It’s been a tumultuous few months.
I’ve moved house, which was a lot of work and trips.
I’ve started a new job, and am in that wonderful phase of “oooh, this is new!” and “Oh God, EVERYTHING is new and there’s a fuck ton of learning to do”.
And I’ve begun teaching rope in classes again.
That’s been really exciting. I love supporting people to come into a room and leave two hours later being able to do two-three new things that they were not able to do when they first came in. It’s fucking satisfying. Having someone go from not knowing anything but a shoe lace knot, to being able to do three different ties is freaking great.
Oh, and I’m SMASHING it in the gym. My bench and squat have both improved, and I’ve taken to using skipping as my primary form of cardio.
Does skipping translate well to not running out of breath during sex?
You better fucking believe it. Currently I’m only up to 3 mins of skipping, wait until I can do TEN. My poor partner. She’s going to get destroyed.
So there’s been a lot going on. I had COVID earlier in the year, and had a long recovery from that, which is why writing and posting really fell off, and then with all the life changes… yeah, things have been busy! Like, REALLY busy.
One nifty and fun thing has been I’ve discovered my partner enjoys having her feet tied.
Feet are a very polarizing subject in bondage and BDSM.
Some people will swear, scream, and threaten to kill you if you go anywhere near their feet.
Other people will… have a very different reaction.
And then there’s those in between, who absolutely hate the idea of rope going between their toes, but otherwise are pretty “meh” about the whole experience.
Since I haven’t done a lot of foot tying, it’s been an interesting new line of bondage experience to grab, so I’ve been having a bit of fun with it.
Things I’ve learned so far about the wonderful art of tying feet; starting off by dropping a larks head over the toes and binding them together can be quite fun. Adds a nice bondage component right at the start.
Not everybody will enjoy this, but as a rope top, I really do.
Thin rope! 5 or 5.5 millimeters is really nice for this kind of thing.
Tying over nylons, even a cute equivalent of a double column tie, feels really quite sexy as well. You probably want to add the ankles in to make sure the rope doesn’t slip entirely off, though. Nylon is a slippery substance to tie over.
And last but not least, try to make sure the ankle bones don’t end up grinding together. It detracts from the sexiness.
Foot bondage is SUPER fun. If you have the right person. Don’t do this without negotiating first, or you might get kicked in the face.
And hey, if getting kicked in the face by an angry person is your thing, that’s totally cool, boo. You do you. Just… do it consensually.
