Graydancer's Ropecast

At the GRUE Pitt 3 there was a psychophysiology researcher with electroencephalography equipment who measured several subjects doing various kinky activities. Gray talks with the Neuromancer as well as his subjects, Imperious Lyran and the_dragon_girl about their experience doing an EEG of the "ichinawa" ("one-rope") technique, and what their experience and the data showed. Short version: rope energy is very real, and us tops? We've been doing it wrong.

Gray continues his interview with this kinbaku-focused group in LA. They describe why they felt the need to create the group, what they hope to offer the rope community, and the nuts and bolts of how their meetings work. All mixed in with lots of sexy Star Wars innuendo, hot masochism and not-so-chism, and proof that Charlie Frown needs to work on his counting skills.

"...a small group of people in Los Angeles California that have been working on the study of Japanese Shibari\Kinbaku for fun. We work from the translation of Japanese material of the subjects and try our best to learn what we can." That's how they describe themselves, but as you'll hear from the interview they are much more - they are an example of just how fun a group of rope geeks can be!

Enjoy the laughter and ropetalk as Gray spends an evening with the Devil's Mask Society.

Full disclosure: In the time since this interview, The DMS has become an official sponsor of the Ropecast. However, this is unrelated to the decision to interview the group. Gray would never be that mercenary.

Well, maybe. Make me an offer...

Graydancer continues the interview with professional rigger and bondage instructor Nikki Nefarious. They discuss her controversial "bondage certification program" in detail.

Gray trekked to Los Angeles and interviewed Nikki Nefarious, professional rigger and creator of a "Bondage Certification Program."
