Mr. Pepper

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…

I always Consented

A couple of weeks ago, Ms. Dorothy Kupra, also known as “The Purple Witch,” a renowned feminist, devoted her weekly column on The Warrior Vagina website to criticizing BDSM in general and bondage in particular. In her text, Ms. Kupra said that BDSM is “by definition, oppressive to women.” She also stated that “while it…

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…

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

Ropes. I’ve lived surrounded by them. I’m not kidding. When you’re born and raised in one of the hundreds of towns sprinkled among rural Montana, the most probable thing is that you end up knowing quite a lot about barns, farming, tractors, and ropes. Of course, not all cowgirls end up with an affection for…

I Love what You’re Doing to Me

“I love what you’re doing to me.” These are the words that true first-class lovers want to hear. Some men will tell you that it’s “you’re so big” – the phrase that everybody wants to hear – but that’s incorrect. Someone can be big and hurt and have a selfish good time, while their partner…

Ugly Hands

I don’t know why I love Lana. She’s shallow and vain. She’s an expert at telling you exactly what you don’t want to hear, and she’ll always find a way to irritate you. On the other hand, she’s got a spectacular body, she dances like a devil, and there’s not a single kink she’s not…

First Time Doing Shibari

The other day, my friends and I were talking about our first time doing Shibari. For some, their first time with ropes was equivalent to the time when they lost their virginity; for others, it was barely a special day. Dave, for example, had already tried half a dozen other kinks before Shibari. So, for…
