Sexuality Happens

Back in Denver in January, when I was doing this shoot, I did a lot more kinky specific/dungeon photos.  But I did ask the photographer to take a few for Q, to show her that I was missing her and thinking of her during the shoot, even though I hadn’t seen her in almost a week.

She really really loves the outfit I wore on my Crash Pad Series shoot, especially the red bra. She really likes this weird cover up maxi dress think I got from Torrid on mega sale.  My homemade (in college) snow leopard and black fleece boa/scarf matches the snow leopard and black dress perfectly.  And of course, I have my glasses, which she likes a lot. The ring around my neck is one she has given me with a beautiful back story behind it, and I wear it about 90% of the time, as it feel connective to her, her strength, her passion for social justice and more.

Is it the most glamorous picture of me? Not be leaps and bounds.  It’s a bit dark, it’s an odd angle, and all of that.  But it’s full of stuff Q would like, and that was the whole point of it, so I feel I have found success. And for those of you who don’t know or care about Q and all of that, there is boobies. So enjoy.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday to everyone!

As some of you know, this year the New York City Sex Bloggers Calendar is going national in their search for models. I really really really want to be a part of it.

I need your help times 2.

A) I’m trying to figure out a good “pose.”  As their site says, it should represent sexual sexual freedom, what it means to you, how you express it.  I had several ideas, from doing a blind lady justice thing with scales and hand cuffs and rainbows, to being suspended in rope with my cane. I just don’t know.  I express sexual freedom by being me; by being open and honest and educatory and transparent and loud and stubborn everyday. How do I express that visually? I’d love any ideas you may have.

B) I’m in need of a photographer.  I love love love working with Michael Barone, and I think this is right up his alley. However, he lives in Pennsylvania, and I won’t be going there before May. I also contacted a local photographer I’ve met here in Phoenix who I think does excellent work and would get the whole sexual freedom thing, but she hasn’t responded to me.  This is where you come in; do you know someone in the Phoenix/Tucson area that would be interested and does great photography?  Or someone in RI (I’ll be there March 15th and 16th) or NY (I’ll be on Long Island April 1-4th)?

Any advice, suggestions, support, etc would be very much appreciated!

This past week, while in San Francisco, I went to the pier with the adult part of They Belong to Us. While there, we stopped at this awesome sock store, where I got ranbow socks with little cat paw prints (which I may have lost already — we’ve unpacked and I can’t find them!), rainbow knee socks, the above rainbow leg warmers, and red/black/grey argyle socks with little skulls. The latter are a bit to small for my oh-so-msucled calfs, so I have to figure that out.

Anyways, it was all rainy and drizzly on Friday, and of course I wanted to wear a skirt anyways. So, in order to keep my legs dry-ish, and add a spash of color to my ensemble, you can see the above rainbow awesome-ness that was worn with a grey skirt, purple top and snow leopard scarf.  Yeah, I’m that queer.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday!

Have decided to start adding some picture content/links each week of hot queer, kinky, and/or sex positive porn.  Kink.com does a great job with their models, and this hot medical scene on Hogtied.com with Calico is no exception. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her, and she’s even hotter, sweeter and more brilliant in person, but she’s a great kink model as well.  Click here to enjoy more free photos!

I don’t tend to do a lot of lovely dovey/boudior style shoots. Most of mine are more fetishy/teachery/etc. However, I had a lot of fun doing this one, so I figure I’ll share it with you.  There will be more pictures, some slightly less flowery ish on their way.

I wasn’t sure about this shoot. It’s from the beginning of December, right when I gained the 20 lbs from moving/stress/etc. But I am who I am, regardless of my weight, and so, for you, today of all days, I share this picture. Enjoy!

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday!

I found this cow coat at a vintage thrift store in college.  It was $50, but it was 20%, and I came back to look at it about a million times that day, so I wound up buying it, thinking it was a ridiculous purchase.

One of the best decisions of my life.

I love this coat. It’s faux fur, in case you were even wondering (would never wear real fur). It’s warm, it’s fabulous, and it goes with any outfit; sexy, casual, dressy, you name it.  Plus, when I wear it, people always compliment, or at least come over to chat me up because I’m wearing such a crazy awesome coat.

Does it go with the leopard print heels? No, not really.  But do I love this coat, and this picture of it? But of course!

Oh yeah. It’s Olympic week at HNT. This is Olympic-y because I’m wearing a warm coat when it’s 65 degrees in AZ. In honor of the cold of Canada.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday y’all!

I know everyone is writing about Valentine’s day, cause that’s what you do on Feb 14th right?

Q and I don’t really believe in a specific day that you tell each other you love each other; we do it every day.

Plus, I wrote about Valentine’s Day and Singles Awareness Day last year.

So we won’t really be celebrating; I got her a binder that she wanted for her chest.  Yesterday, we went and got couples massages; hers to relax, mine to work on preventing migraines. And a lovely reader of mine actually bought me a mini vulva puppet, as per my request.

So instead, you get a few old school heart pin-up pictures by Ken Norcross circa 2008:

To those of you who may have missed the multiple but sometimes not attention grabbing memos, I am, when not writing under this pen name, Shanna Katz, M.Ed.  Sexuality Educator and fisting faciliator and all that jazz.

In order to find out where I’m going to put on classes/workshops/trainings,etc, to hire me to teach/consult/train/lecture/etc, to learn about me, to find out about sex coaching I can provide, to contact me regarding sexuality education, etc…

I’d like to present the new, and oh so improved (thanks to the lovely AAG!), and accented with leopard print (of course!),

ShannaKatz.com

That is all. Please enjoy. I have some blog posts there (more educations/news based/informative) than the ones on here, I have my schedule, contact info, and so on.  Have fun, and enjoy your Saturday.

When I was back in Denver in January, I got to do a fun shoot with the photographer Hawksdream, as well as part of the shoot with two other models.  One I know is ok having her face up online, as she has an MM profile.  The other one, I’m not sure, so you get a photo that has a delightful view of one of her best ass-ets. Her ass.

I had a lot of fun with this shoot, especially the teacher/school room part.  I really like the nuturing yet strict dominant role, and got to play with that a lot, both in setting up the shoots/poses/etc, but also in using rulers, switches, paddles, etc on two very sweet and “oh so innocent” (not!) school girls.  I’m hoping I can put up more from this part of the shoot, as they came out really well, but have to check with the other model first.

So happy half nekkid thursday! You get clevage, ass, and an adorable smile, all from different ladies. What more could you want?

I like breasts. I like Q’s, I like other people’s breasts. I even like my breasts.

I used to not like them. I used to hate them. I researched breast surgery…but not to make them bigger, no no, to make them smaller.  They gave me back pain, kept me from getting into outfits I wanted (most memorable was the sweetheart dance my senior year of HS – I was a 16 year old with DDs, and couldn’t find a single dress at JCPenny’s that my boobs fit into), they got me the kind of attention I didn’t want.

I decided against the reduction surgery because I learned about it, and how it could dull the sensation, and worse set, how they could just “grow back” in more than a third of the people having the surgery. I chose to just deal with them.

Over time, I’ve learned to love them. For sometime, I could have orgasms just from breast stimulation. That is not the case anymore, but it made me love them more. I learned that I can put my hands on/under them to keep warm, and that they’re good for carrying my cell phone when I have no pockets.

In fact, the other day, I realized that they’d shrank a bit.  I was now a small D/large C.  I wasn’t losing weight — to the contrary, I’d gained 20 pounds during and after the move. So why were they shrinking? And moreover, why was I upset?

Why? Because I had learned to love my body. Because I think MY breasts are beautiful, and anyone that disagrees with me can just bugger off. Yes, they’re big. Yes, they’re a little lopsided (ok, about a cup size in difference).  Either way, I love them, and I really love this picture of them.  So yay boobies, and all that jazz.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday!
