How will this information be used? Quite simple. Every month or two, I will send out a newsletter giving you updates on events, bondage courses and anything else bondage related, e.g. great rope prices. If you chose to buy something or come on a course, great! It will help me keep this site free. You can opt out anytime and I promise I won't bombard you with spam. Not a lot to ask for one of the best free specialist bondage sites, is it? If you are not happy with that, use the Exit button or the Back button in your browser.

The objectives of this site are to:

• Attempt to stimulate innovative bondage influenced by traditional Shibari/Kinbaku
• To help newcomers to reach new levels of experience (see Tuition)
• To exchange ideas and information
• To document my journey into learning this skill

Please feel free to contribute information, articles and photos. I try to keep information accurate but It can be a bit of a minefield sorting out misinformation from information, so corrections are always welcome.

The site is not intended to be pornographic, although some images are certainly adult. Kinbaku is a combination of the erotic, sadomasochistic and artistic. The proportions will often vary according to the situation and the participants. Anyway, i hope the site will appeal to those who appreciate the art, rather that for 'one-handed' viewing. There are a lot of other very professional sites catering for the latter.

My webmaster, Kai Ono, has updated the whole site and has introduced a new layout for gallery pictures and we have added some new videos. We hope you like the new look.

The gallery is growing rapidly. The latest additions are from my month in Japan. I have several CDs full of pictures and hours of video. Several new sets have been added already.

There are lots of new photos thanks to Andy of Gothic Image and Hawk. Andy's shoot was with Roswell Ivory, who has graced this site several times before. As always, looking lovely in latex! Hawk captures the aptly named Miss Pixie's reactions to her first time in Japanese bondage and, in contrast, those of Miss Micro, who is a rope addict - it shows!

I have just added four new galleries from Boundcon 2008.

I have now assembled a comprehensive starter kit comprising: 5 x 15m lengths of untreated 6mm jute rope, i.e. enough for 10 x 7.5m ropes, 50ml Tsubaki oil for conditioning it , EMT/safety shears and instructions on how to treat the rope. At £50 + p&p, this sets costs less than just the rope from other suppliers and gives you everything you need for even the most advanced bondage.

For the kits and other rope related items, see the Rope Sales section of my site.

IThe latest updates to the nerve damage study are linked to the Safety section. This study is work in progress and probably always wil be. However, it is probably the most comprehensive bondage related study on upper body nerve issues and includes clear photographs showing the approximate danger areas. I say "approximate" since it is not possible to be definitive as we are as different on the inside as on the outside. Each person must be individually assessed due to these differences, varying susceptibilities and previous history. In addition, the physics of each bondage session is unique and influenced by factors such as rope thickness, number of wraps and weight of the model.
