Rock and Rope with Zamil

My podcasts all have a mission and that is offering a glimpse into people involved in an alternative lifestyle.  We all have something to learn from each other and at the end of the day, we are not so different from mainstream people after all.

Today, the topic is Japanese rope bondage with European rope star, Zamil, who studied Shibari in Japan with Osada Steve.

Zamil was a popular presenter at Shibaricon, one of the biggest international conventions in the world devoted to lovers of the beautiful style of Japanese rope bondage, Shibari.

Lucky me, I managed to attend all of his classes.  As an instructor, he was exacting, precise, and very patient.   I think Zamil really loves Shibari.  It’s a sensuous and erotic foreplay using rope as the conduit.  As for his style, I'd say speed, fluidity, and 'connection' are three words that come to mind.   Why speed and what is ‘connection?’  He’ll say so in the interview.

I asked Zamil if a book was written about him, what would the title be?  After a few moments of thought, he said, “The title would be my life's vision: Balance, Freedom, and Ecstasy, surrounded by a circle to indicate that all three need to come together and unify. This is what I find in rope.”

Enjoy.

Spend some quality time listening to the life and times of a way cool groovy chic who happens to be a professional dominatrix, Domina Dea.

Tell  me THIS doesn't grab your attention in her own words:

PARADOXES AND IRONIES:

I have a great opinion of myself when I’m not filled with self-loathing. I love men who are wolves, but can’t stand pigs. I adore muscular men, but don’t ask me to go to the gym.

WORDS:

I love the word “FUCK.” I love its compactness and all its uses. I love fucking, and I love to be fucked-but it’s hard to find the right fucker to do it with. I also adore the Greek word “Logos” & “fag” and those that identify with it.

TOUGH THINGS TO FIND:

1. Erudite men who aren’t windbags
2. Men who are strong and quiet
3. Beautiful women who aren’t bitches
4. Slaves that aren’t clingy
5. People worthy of trust
6. New writers who genuinely move me
7. Men who will leave after making me come
8. A Sense of Adventure
9. Days when I measure up to my own potential

THINGS I’D FUCK FOR:

1. A trip to Germany and tickets to watch all four of Wagner’s Ring Operas
2. A return to my starry eyed youth
3. Love

After you've read all this I bet you are wondering where the "groovy" part is.  You'll have to listen . . . NOW!

This is the longest and final installment of Traci's story.

Traci explains the logic behind keeping her genitals.  Maybe it's out loud thinking? To further illustrate her uniqueness, she describes herself as a classical sadomasochist and a switch in the bdsm community using inspiration and examples.

Traci continues her story.  The sharing includes how she "knew," the benefits of psychotherapy, her initial steps toward physical transition, and so on.  Unfortunately, we got cut off again but at a point where you'll WANT to hear the next part.  I give her a lot of credit for going public and I hope all of her friends, new and old, will listen to this and further understand the courage she owns.

This live interview with slave Judy took place last March at the end of a bondage workshop.  Not only was she the demo model for David Lawrence, one of the presenters, but she was also his slave.

I love Judy.  She is an 'every woman.'  In her 40s, very nice, Juicy Judy is a pleaser. Her honey colored hair is long and wavy.  Her blue eyes are hauntingly beautiful and she has an aura of vulnerability.

Though the sounds in the background were distracting, we secluded ourselves in one of the practice rooms.   What you'll hear is an intimate conversation between two women.  The interview ended abruptly because we ventured into content that was of a personal nature.

However, I'm sure you'll agree that slave Judy had a lot to offer.
