Japanese rope bondage at Bound: April 2014

Nina Russ is the Isambard Kingdom Brunel of Japanese rope bondage. Tonight we get a demonstration of how hoists, pulleys and suspension bridges work as she ties Maya - no flesh mountain, but bigger than Nina, as most people are. And I have seen Nina tie Antoine Savalski, who must displace four times as much bathwater as she does.

Subjects from tonight's Bound at the Flying Dutchman in Camberwell: Nina Russ and MaYa Homerton, Mr Beat and Clarisa, Stefano Laforgia and Dana, Bruce Esinem and Nina Russ, members of the audience.
