A while back I was sitting at my desk job, bored, and decided to read an article on this cool technique for running meetings called “Open Space Technology.” It was based on the knowledge that, at any conference, convention, or structured meeting, the most productive stuff happens in the spontaneous gatherings outside the planned events.[…]

No, I didn’t do the review…dammit, haven’t gotten on Claire or Nina’s mailing lists. Yet. But there’s a great review of the DVD over at Fleshbot, including a snippet of video. It’s pretty evident that you can learn as much from watching the way Claire handles the rope as from what she says – just[…]

As a parent and also a sex educator, I have a soft spot for parents doing alternative things while also raising their kids. And while I’ve never met her, I’ve enjoyed and admired the work of Catalina, a sex blogger and Mom who has run smack into some really rotten prejudices and double dealing. Here’s[…]

I’ve been told by some that I really ought to have an “appearances” page of places I’m going, since I travel so much. I’ll get to that, really. But meanwhile, here’s a gig coming up soon: BASIC ROPE SUSPENSION TECHNIQUE Want to fly? We all hear how dangerous suspension is, how it shouldn’t be done[…]

I’ve recently been honored with becoming part of the staff of the Studio Chicago, a new pro dungeon run by my friends Mistress Jaded and Mistress Simone. It’s a beautiful space with some of the most amazing equipment I’ve ever seen, and it was the scene of the recent happy mindfuck with Ava Amnesia as[…]

Just spent two hours on Skype with a hot bi babe talking about rope play and hot suspension… That’s right, Lqqkout, Nyxx, Sabrina Fox and I will be presenting a class on suspension – more of a workshop, really – at the upcoming Spankfestival. I’m really happy with the outline we came up with –[…]

I just got done uploading the edited audio file of Audible Rope Theatre: The ART of Rita. This was a pleasurable fundraising/long term scene between Rita Seagrave and I, where we offered sponsorships to people in exchange for access to (and influence over) a rope scene between the two of us. The scene is entertaining,[…]

I’m safe and sound here in Denver at Thunder in the Mountains, of which I’ll write more later. But as I was weeding through my email box I came across the latest galleries from the Bondage Bank, specifically Fucked and Bound. Maria Bellucci (ah, such an evocative name) was getting thoroughly put through her paces[…]

Remember: Rope is edge play. Rope is serious. You can’t fuck around with it, and the practitioners are highly evolved actualized spiritually aware dominants and submissives who always focus on the higher connections enabled by a steady flow of mitochlorions through the aetheric vapors emitted as arousal-induced Reichian flow… Ok,  ok, I can’t keep typing[…]

Wouldn’t you know it, she waits until I’m out of town, and then she goes on stage and kicks ass putting Foxy Veronica herself into bondage! And yes, that’s her own rope she’s using. I couldn’t be prouder of my Ms. Behavin’, and you’ll love these pics (taken by Abby) at the Inferno in Madison,[…]
