Huh.

Because I was just calculating value for money, I just worked out a quick thing in my head, which is amusing me greatly. Average cost of going to the movies is $12 plus – let’s say 15 dollars. So that’s $15 on average, doing a very normal date that lasts maybe 2 hours on average.

Let’s say I do that once a month: = $180 for 24 hours (over a year) of date/recreation time

Let’s say I do that for 3 years = $540.00 for 72 hours (over three years) of date/recreation time.

Okay, now assuming I do rope bondage scenes with my partner twice a month on average, and we end up spending oh, 2 hours a month playing with rope (let’s face it, we all know it’s going to more than that).

Based on how much I paid for my Twisted Monk Bondage Rope, in far less than 3 years time, I’ve spent less per hour enjoying insanely hot, sexy rope bondage dates, than I would have spent going to the movies for a “normal date”.

Also, my dates and my lovers are far more impressed with me, and we’ve interacted a lot more than we would if we’d spent that time at the movies.

Damn, I pick my hobbies well! 

Also, now I feel bad for vanilla people. Those poor suckers. They don’t even know! Rope bondage dates have movie dates completely beat. And you don’t even have to go out.

To my utter surprise, one of my posts was recently featured on a podcast!

You remember that fun post about Consensual Non-Consent: How To Play Rape Your Partner? Well, a couple of podcasters found it while researching the topic for their podcast; and had a LOT of fun talking it up… these two definitely enjoy their work, and I can relate to that; it’s always fun sharing information on your favorite past times.

You might want to check them out, they’re highly entertaining 😀

Cougar And The Milf

I recently emailed all the people who were on my mailing list about what I can do to help you guys further; I think it’s great to have that interaction and build a bit more communication with you all.

I had a bunch of really great responses, and that has been enormously helpful. Because I got that feedback, I can now deliver more content in line with your interests and what you want to learn next; and sometimes, if it’s stuff I don’t already know, then it gives me a bit more direction for learning; I can learn it for you guys, make it simpler, and then share it with you all.

It’s a great win-win; I end up learning more rope stuff and testing it out, and that makes learning easier for you guys as well! I can even share my mistakes, so you can learn what NOT to do; several people have indicated that they found that helpful.

It’s sometimes a little bit embarrassing for me, but hey; if it helps you guys, I’ll continue doing it.

Other Things I’m Working On:

I’m currently working on setting up a shopping cart and sales page etc for Rope Bondage The Smart Way here on Rope Connections. I’ve had a bunch of messages indicating that Amazon is a pain in the ass for people to leave reviews on, and I’ve also had requests for different formats than just the Amazon one.

So basically I’m going to try and set up a system that allows people to purchase directly off the site, and hopefully receive multiple different formats in one easy download. There’s quite a bit of work involved, so I appreciate your patience, guys – I’m working on this every morning before I go to my day job, and I’m optimistic that it will be up and running in a couple of weeks.

Additional Material For the Single Column Tie

One of the responses I got back from emailing all you guys was a request from a guy named Tim for a video showing how to do the Burlington Bowline, going both over a limb and under a limb.

Here you go Tim! I’m also placing this on my “First Tie You Should Learn” post, in addition to the picture tutorial. I hope it helps!

Hi guys, sorry it’s been awhile. I’ve been working on a couple of new projects and I’m probably going to post about them soon.

In the mean time, I’ve just discovered that the site has NOT been notifying me of a lot of messages and feedback you’ve been leaving on the site… which means when I logged back in today, I got a hell of surprise! There’s a tremendous amount of useful advice and positive feedback. You guys are awesome and I have to say, I particularly appreciate the thank you notes.  It’s a huge boost to me to know that the information I’ve been putting up is helping you all, and I’m really enjoying the stories and the photos of successful good times.

It’s really amazing to see so many people trying new things and exploring new relationships, and even more amazing that you’re crediting me with thanks. Honestly, you’re all really brave for getting out there and trying new things and exploring; I’m really proud of you all! 

Hey, look. For all you guys that marked your feedback as confidential, I wanted to say I appreciate that. Sometimes I like to share success stories and things that have gone well for everyone, but I also don’t want to put up stuff that you’d prefer kept private. So good thinking, and thanks for the clear communication. It makes all of this easier. If anyone is particularly keen for me to share a story or a picture of their successful experience, again, let me know.

I will be posting again soon; one of the commenters supplied a really useful idea, so I’ll add my take to that and then invite others to comment, because we probably all have some useful experience and advice on the topic, so why not?

Happy tying, everyone. I’ll be in touch soon.

I got an email from someone this weekend that was just really awesome, and I really enjoyed getting it.

Basically, this lovely woman and her partner had been thinking about getting into rope bondage, and when they actually went to get information on the rope etc, they found this website and found it really helpful. And so she sent the email and let me know that, and made me grin like you wouldn’t believe.

I’m really glad you guys are finding all this useful! It’s always really encouraging to get feedback like that. I hope you two had a fantastic night, and I’ll keep posting additional things so that more people can benefit from the information.

Thanks again, you rock!
