Shibari-style rope bondage and suspension can take hours to set up and usually requires additional safety crew for spotting and rigging. When you see a single strand of rope around a discolored wrist or ankle, you're looking at a spurious and totally unsafe scene. It's not uncommon for our sessions to be two hours of set-up for twenty minutes of fun, and from the whole day's efforts we may only get a few photos worth keeping. While there's plenty of intimacy, drama, and good old dirty fun, there's little room for spontaneous behavior.
