Tamandua is a traveling kinbaku educator based in Berlin. His kinbaku is strongly focused on sensual torment (seme) and the erotic beauty of ritual and imagery in classical kinbaku. Tamandua believes that kinbaku is a primarily about attraction to and fetish of body in distress and vulnerability. Where expressions can be raw and dramatic, and subtle at the same time when perfect. As a kinbaku practitioner you want to master these ambiguities both emotionally and aesthetically while maintaining a position of empathetic sadism. As an educator Tamandua states it is highly important to practice doing kinbaku in a way which is reflecting and validating of the experience of our partner, whatever side of the rope or power dynamic we are on. Therefor you need to learn not just how to do things but also in what manner we do them.
