Ranboo, literally translated means stormy, overwhelming, wild. About 10 years ago, Barkas developed Ranboo as a way of rejecting a static and often seemingly boring practice of rope bondage. A wild dance while tying with each other is the result. Ranboo is characterized by a large amplitude of variation of distance, speed, and intensity, paired...

The landscape of different sexual identities is vast and more and more white spots on the maps are discovered, created, and surveyed.

We tie with everything but hands. This is mostly for the fun of it but also contains a very valuable lesson: Understanding how certain...
Shame, for many, is a constant shadow, a companion that seems to hold the power for great pain as well as for great pleasure. Shame is also used in a vast discourse of understanding cultural differences and even to describe entire societies. And shame is often treated like yet another mere tool for kink...
The pursuit of ‘connective’ or ‘communicative’ rope is central to the experiences many of us seek in rope bondage.

Connection is not created by a set of actions, by a particular pose, by close proximity,...
