Bondage is very mysterious to me. It’s intriguing, attractive and a little bit scary at the same time. Until not so long ago, I didn’t know it was even an old Japanese art. I discovered this clip from Bondage Erotique a few days ago and I fell in love with it. I think it belongs here because it is highly erotic, but it doesn’t show much of the body. It’s not like a sex scene, but it is deeply intimate.
Bondage Erotique, kinky and artistic
Bondage Erotique is made of two members, Kanso and Blue, whom you can see in the video. They both share a deep love for Shibari, or Japanese Rope Bondage. Both wandered through Asia, studying Buddhism. Blue was a burlesque dancer for a while, and Kanso used to direct adult films in LA. Their experiences helped them explore the topics of intimacy, trust, human form and sexuality. They now share their knowledge about bondage with others!
It is obvious in the video that these two share a real bond. I get anxious when a guy hugs me too hard… so I guess it would be a great exercise for me! Learning to give yourself over completely… Besides, the experience is deeply erotic. The touch of the rope, the submission to another person. The title is very well chosen: they are physical bonds of rope, and emotional and sexual bonds between two people. As they explain on their website, it goes beyond BDSM. Bondage aims at enhancing a relationship by exploring and experiencing trust, with a twist of kink! They also rightfully explain that bondage is not always the kind that we imagine in a dark dungeon or in porn.
The video was directed by Daniel Garcia, and the music, which is one of my favorite things from the clip, is Forget (Shlohmo Remix) by Lianne La Havas.
You should definitely check out Kanso and Blue’s website, as well as their tumblr, Bound to Bond, which is full of photo goodies…
