Richard Freeman's Batteries Not Included
The High Church of Kym Wilde, Now Forming
By Kate Doyle

I've come to the conclusion that Kym Wilde is the Jackie Chan of porn films. She does all her own stunts!

Six episodes of On The Edge later, and I've finally come down.

Actually, it was more than six but I've lost count. It's all become this giant D/S haze…

No one is every quite prepared for Kym. I know I wasn't. All the other D/S tapes I've been cutting my teeth on have all been lightweight wonders, with more invested in fetish gear than in erotic energy. From the tapes shared with me by kind friends, this seems par for course a good bit of the time. Then her comes Kym, who won't rest until she's hit with that flogger until she looks like a giant sunburn. And that's just for appetizers.

In the first few of her starring, writing, and directing forays On The Edge, she does play the good, quiet, little submissive that we all expect. Then somewhere between numbers 3 and 5, she got tired of it. By number 7, she's eating tops for lunch.

We can't say we weren't warned. In one of the early ones…(sorry the numbers just tend to blend into each other after a while), when she's in the dungeon with this unnamed Master who's seizing her by her hair demanding to know if she's had an orgasm, and how dare she. Her response is, "Oh, yeah?" but the expression on her face is a perfect: You-want-to-make-something-of-it-yobbo? After this vid, she's given up and is just openly mouthing off. The attitude is fantastic, but she needs to have someone write her some really good one liners. If she wants, I can loan her my Black Adder tapes for inspiration!

I'm glad she exists because she blows the stereotype of the meek, little doormat submissive all apart. After a while the Dominants in her life end up handling her like a wild animal that they're hoping won't rip them apart to their component molecules.

The writing is, well…pretty non-existent. We don't know who Kym is, why she is with this new Master/Mistress (except that she probably exhausted the proceeding one), when she got slaves, or does she ever where normal clothes. We're lucky if we ever get to hear anyone's name, much less their motivations. I'll tell you if it weren't for the energy and attitude of Kym's performances, this would get real old real fast. And it's a shame, because there is stuff that could be built on.

Like Mistress Diane, for example. I loved Mistress Diane. First off she looked like a rather normal person, like someone you'd see at your bank, or in another office, or in line at the post office. This makes a wonderful change after seeing 20 feet high teased blonde hair Mistresses wearing so much vinyl that they look like a piece of Danish furniture. Also, she carries her authority in a cool, calm kind of way. She also avoids cheap shots.

Kym: (bitch growl) "For someone training me to be a Mistress, shouldn't you be doing a better job of it!?!"

Mistress Diane: (humorously cool) "Well, you're not a very good slave, so there you have it."

You have to love a Mistress like that.

Kym was so mind-blowing to me that I had to share her with others. To date my tapes have traveled to California, Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi. My friends are all becoming converted. Her election to Demi-Goddess status comes from a gentleman friend in Mississippi who declared he had an epiphany when he watched her turn to a Dom and snarled, "I said 'Hit me harder!'" For a brief moment, the Dom looked absolutely petrified.

So he and I are now founders of the High Church of Kym Wilde, Demi-Goddess of D/S. Praise be. We shall spread her works far and wide and speak reverently of Her. There are now seven members, hosanna!

I hope she isn't too alarmed. This happened to Emperor Augustus while he was alive, and he had trouble with the concept. I think his Empress just said, "There, there dear, have a little rest and it'll be okay."

Watch the tapes, in any order you can lay hot little hands on!

Be converted!!
