The “public use” fantasy in which a helpless woman is left tied and exposed for sex in a public place is a long-time fantasy staple, especially in the realm of hentai anime and manga fan art. Illustrations like the one above are scattered throughout the Bondage Blog archives, because I enjoy bondage sex and public humiliation themes. (Oh, really?) It doesn’t hurt that characters featured are often heroines drawn from throughout the realms of games, movies, and comics of every kind, so they are usually powerful, beautiful, and, not infrequently, pissed-off!
Of course, the truth of the matter is that actual bondage dating is somewhat slower and more laborious than regular dating as conducted by vanilla people. Even with modern internet assistance, it’s harder to find both a fetish connection and your desired romantic chemistry at the same time. Everyone who has ever suffered prolonged frustration with the fetish dating process may understand the fantasy of having access to (or being) a fully-objectified publicly available bondage sex amenity Riffing on the real-world-historical punishment of public confinement in the pillory or stocks, many fantasy artists have “gone there” by exploring the enormous potential of pillories as bondage sex furniture.

On the other hand, check out the fancy business attire on not only the woman stuck in this open-air sex pillory, but on the man who is enjoying her:
It’s hard to escape the implication that he’s someone who knows her, isn’t it? A co-worker, perhaps a subordinate from before she was convicted of embezzlement… so many possibilities!
