House of Sinn - Too eager to last. Starring Queen Lissandra










When a male creature is bound like this for Queen Lissandra, hes more than helpless to Her beauty and power, so eager to please, so mindless with pleasure that he cannot last. Wrapped in clean foil, teased with the aroma of his Mistresses pussy, face sat, there is only one outcome.His eager cock is overwhelmed with excitement and is bound to cum but no pleasure in sight for this pathetic male, no real orgasm, just long streams of cum with barely a touch. His Mistress hasnt granted him the right to cum so he will eat his own spunk in preparation for the punishment he's about to endure soon, very soon...

Club Stiletto FemDom - Sniff My Ass While I Stroke You To (Ruined) Orgasm. Starring Miss Jasmine










Well now, what do we have here? Miss Jasmine�s slave is bound in plastic wrap, with his cock tightly secured by a rope while she sticks a sounds unit into it. The slave squirms and moans, but any sounds he makes are muffled by Jasmine�s gorgeous ass. The slave thinks things seem to be getting easier, but Jasmine senses this and applies some nipple clamps to his cock. The clamps are attached by a rope which she tugs on and this really causes him buck. She removes the clamps, applies some lube to his cock, adds some spit, and starts to stroke his little micro-cock. She soon has him hard and tells him she�s going to give him an orgasm. She works his cock masterfully and gets him very close to the edge, lubing him from time to time with more spit.

Meanwhile, she continues to sit on his face and makes him fight for each breath. The slave is now moaning with pleasure. �Show me how much you love inhaling my ass� Jasmine demands. She tells him this is a reward for taking so much pain and she feels his balls swell in her hand. The slave is ready for the best orgasm of his life, but of course Jasmine knows precisely when he�s going to cum and lets go seconds before he can ejaculate. All the cum glides out of his body and his orgasm is totally ruined. She reaches again for the clamps. �I love t0rturing men right after they cum� she says with a giggle.

Mistress_Trish - Fully Fucking Up His Balls










Ive got some new shoes to break in on your nuts, Mistress Trish announces to slave m, as She gives a fast, forceful kick that has the toe of Her red high heels making a lovely pop as it spears the slaves balls. Trish is exquisite in black stockings as She connects with six more hard toe kicks that crumple slave m over. Mistress Trish long, legs pack brutal power as she continues cruel, beautiful kicks into the slaves swelling balls. After each kick, he doubles over and then forces himself to stand up for the next merciless ballbust, as Trish laughs at the agony She is inflicting. The slave fondles his balls in a futile attempt to soothe them, as the sadistic Mistress promises that if he takes enough punishment, She will generously facesit him for the next round of ball torture. Trish assaults his nuts with savage toe kick after savage toe kick, admiring the beautiful slaps and thuds the blows make, and laughing with joy over the slaves groans of anguish. After 20 mighty kicks, slave m sinks into a deep crouch, where Mistress Trish sneaks in another hard bust. After a few more kicks to leave the slaves balls totally swollen and sore, the slave is moved to the table. Trish grabs and squeezes the tender balls and uses them as leverage to pull Herself up on the table, where She sits on the slaves chest with Her perfect ass as She sends Her first barefoot kick into the balls. Mistress Trish nails slave ms testicles with kick after kick from Her long, lethal legs, using Her feet to push the slaves legs out of the way as he tries to guard his balls. Pushing against the wall to add force, Trish continues kicking and squeezing ms aching nuts. After a hard slap, Mistress places Her ass on the face of the lucky slave and then happily grabs, twists, and squeezes his balls. She sits on his chest for hard ball punches. Trish then stands over slave m for a few more ball kicks following by trampling and grinding that have slave m gasping, groaning, and crying in pain. Trishs glorious ass is view as She adds hard kicks and viselike squeezes that have the slave desperately begging for mercy. She sits on his chest for more kicks and then braces against the wall to grind Her full weight and power into his nuts, leaving the slave wailing in pain and Trish laughing with joy. Mistress Trish stops to give the balls a hard slap. She reaches down to admire the swollen balls She has caused, roughly squeezing them to add to the pain. Trish perches over the slave face to face to see his pain as She kicks and grabs his throbbing balls some more. A long, vicious sequence of kicks and squeezes has the slave shaking in pain and sobbing for mercy, again with a view of the lovely ass and legs that have slaves willingly embrace their doom. Mistress Trish then braces Herself against the slaves chest for stomps and kicks that have the slave futilely trying to protect his balls with his hand. Trish reaches in for a final ferocious two- ball squeeze, lifting with Her mighty legs to inflict excruciating pain, before She relaxes by sitting on the slaves chest and reaches back for a few final ball punches.

Asian Cruelty - A CRUEL MISTRESS RIPS FLESH OFF WITH A BRUTAL BEATDOWN. Starring Mistress Gaia










I have him where I want him, naked inside my dungeon with his arms stretched high and tightly tethered. He has not shown the proper respect, and I�m teaching it to him all over again with my � Paddle.� It�s a heavy, hardwood design with air holes that speed it to its target and increase the damage to the skin. Already he is marked all over his back and ass with raw evidence of my power and savagery.

As I slam away, he bellows in pain. I like that, and hit harder, then shove the business end of the paddle into his mouth. �You like it?� I pause to ask. �Yes, Mistress Gaia,� I hand-slap his face, spit a gooey gob into his open yap and return to whacking away at his sore behind with all the strength I possess�and renewed speed! I will teach him a painful lesson in respect for the Mistress.

Taste My Pain,
Mistress Gaia

Mistress_Trish - Viciously Impaled Balls










Mistress Trish desires to maximally damage slave m's balls with both pairs of her spiked shoes. She starts off kicking his balls quite deliberately and measured with the shorter spiked stilettos to open the slave up nicely. That doesn't last long and Trish is quickly kicking him hard and fast in the nuts to increase the amount that his balls weep gorgeous red tears for her. She treats him to dozens and dozens of hard, brutal, nut tearing punts with a few equally agonizing thigh and cock kicks mixed in for good measure. Now that the sadistic pleasure is flowing nicely Trish switches to the longer spiked stilettos to completely tear lucky slave m's poor aching balls apart. Again she starts more tempered to get a feel for how deeply the dozens of razor sharp spikes on her stilettos are digging into the slave's ball flesh but, again, quickly amplifies her punts to insanely hard kicks. A couple of dozen flesh ripping kicks in and the slave is howling in pain, leaking the sadists favorite fluid, but taking it like a champ. So Trish keeps going and going and going, making butchered and tenderized raw flesh of slave m's nuts. By the time Trish is satiated with what is now close to a hundred kicks the victim has completely saturated red balls. Much, of course, to Trish's delight.

Cybill Troy FemDom Anti-Sex League - Electro Sterilization










Once my patient's testicles are secured in the electric ball crusher, I inform him that he'll be undergoing an excruciating electrical sterilization. The voltage on his crushed, flattened testicles will be turned up higher and higher until he's completely sterile, fried from the inside out. To assist his neutering, I add electric bands to his cock, zapping it as well.
He screams and thrashes but we won't be finished until he's left sterile and emasculated.

THE MEAN GIRLS - Slaves Can Eat Dirt. Starring Princess Beverly










Princess Beverly enters the kitchen and see how the slave just wants to get some "real food� to eat from the fridge. Of course this is not allowed. With powerful whips and violent face slaps you punish the slaves for his misconduct while you also spitting into his mouth and face.

Then you tell the slave that if he wants �food�, it be scraps from you and your friends previous meals that are IN THE GARBAGE CAN! There is a lot of verbal abuse and face slaps to the slave.

You make the slave pull some old scraps out of the garbage can and you lead him out into the garden with a leash attached to his collar. The slave has to stop and must kneel down and watch as you pour the leftovers on wet, muddy soil. You grab his hair and press his head relentlessly into the now mud covered leftovers. With your boot on the back of his head, you command the slave to start eating his "real food".

While he eats he has to show you his face now and then before you push it back into the leftovers with your boot. Next you allow the slave the privilege of eating the mush from the soles of your boots. When he licks the mush from the soles, you spit right into his pathetic face.

***NOTE FROM PRINCESS BEVERLY: You can totally hear my friend �Miss T� off-camera laughing her ass off and mocking the fat-ass slave as we filmed this. It was her first time seeing me abuse my slaves and she thought it was fucking hilarious that I get to abuse these fucking losers and actually make $$$ off of THEIR suffering and humiliation!! Like, I explained to her that the more I make these idiots suffer and degraded them, the more $$$ I make! It really IS fucking hilarious when you think about it. If more women knew about this sh**tt, i swear they would all own slaves and do the same thing LOL.
