Cool needle play pics! I would have loved to see the needle corset thing on your back too!

*munble something about how fucking unfair it is that everybody but me is having fun with needles *

Why can't you have fun with needles too?

'Cause I don't know shit about needle play, don't have anyone around to teach me, and don't have much time right now to be very social in the scene and/or attend workshop.

That, and my two current playpartners have needle play on top of their hard limits list.

Sigh.

Hehe. South Ontario, Canada. Too far I think! But thanks for the offer.

I am finally declaring my Ropework photos thread stalker status.

Wonderful evolution you have here Mr Homburg :rose:

Why, thank you, rebecca :heart:

You're welcome.. We had great time. We'll have to do it again! You guys are awesome! I'm happy to have had the opportunity to meet you both :rose: Going to start practicing on my knots tomorrow!

I'm glad to hear it, Nicole. My hope was to get you to the point where you can start practising, and hopefully understand some of the online stuff a bit more clearly. I know that I have to just do a skill myself a certain number of times before I really "get it".

Various needle & piercing work, the lips could come in handy, but I love the snakes! Go figure!

Some cool pics, damn. One of the big differences there was the length of needles used. We used 1" sticks because they were what was available when she hit the farm supply store. The long needles allow for some different stuff. Either way, it's still really neat, and we had fun.

ETA: I did a little bit of ropework last night to show the concept for certain ties. Didn't think to get photos either, sorry. It's a bit more irritating too, as I used the new rope. Still haven't thought to do any ties with it and get pics. D'oh.
 
To those who are attending the Fetish Flea Market in Providence, Rhode Island....
Besides the erotic photos we will be selling with our reptile friends, we are also planning on having Homburg tie my little girl, and then have her photographed by the Professional Photographers we will have with us.
If you have interest in being bound as well, please contact Homburg for further details.
We are doing this on Saturday evening, it should lend itself to great images, and a delightful night.
I will be sure to post images when we have them.

They get a little lost in my fur. They show up well on "v" though =)

Yeah they hurt, what gauge? I can't do those fucking 18's at all, which all my bottom friends poke in themselves like it's no big deal.

Didya get high at all?

I got fucking looped. It doesn't take much at all. If you want to see me really dumb and giggly (I don't giggle) just poke a 22 in my upper arm.

Although my year of medical delights may have taken all the magic out of it, I'm not sure.

speak for yourself ;) i don't like to Top but i wanna make her beg :catroar:


brave pet

Just caught this. For what? I'll ask nicely, just once. Ha.
 
just dug this up

OMG, about 30 pounds and 2 years ago I shot these.

I tie myself almost exclusively, although I made M learn everything I did so he can tie me and help me tie other people and such.

I am my own rope bunny.

Enjoy, 'cause I don't think my tits will stay here forever. It's a pretty simple corset - the problem with really tying yourself is then you can't shoot yourself and uh, can we say control freak?

22ga, off the top of my head.

No high/loopiness whatsoever. While I've said I've a maso streak, pain does weird things to me. It fires off the fight in me pretty seriously and winds me up aggressively (back when I did MA and boxing, getting hit just made me grin and bring it harder). Half the experience there was keeping my system calm and even and preventing that urge to hop up and go do something physical. Hell, I was trailriding on my bike this summer and broke my arm in a fall (well, fractured it), and my response was to ride harder.

I had to assert the calm over my froggy ass before anything even remotely close occurred. It was keen, especially as I was more than a bit nervous. Frankly, I'm a Top. I'm not supposed to be yelpy or anything, right? Bullshit, I know, but it's still there, and I'm a wee bit twitchy around needles because of my striking fear over blood tests. Needles themselves are no big deal, but they certainly remind me of something that does make me want to puke/kill a motherfucker.

The fun part was the agreed-upon three needles hit and she asked if I wanted more. Said "No, I'm fine", largely because I could feel that urge to do something building. Didn't want to have to rush off and hit the heavy bag or something.

Interestly, "v" didn't get a high either. No subspace, though she's not been heading for subspace much lately. She's been beautifully present almost all the time. Made me proud how well she handled it. Needles scare her to death, and she took them like a champ.

Love my gal =)

Thanks for posting! That's a good shot, and, well, I like what I'm seeing :eek:

But, yeah, I've been there myself. Well, not specifically in a rope corset, but with self-tying and trying to shoot it. I've thought about trying a few more self-ties, just to see if I can do it. Talking with rida-chan had me contamplating a karada, or some other torso tie. Maybe I will, and, hell, if I do, I'll post pics too.
 
These are some olllld ones of a friend I tied. She said use away as long as her face is thus mysterious. I love these:

Oh, ok, that makes a lot of sense actually. My bull gets kind of nervous and squirrely like that in addition to high, he's very high testosterone and hairy and sporty and I can see it going that way if you have conditioned and worked with a lot of "fight" response. I don't have that contextual hookup, needle time is nice floaty girly time usually - for some reason all the needleplay I've done has been by and among women - as close to the lesbian new age blood sisterhood woo woo thing as I get I guess.
 
I'm horrified and perturbed at this tie, I've gotten a lot better. It's just sort of messy and saggy. H, the victim, begged for the shot and insisted this rather uncomfortable and uncomfortable-looking partial was fine for the photo. While I'm not elated about the tie, the photo was commercial gold for me, I still love it for other reasons, and hey, the tie worked.

My husband is a good shutterbug, good enough to make me feel competitive with him.

Heh, I'm getting a little jumpy just thinking about it. I can tell as I'm sitting here with my heels bouncing up and down. It's good fun to have these sorts of reactions, even if they can be dangerous.

Do you have to take squirrelly response into account with him? From what I gather from your previous posts, he sort of shuts down happily when bottoming, but is it a threshold thing? The more I hurt, the more I push. I haven't gotten to that shutdown point yet.

The most intense pain I can think of was the vasectomy sans aneasthesia, and it was literally every ounce of self-control I had not to kill the doc. I think I put my thumbs through the vinyl on the on the examination table I was on, and the siderails were certainly creaking from the amount of torque I was putting on them.

To an extent, yeah, there was some high there. It was just the normal sort of froggy endorphin response I get when I get involved in aggressive stuff. It's a shallow high, even if I don't recognise it as such.

While he is versatile, that versatility lands on the side of bottoming naturally. Our play of late is an experimental dalliance in the face of both our natures, life is short. So there is a shutdown and it's a little easier - that said, I have to watch it with him, really carefully, I have to read him. He's not one to ask for an out when he's beginning to need one, his ability to talk is one of the first things to go, so I really have to rely on my intimate knowledge there so I don't one day take a blow to the head or something. Taming a potentially dangerous animal is a risk I'm willing to take. Rope helps a LOT actually, especially since I've gotten a few ties under my belt that he literally could not get out of to do anything to me in an involuntary way.

Well, the photo really is good. I can understand why it would be commercially effective. And I really, seriously need to work on my photography skills...

Thank you for posting these here. Yeah, I started the thread for my own photos, but I really do hope other people will post theirs as well. (Especially when I might be able to pirate ties for my own use :D ) Hell, it's why I titled it "Ropework photos" as opposed to "Homburg's Ropework photos" or somesuch.

That tie does look uncomfortable, but functional. I need to get a ring for suspension. More rope too. I spent some coin on biners last week. Sad but true, they're christmas presents for "v", as she has been quietly and respectfully "expressing interest" in suspension. It sound slike a doof present, but I'm pretty damned certain she'll like them. She's such a rope bunny.

I'd mentioned how she doesn't go into subspace much these days, right? Well, rope still sends her off to her happy place with no issues.

*nod* That was my next question. It would seem that restraint would go hand in hand with knowledge insofar as keeping the top safe with such a bottom.

Heh, I'm sitting here talking about this and realising that Nicole is going to read all of this. :eek: Don't worry, Nicole! You were in no danger :D

'Biners are in no way a lame gift, I think that's awesome. Those things are pricey, they add up. Rope does have that effect on me, bondage in general. If there's nowhere to go, I'll just shut off, and man, that's a precious experience in short supply!

Ain't that the truth!! Frikken biners cost me a bundle, and I need more. I wanted the swing-gate locking style, but just couldn't wrap my brain around the cost. That and the screw-types that the outfitter had in stock were rated for more kN. So they're a wee bit slower. *shrug*

Rope does have that effect on me, bondage in general. If there's nowhere to go, I'll just shut off, and man, that's a precious experience in short supply!

Hmmm. Y'know, the only times in my life when I've shut off were total shut downs, either due to being knocked out in sparring (happened once from a choke), or the functional auto-pilot black-outs I get in car accidents and other such trauma. Brain shuts down and the body takes over. That's it. Never shut down anywhere else.
