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.…

It All Began with Shoelaces

When and how did you start being kinky? That’s an interesting question. And I always ask it to my friends, or to the people I want to be friends with. For me, it all began with shoelaces. I’ll tell you how. Shoelaces are the most common and cheapest kind of rope. You probably hadn’t seen…

Stay on the Ground

I can’t stay on the ground. Period. Since I was a kid, I thought that the world was a wonderful place, except for the fact that we, humans, had to stay stuck to the ground. For me, the force of gravity is the greatest villain in history. By the way, my name is Emily. As…

Mr. Pepper was the most vanilla person you could ever meet. He always spoke as if he were writing a letter to City Hall. You know, “Oh, Ms. Lombardo, it’s so joyful to meet you by chance on this wonderful morning.” You would never see him with less than three layers of clothing, even on…

Shibari Nightmare

I tune pianos. That’s what I do for a living. I know how it sounds: boring. And I agree. Spending three or four hours fine-tuning over a hundred metal strings is not my idea of a party. However, I have an excellent ear. No kidding. I can tell an A from a G. Moreover, I…

Sick of Predators

I’m sick of predators. I truly am. You see, I’m a rigger. I have the talent, but I don’t have the money. It takes me weeks, sometimes months, to save enough money to buy a new rope or to rent a studio. Bondage is an expensive activity. And, I’m not the kind of person who…

Souvenir

It is difficult when different women gather for the funeral of the same man. But then again, Jerry was always a difficult man. Fortunately or unfortunately, I was the last one. That means I was his fourth wife, the ninth woman he lived with, and his thirtieth-something lover. I know what you’re thinking, but hey,…

The Case of the Fuzzy Ropes

My name is Horatio Boulez. Yes, it’s a ridiculous name, but it’s the one I got. As you can infer, there’s French ethnicity in my family. Grandpa arrived in America in the 1950s, and blah, blah, blah.  Everybody thought that, being “French”, I would be an expert in romance. But I couldn’t care less about…
