The Kink Blog: Bootblacking for Beginners.
Set some boundaries that construct you feel excellent. There’s nothing worse than investing into loving someone and it going south and even hurting one or both of you. The best way to make sure that you’re both getting what you depend on (which is how you’ll enjoy it most) is to make the rules up as you go. Maybe you’d love to lay someone’s boots on for them, but you get damage when they state how dirty the boots are. You deserve to sense good when you’re loving someone, and that would truly allow you to grow in your own pleasure too! Use the knowledge you already possess about one another to start off, and then those rules will develop with you as you grow in your practice, because we naturally grasp more about ourselves through what hurts and what feels good. If you use that as a gauge, you literally can’t depart wrong with what a bootblack looks like in your life.

Paris In the 1830s, mid regency period, in the ever-growing metropolis of Paris the streets were literally flowing over with excrements. So crafty city dwellers made a living of hiring out portable wooden bridges to people to cross the mess in the street (“passe paye”) and, while at it, offered services of cleaning up those who were unfortunate enough to have stepped into something. These went by the name of “decrotteurs”. “Une crotte” is a turd. Yep, “de-poopers”.
This synonyms evolved to indicate “bootblack” over moment and still exists in some french speaking countries, while the French cleaned up their language and go with “cireur des botte” now. And speaking of “cleaning up, once Paris got sewers, those formerly hauling wooden bridges over the flow of poop changed their job description to just cleaning and waxing shoes, which were now made predominantly of leather. And violá, the street bootblack was born!
So here’s the first Daguerreotype “Boulevard du Temple“, Paris. Taken by Louis Daguerre in 18

This is a very short period tale of an older gentleman detecting the previously unsampled delights of sex with a handsome young man.

Valter Landgrave stumbled over his control feet as he left the tavern, to the tittering and edification of two ladies of the night. He'd fucked them both not long since but had wearied of them and would not bring them to his chambers tonight. Tonight, he was half gone, drunk on ale and too much port wine, and in need of something else to assuage his nameless hunger this bedraggled night.
He squinted into the darkness, lit only with the coal-gas lamps that lined the cobbled path, and caught a sound on the wet breeze. It was a sound he knew well, a whistle, clean and pure. A lad, whistling as he shined boots in the shoe-shining quarter of the city.
Without thinking, Valter stumbled towards the sound, pausing when the lad paused, staring about in confusion as he forgot his purpose, then wandering forward again as the sound beckoned him.
His meandering took him to a part of the town he wouldn't usually traverse after dark. Here, thieves and vagabonds prowled, searching out anyone who might be easily parted with their coi

Jaecks even competed in and won Fail to catch International Bootblack 2004, taking an old beat-up pair of army boots to a full military spit shine.
Before competing, though, Jaecks learned how to polish boots out of necessity, working on her own shoes that she brought to study abroad in Europe.
"I walked everywhere, easily 10 miles a day," says Jaecks. "I had to carry out something with my boots, so I bought a can of polish and a toothbrush. Eventually, I bought supplies and started doing it for real."
