Forgot the paintings in the back there.

1st is basically Sapphrodite (a rework of Birth of Venus by Bouguereau), and the 2nd is some random original thingie (sorry for the bad oil filter I was very tired.)

Some day I'm gonna realize I CAN actually draw things without backgrounds, but it is not this day.

(Random thing inspired by browsing some old lingerie catalogs from the '90s, the set shoot was in some fancy old mansion and I'm like, let's gooo.)

Thank you for the share!

I'm Kettle, a queer purveyor of pastel poly porn 💕

I usually do spicy d&doodles, but I've been getting really into the gay space shenanigans of a Star Wars ttrpg.

Tagging in @fblimous.bsky.social @softpaints.bsky.social @lilegg.bsky.social and all their gorgeous babes ✨

Sex workers in Belgium are now entitled to health insurance, pensions, sick days, maternity leave, safety protections and formal employment contracts under a new law.

This is the first law of its kind in the world.

Me and who?
I love incorporating historical reenactment with my kinky BDSM play. (Screen Still from The Serpent Queen).

If any lovely sexy workers would be interested in herbal-infused body oils that aid in skin + muscle healing after BDSM scenes, aftercare sessions, or for erotic massage, HMU I just got some new products available in my apothecary very limited stock! 🌷💕🌻

Preparing for the possibility that we need to start hosting secret queer BDSM parties in the back of a clothing store & send paper erotica & pornography through the mail like I’m in “Professor Marston & the Wonder Women” and it’s the 1940s Comstock era again. Wbu?

Den of Venus produces publications on Holistic Kink + BDSM, sex work, and sexual healing through a somatic lens. Check out this article on my exploration as a rope top and rope bottom (when I’m typically a Domme). Link in bio~

BDSM gear doesn’t have to be black & red only. The Den of Venus style of play gear (& hopefully future studio space) is inspired by sapphics, Rococo & Victorian fashion decor + architecture, & has a color palette of maroons, rose pink, browns, gold, navy blue & teal, Pearl, whites and greens.

Because we are COV-conscious with immunocompromised organizers, providers, and community members all DoV events require masking, neg COV tests for events/parties, and likely will be adopting a flagging code like this 💕🌷🙏
Hosted a masked play party and had a little Covid cautious cruising guide. ✨

SEX WORKERS: the end of twitter is a fresh start for our community. the social divide between “big” and “small” accounts is diminished. this is our chance to connect with each other and build a strong sense of community because damned if we aren’t going to need to stick together in the coming years.

This is one of my most wicked toys in my personal collection. The wooden handle was hand-turned by DoV co-owner, my wife and Pet Katie, and the loop is hand-braided suede. It leaves a looped-welt that lasts for days and is often one of the last things I reach for in a play session. 🌷Customs open 🌷
