Nothing to do with kink.

Fuck ya indie boys showed me this picture.  This guy is wearing my shirt and the vest I haven’t been able to find yet. Also he has hair I wouldn’t mind.

Garter belt

Score! Sock Dreams sells the garter belt I have always wished existed:

Look how sturdy they are! You could bike around all day in them! (Click to go to website)

But they also gave me a crucial piece of new information: “These are the very same garters worn by hockey players”.  Hockey players wear garters?!?! I’m sure I won’t need to order these off the Internet, I can probably go into any sports store (or Canadian Tire) and buy them.  Fuck ya!!  Thank you sock dreams. When I have some money I will be sure to buy something delicious from you.

Old Japanese bondage pics

The Bondage Forum pointed me towards some older Japanese bondage photos by Mr Bunjousyashin.  There’s lots of neat stuff there.  I think I liked this one the best, because I love bums in the air.    That looks pretty challenging..  I wonder if I could self tie something like that?  I wonder if I could even be in that position at all, if someone else tied me… I have been learning that I am not physically a very good rope bottom.

There's more where that came from

Isn’t that nice?

Sexy men in suits

For some reason I saved this as a draft a while ago rather than publishing it….

Look at this sexy picture.  I like the breath on the ear and the fact that they are both wearing suits.  I like the intimate neck touching and the expressions on their faces.  Desire and passivity.  The only thing I would change is the man would be blindfolded with his own tie, instead of apparently having an extra one just hanging around.

Ushirote munenawa

The seductive art of japanese bondage, a lovely big book

Well I knew this would happen, I learned a lot about rope all at once then once I got to a certain level I quickly lost interest.  Well not completely, I am still tying up my friends when I get the chance, but in terms of sitting here tying myself up and taking photos of it, that has lost a lot of charm for me.

I have been practicing ties out of Midori’s book as well as some basic ones like binding wrists together to start.  Have tried a couple of different body harnesses.  I think they are fun to show the way ropes can be used sensually rather than only to restrain.  I have been playing only with people who have never really had ropes before so I find this a fun concept to share.

I am struggling with a tie called “ushirote munenawa” or “arm and chest tie.”  It’s supposed to look like this:

But I always get confused around this point:

I manage to get myself back on track by improvising, but I don’t think it’s really so good.  One time it slipped all over the place because I did it wrong.  I shall have to get someone to show it to me.

One thing I really do like in this tie is this little detail at the armpits:

Which ends up being pulled through and looking like quite a nice little stich:

I will have to find a way to practice this on myself so I can get good at it.

Interesting breast harness

Wow, check out this neat harness.  David Lawrence‘s site is full of creative ropework.  Here is a crazy idea from the same site.  Can you tell I like pinched nipples?

Update: I was able to duplicate this tie.  Quite nice eh?

Nice pictures of people tied up

I thought this was a sweet looking picture.  I like ropes over clothes, it looks and feels nice in a different way than rope over bare skin.

Wow this one looks pretty difficult.  I can’t tell how it’s done.

This is some nice webby stuff, very pretty:
