Generation SEX

30 October 2008

Before we got asked for BNN's Spuiten en Slikken we had antoher interesting experience with the media, English TV in this case. We got taped for the British TV program Generation SEX. Appearently the previous season of this program got aired in all the big European countries and we got choosen to kick of this seasons Generation SEX :).

The story; a young English couple visits Amsterdam for a new kind of activity holiday. Instead of gaping at the tulips and going to the van Gogh-museum they get educated in the pleasures of BDSM and bondage in particular.

We expect the material any day now so we can put it on the site and show it to you. On your right you can see a snapshot of Chantal with the couple we educated, she does look a but... "used" :)

Sniper folds

11 October 2008

Sniper, easily Japanese  most famous S&M magazine, is folding after the November 2008 number. Here's a short tidbit of history about Sniper and S&M magazines in general by Nuit De Tokyo (I could not have said this any better):

S&M Sniper magazine was started in 1979 and was the sole survivor in its style of several magazines including, among others, SM spirits, SM spiral, SM select, SM fan, SM collector, SM frontier, SM king, Punch SM (the so called pre-internet golden wave). They represented the second wave (i.e. with color photos) of magazines following the first wave (started in the 1950s) which folded around 1978 (Kitan Club, Fuzoku Kitan, Uramado).

It is hard to say why SM sniper survived longer although it did has special content in the form of photos by star photographer Araki (whom I believe is a part owner of the magazine but I could be wrong) and also serialized novels by Yuki Kaoru whom in his prime is clearly in my view among the top 3 best ever Japanese SM writers.

Nureki Sensei was the main publisher of the first wave and eventually discovered Dan Oniroku who as a writer, if not a rope expert, straddled the 2 waves, first publishing in Kitan club then in SM fan (which makes the SM fan old issues rather thought after).

Are surviving the internet (rather in Japan the mobile phone version of it) publications which are  very specialized, such as Mania Club which offers SM with some rope but always with the inclusion of a scatological element (Dan Oniroku was still publishing in it last year). Mania Club has a number of sister publications looking at the anal side of things in its numerous variants (diapers, shitting in her pants etc...) are also surviving magazines  which concentrate on the serialized novel aspect:  SM Mania, SM Novels but their readership is probably limited.

There are also a number of SM publications ( a sort of third wave) which are essentially DVD digests of the recent SM videos (probably not really of interest for people on the rope side) which explains why SM Sniper felt compelled to include a DVD (as did SM mania) in some recent issues as these magazines were taking away some of the "looking for an easy wank" salary man clients.

I tie up pretty girls because...

30 August 2008


1. It's pretty much the only thing I'm good at.

2. They keep asking me to.

3. Because men smell funny and have penises. Ick.

4. Isn't it obvious? I got a problem.

5. The little minxes just won't hold still during torture.

6. Everybody's doing it.

7. Couldn't tie my own shoes until I hit puberty, tied my first real knot around the same time I got my first real boner, and well... accidents happen.

8. It's the only way they'll stick around long enough to hear my life story.

9. Because of the old adage, "Do what you love and the money will follow." Truth be told, I expected to be a billionaire by now.

10. Because, for whatever reason, God has seen fit to surround me with an abundance of rope and nude women, and nothing happens in God's world by accident--- except maybe #7.

Honestly, this list is not mine, but found it surfing (p*rn) on the web and found it very fitting for my situation :)   Can you tell we are on a summer break? :)

Slavery...

16 August 2008

During one of my senseless surfing periods ('k, 'k... watching p*rn :) I stumbled upon the following:

Slavery is not about suffering . . . .Slavery is about service.
Its not about humiliation . . . Its about humility.
Its not about pain . . . Its about being present.
Its not about being used . . . Its about being of use.
Its not about control . . . Its about letting go.
Its not about your desires . . . Its about giving to others.
Its not about abuse . . . Its about acceptance.
Its not about proving anything . . . Its about being real.
Its not about contempt . . . Its about respect.
Its not about how you look . . . Its about how you care.
Its not about denying yourself . . .Its about being open.
Its not about punishment . . . Its about discipline.
Its not about escape . . . Its about being committed.
Its not about submission . . .Its about obedience.
Its not about fear . . . Its about trust.
Its not about sex . . . Its about love.
Its not about pleasure . . . Its about happiness.

I thought this is a nice way to put in perspective that "thing" we do and love

More RopeMarks on Dutch national tv.

28 April 2006
Is it possible that our Dutch national TV network is picking up on our oh so beloved shibari? We have been approached by the people of the Dutch TV program "Bizar & Bijzonder" (Bizar and Extraordinary) if we are interested in participating. We had some e-mail exchange, watched a few episodes and had a real/live meeting about the subject. We decided to participate. Today we are being filmed and it should air in about 2 weeks. When we know more we'll post it here.
