants, we are neither male nor female in the social sense. Almost immediately — as soon as those pink or blue booties go on — we come under the influence of society, which gradually molds us into men and women.

In all societies, the expectations placed on men and women differ, usually based on our different roles in reproduction, but often involving many details that are purely traditional. In our society today, we still have many remnants of these traditional expectations. Women are still expected to be more nurturant and less aggressive; men are still expected to be strong and to ignore the emotional side of life. But Jung felt these expectations meant that we had developed only half of our potential.” (Boeree 1997)

Sometimes a man might browse lingerie stores with timid eyes, afraid a female behind the counter might judge him. Or worse, what if another man notices him there? Many of these men have prominent feminine sides, called anima, which may influence their lives more than their masculine sides.

These people tend to struggle emotionally, often questioning themselves and their sexual identity when they find urges to wear feminine clothing. These clothes can range from lingerie which aid in masturbation to wearing girdles and skirts which make them feel passable as women.

Sometimes they go to shoe stores and pretend to shop for wives or girlfriends when purchasing items such as heels or pumps in fear they won’t be a “manly man” if they shop for themselves.

Sometimes people discover their counter-gendered lives through dreams where they are surrounded by satin or silk. This may lead them to believe they actually want to WEAR the fabric, which is known to arouse many sensations when in contact with skin. Analytic therapy allows people to use word associations and dream interpretations to help make sense of their perplexing lives. On the other hand, not all dreams have a need for interpretation at all and are simple in their context.

Carl Jung once said: “…the dream comes in as the expression of an involuntary unconscious psychic process beyond the control of the conscious mind. It shows the inner truth and reality of the patient as it really is: not as I conjecture it to be, and not as he would like it to be, but as it is.” (Bennett 1983)

Jung believed that every human being has a persona, a mask that people wear every day of their lives. One classic example to support this theory, is a retired military veteran who once served as Chief of the Coast Guard in Florida. He lived every day of his adult life as a respected, revered, decorated officer. He spent over twenty years training soldiers to be strong men and had wives who viewed him as the “perfect gentleman.” Everywhere he went, people always saw him as a mustache-wearing, muscular man.

But since the age of six, he hid a little skeleton in his closet. He liked to dress like a girl. None of his Coast Guard buddies knew it. None of his wives suspected it. Throughout his childhood and adult life, he put on his daily persona so the world would accept his manliness as they saw appropriate. This man eventually became my temporary live-in partner. He became my protégé, my conquest. I wanted to know everything there was to know about this alternative lifestyle. I wanted to understand the need for any man to want to wear negligee and feel like a lady.

“No man is so entirely masculine that he has nothing feminine in him… there is no human experience, nor would experience be possible at all, without the intervention of a subjective aptitude… Thus the whole nature of man presupposes woman, both physically and spiritually. His system is tuned in to woman from the start, just as it is prepared for a quite definitive world where there is water, light, air, salt, carbohydrates, etc…. an inherited collective image of woman exists in a man’s unconscious.” (Jung’s words to Bennett 1983 p.124)

It is apparent that men have feminine sides. Assuming that this also can mean having a submissive side, I have concluded that submissive men (when expressing their feminine attributes) will be drawn to assertive women. Women who actively show their dominant side, also called animus, tend to be respected and taken seriously. Men who have assumed their roles as submissives and women who have taken their roles as dominants are both likely to complement each other sexually.

During the six months I resided with the retired veteran, I began to notice things about myself I had never realized before. I enjoyed telling him what to do, ordering him to cook all meals and demanding he only serve it when dressed in feminine attire. Anytime I stepped out of my persona as a stereotypical “lady” and let out my assertive side, he became sexually aroused. He worshipped me, dressed like a woman 24 hours a day, obediently finished every task and chore, and massaged my feet at a snap of a finger. He even tattooed my name on arm, permanently branding him.

His anima went from being relatively quiet and hidden to being the prominent factor in his life. Jung describes the anima in his own words:

“She stands for the loyalty which in the interests of life he must sometimes forego; she is the much needed compensation for the risks, struggles, sacrifices that all end in disappointment; she is the solace for all the bitterness of life. And, at the same time, she is the great illusionist, the seductress, who draws him into life with her Maya-and not only into life’s reasonable and useful aspects, but into its frightful paradoxes and ambivalences where good and evil, success and ruin, hope and despair, counterbalance one another. Because she is his greatest danger she demands from a man his greatest, and if he has it in him she will receive it.[The Syzygy: Anima and Animus," CW 9ii, par. 24]”

Living independently helped me discover things about myself and my own identity that started to make sense to me. My dominatrix lifestyle began to pay off financially in big ways. While dominating men over the telephone, my income soon tripled. When speaking to a submissive man on the phone, I would refer to him as my “lesbian lover.” This usually excited the man, which ultimately meant more income for me.

“The anima and animus can influence a person in either a positive or negative manner. If a man is under the influence of the positive anima he will show tenderness, patience, consideration, and compassion. The negative anima manifests as vanity, moodiness, bitchiness, and sensitivity to hurt feelings. A woman with a positive animus shows assertiveness, control, thoughtful rationality, and compassionate strength. The negative animus reveals in strong opinions, ruthlessness, destructive forces, and “always the last word”. Both men and women are on the path to their own integration and must struggle with the interpersonal ramifications of the anima and the animus.” (Johnston 2005)

Sometimes a submissive man desires domination because he lives in positions of power. The very idea of his power and control being stripped away by cruel, seductive women generally arouses him. Some of my most loyal clients are politicians, judges, lawyers, doctors, professors, and people who are highly respected and credible. However, once he takes on the role of a female while I take on the role of a sweet but cruel Mistress, he gets a chance to step out of his usual reality.

“The boy develops a normal male persona (mask), and enters the world. He goes to school and follows a career. The urge to actualize his repressed female potentials manifests itself in dreams and fantasy. At midlife, he experiences unhappiness due to the unrealistic and limiting nature of his masculine persona. At this time he may feel a strong, even overpowering interest in wearing women’s clothes, or of being a woman in fantasy.

This urge is natural and healthy: it is because his completeness as a person requires expressing the potentials he has repressed. Jung’s theories suggest that in order to be fully self-actualized, a man needs to ‘integrate’ his anima. He needs to get back in touch with his positive feminine characteristics. Crossdressing seems like a step to this.

The anima theory implies that a crossdresser can, once he allows his female traits back into awareness, proceed to the step of complete personality integration. Then he is fully equipped to live life. His various potentials are harmonized and able to work together. Such a person can accomplish great things. On the other hand, if integration does not occur, the man lives divided. A simple analogy would be that of like trying to drive a car with the brakes on. But perhaps a better analogy would be like trying to drive a car with two engines, each pulling the car in a different direction.

The idea then, is that the crossdresser does not literally wish to be a woman. He is trying to become himself fully. Crossdressing is, in a certain sense, a positive victory for the natural urge to integrate the personality, and to activate all potentials.“ (Anderson 2001)

Men may all have animas, but that doesn’t mean each one enjoys his submissive, feminine side equally. While some men may enjoy exaggerating their animas, such as being slapped around while prancing around in a ballerina outfit, others may be appalled by the idea. Some are simply entertained with the thought of being forcibly feminized, such as a mild threat to be tied up and forced to wear silky panties. Not all men have an equal balance of femininity and masculinity, which may confuse their self-concepts.

Some may argue that perhaps their persona is worn only at work and around others. Others feel that the mask is worn only in fantasy. I disagree. I believe all these men were born with feminine attributes that stem back to childhood and to disregard these girlish qualities is forcing them to hide in society. A feminine man’s persona may only appear as a mask to those who aren’t open-minded enough to see themselves. Almost all men have a feminine side, and most women have an assertive, masculine side that is often misconstrued as being “out of character.”

Men look up to women in power for many reasons:

Carl Jung once said, “What can a man say about woman, his own opposite? I mean of course something sensible that is outside the sexual program, free of resentment, illusion, and theory. Where is the man to be found capable of such superiority? Woman always stands just where the man’s shadow falls, so that he is only too liable to confuse the two. Then, when he tries to repair this misunderstanding, he overvalues her and believes her the most desirable thing in the world.” (CW – 10)

The very subject of sexual identity of both males and females is often confusing. Gender differences are argued throughout the world. “There are two major problems with the notion that masculine and feminine constitute universal principles of a cultural gender difference: (1) that it is self-evident and natural for men and women to fit into certain roles and attitudinal types because of their sexual structures or functions; and (2) that the anima complex of the male personality is subsumed under the same category as actual women…[leading to] confusion between male images of female people and the subjectivity (actual experiences) of female people. (Gender & Soul, p. 164)”

I hope that, as our society becomes more liberal and open-minded, more men might be able to feel comfortable letting out their anima without having to hide behind an overly-masculine persona.

All humans hide behind masks. It’s a technique that assures our survival. It’s part of how we try to invite acceptance from others. My hope is that one day men won’t feel that they have to hide their anima.

Submissive men may always be drawn to assertive, demanding women because of several reasons. First, a man being talked “down to” as a form of humiliation can be considered highly erotic. Secondly, a woman in a powerful position can be considered a form of “taboo” and therefore confuse the mind into turning the situation sexual. Thirdly, the act of serving someone sexually (whether demanded or seduced into doing so) is highly erotic for both partners – so having a beautiful woman tell a lowly man to kiss her manicured toes will certainly excite and arouse him.

Another reason, commonly overlooked, is that being forced to dress like a woman in the presence of another is like having all of one’s power stripped away. The act of losing control is often more erotic than sex itself.

Ironically, even though the submissive willfully loses control, (by submitting himself in bondage or confining situations) he is actually using his masculinity to overpower his femininity. For instance, a submissive man finds a Mistress and starts off by informing her of his likes/dislikes, explaining his boundaries, discussing what is expected of her, possibly determining payment for services rendered, and requiring the use of “safe words.” Although the man is asking to be “owned and controlled,” he is essentially setting rules - which, as society suggests, is a masculine quality.
