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.

Silk Shibari

We all have unwanted companions in our lives. Mine is this extremely sensitive skin that wraps my body. At first, it felt like a terrible punishment, for I felt everything, even the softest touch, with extreme accuracy, which frequently caused me pain.

I was excited. I mean, finally there was going to be a bondage scene in a film! To make things even better, I was the one chosen to do it. So far, Hollywood has been too prudish about certain things. I mean, there was a point in the late 80s and early 90s when it…

When in Japan

I always wanted to travel. If my feet spend too much time on the ground, I begin to feel sick. I swear it’s true! Anyway, since I was a teenager, I knew there was only one choice for me: flight attendant. Some friends have asked me why I didn’t choose to be a pilot. Well,…

Who Is into Cosplay?

In the “Free the Kink” Facebook group, Mac Mclaughlin launched the question: Who is into cosplay? The answers were varied, but they say a lot about a phenomenon which is quickly becoming part of kink.
