Bondage: Slavegirls

I made this illustration back in 2007 using acrylic, ink, watercolor and colored pencils on paper. It was the first pic of two intended illustrations depicting first men dominating girls, and a second pic of girls dominating boys. (I'll post the second later. Edit; here.)

Back then I still drew out the contour in ink like one would do in comics. Looking at it now I sometimes miss that style. When I first published it online I got a few comments, so I'll repost one of them here:
"Well done...you did a great job on the ropework. One could almost learn to rig from that."

Maledom
Males have, throughout the majority of history, desired a control over females, which, I guess, can be traced back to a fundamental insecurity about what women would do if they were allowed free reign. After all, they are the only ones who truly knows who is the father of their child, and unless exercising absolute control, men could find themselves at their mercy. At the same time, back in the more violent primitive times, women would often be in need of protection from men, and so ultimately they were dependent on each other. (I guess they could do without each other now though...)

Rape fantasies
Some men would say that only men who are "sick" would have fantasies of rape, but history shows (and most women probably know) that a majority of men's primal sexual desire will show little regard for the well-being of women. Even the ancient holy texts make this fact blatantly clear;
"Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish."
(- Judges 19:24, Holy Bible)
(Svenska: Domarboken 19:16-30 "Se, här är min dotter som är jungfru och mannens bihustru. Dem vill jag föra ut till er, så kan ni våldta dem och göra med dem vad ni finner för gott.)

For this and other reasons the relationship between men and women will always be filled with tension and conflict.

I'm thinking of making a few illustrations based on biblical stories and anecdotes in the future. The Bible is a good source for sex and perverse stories.
