HNT - Late Summer Slurpy

The traditional last week of summer is here. And it's brought the steamiest weather we've had all summer. Too hot to bike. Hell, it's too hot to walk around the block. So we've been hiding out at the HQ, getting back into our two a day empty nest groove. 

Plus today I had a bonus: Mistress has been camped out here most of the day using a spare office. She's a bit of a distraction for some of my male colleagues, one of whom even lured her out for a little designer coffee "date". And I wasn't even invited!

Fortunately I did get to engage in some pre/lunch worship, and I have it on good authority that another opportunity will present itself before we head to a pre-dinner fund raising event. 

I need to let Mistress  hang out here more often!

The Sex Blogger's Code of Ethics

Yesterday, Slave, with due humility, reported that I had not had sexual discharge for a shocking period of 48 hours. Of course, my account was 100% true. Mistress and her Slave had sex Saturday morning, but intervening events, including a late Saturday night, a 9 hour Sunday drive to the east coast, and a partial return had denied me the chance for sexual release until Monday morning, in a no-tell motel somewhere in the “mountains” of central Maryland.

But in a comment left here yesterday, a certain Domme, who purports to have both a panty wearing and chastity device equipped subservient husband and  a macho Trophy Cock armed Alpha lover, accused your humble author of fabricating my 48 hours of cruel denial.

After I recovered from my shock at this false allegation, I realized that the integrity of our entire journalistic enterprise here was at stake. It required an appropriate (if measured) response. In the absence of a battery of cruise missiles off the Massachusetts shore, I figured it was time to go back to our journalistic roots here, and remind ourselves (and our competitors) about what this is all about: Journalistic Integrity, as summarized in the Journalists Code of Ethics…. So how do we measure up?

Preamble
Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues.

Of course, all we do here at UCTMW is about  seeking  the truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account…. Sure, sometimes I truncate the order of events, fabricate an occasional quote in the name of efficient and clever story telling, and gloss over some inconvenient details (like the occasional stubble amongst the clean shaven folds), But it’s all in the name of reporting a higher truth….

Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility.

Naturally, our overarching goal here is to “serve the public”. I’m thinking of all you guys in Russia, or the Middle East who download those photos of the lovely Molly. I mean, if all you have are neighbors in Burkas, you need some comparative anatomy lessons. If I crop out some body parts, does that mean I am not being “thorough” enough?

Seek Truth and
Report It
Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.

You have to admit it takes a lot of courage to publish the WC’s commentaries, which are a punctuation free zone!

And what about that picture of me in the cock cage?

Journalists should:

—    Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.

Deliberate distortion? Just because our dialogue here is always pithy, clever and succinct? Don’t you think we always talk that way?
— Diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.

You mean I have to give the WC a chance to explain his AmEx charges before I accuse him of buying drums of high end lubricant at $20/ounce?
— Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.

Wait, you mean I should be using real names here?
— Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information. Keep promises.

Just because the WC wants to get into Mistress’s pants, does that mean he’s not a reliable source?  I never considered that.
— Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.

At UCTMW we never use headlines as teasers to draw attention. Like that headline a few weeks back, “Slave Dines In. Mistress Eats Out?” Didn’t folks know that was about lunch plans?
— Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations.

Fortunately, I have never had to photo shop Mistress’s head on another person’s body. But does this mean I can’t delete here head altogether?  And yes, that really was my work-a-day cock inside that cage, just in case you were wondering. I know, not that impressive.
— Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged news events. If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label it.

This doesn’t mean those clever descriptions of our staff meetings does it?
— Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information except when traditional open methods will not yield information vital to the public. Use of such methods should be explained as part of the story

This doesn’t include photos of large, tastelessly dressed purveyors of sex toys does it? I mean, they were walking on a public street for God’s sake!
— Never plagiarize.

I thought imitation was the sincerest form of flattery?
— Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do so.

Isn’t this plagiarized from the Star Trek intro?
— Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others.

We would never expect your run-of-the-mill Domme/Sub couple to engage in switch days. It’s just our thing.
— Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.

Dang. We’re back to those sex toy sales ladies, aren’t we? But at least it’s OK to stereotype Tea Partiers!

— Support the open exchange of views, even views they find repugnant.

That’s what the comments section is for. We even welcome those of you who think Slave should spend more time in his cage!
— Give voice to the voiceless; official and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid.

The voiceless WC is always welcome to explain his exotic if self indulgent lifestyle here….
— Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting.

Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.

We never try to proselytize here at UCTMW about the superiority of the female led lifestyle…. I suspect Mistress would be happy to submit to a good spanking if someone was man enough to administer it!
— Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.

If only we had rolled out the UCTMW logo coffee cups and T-shirts before google banned blogsploitation!

Minimize Harm
Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.

Whenever we run a photo of the WC, I try to remind people that he’s really not that scary looking in real life.

—    Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.

Pander? We just put up those photos of Molly to celebrate the majesty of God’s handiwork!

—     

—   

Act Independently
Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know.

Journalists should:

—    Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shun secondary employment, political involvement, public office and service in community organizations if they compromise journalistic integrity.

—    — Disclose unavoidable conflicts..
— Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests.

To be clear, if someone offered us a trip to Rome in exchange for promoting their product or service, I am sure I would ultimately disclose it after we came back and they paid for all those nice dinners.

So Suzanne, here at UCTMW we embrace the highest standards of journalistic integrity! Now it’s time for this ink stained wretch to put aside my reporter’s hat, and get back to my higher purpose – waking Mistress with my devoted tongue and lips!

Gratification Deferred...but Not Denied.

Mistress and slave did the 9 hour drive from heartland to the coast today. Dumped off the cute co-Ed in a chaotic dorm room and headed back. It's been more than 30 hours since either of us discharged our pent up sexual energy!

But before checking into some no tell hotel in central Maryland we needed to stop for sustenance. 

There will be time enough at dusk to properly celebrate the restoration of our empty nest!

(I tried to post this Sunday evening but somehow the internet connection was less than robust in the mountains of Maryland... rest assured that Mistress and Slave slept soundly in some sleazy Best Western last night... Mistress received some pre-bedtime worship, and this morning, Slave was able to break that horrid 48 hours of abstinence....Ahhhhh. What a relief!

Now we are headed home looking forward to exploiting our full empty nest privileges at least through Thanksgiving!)

Float Like a Butterfly and...

It's been one of those weeks here at the UCTMW World HQ.

One daughter off loaded to her bucolic college town... another suddenly whining about how she would really rather go somewhere else than where we plan to off load her on Sunday.

Mistress starting a new job, and juggling the demands of insistent clients.

Then, with all those balls in the air, on a late afternoon bike ride Wednesday with former fuck buddy Jay.... she gets stung on her forehead by a bee.

Oops. 

By the next morning, one side of her face is swollen and puffy, eye completely shut.

Not only does this upset the beautiful symmetry of her lovely face, it also throws an overly scheduled day into chaos.

"I'm not going out in public looking like this, Slave...."

"And you can't drive that way, in any event....."

(Slave is the practical one here).

So Slave went to work, and she conscripted one of the Mistresses in training to take her to the MD.

By the end of the day, and with some medication, the swelling had diminished some, giving her a little more vision in her eye.  We decided to go to dinner at a local restaurant, since our other dinner plans had gone up in flames.

But naturally, we ran into several friends and acquaintances, who, seeing Mistress's swollen eye,  started eying Slave with suspicion. I could hear them thinking "Did he clobber her?", since the affect on Mistress's face was about the same as someone who had been on the losing end of a bar fight. Fortunately, Mistress was happy to blame it on the bee. Otherwise, the local police would have been showing up at our door before the evening was out.

By yesterday, Mistress's face  was almost back into normal shape, and she resumed her jam packed schedule. It included a jazz concert in a local park by an extraordinary singer I'd never heard before.... a nice respite for Mistress and Slave to sit under a tree, enjoy the crowd and the music. And, as it turned out, the guy's hit song has a Femdom theme to it..... featuring a guy in a cage, with the babe dancing around him, taunting.... check it out: Be Good (Lion's Song).

When we got home, discovering that the nest was briefly empty, we made sure to exploit the opportunity, with Slave settling in for some devotional worship of her clean shaven folds, and Mistress indulging me afterwards with the opportunity to fuck her.

Now if we can only make it to Sunday evening.....
