FemDom女性支配 — female domination Humor “It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best. That's because it understands eroticism from the inside-out--understands how it exists not in sweat and skin, but in the imagination.” - Roger Ebert.

“Belle de Jour” has been hailed as an erotic classic by many film critics the world over. This 1967 French foreign film (viewed with English subtitles) tells the story of a beautiful young woman named Severine, who is married to a handsome doctor. She loves her husband dearly but she denies him sex because she cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with him. Instead, she indulges in kinky and erotic fantasies within her mind and her dreams in order to fulfill her sexual desires. To Severine, vanilla普通性爱 — sex without kink sex with her husband just doesn’t do it for her.

Yet, it is Severine’s purity and sophistication that men, such as her husband, find to be attractive. She gives off the external persona of a woman who is wholesome, traditional and prudish. However, she possesses a sexuality that longs for untraditional and kinky sexual experiences, in particular sex that involves fetishes恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing and D&S where she is submissive顺从 — willing to obey.
