This year we have a truely international line up. Here is the list so far, it is by no means exhaustive. Forgive me if I have missed any names or haven’t added models yet. I’ll update it as information is passed on to me. Above, you can see Ropemarks and Dutch Dame at Ropefest, who …
Clover is much more than the star of WykD_Dave’s shows, she has other talents. In addition to being an excellent photographer and learning to tie, she recently produced ‘A guide for rope bottoms and bondage models’, a set of guidelines for those who are unfamiliar with being tied in rope bondage or those who want …
I have just posted a lot of new classes for all levels here. These include repeats of the popular ‘Bondage for Sex & Play’ and erotic techniques of ‘Tying people, not parcels’, the latter being suitable for all levels and applicable to any style of bondage, plus new classes on suspension hip harnesses and my …
BOUND is getting better and better. Nina’s improvements to the stage area have made a big difference to the ambience and photos. This month we had Riccardo Wildties and Gorgone of Kinbaku LuXuria topping the bill, you can see a video of their stunning performance here. Free and paying members can access the video simply …

Later this month, I will be off to Copenhagen Dojo for the Yukimura Haruki class to find out what the grandmaster of the art of newaza can teach me. I fully expect this to be one of those reminders that come just when you think you are beginning to learn something about a subject. No …
I have just uploaded the first of the new photos from Ropefest. One is of Valda and Falco, the rubber bodied Russian, performing in the Pro Area.
