Whether you dream of humans flying and suffering in hemp rope, or if you read detective stories just to get to the point where the damsel in distress gets bound and gagged by the villains, we invite you to join the first Bondage Special Interest Group (SIG) social and demonstration of the year.

Anybody with an interest in bondage, regardless of style or materials preferred, are all equally welcome here. Mel_Ann will be bringing her collection of leather and steel bondage gear from around the world for all to have a look at and feel.

You Get A Boundary! And YOU Get A Boundary! Boundaries in kink, from the personal to the community. What is a boundary? How is it different from a rule or a demand?

She identifies as a hedonistic dominant cuckoldress-pimptress who is polyamorous and monoromantic.
