i are bondage MASTERRRRR of the WORLD

[kumimonster]

help me with this list
please
oh you know you want to fd_midorioften, some friends and i end up discussing the qualifications that go into taking the title of "bondage master

Comments

hmmm ....

[thomasrymour]

don't know what pirate shirts have to do with bondage, but I love the style of them ....

Well...

[monkeyfetish]

I know an awful lot of really good rope people and none of them, not even the ones who present beside me at Shibaricon, consider themselves "bondage masters". I think this falls under the the category of "if you have to call yourself a bondage master, you aren't one".

Re: Bondage Master, is that better than a Kimono Boy?

[kumimonster]

hehe

midori almost got stuck with that title the other nite
and i made sooooo much fun of her!

of course, in regards to the article, i can see her pausing and controling the words that are said.
so polite. (yes if you read this you know you can be).

whereas i, if asked would simply state things a little more er, directly. maybe add a few choice words.

no, nevermind. i'd never. i'm too PC

:-D

Do I detect a rant? :-)

You should also add knowledge of all international and local Health and Safety regulations. You can't suspend in the UK without a working knowledge of the HSAW, PUWER and LOLER regulations, for example.

I also assume that when saying "bondage" you're talking about bits of string rather than ironmongery? ;-)

[kumimonster]

oh yes. no ironmongery here.
oh yes. ranty.

hmm. seriously about that suspend thing? are you refering to humans and the like or big crane and construction type of things?

Take a look at www.hse.gov.uk, but "Lifting equipment includes any equipment used at work for lifting or lowering loads, including attachments used for anchoring, fixing or supporting it" and "If you are an employer or self-employed person providing lifting equipment for use at work, or you have control of the use of lifting equipment, then the Regulations will apply to you." Assuming that a suspension session qualifies as "work" then I'd say that it applies, never mind the Working at Height regulations. Of course, if you had a fatal or near fatal accident I suspect that LOLER would be the least of your worries. But next time you do a suspension in public, ask yourself whether you know that hook is strong enough. Personally I wouldn't touch it unless there was an in-date test certificate ...

I'm happy being an enthusiastic amateur.
