It’s been an interesting week, apart from the usual grind. I can now add canoes to the list of inanimate objects I have tied which already included handbags, shoes, shop dummies and more parcels than I care to think about. We spent one day creating an installation by suspending a 5m dug-out canoe in the …
The usual caveat with wrist ties is to leave a little wiggle room to avoid cutting off circulation. However, this is by no means the biggest problem, at least not in the sort of time frames we are likely to be talking about. There’s no doubt you can cause a lot of damage if you …
Nina and I have been doing some webcam sessions with MaYa recently on Cam4. These consist on one hour play sessions with rope as the primary tool. I will give Nina credit, she really works hard and usually has MaYa in suspension for a large portion of that time, no mean feat considering she is …

Obviously, we have some of the ‘usual suspects’ …

The first set is an informal session with our sultry Spanish model, MaYa Homerton in my living-room, the other with Kazami Ranki and Gestalta, who is now his official UK model. Kazami-san has a true eye for ‘beautiful suffering’ as …
Having seen some people dyeing my linen hemp in fantastic colours, I thought it would be fun to run a photo competition. The winner will receive a set of eight linen hemp ropes in the length and diameter of their choice (5mm/6mm and 8m/10m) and the winning photo will be used in promotions and advertising with appropriate …
In my post entitled ‘Nerve Injury Upper Thigh Numbness‘ , I high-lighted the problems of femoral cutaneous nerve compression from hip harnesses and pressure near the front of the hip bone.
