Review: Gromet's Self Bondage, Mummification, and
Owner:
Gromet
Reviewed:
There are bondage stories, and then there are bondage stories, as far different from scarves-and-bedposts tie-me-ups as Rottweillers are from toy poodles. I don't mean just leather corsets and whipping frames. I'm talking about padlocked rubber catsuits, vacuum-pumped body bags, and full-body mummification. Gromet, the creator of this site, has put together a prime selection of such stories, all of them free and updated weekly. I suppose some of you are now scratching your heads wondering why anyone would want to mummify, or be mummified by, someone else. It is an unusual fetish, even taking into account the mummy aspect is more figurative than literal. But there are many ways to make a human mummy. Rubber, latex, saran wrap, bandages, duct tape, all suffice, as long as the person is immobilized completely by having their limbs pressed tightly against their body so that the blood throbs through their veins; in such an immobilized, suspended state the mummified one finds sexual ecstasy. The stories go about this end in a number of ways. Sometimes the plot concerns revenge, or people experimenting with their home grown techniques. Sometimes a machine is used, with or without a high tech or science fiction setting. A few stories had mythic Egyptian tones, or involved fantasy characters or aliens. For my review I picked eleven stories from the mummification and latex sections, which together held about two hundred stories. The quality ranged from very good to eh, not so good. Some writers made the fantastic nature of their bondage setups seem real and convincing; others did not. In the poorly written "The Slave Trial" by Matt L., for example, three gorgeous slaves vie, through being as submissive as possible (which meant doing nothing) to win a place as their Master's "permanent latex bondage submissive" locked in a rubber sheet on a strapped table -- a dubious honor, if you ask me. Silliness also reigned in RbrBill's "Alien Rubber" in which the whole human race is transformed, by aliens into rubber bondage slaves, not so much Ricky Horror as Rocky Horrible. But Fringe's delightful "The Rubberisation of ElectraWoman and DynaGirl" took the silliness and turned it into camp, with the two eternally perky heroines threatened by "Rubber Queen" and her community of bondage aficionados. Unfortunately, after an excellent start, it was left unfinished, ending at the point where the "rubberisation" would begin.
Other
stories were quite serious, reaching a level of intensity and imagination
rivaling that in regular bondage fiction. Perhaps the most intense of these was
Toran's "Do You Want to Continue?" written
as a sort of love letter from Toran, one of the site's principle writers (and a
dom male) to another writer,
Jenny (a sub female.) The idealized affair takes the two from a polyamorous Master/slave relationship with two other submissives to a fulfillment of Jenny's most extreme
fantasy, that of being mummified and buried alive in a faux-Egyptian tomb,
which Toran is only too happy to grant her. The story strains its plausibility
in places (such as the contact lens/cameras glued to the victim's eyes so she
can access live action views of her entombment) but the overall effect is dark,
majestic, and deliciously cruel, an A+ work of fiction in any genre:
____________________________________________________________
Jenny
tells herself that this is what she wants. Enjoy it. Savor it.
It's at this moment, as she focuses on the feed from the tiny camera
inside with her the one that shows her mummified body rigidly trapped in
her sarcophagus, a bound girl for which there is now no escape at this moment
the vibrator comes to life with the first of its damnable bursts of power.
She feels the first uncontrollable ripple of giddy warmth race through
her body and the feeling builds and the fear that is racing right along with
the warmth only adds fuel to the fire. Forever
she could be here forever. Fucking forever... The massive
hoist is attached to the entire sarcophagus now and with barely a tug, it lifts
the heavy wooden tomb a few feet. The floor underneath
the sarcophagus trembles then and slides away to reveal a huge and gaping black
hole. Inside the sarcophagus, sealed in by
elaborate locking mechanisms that now not even the hoist could rip the top off,
Jenny doesn't feel any movement as she's lowered into the black darkness.
He's going to bury her!
____________________________________________________________
A
little while later she's sealed in for good, with cement. But her lover still
gives her a choice:
____________________________________________________________
"Do
you want to continue?" There is already hundreds of pounds of cement,
a heavy wooden coffin, six layers of linen and sealing compound wrapped around
her. She's sealed in. Totally sealed in.
But he can still stop it. She knows it. He's surely thought
of how to get her out, otherwise he wouldn't ask her, now, when she's making
the last decision. She has to say no. She has to put a stop to
this right fucking now because this is real, this is no turning back.
She
moans her answer. "Yes."
The
vibrator kicks in just as the cement fills the pit completely, and its panic
and fear and arousal and everything that she's ever dreamed about and
fantasized about and when she sees Teri, naked, fighting furiously against the
chains that bind her, being attached to the hoist and when she hears Toran's voice in her ears telling her that every mummified queen
has her pets sealed in with her forever and Teri surely qualified as her
closest pet, and when she sees Teri, crying around her thick gag, being lowered
into the still liquid cement until only bubbles, lazily popping at the surface
shows she's ever existed the biggest hardest longest orgasm erupts from
deep inside Jenny and as she's powerless to stop anything now, it rolls through
her and sends her into satisfied blackness.

Probably the quintessential mummy story, and one of the best pieces of gothic erotica I've read. Poe would be pleased.
