I recently received an email from a self-professed “local known expert” and veteran educator of some 20 years experience after making my post asking what could be done, if anything, to protect people from incompetent teachers. His reply was strewn with personal insults and made light of my concerns over nerve damage saying: “Nerve issues …
I’ve been busy sourcing rope recently. Prompted by the recent reports of rope breaks, I decided to look for something that would reduce risk without compromising look and feel. By mid-November, I should have samples of a new super strong reinforced jute in 5mm and 6mm. There is new stock of Tossa Lite on the …

Besides Nina (bondage model) and myself (numerous sections), you’ll find Kinoko, Hebari, Wildties, Zamil, Yukimura, WykD_Dave and even my …
If you have looked at my shop and tuition pages recently, you might have noticed that I have been purging PayPal from my site and instead implementing Google checkout. I think the interface is infinitely superior and they are happy to handle my DVDs. You might have noticed that I lost affection for PayPal after …
