Tying the Boss

I’m a construction worker. That may sound to you like a boring job. But it becomes more interesting when you’re gay and you have to lead a double life, in which, during the day, you’re a tough guy, and, at night, you’re a sweet gay. And when I ended up tying the boss, I realized…

Shibari and Gender Stereotypes

A gender stereotype is a generalized view about men and women, and their proper activities. Gender stereotypes frequently lead to prejudice, since they establish what a person can or cannot do according to their gender. Shibari, on the other hand, has an essentially kink vision.
