I love rope, but to be fair, a lot of clients don't want to take the time, and I respect that. I think most people would be more into rope and enemas if it did not eat such a large chunk of session time. I have some loyalists to those practices and that is good, however I have invested in a lot of rapid bondage devices to get the helplessness set up and on to the other activities. I am not complaining, I still find it all very interesting, but I can understand how a domme would not invest so much time in medical or rope training.

Conversely shibari and kinbaku has enjoyed a huge popularity here in Paris in the past few years--mostly in the lifestyle and male dom community , but it's something. Now that my French is better I am going to sign up for some refresher classes. Who knows. I already have a suspension rig in my dungeon if it comes back in fashion.
