Semenawa - the toughest rope bondage around

Leathermen are no strangers to pain play: Needles, electro and floggers, oh my! While bondage is often seen as a compliment, rather than a focus in these scenes, what if we told you that there is a rich Japanese tradition of using rope as a tool of pain and sensation play?

Semenawa, literally torture rope, is a form of bondage in where inconvenient knot placement, suspension, tension manipulation, predicaments, and psychological play (to name a few) converge to create intense sensations for the bottom, steadily and progressively taking them on a journey. Much like a flogging, it can be sexual or not, and the beauty lies in the creativity of the rigger (top) and sub/bottom.
