I did a scene with Lil’ One the other evening while she wore a beautiful antique Kimono, which she had acquired in a tiny store over in Langley on Whidbey Island, Washington, while we were out on my Harley for a ride. While we were at that little shop, I also bought a Haori, which is a mid-length light coat that was traditionally worn by men over Kimonos to keep the actual Kimono from being exposed to the elements. Made of silk, it is delicately embossed with a variety of colors which show up in different lighting situations and it seemed only natural to use my Haori in the Japanese Rope Bondage Scene I had planned. Our dear friend, Dr. Glen from the Center, consented to photograph the entire Scene for us and we were thrilled with the shots.

I enjoy Japanese Rope Bondage, however I almost always prefer to combine it with impact or wax play. Of course, if I had used hot wax it would have made a very big mess to clean off of the ropes and I also did not want to damage Little One’s Kimono, so instead I brought out my Floggers and Whips.

In this particular Scene, I also used my cut down Kendo Sword to fit the Japanese Theme. The Sword acts like a cross between a cane and a paddle, makes a nice noise and hurts like Hell. I like the way it feels in my hand, the sounds it makes on her body when I hit her and since it seems natural and ancient, it places me mentally, in a preindustrial subconscious timeframe.

When a person is bound and I apply painful stimulus, I always have to tune in closely to how they are processing the pain. Most bottoms move at least a little to help them deal with the stimulus however, they are unable to move very much when they are tied up. I usually don’t lay it on as heavily in this situation however, readers can easily see by Lil’ One’s reaction that "something is going on for her".

In these types of situations, I strongly suggest that you encourage your bound bottom to breath deeply, not hold their breath and to attempt to turn their pain into an ‘erotic experience’.
