It became necessary

OMG, she’s turning purple! YR DOIN’ IT WRONG!

So I’ve posted this on Fetlife, but it seems relevant to put it here too.

If you’re someone who does rope bondage and posts photos, it’s almost a given that you’ve received comments like this: “Is no one going to comment that she’s turning purple? Loosen it up!” “Those arms are way too tight! You’re causing cell death!” “Are their legs supposed to be that color?” “That’s so scary, watch that purple leg!” These usually come from (what I assume are) well intentioned but uninformed people with little to no knowledge of rope bondage and suspension. I’d like to offer a response I’ve used before. *“Repeat after me: purple limbs do not necessarily indicate danger. Purple limbs do not mean rope is “too tight.” Purple limbs are a minor concern comparedy to some of the actual physical risks of rope bondage and suspension. Discoloration is not a good indicator of nerve damage. Purple limbs do not give you the right to yell at someone on the Internet because you think you know better than them.” Ties often need to be tight because that actually makes the tie safer, especially regarding suspensions. Any time you restrict circulation, you’re going to get some discoloration. It’s how blood flow works. Some people turn purple, red, or blue at the slightest pressure - some don’t. ITS ALMOST NEVER A CAUSE FOR ALARM. There are other, much more pressing risks associated with rope than some discoloration. If you know nothing about rope, please don’t leave these comments. They’re annoying, repetitive, and condescending. Most experienced bottoms and riggers are extremely risk aware and know what they’re doing. All you’re doing is making yourself look ignorant. Find a better way to channel your “concern”. Or better yet, ask questions and educate yourself! Shrimp out. (NOTE: since it’s been mentioned a few times, I will clarify: this is NOT directed at people who are genuinely trying to learn and understand. I will never tell people not to question things they’re unsure of or curious about, and in fact encourage it.

I strongly support research, self-education, and asking questions. “All knowledge is worth having.” This writing IS a response to those who have no experience or expertise in the matter, and instead of attempting to learn more about it, choose to be judgmental and condescending.)

Always relevant.

For the people in the back who keep telling me I’m going to lose a limb.

This is my favorite class about my favorite kind of play with one of my favorite people to tie with, @heathawk13

This was a ton of fun. I’d do this again and again if I could. 

We had an amazing time in Tucson. Spent the weekend at the @hotelcongress. 2nd time staying there. Thank you @lifeofpieper & @dron6 for hanging out with us and showing us around all weekend. Love you guys! 😘 #tucson #arizona #hotelcongress #hotels @historichotels #history #architecture (at Hotel Congress)

MY HOME TOWN!

Today my boyfriend accidentally broke the ear off of his dog statue, which he’s had for twelve years, and discovered another smaller dog inside… I have so many questions.

I know I lived in Tucson and everything but that’s I bit much.

Yes I added googly eyes to a hitachi.

I had to do it.
