Because it's October, (and I'm inspired by Jay Noel who is blogging about real life creepy things) I'm going to post about 13 disturbing sex fetishes that just may leave you sick to your stomach, incredibly intrigued, or generally frightened for the fate of human kind. I've researched these bizarre things (in part) as a writer because when you create villains, it serves you well to have a full toolbox. I'm going to design a badge and change the number each day for my mini-blog-a-thon. And for my badge, I have chosen the image of this woman:
Her name is Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was Empress of China from October 690 to February 705. She is the only woman in Chinese history to rule in her own right. She was a ruthless, cruel, sadistic and sexually depraved murderess who drove her people into chaos. She ordered tortures, executions and forced suicides on a daily basis. She had all of her rivals exiled or executed including the ex-empress Wang. She also had members of her family executed including her niece and nephews. She also killed her newly born daughter. Other family members were exiled including her sons, in which one was eventually ordered to commit suicide. Wu had thousands of her people poisoned, strangled, mutilated, burned and boiled alive. Others had their noses, ears, feet and legs cut off. She died in December 705 at age 81.
I think Wu Zetian shall be a fine icon for this strange countdown of the extremely bizarre.
I will attempt to keep my descriptions of these fetishes very clinical. But all of them are real (I won't be posting many pictures). I'll let your imaginations do all of that for you. I hope you will join me and not be too scared.
I'll start with number 1 tomorrow :).
ZOMG! I can't wait.
ReplyDelete...or maybe I can...o_O
ReplyDeleteHmm, should be interesting. Wonder how many of mine will be in there.

You don't fool around when it comes to scary, do you?
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, that's the most evil woman I ever heard of. What a monster.
So much for women being the kinder more gentler of the sexes. I'm curious what you've discovered. I've read the Marquis de Sade and I still have awful visuals in my head.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm feeling dreadfully anticipation to read about this.
ReplyDeleteJust going to step out onto a limb here and say this series is going to be big 'click' getter for you Michael...
ReplyDeleteAnd what a twisted chick!
Is she the one that demanded cunnilingus from visiting dignitaries? I can't recall who did that, but that piece of trivia has been floating in my mind since I read it... just couldn't remember the name of the lady in question.
ReplyDeleteI read a good bit about her before, quite the lady...
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a real piece of work. Good thing you aren't posting pictures.
ReplyDeleteI can just see her and Vlad the Impaler hooking up on an online dating site.
ReplyDeleteGah, I'm going to read this series with one eye-covered.
Eager to see what new things I'll learn. When women are wicked, boy are they wicked.
ReplyDeleteUm... I have no response.
ReplyDelete@Elise: Oh you're such a curious girl, I know you'll be reading.
ReplyDelete@moody: LOL you get the award for best comment of the day.
@Cindy: I was pretty shocked when I found the description of this woman online. I had never heard of her. She could easily be Polpot's sister or hang out with Stalin and Caligula.
@Em-Musing: It's more or less going to be like a Wikipedia description of the types of super extreme things that people are into with maybe one real life example that people can google if they want to.
@Susan: LOL Good!
@E.J.: The traffic has been brisk according to Blogger (thus far). I think a lot of people lurk but don't comment.
@Adam: I only learned about her last night while I was typing up the post. I had the same reaction...
@P.T.: I may post some pictures, but nothing that would be unsuitable for work. I've found some "statues" that are considered art or some classical art pieces that may illustrate some of the things.
@L.G.: That's an interesting comparison. Two peas in a pod.
@J.L.: People are wicked. I just wanted to use a woman, because we don't hear about them much.
@Andrew: Dude, she would have had you executed the moment you gave her a one star review on anything.
Ah yes! The "I've researched this only for my writing" excuse. That's what I tell Sweetie whenever I post a "Girls Kissing Girls" Picture on my Lesbian Zombies blog.
ReplyDeleteshe doesn't buy it, either. Looking forward to these posts, though. Purely out of academic interest, of course.
Love strange sex fetishes. One of my faves is the bug crushing one. Indeed we humans are twisted creatures. Wu sounds likes a real villain Hollywood should make note of. We need some craven women out there to match Hannibal Lechter.
ReplyDeleteWow, how did she live to be 81? I guess most of the authority figures in her regime must have agreed with her policies or she would have been assassinated.
ReplyDeleteThere are some sick people in power in our world's history.
........dhole
Wow. I thought Elizabeth Bathory was a badass. Amazing that Wu Zetian lived to 81. I would have thought someone would assassinate her long before then.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme. Looking foward to more greatest hits of depravity.
Wow! I am already reeling from reading about Wu Zetian. Look forward to reading your other posts, Michael.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the 'clinical' descriptions.
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess I'll see you in about 14 days, then. (I'm incredibly squeamish. I have a feeling I won't be able to stomach this.)
ReplyDeletecoolios! ;)
ReplyDeleteDANG IT, what a SUCKY TIME for me to NOT have Internet at home!!! Gah. GAH!!! I will try to keep up, though I hate missing these when you first post them...but I'm totally looking forward to seeing what you've turned up! (I think.) ;-)
ReplyDeleteMina's Resurrection Blogfest!
Sounds great... can't wait to read them all and learn something new
ReplyDeleteSounds like a series perfect for October. Looking forward to what you post about . . . though I'm sure I'll be disturbed by it. :P
ReplyDeleteNot "many" pictures. Well now I've gotta come back & check it out.
ReplyDeleteeek! I'm kinda scared... ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to keep an eye on this series - it sounds pretty crazy :)
ReplyDeleteJamie
I'll do my best to not be too shocked, but I have lived a cloistered life.
ReplyDeleteOMG - I LOVE THIS IDEA!
ReplyDeleteWhat a theme! I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteLuna
I'm excited to see how many of these I know already because of my job. (Part of which is removing unsavory things from the internets.)
ReplyDeleteBRING IT.
Hmmm. Interesting idea! I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember hearing about this empress when I was in China. Sounds like a modern day serial killer to me.
