I have found there is a strong air of romanticism in some rope photography that I have seen. By romanticism, I do not mean the artistic period. I mean the feelings of romance and other worldliness of rope play, a step or two away from the reality of everyday life. Very often we see partially […]
One of the most challenging parts of running rope or kink based events is ensuring a degree of safety for the attendees and those working at our events.
