A Rope Fantasy

People are afraid of me. Perhaps you fear me, too. I’m a dentist. And even though I try to be nice and provide comfort to my patients, they always get nervous. I guess it comes with the job. Many of them ask for anesthesia, even if the procedure they’re having is not a complicated one.…

The New Gigi

The movie is old, so perhaps you haven’t seen it. Well, it goes something like this: a young woman is trained to be the “special date” of a rich man. It’s like an escort with only one client, to say it clearly. That was back in the 1950s, so both the movie and the book…

Shibari Swing

You’ve all seen a sex swing. It’s harder to set up than a bicycle, but it’s way more fun! Talking about fun, try hiring a contractor to install the damn thing. They’ll believe you’re some kind of Hugh Heffner wannabe. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you about is how much better a Shibari swing…

Shibari Is Rico

I’m an old-fashioned man, I’ve got to tell you. I like to be a gentleman with my woman and give her gifts, not because I’m buying them or anything like that, but because I want them to know how special they are to me. And I like my women to be the way women used…

Fire and Ice

Contrast is the spice of life. Monotony is the beginning of death. Everything in life changes, and frequently, it goes from one extreme to the other. From the bleakness of winter to the color of spring, everything swings from one state of things to another, completely different. It’s one of life’s foundations. And it’s the…
