No doubt you have noticed a dramatic upturn in the quality of the photos from BOUND. This is largely thanks to the relentless efforts of Manolo Remmidi who is not only lightening fast in getting the fruits of his labours on line but has a real eye for capturing those special moments. I’ll getting sets …
Steampunk vampire-fanged and demon-clawed mistress, Aemilia Hawk, from Bristol took some time off this weekend to switch for her partner, Ben, who has recently contracted a serious case of the Shibari Syndrome. Apparently, he has been exhibiting similar symptoms to Nina: incessant and repeated watching of videos of the Japanese masters at work, often as …
I recently came across a couple of “shibari performance” videos recently that demonstated nothing more than shambari executed in a shambolic and unsafe manner posted by people offering lessons in shibari. I’m not talking about just poor style, I mean really ignoring basic safety. As a result, I felt complelled to start a thread, called …
I only just noticed that my eBay shop was starting to resemble Steptoe & Sons’ junk yard. I have made a start on sorting it out and will continue to improve it. There’s an application in for a merchant account so when I get that I will have my own online store without PayPal’s constraints …
Mackenzie Cross was kind enough to provide a review of my DVDs, which I will reproduce here. Unbelievably, I was not the result of duress or bribery but I definitely shall be buying him a few beers now I have seen it! A number of weeks ago I was contacted by Esinem (aka Bruce) to …

But I am afraid I have mainly gotten to generate new doubts instead giving explanations. …

Here’s something I wrote back in 2004 about the psychology of bondage and why people do it. I need to review it and probably amend and add to it but, that said, I think most of it still stands in spite of having learned a lot since. I will try to explain why people do …
A strong plywood ring turned to 1″ (25mm) which is a slightly more compact and slimmer version of the one seen in almost all of my photos and shows. At around 5.75 ounces (160g), it is around the same weight as a hank of rope. It won’t weigh down you rope bag, so is perfect …
If you are like I was a day or two, you will he asking what the hell is an RSS feed and why would I want one anyway? OK, I apologise to those of you who know all about them and wonder which rock I have been living under not to have one already. As …
