This weekend seems to have become Shibari Weekend. On Friday, there’s BOUND with special guests, Riccardo Wildties (Italy) and Gorgone (France), plus a great line up which includes WykD_Dave and Clover. Last month, Nina ran a spectacular night and made a lot of improvements. Don’t miss it this month. On Saturday, Wildties of Kinbaku LuXuria …
