Echoing Jenis on that perspective. | |

Jenis did in fact remind me of a few western/fusion riggers that demonstrate good connection including Chanta Rose & Midori. In fact, Midori was the first I ever heard talk about this in her book and that is over 10yrs old. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is impossible to have a good time with rope without getting in close and using all the nuances of the rope. Indeed, intense moments can be had without close contact and the most one dimensional tying techniques. I can appreciate that tying might be purely functional for some. If it works for you, I can't knock it. I simply feel that the experience can be enhanced for many by not treating it as a technical exercise.
My intention is not to take a 'my kink is better than yours' stance but to provoke people into thinking about how they do rope. If a few people have started to think about using rope as a tool of communication and an extension of their hands, rather than simply a restraint device; my work is done Japanese bondage tuition: www.shibariclasses.com | |

Assuming you are talking about The seductive art of Japanese Bondage. I got Midori to sign my copy last week, when I was talking to her. Told her I would re-read it, and over the last week I have. I agree that a lot of it is about the connection between the top, bottom and the rope.

Sometimes, I feel that being patronised with praise is no better than scolded with appreciation. It's not a matter of judging how someone else feels using one technique or another. It' is not a matter of judging whether a person is technically capable of embuing emotion or utilising the caress of subtlety with their medium, even in some ironic manner. It is not a matter of judgement at all. We may appreciate those who show us the beauty of a thing, who inspire us in their mastery or who surprise us with their willingness to run to extremes. As long as the Top doesn't kill or maim the bottom, it doesn't matter what else we see. We... collectively... have no right to judge. | |

There is nothing wrong with taking pride in what we do. To know that we do our best and that we are on the right track, is always nice.
