Early Inspirations


A collection of caps and stories that inspired me!

So I wrote in several posts how I was cleaning up my old cap stuff.  Once I was done with that I moved on to my erotica directory.  And yes, that's just a nice way to say 'porn'.  I had a LARGE collection of photos that goes back to before I had broadband internet.  Watching videos was annoyingly difficult and time consuming, let alone saving a decent copy.  But photos?  Well, I could save a series of them and make up a story in my head that went along with them.  It was simple enough to put it into a slideshow, add some smoky silky music, lean back, and enjoy some one handed entertainment.  

Too much info?  Well, this is THAT kind of post, so if you're not interested in finding out what got me from that shy, nervous, wanking fella into this creative, writing, cap creating, wanking, diva then this post just isn't for you.  

So, where were we?  Ah yes, masturbation.  Anywho, I had about 200 directories of photos.  Most of those directories were one 'set' so that they could easily be placed into a slide show.  Sadly, most of them were dated, not that interesting, and small or bad enough quality that I couldn't even make caps out of them. I ditched most of them and ended up with a little over 30 collections.  One of those early folders, however, had a collection of caps.  

I'm fairly sure these all were collected and saved from Forced Femme Caps, an early blog that I came across.  I double checked it, and that blog no longer exists but if I'm remembering it correctly it not only had the owners caps but shared some from other blogs.  I think this was where I found Rebecca Molay's blog which is where I found Dee's cap, which is where I found the Haven which is where I started capping myself.  

Anywho, I evidently was enamored enough with them to save some caps.  Looking back at them now, I see a lot of themes that are funny, but some are direct inspirations that turned into caps of my own.  You should easily recognize the one that inspired 'Party Girl'.  I swear, I didn't know I had a copy of that cap when I made Party Girl!  

Before I go too far, let me share these with you.  I won't post much comentary as the caps really speak for themselves, but I'll add some thoughts to each one.  And these aren't in any particular order, other than alphabetical to the filenames I used.  


This could easily define my 'cock' attraction.  I could spend a long LONG time sitting back and imagining both 2C-18 and 1C-24 treatments.  


This is one where I think the image did more for me rather than the story.  It's a quick set up and a drum hit punchline.  But it's still sexy! 


Yeah, I think several of my caps have touched on the multiple senses idea.  They've also had the "I'm right behind you" idea.  And that image!!! <swoon>


Do something that's embarrassing and/or humiliating to avoid a fate that is more embarrassing/humiliating?  Yeah, I might have touched upon that once in awhile!


I'm surprised I saved this.  Even back then I didn't really go for the mommy or auntie story ideas.  That being said, someone hiring out strangers to spank a made up 'wife' or 'girlfriend'?  Yeah, I can get behind that.  And again... that picture!  <swoon>


The picture is nice, but the 'story' doesn't do much for me anymore.  Now a days I want more backstory.   It doesn't have to be one of my multi panel drama caps, but a little more on how 'Jamie' got into this situation and isn't fighting or struggling would be nice.  Blackmail?  Magic?  Debt?  Roomy with a closet full of girlfriend's old clothes where the new roomy ruined his in the washer machine, learning only later that the fella set it up so he'd have nothing to wear but femmy clothes.... yeah, something along those lines.  


There's a sliding scale from sweet, almost virginal, images that aren't porn in the least to the over-the-top show off the messed up hair and bukake face of a porn start with big fake tits.  This is to far to one side for my tastes.  I don't need every woman in a cap to be beautifully made up, but this is just too.... umm... no.  Fun story though!


If there's a cap that inspired my story style, this would be it.  Guy goes into something that sounds good, gets transformed believing it's for the good of others, and gets absolutely 'screwed'.  Yum!  While I didn't exactly have the story in mind, I've had this image in my mind for years and years and years! 


Nope.  I must have had a cum fetish to go along with my cock fetish.  While I love writing about and imaging tasting, licking, sucking, feeling, smelling, touching, and experiencing cum, I want it to be PART of the story.  Not ALL of the story. 


A nice fun 'she made me over for her boyfriend' trope!  Love it! 


This one.  This one right here.  This stayed with me for over 10 years to inspire 'Party Girl'.  Being transformed by someone to keep you 'innocent' while your own thoughts and fetishes corrupts the process and makes it overtly humiliating and embarrassing... oh the squirm factor!  


Going full bore into the 'pink'.  Nice.  I'm not a fan of the 'compelled to do this while still hating it' but it works well enough for this cap.  


Cousin.  Nope.  I'd look at this as a hired hand that gets taken advantage of by the current staff... but hey, cousin porn is popular again! 


The rare 'no man' scenario.  




Hey.. are you telling me that caps can go longer than one page?  Hmm... I wonder if I could run with that? Oh, and getting stuck for entire semesters as a house sissy?  Yes please! 


Using the perspective of the person being transformed is something I've used.  I've also used the complete conversational style where it's just the girlfriend/wife talking to the femmed up boyfriend/husband while showing 'her' what it's like to use and get used by a real cock.  Mmmm.


Another theme I like more in idea than execution.  And know that when I say it like that I'm not trying to dis these caps here.  I obviously like them enough, even today, to keep them.  I just don't particularly find many caps like this that hit the right spot for me.  But as a whole, being stuck and used by those that know you while you don't know who is using you?  Squirmtastic!  Oh, and if you haven't seen, Saragirl is particularly good at expressing this idea!   



Another theme that I was more of a fan back then.  The whole 'whoa, I don't know what happened, how did I get these cocks in my hands' type of scenario.  It just glosses over too much.  


The zinger at the end.  OH MY GOD I laughed out loud!  This reminds me of Dee!  




So, those are the caps I saved back.  I should add that beyond suspecting they were from the Forced Femme Caps blog, I have no idea who made these.  If you know, I'd love to give them proper credit as they've obviously worked as inspiration for me for years and years.  I'm thinking the bridesmaid one is from a different artists only because it has a different feel, layout, and includes a title.  But I could be wrong.  


Now, writing this post had two inspirations.  One was this treasure trove of caps I found.  The other was a conversation with a friend on discord.  She shared some of the early stories that really pulled her into the genre.  I naturally shared mine... embarrassingly several weeks after she shared with me... and it made me sit back and wonder.  You see, the stories she shared involved magic or technology fully transforming someone.  I hadn't even given it a second thought until I shared my own early reading examples that mine involved more crossdressing.  

The earliest even nearly related story I remember reading and enjoying was Princess by Parker.  The story is a classic trope.  A nerdy guy has the most popular girl show interest in him.  She invites him to a big party for all the popular kids and tells him that it's not only a costume party, it's a cross dressing party.  He should dress up as a girl while she goes as a guy.  She gets him transformed into a believable looking girl, then drops the surprise when he gets to the party and finds no one dressed up at all.  He then gets trapped by the girl's former boyfriend who had recently dumped her.  Naturally the boyfriend takes a liking to the new 'girl' and kisses her and dances with her, much to the chagrin, embarrassment, and humiliation of the new 'girl'.  

Eventually they end up on a private balcony where the popular girl shows her former beau that he's been dancing and making out with a guy.  She blackmails them into continuing the charade forcing the nerdy guy to be her former boyfriend's new girlfriend.  Of course this was all consummated with a blowjob (love those blowjobs!).  It goes on from there, but it's not like the guy gets magicked into a girl or gets technologically advanced breasts or even a pussy replacement installed.  He's just forced to cross dress and sexually please this bully for a year.  

The next story was a straight up sex romp.  Cyndi's Gown by SissyM.  And I do love a good sex romp.  But again, this is a business man transformed and taken too far down a trail of feminization and sissification than he thought he could stomach.  It's a lovely tale that gets bad, then worse, then much worse then... on and on.  

What made me stop and go 'hmmmm?' was this.  Was I subconsciously attracted to these stories because a part of me already knew I was queer?  That I wasn't the 'man' I made myself out to be?  I mean, I think I first came across Princess shortly after highschool!  What I said to myself during that part of my life was that it was a fetish.  That I liked the forced feminization.  But was I really more attracted to the idea of 'realistically' being transformed?  I'm not talking tech vs magic, I'm talking real vs impossible.  

Maybe I'm just trying to hard to find something that isn't there.  It certainly didn't show up in my early caps.  My first two were in the vein of cross dressing, but they were short and... well... bad.  When I got better at writing I used fantastic technology and magic like everybody else.  My heroes became true heroines.  Obviously, I've come a long way.  My last story, Thesis, tried to follow a 'realistic' transformation.  Long term training, surgery, and eventually hormones.  The story I keep trying to write right now has some unrealistic technology but the guy doesn't end up a girl... he's just in a position where he can't prove he's a guy!  He's still 'fully equipped down there'.  

Anyway, I don't have a conclusion or deep thought to end this with.  It just made me think and thought you might like this little peek into some early inspirations for me.

  1. Well, May *IS* masturbation month, so it makes complete sense as to why you'd post this caption now, and list many things that yanked your chain and 'motivated' you at the same time!

    Looking at these "influential" captions .. I am amazed that you indeed liked most of my output, since these are all so "explicit", especially compared to my works. I'm guessing that you liked my stuff because it made you think about the before and the after; and let your imagination take over, where obviously your mind wandered to all sorts of blowjobs and such! LOL

    Most of those captions are from one captioner, which does show a good progression of photoshopping skills, probably from 2007-08, when people really starting upping their captioning work beyond using MS Paint. As of right now, I couldn't give you a creator of any of those, other than I remember seeing their work, as things like placement of text, font choice, gradient wipes, etc .. do lead you to definite artists.

    So glad that you are still plugging away at captions and stories! Keep up the good work!

    1. Heya Dee! Well, like many things in life, I enjoy a variety of things for a variety of reasons. Yes, these are the XXX girls gurls girls of caps that inspired me while yours were often the sweeter or funnier side. But just as I like a good popcorn munching big budget silly superhero movie, I also really like a wonderful quiet independent foreign film. And yeah, yours moved around the sex but sometimes hinted at it, leaving it to my (the readers) imagination (heh… blowjobs!).

      I can’t say for sure when these were created, but they were all last modified by me in 2008.

      I’m glad to still be plugging away. It’s now a game of time management as I only really dabble on the weekends. So, am I going to update the blog? Make a cap/obscurra? Write more of ‘Just Dance’? Or go off and enjoy some non ‘Caitlyn’ type activity?

  2. Forced Femme Caps was a great introduction to the concept of going dark, and dirty.... and making the reader squirm. So many Yahoo and Lycos groups (and on the softer side Becky's Caps on Yahoo Groups). Like the Jaded Captions (always with a deep purple background). Thanks for the trip down memory lane and definitely...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

    1. Thanks Candy! I think, just like that scene in all the best movies where the young couple go down the dark corridor or alley, we all love some dark and dirty. Some are just better equipped to admit it! And I’ll try my best to keep chugging along. I’m sure if I do, some of my work will be good!

  3. Forced Femme caps was one the first blogs I also went to. The old blog doesn't exist anymore but they remade it under the name Femmified. You can find most of their old caps there. They focus on the age regression stuff now though.

    1. Nice! Thanks Neko! I've found it on Tumbler and followed it. Not sure I'll enjoy the age regression as much, but it does look to be the same artist!
