Unlocked Memory

I had an unlocked memory from the time I was twelve. We were playing some silly game of spaceships and laser beams. After all, we were all fans of the new Star Wars trilogy. I used to play with the boys because, even though I liked dolls and pony toys, I was a big girl.…

Shibari Stops Time

Julie is one of the best bottoms I’ve ever worked with. She’s passionate about our scenes, and she’s a very kind person offstage. However, she’s always a little bit sad, lately. You see, she used to be gorgeous. I mean, really gorgeous! She showed me a few pictures from the time she worked as a…

Shibari as Couples Therapy

Some couples go to therapy, and that’s fine. But, for us, the idea of going to a stranger’s office and telling them our most intimate secrets was just not good. Moreover, the thought of paying them tons of money and spending what might become months or years working with them, was totally unconvincing. I would…

Bottom-friendly Shibari

Let me start by saying that most riggers are professional, committed, and, very frequently, kind. However, as in any profession, there are those who are abusive, rude, or even violent. I began doing Shibari a decade ago, and in my long career as a model, I have found enough examples of both kinds. Little did…

Shibari the Art of Stillness

I am a dancer. So, I use every inch of my body for beauty and art. I have disciplined every one of my muscles, so that they’ll do whatever my imagination demands of them. I move. That is, I make motion visible, so that others can see how beautiful it is. Shapes and figures grow…

Shibari Improves your Health

We went to a Shibari exhibition. It sounded like something exotic and sexy. That’s why when my husband asked me to go together, I said, why not? I didn’t know how true it is that Shibari improves your health. It was wonderful, actually! I never thought tying and restraint could be so exciting and beautiful. Truth…

Training the Touch

They say men are visual and women are sensitive to smell and touch. Now, I’m sure about my part of that story. If my girlfriend is wearing a low cleavage or if she surprises me in the bedroom with some lingerie, I get immediately turned on. I won’t deny it. However, even though she likes…

A Shibari Pioneer

I always felt I had the spirit of a pioneer inside of me. I love to explore unknown territories, either physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual. The emotion of discovering something completely new, of going where no one has gone before, is one of the most exhilarating feelings, at least for me. I didn’t know I…

Shibari Seasons

I’m a mature woman now. There’s no point in denying it. And I don’t complain. I’ve had a happy life. Maybe not from someone else’s point of view, but who cares about anybody else’s opinion about one’s life? Yet, there is pain in growing older. You lose friends, dreams, skills. It’s not easy. Of course,…

Shibari Is not for Everyone

They call me “master”. For me, that word implies a serious compromise. It took me ten years to deserve the title of “kinbakushi”, an expert in the art of Kinbaku, the erotic Japanese bondage. That’s why my students trust me. And that’s why I have to be totally honest with them and let them know…
