Shibari for Inspiration

I have the greatest job on earth: they pay me to be creative. My ideas are worth money, and everything I have, I owe to my imagination. I work in an advertising agency, and, if I wanted to, I could get a job in another one, and they would pay twice my current salary. But…

The Mysterious Rigger

I know it sounds odd, but what could I do? On the one hand, I am a professor: I studied for years, I’ve accumulated hundreds of teaching hours, and I have over a dozen publications under my belt. On the other hand, since I first learned about Shibari, when I was in college and my…

Productivity Bonus

Productivity Bonus He is lazy. I love him, but he is lazy. Not couch potato kind of lazy, but, if I had to define him in one word, it would be “procrastination”. More than once he has struggled to meet his deadlines —he works as a graphic designer—. And I have tried a dozen ways…

Shibari for Depression

I felt depressed, really depressed. It was one of those days when everything seemed gray, old, and meaningless. My friends took me out for a girl’s night.

Shibari and Instagram

I would have never done it, but she asked me to. And I just can’t say no to her. I like to keep things for myself, especially the things that happen when we are alone, but she’s a few years younger and she firmly believes we should share our joy with the world. Who can…
