Sorry about the wait but I think you will agree it’s worth it when you see the new uploads. I finally found my photos from Toubaku of a very memorable show by Naka Akira, who is something of an idol to those who know his work. There is also some great work by Nina Russ …
It seems all the back room stuff has been completed and the time has come to switch over to the new server. I have just changed over the name servers, so unless I have screwed that up, you should see an improvement in reliability and speed within the next 24 hours or so. From what …
I have just heard that I have won some places in the Bondage Awards. Although it is seen by many as just a popularity contest rather than any great gauge of merit, I am honoured to have some recognition. Granted some categories had barely any entries, so getting Runner Up or Honourable Mention probably means …
Until tonight, there was a fascinating thread running on Fetlife’s Kinbaku Group discussing the wrist tie in the TK and specifically Marai Masato’s technique but for some reason, it was closed for further discussion. I say “for some reason” as the stated reason doesn’t seem to justify closing the thread. It appears to be a …
I have never heard much said about using the multiple contact points that rope affords. Although I have long employed this idea, I have recently started to solidify it into my theory. I am not saying all the ideas are new by any means but I have never seen the principles consolidated into a single …

Anyone involved in the score of La Fille Mal Gardée. A musicologist just said Saint-Saens to me. Hmn. By contrast, the composer and performer Graham Fitkin is making real meringues, ones …
I hate to say it but I saw a list of dates for last suggested posting dates for Xmas (you know, that traditional Yule/Winter Solstice highjacked by the Christians) in the post office yesterday. Some more far flung destinations need you to post by 5 December. Bearing in mind that not all orders go out …
Nina and I are starting to plan the second set of shibari tutorials. These will to continue from where ‘Tying people, not parcels’ left off and to develop this theme. Some years ago, whilst discussing sex and bondage with the late Prof Petruska Clarkson of Harley Street, she said “most people treat sex like cleaning …
I have just loaded up a gallery of photos of our ‘Bob the Builder’ show by the very talented Izaskun Gonzalez. They galleries contain duplicates but these have been subjected to Izas’s uniquely distinctive post-production for a very different feel. Check back over the next couple of days as there will be more of Nina. …
