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…

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…

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,…

It happened when we were kids. it’s not unusual, actually. You would be amazed at how many people discovered their taste for bondage at an early age. Mike was 14 and I was 12. We saw a “bad guy” in some silly cartoon tying the hero and we decided we should try it out. We…

I don’t know exactly whose idea it was. But it is clear that we all liked it from the start. We are all part of the bondage community, so, for us, discussing ropes and knots is as normal as another group of women talking about crochet, cooking, or books. Little did I know we would…

They say I’m rude, but I’m not. I am very competitive, I can acknowledge that, but in the world of business, if you’re not a shark, you’re a prey. Anyway, this girl at the office kept saying that I was too rude, and that someone ought to teach me a lesson. It was all a…
