I know this is fairly old, but I couldn't resist at least commenting a bit on a favorite topic of mine I am lucky in the fact that my Dom is very skilled in this area, and while both of us do find it sexual in certain contexts it is so much more than that as well. We have tried several fairly intricate bindings-- it brings to mind a session involving a karada shibari and my hands tied behind my head As soon as we get a long enough length of rope, he'd like to do a chokushin fudo ippon shibari on me-- also known as "roasting the pig" .

*giggles*

He is a photographer and usually photographs most of our sessions, but I'd have to ask his permission to post any of them, he can be very shy when it comes to his artwork! For me, being bound is almost like a form of forced meditation if that makes sense. Sometimes, especially if he is still working on a new knot or bind, it can take a long time. When that happens, I've noticed that I start to sort of drift off into a very peaceful state of mind. I am very restless by nature, and it has gotten to the point where if I am really stressed out, I will ask him to tie me up just to get my brain to slow down for once.

He is generous enough to grant me this priviledge-- and also to get me my very own pretty purple rope

If you are looking for some good quality rope, here is where we ordered it from:

Lots of other fun stuff there as well.
