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…

Forgotten Body

It was Shibari who helped me recover my forgotten body. You may be wondering what I mean by that. Well, it’s easy. When was the last time you felt your toes? Can you tell the shape and size of your kneecaps? That’s what I mean when I say forgotten body: all the body parts that…

Tying a Stranger

Ideally, you should get married and share every aspect of your life with your wife. However, that’s not always the case. I have a friend who’s a huge fan of baseball, while his wife can’t stand seeing a bat. Another friend has a passion for postage stamps, whereas his wife thinks that’s the nerdiest hobby…

Shibari Taught Me to Be Vulnerable

It was horrible. It was worse than my worst nightmare. And it was the moment when Shibari taught me to be vulnerable. My husband and I were coming back from a night at the cinema—you know, one of those “let’s get away without the kids and remember how it used to be” kind of nights.…

Mr. Mckenna

I should say Harry. Or, maybe, my husband Harry; or my hubby Harry, which sounds fun. But he would never allow me to refer to him in such an “indecent” manner. He is Mr. Mckenna, lawyer, father, and patriot. And even at the family table, our five sons and I must address him in that…

Uncle Gab

You have to understand, my brother. He wanted to be forever young, forever cool, and forever alternative, meaning unconventional. Now, that’s not what I would call a realistic set of goals. Of course, when he was young, he more or less got away with it. After all, he’s handsome, smart, and works his ass off…

Rope Magician

I’m a magician, but not the kind of magician you’re thinking of. I don’t wear a tuxedo or a top hat. Neither do I wear gothic makeup or pretend to be the coolest guy on earth. However, I do have something unique to offer. I don’t do card tricks, fire tricks, or knife tricks. I…

Ropes Kitchen

Nothing is real on TV, believe me. However, to update it, I should say: “Whatever you see on a screen, it’s not real”. Trust me, I’ve worked in the media since my early twenties. And, all things considered, I can tell you that eleven out of ten things you see on your screen are fake.…

Insecure Dominants

Sebastian Melmoth, a member of the “Free the Kink” Facebook group, posted a series of questions about insecure dominants. This must be a sensible topic for many people, for there were 147 comments, way more than for most of the other posts. The BDSM community frequently discusses the topic of vulnerability. However, they are not…
