How will this information be used? Quite simple. Every month or two, I will send out a newsletter giving you updates on events, bondage courses and anything else bondage related, e.g. great rope prices. If you chose to buy something or come on a course, great! It will help me keep this site free. You can opt out anytime and I promise I won't bombard you with spam. Not a lot to ask for one of the best free specialist bondage sites, is it? If you are not happy with that, use the Exit button or the Back button in your browser.

The objectives of this site are to:

• Attempt to stimulate innovative bondage influenced by traditional Shibari/Kinbaku
• To help newcomers to reach new levels of experience (see Tuition)
• To exchange ideas and information
• To document my journey into learning this skill

Please feel free to contribute information, articles and photos. I try to keep information accurate but It can be a bit of a minefield sorting out misinformation from information, so corrections are always welcome.

The site is not intended to be pornographic, although some images are certainly adult. Kinbaku is a combination of the erotic, sadomasochistic and artistic. The proportions will often vary according to the situation and the participants. Anyway, i hope the site will appeal to those who appreciate the art, rather that for 'one-handed' viewing. There are a lot of other very professional sites catering for the latter.

Spider web

Any day now, I will be updating the galleries with some great new photos. Here is October Noire, left, the latest fly to be invited into my web. There will also be a few pictures from the Bizarre Ball, above, continuing the spider web theme. Well, it was Halloween season, wasn't it? Well, now it's Christmas. Time to get out my baubles and start wrapping. In seasonal spirit, I must share the contribution of Violently and Ellie the Nomad to the art of turkey bondage, far left.

Due to demand, I now offer 2 hour evening classes on Tuesdays at 8pm. Hopefully, this will suit those who cannot make the Saturday courses. As I will be rotating the evening courses every six weeks or so, there will be an opportunity to catch up if you miss a class. The 'term' will comprise 4 lessons, which will equate to the one-day course. The next term starts on Tuesday, 21 October. There's an article in Metro by Lisa Scott, who attended one of the classes.

January has sold out already. The February course was over-booked twice over last year. It must be the Valentine's Day effect! However, a course will have a better effect on your love life and carry on doing so long after the candlelit dinner has been digested and the red roses have faded ;-)

Most courses have been selling out recently, so make sure you book early.

The latest updates to the nerve damage study are linked to the Safety section. This study is work in progress and probably always will be. However, it is probably the most comprehensive bondage related study on upper body nerve issues and includes clear photographs showing the approximate danger areas. I say "approximate" since it is not possible to be definitive as we are as different on the inside as on the outside. Each person must be individually assessed due to these differences, varying susceptibilities and previous history. In addition, the physics of each bondage session is unique and influenced by factors such as rope thickness, number of wraps and weight of the model.
