Coming back and coming down from #MRM2025. What an amazing weekend. My head is still spinning like @lalocked.bsky.social was on Friday night.

Started #MRM2025 strong with an intense suspension demo: LOCKS > JOCKS

I removed his jock strap to show off his golden boy/cage status — one leg at a time while he was suspended from only one leg, and then the other. So much fun.

Can validate this photo. I have the keys to prove it.

We’re flying off to #MRM2025! @lalocked.bsky.social and I are ready to tie Seattle!

#gay #shibari #ropebondage

It’s not a lot but it’s dead sexy. This hot guy is facing away, up in the air, his arms are tied behind his back and there’s a lot of rope there on his back. It’s structural. I swear. His ankles are connected to the hard point from which he hangs. But you can’t miss his delicious ass, slightly gleaming, a beautiful pair of lightly tanned nuggets that I just want to bury my face in.

As a gift to my rope partner, I commissioned @sillykb0y.bsky.social to illustrate a couple of our favorite ties. Doesn’t @lalocked.bsky.social look great animated?!?

Both @lalocked.bsky.social and are excited to be headed to @menropingmen.bsky.social this weekend! I haven’t been posting much lately, but we’ve been tying. Like this gem at a pool party.

I’m on the right. Red tank top and cute white shorts, leaning against a concrete table.

But Jason deserves all the attention. He’s wearing faded pink swim briefs and a lot of rope. Notably, some around his chest is holding his arms behind his back. And then there’s some rope around his waist that doesn’t serve a purpose anymore. But of most importance is the rope around his leg that is connected to the patio awning. It’s the rope that’s holding him aloft so that his head is hanging down a few feet off the ground. It looks like it would hurt but clearly it doesn’t because Jason is smiling from ear to ear… although because he’s upside down it looks like a very robust frown. It’s all a matter of perspective. There’s a joke in here somewhere about turning that frown upside down.

HimBound has a guest teacher! It’s rather exciting.

The illustrious, ingenious and devilishly handsome @knotsnacks.com joins us Friday, September 19th to teach a one-of-a-kind Rope 101

Tickets at momence.com/s/118637391

At @devilmaskstudio.bsky.social
Flyer by @cybersexpuppy.bsky.social

Oh this is a sexy beast right here. His head is shaved, his beard is bushy, his glasses are glassy. One arm is tucked all cozy like in a grey suit jacket sleeve while the other shoulder is bare. A karada harness is tied across his chest, which means there’s a couple of cute little diamonds on his sternum and lower chest, with rope radiating out from there. His name, we learn, by way of the tagline, is KNOTSNACKS and he is, as the flyer announces, the GUEST TEACHER.

That’s right HimBound has a GUEST TEACHER for the event this Friday, September 19th at Devil Mask Studio!

It’s pretty exciting to have a guest teacher. It’s also pretty exciting that it’s KnotSnacks, cause he’s kind of a big deal.

Happiness is a warm puppy.

@cybersexpuppy.bsky.social

A puppy who is hot / warm stands there. Im behind him, with an arm around his chest, my chin in his neck, my heart radiating joy to be on stage tying him in rope.

In this photo tho, we flip the puppy on his head. He’s hanging upside down by one leg. Rather than holding him, the rope does, while I savor this moment where I can look deeply into his eyes. It’s a moment. It’s love. It’s connection. It’s dog and human. It’s everything.

This was such an amazing moment!! From the rigger side, that moment when I feel that chest rope go slack in my hands is when I know that @cybersexpuppy.bsky.social is held up by only one rope…. 💦💦. That toss of the rope at the end is my version of mic drop & walk off.

“Their Ideal Scene”. I love that as a proper noun. It enunciates that it’s often this rigid concept in the person’s mind that doesn’t have room for collaborating on the rope scene and discovering something much more fun & interesting than if everyone stuck to TIS.

One of my fave folsom photos. I drew it a couple of years ago but it looked awful so I just did a quick redraw because it makes me smile!

An illustration of a man suspended by rope from a bike parking pole. Another man is leaning over and kissing the bound man. The label reads Bike Rack, public bondage point.
