DBRT 016: Pelota de goma
A continuación, algunas divagaciones de un Baby Rope Top muy cansado.
A veces solo quiero dejar de sentir
Cuando mi mente ansiosa se niega a calmarse, el trabajo intenso con la cuerda me da algo que el resto de la vida no puede darme: presencia total y concentrada.
Se me da muy bien alejar a la gente
Pido conexión y me quedo paralizado cuando llega. Notas sobre la evasión, el perfeccionismo y el intento de aparecer de todos modos, en la práctica de la cuerda y en todas partes.
Neck Rope
Rope is already a risky activity. Putting rope around the neck even more so. Yet, some people *do* do it. The beginner's rule about neck rope is "Don't", but as people advance, if they want to explore neck rope, a more nuanced set of rules is needed...
La primera fiesta de cuerdas del bebé
Mi primera fiesta de cuerda como baby rope top - afirmaciones del Maestro antes de salir, un cuidadoso gote shibari con el anfitrión, y una habitación llena de filosofar.
Invitaciones a fiestas e incertidumbre
Me han invitado a una fiesta de la soga y estoy ansioso. Notas sobre el exceso de reflexión social, el síndrome del impostor y la pregunta "¿soy lo suficientemente cuerda?" antes de que se abra la puerta.
Ajuste personalizado
Un arnés pectoral pentagrama con Hekate: tres accesorios, una cuidadosa retroalimentación y el territorio desconocido de la intimidad física sin un contexto sexual.
La calidad y el papel de la perfección
¿Alguna vez sientes que nada de lo que haces vale la pena? ¿Que cada intento por ser lo que quieres se desmorona? A mí me pasa, a veces. Como ahora mismo.

Ha llegado la primavera, ¡démosle sabor!
El primer post de Spicy Date Nights: ideas económicas para una cita nocturna, argumentos a favor de programar la intimidad, verduras forrajeras para Saag Paneer y una cuerda para relajarse sin presiones.
Atando con Hekate por primera vez
Mi primera vez atando a otra persona - un Shinju, columnas dobles, una escalera de piernas, y el Maestro entrenándome para ocupar más espacio físico como mujer joven.
Cómo el hecho de acercarnos más puede separarnos
Por qué el kink -y la conexión- se desvanecen en las relaciones de pareja duraderas, y qué me ha enseñado la práctica intencional de la cuerda para mantener la curiosidad por las personas que ya conozco.
¡Sorpresa, una fecha límite!
Una invitación sorpresa para hacer bondage con cuerdas en el Rubber Ball USA y un objetivo SMART de 92 días para pasar de ser un bebé a estar preparado para el público.
1-2-3 Column Ties
Is it a Double Column Tie just because it contains two wrists? Is there such thing as a Triple Column Tie?
Transformación espacial
Preparar mi espacio de cuerda para el primer invitado: una aspiradora, algunas plantas, luces cálidas y un rodeo sobre cómo los smartphones me convierten en peor anfitrión de lo que quiero ser.
El problema con los sumisos a la cuerda…
Sobre el caos que supone para mí encontrar a un tope de cuerda fuera de una relación, la construcción de una identidad de cuerda que sea la mía y las cualidades del tope de cuerda que más admiro.
El arte de hacerse el nudo a uno mismo
Sobre el incómodo arte de atarse los cordones uno mismo: cómo crear ambiente, cómo elegir un tutorial y la diferencia entre practicar solo o con otra persona.
Acondicionamiento y preparación
Preparar mi primer kit de cuerdas: aceite de jojoba para acondicionarlas, nudos que se sujetan y la lección de que las cuerdas perfectas no me convertirán en un mejor aparejador.
Elegir *mis* cuerdas
Las cuerdas de cáñamo que corté hace un año estuvieron en mi armario durante un año duro. Ahora vuelvo a recogerlas y veo cómo suena de cerca la voz del "impostor".
¿Por qué quiero hacer esto?
La primera entrada. Por qué empiezo ahora este viaje a la cuerda floja: hacer arte, contribuir más al trabajo de mi pareja y reclamar agencia en un mundo que se desmorona.
