At some point answering texts and calls, we hear the phrase “this might be weird, but…” The first time I heard someone say that, I braced myself for something extreme but after a while, I realised that the vast majority of requests are far more normal than clients realised. So, in an effort to destigmatise these things and put your mind at ease next time you reach out, here are some common “this might be weird, but…” requests!

“…do your ladies offer pegging?”

Absolutely! There are plenty of our ladies who offer pegging. The biggest hurdle when making a booking with pegging is giving us notice so that we can let the lady know to bring in her gear. Don’t stress if you are in a time crunch, though, we often have some toys available for sale at reception. 

“…what about golden showers?”

This request is way more common than most people realise! We will need some heads-up for this booking too of course, but it’s offered by plenty of playmates.

“…I don’t even want to have sex”

While we love getting steamy, we all need to slow down sometimes. Spending time alone with another person cuddling or even just talking is an under-rated way to recharge. Human contact is lovely, and any of our playmates would enjoy the chance to unwind with you.

“…I’m a virgin”

So were we at some point! Who better to explore intimacy with than a qualified sexpert! You don’t have to disclose this kind of info to anyone, but if you are nervous about getting it on, our playmates can slow things down and make sure you’re looked after.

“…I have this fantasy”

Chances are, we have heard it before and are more than happy to make it come true! If you are interested in fantasies, role-plays and BDSM bookings, it’s important to keep in mind that not every lady offers every service. Once it gets down to the nitty-gritty details, you will have to come in to have a chat with the lucky babe in person.

As long as you are respectful of us and our answers, we don’t mind what your request is! There’s no point keeping it a secret if we could make it come true!

Shibari, also known as Kinbaku, is a traditional Japanese art form of rope bondage that has evolved over centuries. While it is now found in pop-culture art and erotica, its history is intertwined with various cultural and artistic influences, making it a rich and complex practice.

Ancient Origins

Shibari traces back to ancient Japan, where its versatility made it popular for various purposes, including restraining prisoners and torture. It gradually evolved into a more artistic and erotic practice over time.

Samurai and Hojo-jutsu

In feudal Japan, Samurai warriors employed rope techniques as a part of their martial training, known as “Hojo-jutsu.” This involved restraining captives using intricate rope patterns. But plenty of elements of Hojo-jutsu remain prominent in modern Shibari.

Eros and the Artistic Influence

The transformation of Shibari from a utilitarian practice to an art form and a means of erotic expression is believed to have occurred during the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries). During this time, Japanese woodblock prints and literature began to depict erotic scenes featuring intricate rope bondage.

Post-War Influence

After World War II, photography and magazines were able to introduce Shibari to a broader audience. Some artists and photographers, like Nobuyoshi Araki and Itoh Seiu, played significant roles in popularizing Shibari as an art form.

Modern Shibari

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Shibari has gained international recognition as an art form and a practice within the BDSM community. Across the globe, people appreciate Shibari for its aesthetics, emphasis on trust, and the meditative qualities it can offer both the rigger (the one tying) and the model.

Safety and Education

As BDSM and its related sub-cultures have gained popularity worldwide, there has been a strong emphasis on safety and education. Workshops, classes, and online resources are available for those interested in learning the art of Shibari.

Today, Shibari encompasses a wide range of styles and techniques, from traditional Japanese patterns to more modern and creative approaches. It continues to be a form of artistic and erotic expression, emphasizing consent, trust, and communication between those involved in the practice. Whether you are well-versed in the history of Shibari, or just turned on at the thought of rope restraints, we welcome you to check out our roster to introduce you to the world of restraints and bondage.
