Seeing Old Friends and Meeting New Friends - Introducing Elle McKenzie to ENF

 Last month was a busy one for me shoot wise because unlike my typical pattern of shooting once per month, I had the luck of shooting twice in September when Izzabella Robbins was coming back to my neck of the woods looking to shoot. This time, she was bringing her friend, Elle McKenzie. Elle is a model who often acts in rope bondage scenes. Shortly after I heard they were both coming, another film producer I see in the community, I-Love-Rope-Bondage also told me about how great it was to work with Elle as a rope bondage model and that she had never acted in ENF before. I wasn't sure if Elle would be interested so I had three clips ideas, ones that could be used if Elle declined, and two that could be altered to include Elle as a character if she said yes, much to my delight she was on board for it and the race was on to prepare to shoot a video game parody I had in mind for almost a year, a Resident Evil parody that would become Resident Nudist.

 Resident Nudist was originally written as a POV solo model shoot in which the heroic police character would lead the survivor through a house of monsters only to be stripped and humiliated in embarrassing panties. Eventually she escapes but is naked. Although she is safe, she becomes frustrated at the commune because food, weapons, and supplies are not enough, she has sexual needs. This would lead her to finding one of the monsters and have sex with them, with an amusing end scene where she and the monster share a cigarette in bed right before they are caught.

Once Elle signed on, I knew there would be potential to make this more exciting with the addition of a scientist that leads the officer around advising her to take items. In the original game, you have to carry items to survive, some of them weapons, others are objects needed to unlock traps to get to the next stage. You have a limited amount of space to carry things and some of the challenge is figuring out what to let go. With this idea, I thought it would be a great way to have someone's pants fall down, wouldn't it be funny if in having to carry so many items, her pants would eventually surrender to gravity and fall, exposing her embarrassing underwear?

 Re-writing the script with two characters went by quickly and I loved the revision. I had a hunch that two models acting off of each other would be funnier than someone acting alone. Plus, who doesn't want to see two people get stripped and embarrassed? The biggest pain in the behind was costumes, more specifically finding embarrassing underwear. I had a lab coat and police outfit for Izzie and Elle, but finding embarrassing underwear for each video is a fun, but sometimes difficult, challenge because I do not want to buy from Amazon, Target, or Wal-Mart unless I absolutely have to. So Ebay is where I turn to and have had success in the past. Unfortunately, I've had a few instances where the item I ordered didn't arrive or in this case, was never actually shipped by the time Elle and Izzie would arrive. 

I was not worried because this was a minor issue. Since filming ENF I have had a collection of cute, embarrassing underwear for shoots. Luckily, Elle and Izzie are great to work with because they are also willing to help in this area. When they arrived they each had their own travel case full of costume choices, Elle even went out and bought some cute panties that would be a key part of the story - Lilo and Stitch panties! I don't require models to buy items if they do not have them, that's usually an expense I'll cover. I was pleasantly surprised and touched that Elle bought several items for the videos we planned to shoot that day and the idea of both characters being caught wearing Stitch underwear was an unplanned but very funny idea that we would use in jokes throughout the story.

 

 

If you're an ENF fan, you know that more times than not, you'll have to explain to someone unfamiliar with ENF what it is. It is a conversation I love to have but it is a little tricky to explain that while yes it is a kink that for many folks it is something they find arousing, the tone is meant to be more silly and funny than it is overly sexual. For models new to ENF, I've enjoyed directing them to find their comedic voice and capturing the embarrassed tone. I like it because every model's voice is different and their embarrassment acting is also different. For example, Izzy's improv skills are fantastic, she delivers dialogue in a no-nonsense, take charge way so that when her character gets stripped to embarrassing underwear, it portrays a great contrast with mocking her no-nonsense demeanor. Dr. Elle played a scientist who was kind and playfully mocked Izzy's cute Stitch underwear, as an NPC she unfortunately could only laugh at Izzy's embarrassing situation but couldn't carry any items herself. So when Dr. Elle finally gets stripped, her anger at Izzy is a complete 180 from her nice demeanor that I thought was a great embarrassing choice. Anger and embarrassment are actually two emotions that link quite well and seeing someone angry from being embarrassed is not something I often see, usually it's someone timidly covering up and begging for clothes, so it was awesome to see Elle develop her own ENF voice.

 

With Elle and Izzie having worked together before, it made for great onscreen chemistry. They riffed off each other well, I didn't need to do a lot of coaching with story dialogue, I would give them some general plot points and they would run with it. Their chemistry was so good, I actually ruined some takes because I couldn't stop myself from laughing at their jokes. I still laugh at some of their jokes and to me that is a great sign of a good ENF parody, it has to be silly in addition to the exposure. Dressing up as the tongue monster would also be part of the fun, the hardest part was not being able to see because the costume required two hoods to give me a blank face. Again, I didn't need to do a lot of acting because once Izzie grabbed me out of the closet and pinned me against the wall, I just let them riff while acting as if I was struggling to escape from the clutches of Dr. Elle and Officer Izzie looking for sexual gratification.

 

The tropes I wanted to pull from Resident Evil were stocking on items causing someone's pants to fall, Zombies and monsters ripping off clothes, and navigating through a creepy house with traps that would require people to strip naked. ENF is straight forward to shoot, the fun as a director is collaborating with models with the use of lighting, costume, props, to get a certain tone. Horror is one of my favorite movie genres and this was a blast to problem solve how to get lighting to reflect scary in an otherwise silly video. So if you're a fan of the Resident Evil franchise or a fan of ENF, give Resident Nudist a watch. Both Izzie and Elle knocked it out of the park and this was the second video we shot that night, meaning, you'll another one in the future. 

 

 

 

 

How Platonic Friendship Evolved into Exposing Ourselves on Film

 

Today marks the day a bonus video, Demon Humiliates a Cum Faerie in her Princess Panties gets released. It features myself as the Demon and my long time, closest friend and play partner, Ly Lyra. I think everyone at one time gives thought to the idea of having sex on camera. It's not something I ever thought would be serious or likely to happen, at least not until I began shooting ENF films. I always thought it might be fun to do, but my real job would make it hard to do so, thus requiring me to wear a mask. I didn't think it would ever happen because I value my professional relationship with the models I work with and do not ask about any sex scene because it would impact the trust we have in our working relationships, it also makes an assumption that they want to which I do not want to make. 

So when Ly asked to do a humiliation scene with me, wanting to be ravished and embarrassed, I knew they post their own pictures on their OF and thought, this could be a special moment to capture an embarrassment scene on film to share with their fans as well as y'all. So what made me change my mind? Ly is someone I felt safe being naked on camera with, even with my own insecurities about my body and sex from my own past traumatic moments. This trust doesn't happen overnight, it is something that developed over time. We've known each other for over a decade, being close friends who also enjoyed casual sexual . Ly is someone who also helped me grow from a social justice perspective, helping me think critically about systems of oppression across capitalism, ableism, misogyny and racism. We also supported each other during our own rough times. Our own paths in grad school had us move away from each other, but we kept in touch. Every time we reunited it was a joyful moment in reconnecting and filling each other's cup with our love and positive energy. 

Ly was one of the first play partners I got to explore kink with. I still think fondly of those moments, it was  a powerful, hot energy where we both enjoyed mixing elements of impact play with sex. I also loved the communication we engaged in throughout, discussing what safe words we wanted to use and aftercare to make sure we were both okay.Years later, when they visited the states again, they were the first person I got to tie after I began my rope practice. Again, this was a groundbreaking moment in kink for me because I got to see the power and magic of tying someone up, both of us conjuring an intimate closeness while creating visually stunning art. 

 

With each kinky scene we created together, we would check about what we liked about the scene, what we found fulfilling about it and more importantly, how every scene strengthened our connection. I felt safe with Ly, expressing my dominant, sometimes bully-ish mean side, and also showing my naked body to. I also felt safe with Ly as a play partner because I know they would be honest in discussing what they are and not okay with. Because we felt safe with each other, we both agreed with filming our play scene together, which is what led to the video we shot. this would still come with a lot of anxiety and intimidation with shooting a sex scene and it was also exciting.

 A point of connection for embarrassment play with Ly was panty play, which as you all know is my favorite. This may have started last year when in about to play with Ly, they realized the underwear they had on was something they legitimately felt embarrassed being seen in. The natural feeling of embarrassment while we played was something they found exciting as much as it was embarrassing for them.

 I had just the cute pair I wanted them to wear for our scene. They wanted to act as a fairy, the idea is having a Demon rip off their wings before ravishing them. That was the concept and with that I added a script with some ENF elements, exposing the faerie in cute, polka dotted, princess panties. In terms of sex acts we negotiated, the idea of cumming on them appealed to me and that's where the term "Cum fearie" came up. With this premise, we had a beginning, middle, and end, stripping, dry humping, and cumming. So what was actually going to happen then for the scene itself?

 This is where one of my biggest challenges was, trusting the creative process and not planning. I'm someone who is used to planning a lot, from ordering costumes a month in advance, to planning out the shots and the script in my head. I was able to do some of that, I know the room I wanted to use, I knew the angle I wanted to use, but i wasn't sure how my own body wold handle being on camera, aware that I was being filmed while I also had to act as a mean Demon who spanks the faerie into submission before doing a sexual act that is very goal focused.Not only that, i had to make sure we were in frame so that we were on camera. Sex is an intimate, special act, that can be impacted when my anxiety brain kicks in. So shooting a sex scene involved a lot of multitasking - making sure the camera s were running, staying present to enjoy the moment, also listening to Ly to make sure they were okay, making sure I could hear their safe words if they said them. Adding to this was the mask I wore which blocked some of my vision. This definitely impacted how I tie rope because I was less able to check the length of my tails. I knew shooting porn wasn't as easy as it looked, but it was an interesting and fun experience. As with many kink scenes, this scene will stand out for me for years to come, because even though I was keeping track of the cameras, Ly''s reactions, and making sure I was staying in character, I was present the entire time. I was doing the thing I love most - Topping kinky humiliation with spanking, rope, and verbal humiliation, and we got to capture it on film for everyone to see. Ly and I didn't have a beat-by-beat setup of what we were going to do, we listened to each other's energy, I loved how I used a simple tie, using it to pull Ly close when I needed or to push them down, alternating between groping them, spanking them, or gagging them with my fingers. 

 We both are very proud of this video. What I like most about it is it captures things in kink that I find hot - stripping, embarrassing panties, spanking, rope, and I got to share it with someone I love. It's special to me because I think it's a good reflection of me and my relation to kink. I know sex and raunchier forms of it are not everyone's preference with embarrassment and exposure. I do like it from time to time, and in my view, I saw this as making an ENF video but a more personal touch as I"m exposing to you all parts of my I otherwise would keep private - my body, and my relationship with others. For those who do buy this video, we hope you like it, we are quite proud and very lucky to get to fuck because we find each other hot. I also want to wish Ly a Happy Birthday and many thanks for your friendship, your wisdom, and your kind, radical heart. Without you I don't think I would have had the connection to my sex magic that I am flourishing with now, so I honor and appreciate that you're in my life. If you don't follow Ly, change that now and subscribe to their OF and give them a kind gift as they have blessed me with theirs. 

Filming a real humiliation scene with Violet

Today I'm happy to release the video that is a bit more personal in that, it is something that portrays something very important in my life and that is kink. Violet and I were excited to show you Punishing the Nun's Hypocrisy: A Humiliation Scene. I have been in the lifestyle sine 2011 and whenever I wasn't writing erotica, drawing ENF art, or making films, I have been and am actively involved in my kinky community. If you follow my newsletter (check your spam folders if you haven't been getting them!), then you may have heard me talk about how kink has been central to my growth, helping me learn to be a better communicator and also expanding my own emotional and artistic growth. Violet Vixen and I were friends before we made films together, and have enjoyed the pleasure of doing scenes at events. 

When I debuted my mask on Instagram, Violet had reached out asking to do a scene together. Initially, I thought it would be a scene in private but then I thought that this could be an opportunity where we could enjoy a scene together and also showcase what a humiliation scene could look like. I have previously written on the complex, diverse way humiliation and embarrassment can be utilized in a scene. Beyond stripping someone of their clothes, there can be other elements of embarrassment, humiliation, and shame. There can be verbal teasing or bullying, exposing someone's secrets that they'd be embarrassed if they were shown, or tapping into the way in which religion uses shame to enforce its values. 

 

With humiliation, I saw this as the chance for us to have fun including several of my favorite elements in kink - rope, impact play, and stripping. We wanted to have a slight horror element and with that in mind, I wanted to bring back Sister Francesca from the Embarrassed Naked Nun

I have seen several humiliation themed videos on Kink.com. There are mixed stories about how ethical they are in how they treat models as representation of kink. They showcase a preshoot interview where they negotiate what will be done in the scene and what the safe words are. It's not clear however, if the negotiation being shot is part of the scene itself or an actual negotiation. Kink.com has a lot of Public Disgrace scenes, which sways on the side of humiliation/degredation than embarrassment. I have found myself less into the more degrading aspect of the scene than I enjoy the beginning where the person is stripped of their clothes and acts embarrassed. It was this tone that Violet and I had in mind when we talked about shooting a long scene. I wanted something that would be more kink-focused, but also enjoyable for an Embarrassed and Exposed audience as I get feedback that they are not as interested in the more kink heavy aspects of the genre.

The idea at the time was that my character would be more of a scary type figure. This of course was before we ended up making me a silly, cartoon trope in Shego Stripped to her Tighty Whiteys. My style with an actual humiliation scene is humorous. There was a period where I was a standup comic and what has stayed with me was my ability to roast someone in a teasing/bullying type of humor that works well with embarrassment and humiliation. Admittedly, I myself was nervous about being on camera for such a long time. As someone with my own personal experience with anxiety, perfectionism sometimes spills into that, making me trip up on my words or stutter or become hesitant. I was worried this might show up on camera as I played with Violet. This would definitely disrupt the perfectionist in me with editing and the thought of being so concerned about something not turning out "perfect" that I'd hesitate from posting was a worst-case-scenario fear that I knew I'd have to keep at bay.

 That did not happen however, because Violet and I have played several times before and so I felt comfortable being on camera because we had established trust and care for each other long before that. This is important in kink because when it works, as I think you'll see in this video, the players are fully present in the scene and time flies by because we're not in our heads thinking about "what if" anxieties, we're fully present, and that is what I find fulfilling about kink, when the magic is there, it is truly a mentally transformative experience where you can take on a role you otherwise might not embody in real life, and it gives your mind a sense of healing, purpose, and excitement to create something powerful. 

 In any scene, it is more complex than simply striking someone, tying someone up, or being tied or being hit. It is a risky practice, there is no way there is zero percent chance that harm could be done mentally or physically. That is why, it requires constant communication and constant check in throughout a scene. What you see is an edited video to tell a story, what you don't see is the safe words Violet and I negotiated before a scene, what we agreed would and wouldn't happen in the scene, and adjustments that needed to be made during the scene in terms of how intense things would be. In any scene, at any time, something can change and the previously planned scene might need to change. This can be due to someone's body experiencing pain or discomfort that was not planned or even a psychological trigger that requires ending the scene early. While safe words are one way to minimize risk of harm, sometimes that doesn't always work either. This is why it's also important to observe each other's nonverbal language, their facial expressions, an abrupt silence after they were talking a lot, or even a freeze response. We had to constantly monitor each other's and our own internal response to make sure it was safe to continue playing. The challenge for me was that the mask made it slightly more challenging to observe Violet's reactions, although I kept close watch the entire time while also staying in character.

 Violet did amazing work. Not only did she also have to act in character for the whole scene, she had to do so while in a position that over a long period of time was uncomfortable. The setup we chose was one that Violet felt most comfortable in for sustaining the pose for a long time. yet, even though she felt comfortable, over time, that pose with wrists tied to a hard metal pole while being flogged, caned, and spanked with a crop would add tension and more intense physical effort over time. Having been tied myself with the intent to hold a pose for a long period of time, by the end of ten even twenty minutes can be intense. Your body starts to shake, muscles are tense and you have to constantly check in with your tying partner to let them know if adjustments need to be made. So, big hats off to Violet for being able to sustain that pose, to sustain being spanked all while acting in what was a long-form improvised humiliation scene. There were was actually only once instance where we had to make adjustments to the intensity of the scene but otherwise, what you see is the scene that we shot in one take. A performance like this does not happen easily, but for us it did because of our long-term friendship and experience playing before.

 You may find Punishing the Nun's Hypocrisy a Humiliation Scene different from my other ENF videos. however, we hope you give it a shot and enjoy it as a representation of kink between two close friends who both share a love for celebrating the power of telling a story through rope, canes, floggers, and of course, exposure ;).

 

A New Challenger Appears! Making a Street Fighter ENF Parody

After the success of Embarrassed Kombat, I couldn't wait to shoot the next video game, fighting parody that I had planned with Ariel Anderssen. This is why we're happy to release Cammy The Embarrassed Naked Street Fighter!

I booked this before I booked Embarrassed Kombat when I wasn't quite ready to shoot a two person shoot. I had planned this to be a POV style story in which Ariel would play both the classic and new version of Cammy. 

 

 

 

I saw ENF potential in Cammy because since her original design, she has worn clothing that was revealing. While the character doesn't seem embarrassed, I saw the potential for her to acknowledge the humiliation of wearing thong leotard in a fight. I liked the idea of incorporating an embarrassed reaction for someone who is otherwise clothed.

 Perhaps the most challenging part was designing the costume while keeping to a manageable budget. From my friend and cosplayer Jaz, I have learned how expensive cosplaying is through getting materials to make the outfit as accurate as possible. With many of my shoots, I tread a line between spending money to get the desired props and costumes and not going over budget to the point the cost outweighs the payoff. With cosplay and parody videos, I don't mind spending extra money to get a better look. This was the case when I looked for the jacket that the new version of Cammy wears. As nice as it would've been for Ariel to say she already owned a leather jacket with the British flag, I would've been shocked if she actually did. So I did some searching and was able to find this amazing quality jacket from Dazcos. The hat and leotard were easier to find as solid color items are easier to find. The one item I didn't see worth spending money on was the finger-less gloves. I give props to Cammy cosplayers because her gloves are something I have not seen anywhere else, particularly with the thick wrist band. This is where being creative became fun as I knew I could mimic the look with red arm sleeves and spray painting the gloves.It took a few sprays but by the time Ariel arrived, I was satisfied with the bright colored pallet that would become her second outfit. It wasn't a perfect replication of Cammy, but when I saw her tie her hair in pigtails, I got excited because she did replicate the character as I'd hoped.

We shot this video after shooting Exposing Senator Anderssen's Hypocrisy. this was because I knew the fight scenes would be more intensive and I wanted to spare her energy for the two videos we shot. One of the challenges that would be new for me as trying to gauge distance so that I could be close enough to the camera to raise my arms to "block" Ariel's attack's when she fought me while also making sure I wouldn't disrupt the focus when I wanted to focus on her. the other challenge would be the timing of the fireball I was going to cast at Ariel. This in my opinion was one of the effects that was the key gag for her initial exposure of her underwear There are only so many light effects that mimic the Hadouken fireball. That wouldn't be so challenging. the real challenge would be the timing of me conjuring the blast before firing it at Ariel and for her to react in time. I had no doubts Ariel could pull this off as a professionally trained actor, but for me, it would be a matter of keeping the internal clock as accurate as possible. the effect I chose gives about 1-2 seconds before the big flash occurs to "blow her clothes off." What helped in preparation was doing some test shots prior to the day of the shoot.

 When I was editing the video again, one of my favorite moments was seeing Ariel walk back to the fighting arena in her green thong leotard, trying to act calm and collected while clearly being embarrassed that her butt is showing. This was the exact embarrassment gag I was hoping for. Ariel acted this beautifully  from the embarrassed reaction she has to bowing all the way up to her acting awkward with her fighting attacks because stretching too much would expose too much. It really is a marvel to watch Ariel act in ENF because most of this script had little dialogue. Because of the fighting scenes a lot of them were nonverbal actions that she had creative control to fill the time and space with

In thinking of a way to end the story, I try to think of what would make a loss embarrassing beyond losing naked. Another fantasy I had is for spanking to get involved. I couldn't think of a better move to parody than E. Honda's Hundred hand slap. 

 

How funny would it be to have Cammy lose due to orgasm from spanking? Shooting ENf and shooting spanking have two different focus points. I base this off of being an admirer of both ENF and spanking videos. With ENF it's close up shots but mostly wide angle shots to capture the model from heat to toe acting embarrassed as she's exposed .In spanking videos the choice becomes shooting an up close shot of the bottom being spanked and the reaction of the model being spanked. I have seen videos where they provide two cuts, one of the model from behind and another of them from the front to capture their reaction. I could see the point of doing it if we were doing actual spanking but if you can tell from our video, the actual spanking didn't occur and so I didn't see it as necessary to do the double cut of the spanking scene. What I did want to do was shoot two images, one of Ariel's face and the other up close of the hundred hand spank move. so we could do a side-by-side comparison. What I was concerned about with this shot as well as the other POV shots was making sure the camera was steady. I've learned my lesson from Embarrassment Quest about how jarring it is when the camera shakes, even from the subtle movements of my breathing. This was why I opted to use a tripod up close for most of my shots.

One creative decision I made that breaks canon from Street Fighter is the setting of the story. I like expanding the universe of characters I wrote, which includes expanding the world they are in. Rather than re-create the setting of Street Fighter, I liked the idea of merging Cammy into the realm of Aidos with Quokkan in the Embarrassed Kombat universe. This is because I want to expand the idea of what's possible for martial arts characters to fight and strip each other. Both Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have dozens of characters and with the merging of Embarrassed Kombat and Cammy the Embarrassed Naked Street Fighter, I'm excited to continue expanding this world. 

Ariel and I were both tired by the end of shooting, but we had a lot of fun choreographing the fight scenes. Nothing makes me happier than when I see models like Ariel, smiling with glee before we record because of how game they are.The last three videos - Embarrassed Kombat, Shego Exposed in her Tighty Whities, and Cammy the Embarrassed Street Fighter have helped me identify a niche I enjoy filming, and that's cosplay parodies of video games or pop culture. I can't say that I will only film these shoots but I have had so much fun collecting the items and costumes to make the look as accurate as possible. The magic of seeing the model make the character come to life is even more enjoyable for me. At the end of the day, what is fulfilling for me is making ENF/EUF videos.  I am new to this game, I have to honor the many talented producers before me and I often do praise their work when I review the videos I purchase from their stores in my newsletter. What makes ENF interesting is coming up with unique concepts to make an idea that has is simple - exposing and embarrassing someone, unique and with cosplay I have found the spark of inspiration that has spread like a fire. That fire does not spread without your support, Embarrassed Kombat and Shego Exposed in her Tighty Whities have both been the top #1 ENF clip on c4s and so I am listening to y'all when I see what you like most. I hope you enjoy this one. 

Directing and acting in a Shego ENF Clip

Now that Shego Stripped to her Tightey Whiteys is out, I'm delighted to talk about the experience in which I got to collaborate with my friend Violet, which included by on-screen debut. When I set on this path of making ENF films, I didn't have a strong urge to be on screen, however I also didn't want to rule it out. The main reason for staying off camera was because I still have a day-job that requires privacy, not just for myself but also the other people I work with. The reason I did keep my options open for being on screen was that I did want to be able to showcase my work, mainly rope bondage and I felt that in the event of a performance or on screen full-length video, I wanted to be able to be on screen but hide my face as well.

I did not have an exact idea in my head but knew i wanted to have some form of mask that covered my whole head. I'm so grateful for the existence of Phant0masy, an artist who hand crafts the most gorgeous masks I have ever seen. I can't recall how I find her Instagram page but as soon as I saw demos of her full face-covered masks, I immediately fell in love and knew it was something I would want to represent myself. I ended up choosing the High Court Mask because I liked its elegant design with the chains along the front and the decorative pattern. The amazing part about these masks are that it covers the whole head and can be large enough for people who require glasses. The other cool part about the site is it has a simulator that let's you pick colors and other specific visual choices before sending you a PDF of what the mask would look like, so you know what you're getting before you place an order.I wanted a simple black and white design and what I didn't know until after I did my first self-portrait shoot was that this design allowed itself to absorb the colors of whatever lights I used. To my surprise, the reaction to this was quite positive, so much so that my friend Violet asked to do a scene with the mask. Before  I move forward with talking about the shoot, what I will say is that buying a mask from Phant0masy is worth the price and wait. It takes about six months to make but this is because of the skilled hand-made design of the mask. Not only was it worth it for me but I'm already thinking about buying another in the future. 

 

 Violet and I have played  a few times together. I was delighted to get to role play and don the mask for a scene. Our humiliation scene isn't ready for release yet, but you will see in the future. Because I usually shoot two videos in one block, I did want to shoot a second story involving the mask. This is where the idea behind Shego Stripped to her Tightey Whiteys formed. I first saw Violet cosplay as Shego when she posted it on her website (she has requested not to share the link). 

 

As always with cosplay artists, I'm blown aware at the precision and accuracy of their detail to creating a real-life replication of the character they portray. Shego has been given the spotlight in several embarrassed naked art pieces within our community.

I suspect the reason why Kim and Shego both are popular in our community is because the Spy-themed cartoon has a lot of embarrassment gags, most famously this gag in which the character Ron loses his pants after he fires his grapple hook gun.

 

I first got to enjoy the fun of shooting cosplay with my friend in our Tarot the Black Rose themed shoot. Shooting cosplay is such a joy to me because it's still fun to play pretend and, there's an added challenge of getting shots that mimic the mood and tone of the original character. This usually requires making sure lighting and colors match the art tone. After the Tarot shoot, I knew I wanted to try shooting a cosplay type ENF clip in the future. Because this would be my first time acting on camera, I was admittedly, a bit nervous. I had always envisioned being off camera, speaking a few lines at most but my preference is always to have models acting solo with very little dialogue coming from me. I do think that when I do give some dialogue, it does help the model react to something and the idea of being a character that can be both dark and silly gave me ideas for different embarrassed and exposed possibilities.

 

 

Since Shego is a cartoon character, I wanted to tell a cartoon-like story with lots of classic embarrassment exposure gags based on a science fiction genre. This included X-Ray glasses, magic hats, vacuums, and the device that set me down my creative path as an ENF storyteller - Time Stop. The setup for the jokes was easy and so was working with Violet. The new challenge I had was figuring out how to film and direct when I have to be on camera. Prior to this shoot, directing was straight forward, it wasn't easy but it was straight forward. I could ensure I had the exact shot I wanted because I was watching in real time what was captured on camera, making adjustments as needed. 

 With being on camera, I had to make sure the camera was positioned in frame and that both of us would be on camera. Violet helped with making sure I was on frame but once I hit record, it was a trust game to reassure myself that we had what we needed. The other challenge was sight. I'm actually wearing two masks, a hood to cover my head so that the Phant0masy mask I wear isn't obscured by my hair. The mask itself is a mesh see-through fabric, but it did require a lot of squinting to make sure I was positioning things where they needed. Overall it was a fun and new experience to be on the other side of the camera while directing. In the style of silent comedy, I opted to avoid giving myself dialogue, making my character a silent, almost cartoon like foil to Shego's plans. In looking back, I do like this approach because of how much it calls back to the classic embarrassed exposed gags in cartoons. Violet also did amazing becoming angrier with each humiliation she endured. I had less familiarity with the character and put my trust in Violet to depicting an accurate portrayal of Shego. In her other videos, Violet also acts in more of a Domme role, which is why she is a great actor when she shifts from a dominant/bossy role to a more timid, embarrassed and humiliated silly persona once stripped. This made it a great story because in the cartoons, Shego is arrogant and cocky, so to watch her lose her dignity each time makes this an embarrassed underwear exposed story that we hope you all enjoy. 

 

Working with Ariel Anderssen again, Exposing the scary, reality of political issues in ENF

I was overjoyed to find out Ariel Anderssen was returning to the U.S. to shoot Exposing Senator Anderssen's Hypocrisy. We had so much fun shooting Embarrassment is Forever and I learned so much from her the first time, such as planning to shoot multiple scripts in one day. Since then I had been shooting multiple stories with one model, which has helped improve my efficiency and double up on my video library. What changed from last year to now was what has happened politically. Ever since 47 took office, the abuse of power from ICE has escalated. As I write this now, 47 has illegally sent the National Guard in response to the Los Angeles protestors against ICE. Stories were coming up of people being illegally detained. So with that, I did check with Ariel to see how she was feeling, how safe she felt traveling to the U.S., and if she felt she needed to cancel because no one is safe at this point. I myself have had to meet with lawyers to determine what steps I need to take as a transracial adoptee who is a U.S.citizen now but could have that stripped at anytime under this administration. Ariel acknowledged this and confirmed she was coming to the U.S.

 If you followed my newsletter, you know I spoke about Utah Senator Mike Lee's proposed Interstate Obscenity Definition Across States (IODA) act, which plans to expand the definition of what is considered obscenity in the U.S. that is illegal to share electronically. This is the same Mike Lee who just tweeted a "joke" after two Minnesota representatives were shot and killed in their homes but yes, the true obscenity is watching erotic content.

 Lee’s definition would replace the phrase “patently offensive” with “Intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person.” It would also include “nudity” and “excretion” alongside sex as categories of “prurient interest.” His legislation’s three-point definition of obscenity is as follows:

    1. taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion,
    2. Depicts, describes, or represents actual or simulated sexual acts with the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person, and,
    3. taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

Lee's law is more than a ban on porn. Many correctly speculate that the law will target LGBTQIA+ communities, labeling any depiction of these communities as "obscene" to justify charging them with crime. This like many other laws are meant to be a wedge to open the doors to further infringe on the rights of marginalized folks. 

 Lee's bill would essentially deem any type of erotic content, in a sense anything in this newsletter, as illegal. ENF and ENM had always been more soft in terms of erotic content, with much of our favorite scenes on public TV but under this law, even embarrassed nudity with the most popular TV show would be banned. This is not new, this is actually Lee's third attempt to pass a law that bans porn, hence why Exposing Senator Anderssen's Hypocrisy was written before the announcement of Lee's newest bill.

The original concept of Exposing Senator Anderssen's Hypocrisy stemmed from a long history of conservative groups lobbying to ban porn. I would not consider myself an expert in this area, but have educated myself following people who have, like Mike Stabile, the Policy Director at Free Speech Coalition. Across the political spectrum both democratic and republican lawmakers have fed into this notion that sex work/porn is unsafe for families and have laid the groundwork to where we are now. The Passing of FOSTA/SESTA, a bill intended to stop sex trafficking, did not do what was intended and actually did more harm to sex workers and did not help in prosecuting sex traffickers. Although porn is the focus, what sex workers and members of the adult industry have said is that it's just as much about giving private companies power over surveillance of our privacy as it is about banning porn. Porn is just the wedge because it historically has been stigmatized, under the guise of being unsafe for minors thus, justifying the need to regulate access through age verification laws or outright banning it altogether. 

I drew from the reality of the situation to write a character who advocated against porn but secretly has her own kinky desires. A conservative political figure advocating against any lifestyle that doesn't fit the heterosexual, nuclear family household only to be caught in their own sex scandals doing things even far worse is not a rare occurrence. That's why one of my favorite type of embarrassment exposure ideas, is the exposure of kinky secrets.  The more conservative and stern one is in their opinion, than the greater the shame/humiliating fall is when they're stripped of their clothes. My choice of exposure involved a slight turn from the typical idea of embarrassed naked exposure, by giving Ariel some clothes....skimpy red rope lingerie. With the use of panty play, the embarrassment and character quirk of the Senator implies the assumption she has a kinky fantasy for being tied up just in being seen wearing rope as underwear, which is something that got me into rope bondage in the first place. 

When Ariel arrived it was a great reunion. Many of my closest friendships are long distance and I love the small moment of joy and elation that comes from seeing someone in person after a year of being far away. It was as we set up that we started talking that the conversation became more melancholy. As we started talking about this scene, I updated her on the reality of what Senator Lee was proposing. Ariel has been in the industry for years and was familiar with conservative groups going after porn. Mike Lee's latest bill was news to her and it gave us a sense of dread and sadness because we wondered if this would be the last time travel to the U.S. to shoot porn would be possible. Ariel then suggested we enjoy the moment and I was so appreciative of this because it brought me back in the present to enjoy the fun I had in shooting embarrassment porn while also collaborating with a brilliant performer. I've become prouder of my work and how silly/absurd the story lines are and shooting this comedic skit reminded me that making silly art can also be one (of many) acts of resistance to the current White Supremacist Fundamental Christian oligarchy that is trying to take more power. On that day, Ariel and I engaged in one act of defiance, by exposing this institution for its hypocrisy.  

I couldn't have asked for a better model to take on this role. I had written dialogue for the scene, the Senator using many conservative talking points that the current administration has used, incorrectly using "Woke" as a negative term and even going so far as to use black-and-white thinking in that "some things are just right and somethings are just wrong!," and "your feelings are not what everything's about!" Many of these inflexible, extreme talking points are what right wing, authoritarian politicians live by and something many of their constituents support. Ariel's improvisation using these terms gave her character authenticity and in some ways was chilling because of how accurate her performance was in nailing actual right-wing talking points. Like the first time, it was a joy to watch Ariel act in one take, presenting through each of the powerpoint slides I created (featuring guest spots from Skunk and Violet), she did this seamlessly such that I would've thought she had made her own presentation about banning porn.

The other reason I was looking forward to this clip was because I wanted to make a video that showcased my shibari skills. So far rope bondage has been used a little bit, with simple rope cuffs tying up wrists and ankles, with the occasional rope lingerie tie. Having seen a few rope bondage clips, I wanted to take my first shot at filming a bondage centric ENF clip. Ariel herself is a skilled self-bondage tier and I wanted to capture a slow-motion capture of her tying her own rope dress.  The next tie would be one of my favorite arm binding ties, a four line strappado. I've tied this a few times on partners and felt it would look aesthetically neat while also adding more eroticism to the image of Senateor Anderssen grinding against the bench while she was tied up.

 

 

 With ENF, I'm used to shooting quick shots to put together a sequence of clothed-to-unclothed shots of the model being embarrassed. With rope bondage, the focus is on the model struggling in their ties. I typically see long shots, often times zooming in and out to get a focus on the model. With this in mind, I used a harness to capture Ariel for several minutes in her tie, trying my best to keep the camera steady. I initially thought a side-profile shot would work best but realized that this did not showcase the neat, ladder-like effect of the strappado so we opted to shoot it a second time. What I enjoyed about shooting bondage is that it forced me to be present in the shot, taking my time rather than going through the rush of record, stop, record, stop that I'm used to doing. Shooting bondage required taking time, letting Ariel improvise on her own while capturing all of her nonverbal performance as she figured out how a senator who wants to ban porn but secretly masturbates to porn, would enjoy being tied up.

 ENF is typically a style meant to be silly and over-the-top. Exposing Senator Anderssen's Hypocrisy has that and after watching this movie in full, I'm proud that we made an ENF video that tackles a serious issue about privacy, freedom of speech, and the rights and safety of marginalized folks, many of whom saw the adult industry as accessible when discrimination from "normy" jobs discriminated against them. We hope you all enjoy this video and if you live in the U.S., call your senator and tell them to vote NO on Mike Lee's IODA bill.  

The True Opponent in Filming an ENF Mortal Kombat Parody - Nature!

                  

 I have been looking forward to this Memorial Day weekend for a month ever since I booked the shoot with Skunk and Violet for what would become Embarrassed Kombat. The video game itself is all about humiliating your opponent with a gruesome finisher. Even the non fatal finishers imply a sense of embarrassment. How humiliating is it to go from being a tough martial arts warrior and become reduced to a baby?

 

I explored the idea of humiliation and stripping an opponent of their clothes in my Mortal Kombat Fanfic, Finish Them! In it, the fighters get stripped during battle, with their special abilities being used to accidentally or intentionally damage their opponent's clothing. I didn't finish the series as I moved on to writing my own erotica however, the year I made the plan to make ENF films,  I knew a long-term goal would be to shoot a two-model video parodying Mortal Kombat. With your support within my first year, I felt ready to make the leap and bring the idea to life. As exciting as it was to write the script, inventing my own characters that parodied Princess Kitana and Sonya Blade, the shoot would not be without its challenges.

With Global Warming impacting the intensity and stability of weather patterns, Michigan's weather is even more unpredictable. As I write this on Memorial Day weekend, it's actually in the high 40s. When Skunk and I first met and planned to shoot, it was delayed because we had a snow storm...in April.

                              

This fella visited me minutes after Skunk and I agreed to reschedule shooting Officer Undressed

Experiences like this make me used to the unpredictability of what can happen leading up to, during, and after filming an ENF video. I have found the mantra, "It will not turn out exactly as you planned" to be helpful in grounding me so that I am not overwhelmed or panicked when things happen unexpectedly. It's not that things will go wrong, but rarely have shoots gone 100% the way I wanted. Weather changes, scripts changes, making adjustments to costumes/props, and travel are factors that can affect a shoot. Embarrassed Kombat was hit with multiple unexpected moments.

The unpredictability of the weather was the first issue. In April, temperatures were averaging at mid 40s to 50s, which if you've ever been naked in these temperatures, it's not very tolerable. It's also risky because it could result in health issues for exposure to cold temperature for long periods of time. In that sense, I was ready to reschedule if the temperatures were not going to rise. With this comes another challenge, booking. Scheduling with one model takes time and a lot of communication to figure out the right time because we all have our own schedules. Booking two models adds complexity because I had to coordinate between Violet and Skunk's schedules to make sure all three of us could meet to shoot at the booked outdoor location. With a lot of back-and-forth texting, we had our day and I knew that rescheduling could risk further delaying the video if Violet and Skunk couldn't meet on a second day.

 By the week of, things were looking to be better, it seemed it would be in low 60s with sun. It was not my preferred condition, but better than what I had feared and with that, we made the choice to try to shoot. I did let both models know that if they felt uncomfortable or needed to stop then we would because I want to prioritize safety and health of the performers above everything else.  With props, costumes, and robes in hand, we went to work in this wonderful outdoor wooded location that reminded me of the forest fight scene in Mortal Kombat 2

 I was more anxious than I typically feel with shooting, more because this was my first time shooting a two-model scene. I also felt pressure running against the time of nature because I wasn't sure how long we would have sunlight and worried we would lose it. Lucky for me, it was cloudy because...Michigan, and we got a total of 5 minutes of sunlight, so problem solved! I usually shoot things in linear order of the story, but given the time constraints of temperature and lighting, I prioritized efficiency and shot scenes in order of action, stripping, and eventually dialogue. Skunk and Violet handled this all with amazing grace and talent, their motivation and enthusiasm created a fun energy that kept us moving throughout the shoot.

 

 

 My current equipment setup includes a Sony ZV-E10, a Rode Video NTG mic and then my camera phone. The nice part about the Rode mic is it can plug into my Sony and allow me to check the quality of the sound while recording. That day, it had difficulties holding a charge, it would a low battery even after charging all day. It was likely that it would die out during shooting, Luckily, the camera has its own built in mic that I was ready to use but my saving grace would by my camera phone.

My phone has a better quality camera built in than what I've previously had. I still prefer to use my Sony for better image quality, but it does get the job done when needed. I first used it as a second camera with Embarrassment Quest as a wide angle shot.

 

 I regret forgetting to use this more consistently during filming as I only got this shot for the second half of the battle. Despite only using a few scenes spliced with the close-up shots, I liked the transition between wide angle and POV shots because I felt it resembled the camera changes in Final Fantasy 7 combat scenes. With Embarrassed Kombat, I knew I was going to do a section that would parody the actual side-angle shot of the original video game and made sure I had enough space to run the camera phone during the whole shoot. This choice ended up making it the MVP when another issue would happen....gravity. If you watch the video, you can see the fun blooper of my camera lens reaching its end when the stand tipped and landed lens first. This is a bad habit of mine of leaving things unstable and letting them fall, from leaving objects on the edge of a table, to light stands, and the ZV-10 kit lens.

                           Violet's concerned face seeing the last moments of my lens before I could.

At this point, halfway through the shoot I was down my primary camera and no microphone. It was not great however, I didn't panic. Again, the mantra that things will not turn out as I planned helped ground me. I also knew I had my phone camera set up to get a wide angle shot on run the whole time and luckily this was our saving grace because thanks to that, I got every shot I needed and I had decent enough audio to mix with the shots on my Sony camera when the microphone battery died. So, lesson learned, always have a backup camera ready and also make sure your camera stand is stable XD.

 The other unexpected challenge that day was the wind chill factor, bringing our 60 degree temperature down to more of a mid 50 degree temperature. This meant the amount of time being naked outside that was tolerable and safe was a lot shorter. Typically, I try not to rush through takes or if needed, reshoot a take to make sure we have the shots we need. With the temperature a factor and with Skunk and Violet the ones who are naked, I wanted to be mindful of their safety and eliminate any time of unnecessary reshoots. I kept checking in with them for the rest of the time, offering to stop and reschedule if needed. To their credit, they were on board with finishing the shoot and we quickly shot the rest of the script. There might have been a few points from the original script that were omitted, mainly some dialogue, but this was something that wasn't central to what I wanted - an ENF parody in spirit of the videogame Mortal Kombat, not necessarily just the story. Like Embarrassment Quest and Embarrassment Quest 2, I wanted to tell a story that resembled the game mechanics and that meant I could coach Violet and Skunk during their solo fights rather than stop and start multiple takes with scenes involving dialogue.

 By the time we wrapped up shoot, I was anxious if I got everything I needed to edit a coherent story. My hope was to have two parts to this Mortal Kombat themed ENF shoot, something I wanted to film ever since I planned to make films. Having watched it in full sequence, from splicing in the music, the fight sound effects, and my own attempt at mimicking the Mortal Kombat narrator voice, I am overjoyed with this long film Violet, Skunk, and I created. We hope you enjoy it. I would love to make this a series, and so your support in buying the video would be of great help because once cost is covered, I can definitely plan a sequel and I already have a few ideas as to what it could be.

 

Commanded by Skunk - Exploring different forms of humiliation

 Around this time would've been the year anniversary of when I reached out to Devious Skunk to start my career in producing enf content. This comes with the release of Spy vs the Commander - Skunk's Uniform Stolen! This was actually the first video we shot before we shot The Men in Black versus the Kinky Clownians. The idea of this story stemmed from my love of the exposure trope of a character's clothes being stolen and used for a disguise. This is often shown in a lot of action-type movies, sometimes not even showing the actual removal of one's clothes, instead one shot will portray the protagonist and the other character,  with the following scene to show the protagonist wearing the character's clothes. Sometimes we would get to see the character stripped of their clothes and tied up, a double whammy of humiliation. G.I. Joe often used this trope both in the comics and the TV show.

 

 

I also highlighted this trope in a fanfiction story featuring Black Widow in Black Widow's Bad Luck. In this story Black Widow sneaks around, stripping guards of their clothes before she gets caught and is stripped herself. It's one of my earliest stories and one of my most popular ones.

 Thus, that was the idea I had when I created Commander Skunk. I liked the idea of a dominant boss who demeans her soldiers only to be stripped and humiliated as she's tied up in her panties and later, no clothes at all. Still, I didn't feel this was quite enough, I wanted to do something else to make this ENF clip more than just a clothed/unclothed story.

As I have said before, erotic embarrassment and exposure is not just about the nudity/panty exposure, it's about exposing someone's secrets. Most folks have no problems with being seen naked or in their underwear, but it's when there's a detail they don't want people to know about that makes it embarrassing. I thought it would be fun to be in a situation where in being stripped and tied up, that The Commander had a sexual fantasy of this but didn't want anyone to know. This led to the funny premise of her bossing the Spy, to do what she wants him to do to her. We both enjoyed this idea because of how silly it was because in turning the tables, the Spy is now stuck at the mercy of the Commander before she's horribly embarrassed when her men see her caught in the passion of her submissive fantasy.

 

 I thought this would be a simple clip to shoot in terms of the set up and boy was I wrong. Do you know how hard it is to strip someone with a camera strapped to your chest and make sure you have it pointed on the actor? Suuuuuuuupeeeer hard. Once we started filming I realized that I couldn't just focus on removing her catsuit, but I also had to make sure the camera was steady and aimed where I wanted it to. I had to summon all of my lessons from yoga by being very mindful of my body movements so that I moved slowly and not shake the camera. Adding to the challenge was that the catsuit was a lot tighter than I realized, it wasn't something I could simply just pull off.  

These technical issues initially had me concerned because I wasn't sure if the camera would be so shaky it would impact the clip. It was one of the first time I thought about booking a re-shoot, which I now understand the purpose. Thankfully my fears were unfounded as I have watched the clip several times and l love the diverse types of stripping scenarios that Spy vs the Commander has, capturing my love of exposed nerdy and sexy underwear and naked exposure. As always, Skunk's playful and silly energy made this shoot a fun hangout than work. I'm impressed with her ability to write her own cue cards while tied up. We hope you enjoy the clip!

Making a deal with the Devil - Working with Riley Jane

Now that it's spring, temperatures are getting warmer (well not here in Michigan but you get used to it). With Riley Jane, things get even hotter with my latest embarrassed and exposed video, the Embarrassed Naked Demon!

 

 The original idea for this script stemmed from a different idea I had (that I still hope to film some day) of an angel being summoned in the most inopportune of times. Of course, with good, there is evil and I wanted to do something to balance that out with a demon-related ENF story that became Embarrassed Naked Demon featuring the return of Riley Jane. I had Riley in mind as a performer with several body mods, the split tongue I thought would make for a great detail in portraying a demon who enslaves mortals. 

 

This was going to be another teleportation related film. It seems simple but in editing it's common to pick out areas where the camera moved slightly or an object that is in one place was slightly moved elsewhere. Once the camera is in place I just had to ensure that it wasn't moved elsewhere. Thankfully this was actually the second film that we shot after filming Embarrassment Quest 2 . It was another film involving start-stop shots so we had found our groove and it was relatively seamless. Honestly the hardest part was snapping my fingers loud enough so that the camera could pick it up or that Riley could hear to start acting.

 

Sometimes when I think of an idea, I like to explore other ways of making an embarrassment clip unique because it can be easy to be repetitive with a clip about someone ending up naked by the end. With this story, Riley was going to be naked first before the more embarrassing stuff would happen. I loved the idea of a tough, scary demon, being caught doing several embarrassing things in addition to being seen in her embarrassing underwear. Riley asked me a very important question when we shot that scene, which was pop music or country music for her to be caught dancing to? It was a hard choice because I think both have a place to be something a demon would be embarrassed dancing to. As a metal and hardcore punk music fan growing up, I can remember feeling embarrassed jamming to Rage Against the Machine and then my music would switch to a pop song after. One time I heard two guys in a car laughing behind me and I was so self conscious I lowered the volume. I think that's why both Riley and I liked this script. Not only is the premise absurd and silly, that someone who managed to summon a demon who grants hm three wishes would waste them on the most mundane things, but it also features forms of embarrassment that are not solely based on stripping someone of their clothes. It involves wearing cute things, dancing/singing, and being caught in a vulnerable moment with a sexual encounter.

We hope you enjoy Embarrassed Naked Demon and stay tuned for the next enf film!
