Rope bondage,
How my oh-so-difficult start with this in the past turned into an enormous creative challenge. And working with rope has become something over the years that I really enjoy doing.
If I knew myself at all back then, I was always the “take a nail and hammer it into a piece of wood” type. In other words, I missed out on the genes that allow you to knit and crochet.
This resulted in the fact that I originally didn’t really like bondage (working with rope, I should say) at all. I did it, but only as a means to quickly restrain someone. And I preferred to use existing materials for this, such as handcuffs.
This was not a problem at all when I (BD)SM was still purely a hobby (a single regular private person/slave) and I had to deal with it.
Well, then came the moment when I had the opportunity to turn my hobby into my job and start working in renowned studios. I quickly discovered that things work a little differently there (there are definitely people/subs who love rope and the feeling it gives them).
Apart from the fact that I quickly found myself hungry for curiosity and learning. Learning what I didn’t know, which included working with rope.
The first studio wasn’t such a big problem, but the second studio was different. Those moments when there were no appointments or sessions and we sat together with a small team were filled with practicing, learning, and expanding our skills. I can still hear a colleague (as if it were yesterday) making various statements and saying things. Like the famous statement to one of those slaves and me, “Come on, walk to the studio, we’re going to practice bondage.” And when we were busy and my colleague had tied a piece of rope to that slave girl (while I stood watching), she shouted things like, “See, if you have this and you do that, you get this situation and you can do this and that with your rope.”
I stood there, literally, watching and thinking, “Whatever, to me it’s gibberish, I don’t see it and I don’t get it.” Needless to say, this was the situation for quite some time.
But then again, I am someone who cannot stand that about myself and feels that I must (be able to) learn it. As a perfectionist, I don’t yet realize that it is precisely this trait that makes it even more difficult, but in my dictionary, there is no such thing as “I can’t.”
With a lot of practice, a lot of observation, a lot of learning about anatomy, endlessly watching videos on the internet. I still do that today and ask questions, questions, questions. Can I now say, “Yes, I can do it. Yes, I understand it. Yes, I enjoy doing it. Yes, the challenge of creating is endless and challenging.
So much for now about me and my journey of learning and discovery.
Rope, well, what else can I say about it?
In any case, rope gives me the opportunity to fully express all my creativity, inventiveness, imagination, and empathy, and in my mind there are no limits to the possibilities I have when using rope. That in itself benefits you and gives you the necessary advantages, or does it?
It is a wonderful material to feel as it slips through my hands while I am working with your body.
Whether that is to dress you, secure you, tie you up from head to toe, or prepare you for one of my brainstorming sessions? There is always the chance to find out if you are curious enough.
It is a soft material, it feels very gentle on your body and it gives you warmth, but it can also immobilize you relentlessly, hurt you, and render you powerless and suffering in ways you probably cannot (yet) imagine.
Slowly, piece by piece, I will take away your freedom of movement with the aim of making you helpless to the torments I have in store for you.
Or will you eventually be hoisted up and swing high above the ground while being “forced” to endure everything, simply because you have no way out?
And you may even discover for yourself that the only word that can offer you that escape is not one you want to use. Because this is so special that you are eager to endure it. Not only seeking out that boundary, but also pushing it further.
Using my ropes as solo material or as an extra, in one of my other possibilities.
I have the most fun when I have free rein in what arises in my mind. What I want you to experience and what experience I want to give you to take with you.
Now, many years later, working with rope is one of my absolute favorite activities, in which I encounter more and more challenges for myself. My imagination has been able to run wild and takes me time and again to even more possibilities that are also possible.
Rope has become something I can lose myself in, where time no longer matters, where a beginning can turn out to be an end.
Where my unexpected creativity sometimes turns out to be a form of art and takes me on a journey that is never the same, but always surprising and new.
Where I regularly have to fight with myself, because perfection clashes with spontaneity. And I can create something, but my rope decides what the final form will be.
Where nothing gives a higher degree of intimacy, closeness, and connectedness.
In any case, I hope to be able to make many more beautiful voyages of discovery with it and to be surprised many more times by what I have created. Where I have been able to use you as my white canvas.
Do you dare?
