Please join us for episode 48 of Open Deeply with the legendary kink expert, Midori, as we explore pleasure within BDSM. We start off the interview discussing her Women's Dominance Weekend Intensive called Forte Femme in which her teachings go to the core of BDSM and even takes a step beyond kink to include profound truths about human sexuality and power that impact our daily lives. Then Midori goes on to stress the importance of finding out the tells our partner has within a BDSM scene that reveal whether or not they are happy. Our tells in the sub role are often easy to determine, but what about the Domme role? That's way harder to define! Midori also goes over some of her pet peeves within BDSM and what ideas within BDSM that she might feel are bullshit or toxic. Finally, Midori tells us a out her performance art that is a delicious combination of her Japanese roots, BDSM, social commentary, and generally mind fuckery. This is an incredibly fun and thought-provoking episode, so we hope you join us as we once again, dare to Open Deeply. Midori's Bio: Trailblazing educator, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori teaches, coaches, and consults on alternative sexuality, BDSM, Shibari cultural competency, and joyful empowerment through thoughtful kink.

Hannah (Twitter: @Organic_Mooseli ) shares how she went from BDSM to bare soul in the bedroom with hosts Kerstin Porter and Greenberry Lucas. Although she learned from a young age that BDSM was the way she wanted to rock the bedroom, she met someone who was not comfortable playing that way. She had to decide if BDSM or this new man would be the true LOML ( Love Of My Life). Years later the couple is going stong and she talks to ABF about the journey. Diane called in and shared she is ready to give up the BDSM lifestyle and wanted to know if Hannah could help her navigate the turn with her current partner who she has had a BDSM relationship with. Hannah gave fun tips and trick that you can use if you are or aren't interested in trying BDSM yourself. And as a quick footnote: Upon review of the club rules- the 19 year-old was okay to be at the kink club because **a good BDSM club doesn't actually serve alcohol!! ** Obvious safety provision! If there's alcohol/drugs involved you should probably run the other way. LINKS click to learn more: Help us make more shows!

Bio: Hannah grew up very weird in California, obsessed with science fiction and BDSM from a tender age. After years of globetrotting and rat-racing she found her other half in Brooklyn and continued to globetrot and rat-race, but this time with a sense of deep fulfillment. She aspires to continue the globetrotting but quit the rat-racing alongside her beautiful partner and their perfect son, a German spitz/Pomeranian mix who has just turned three. She translates science fiction, is writing a novel and is probably the best Jewish woman longsword fencer in our neighborhood.

‘Auntie' Midori has a lot of scenes behind her (and in front of her!) and her depth of experience in play means she has huge resources to draw on for ideas. Her interest in rope developed alongside her experience in other kinks, and in this episode, fox and Mya explore some of her more unusual ideas on ‘how to play'. This is a great episode to help enhance your scenes, beginner or advanced, whatever your level. Listen to the discussion to hear about: • Intent in rope bondage, what it means, and making sure both (all) parties' intents match • Food as a metaphor for scening • Why she doesn't start negotiations by discussing the type of tie she wants • How intent can help you if you get stuck progressing your scene • The need to be flexible even when you've planned our your intent in advance • Rituals, what they are, from the simplest to the most complicated • Her personal rope rituals • Insights into her rope playlists • How you can draw on mindfulness to create deeper, more intense rope scenes • The kind of help she needs to get present to the right topping headspace • ‘Antagonistic' versus ‘collaborative' rope, what it is and how it connects to intent • How listeners can use the idea of verbs and nouns in their rope play • Doing rope bondage with your ass! • And so much more

Midori literally ‘wrote the book' on rope bondage, with the first English instruction manual on Shibari: ‘Seductive Art of Japanese Rope Bondage'. With her first hand perspectives on both American and Japanese rope culture, fox and Mya were able to discuss with her a depth of understanding of Japanese Rope culture that may be at odds with some of the myths out there. Listen to the discussion to hear about: • Midori's slow burn entry into rope, and where she learned both the skills of making rope (3rd grade!) and tying (a lot later…) • How not to be a culture vampire in Japanese rope bondage • The sex ways of ordinary people and ensuring we don't erase these • The extent to which rope bondage is actually practised in Japan • A new perspective on the Tengu tie • The themes in her erotic short story in ‘Silk Threads' • The connection - or not - between Japanese rope and Japanese rope martial arts Trailblazing educator, sexologist, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori founded Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women's Dominance Intensive. She penned the first English instruction book on Shibari, "Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage" in 2001, paving the way to the popularity of rope.

Midori joins us to discuss Japanese BDSM & why recognizing fundamental differences in various cultures around the world is the key to understanding the how & why behind kink.  We talk about differences in consent & safety, how differing social norms & hierarchies influence our collective play styles, and how these insights can enhance our own relationships. Most of us aren't great at recognizing our way isn't the only way. But even if you plan on never venturing outside your local BDSM community, a global perspective can broaden your understanding of the psychology behind what we all do, no matter where we do it.     Guest Bio – Midori “Your Fairy God-Auntie of Kink.

“The BDSM Test” is infamous in the kink community and beyond. Since 2014, thousands have proudly posted results like a badge of honor on FetLife profiles. We use it as a roadmap, educational tool, and kink negotiation starter. It's even gone vanilla as the focus of social media challenges and pop magazine writeups. But is this kink subculture phenomenon all it's cracked up to be? While some find it helpful & validating, many say it's othering, stigmatizing, and normalizes red-flag behavior disguised as “kink.” Midori & kinky therapist Joe Zarate-Sanderlin join us on ep 192 to deconstruct the BDSM test question by question + explore its wider impact. Why don't we scrutinize it the same way vet other educational sources? Who wrote this kink test, why, and what are they using the massive amount of data they're collecting about our deviant desires for? Turns out, it's a bit of a mystery…   Midori Bio “Your Fairy God-Auntie of Kink. Exploding Expectations.

IntroductionWelcome to Full Cow, a podcast about leather and kink where your host, Edge (he/him), shares his 30+ years of experience in the community. For this episode we're going to think about bondage.In the first segment, Edge shares his experience with bondage both as a bottom and as a Top. Then, in the second segment, we'll look at some basic bondage info, including safety, ropes types, and knots. Then we have a chat with Master Dart, who offer his experience with bondage and general insight into kink. As a special bonus, the episode ends with Edge reading his erotic story, "Hemp."Related LinksI learned shibari by reading The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage by Midori. If you're a book / written word person, you might want to check it out.Common ropes are hemp and MFP (multifilament polypropylene) and the knots to learn are the square knot and the lark's head knot.Twisted Monk makes beautiful hemp rope and has amazing how-to videos.Learn more about Master Dart on his website or follow him on Twitter.Check out one of Master Dart's recommendations, Two Knotty Boys.If you're interested in my stories, you can purchase The Stories of Edge in Kindle format.Support the show

มาเปิดโลกไปกับ Japanese Bondage หรือศิลปะการมัดเชือกแบบญี่ปุ่น ซึ่งถือเป็นหนึ่งใน sub ย่อยๆ ของ BDSM พร้อมทั้งแหล่ง community ชิบาริในไทย!

In this episode, we continue our interview with sex educator, author, and artist Midori. We learn about the moment she took the leap to become a full-time sex educator. Midori tells us about writing “The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage”, and how the book that was expected to flop turned out to be an international success. Midori spills the honest reality of becoming a sex educator and advises someone interested in taking the plunge.

In this episode we interview sex educator, author, and artist Midori. We get an inside scoop at how her path to becoming a sex “edu-tainer” was driven by creativity, authenticity, and making mistakes. Dubbed by Dan Savage as the “Supernova of Kink”, Midori has created an extensive career. She is known for her artistic installations and performances, being the author of “ The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage”, and her classes on female dominance.

How do you start to sexually experiment without feeling like you've lost control of the situation? Midori, educator, sexologist, and author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, joins Wendy to discuss finding your own adventures in the bedroom. Listen in as Midori explains how we all possess the skill, experience, and knowledge to guide us on our sexual journey and how we can tap into that power.

Join Midori as she shares her insights. Driven by expression and an honest change maker (and one bar stool), artist, teacher, and (lucky me) a friend. A little about Midori:Trailblazing educator, sexologist, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori founded Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women's Dominance Intensive. She penned the first English instruction book on Shibari titled, "Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage" in 2001, paving the way to the popularity of rope. Dan Savage calls her the "Super Nova of Kink," while others affectionately call her Auntie Midori for her cool, tell-it-like-it-is, funny, reality-based teaching. 

She is also the author of "Wild Side Sex," "Master Han's Daughter," and "Silk Threads.”During this pandemic, learn, laugh and enjoy her special online classes, events and art at www.patreon.com/PlanetMidoriInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/planetmidori/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MidoriReallyMidoriCoaching and Private Sexological Consultations: ask@planetmidori.comJoin Midori as she shares her insights. Driven by expression and an honest change maker (and one bar stool), artist, teacher, and (lucky me) a friend.  Listen as we dive into expression (full, artistic, sexual), intersectionality (before it was called that), and change-makers (yes, you). So get comfy, scooch your own personal bar-stool closer to the white patriarchy bar, listen to our wonderful, deliberate, and (sometimes) deep talk, and let's make some societal changes.  As always, kindly yours, RonPsThanks, Midori

How can folks learn to be more of a fem dom (feminine dominance)? How can they introduce fem dom to their partners - particularly for beginners or folks who identify as more vanilla?

Today, our guest is Midori, a legendary sex educator, author, and artist. Midori wrote the classic rope bible, The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, which was the first English-language book on shibari. We chatted about bondage’s roots in warfare, incarceration, and slavery, 1940s erotic imagery in the US and Japan, being part of San Francisco’s sex positive movement in the 1980s and why, when tying up a lover for the first time, it’s important to maintain eye contact.

In this podcast Grace provides a definition to ‘feminine and masculine' energy. This phrase is thrown around like cray within the tantra scene and without definition, can create misunderstanding. In this podcast Grace breaks down the term ‘feminine and masculine' in a grounded fashion, and provides insight into how a growing amount women unknowingly suppress their ‘feminine', and adopt a predominantly ‘masculine' way of being, which can lead to chronic health conditions, lack of sexual desire, and a general feeling of imbalance and unease. Grace of course includes a lil' personal story about how her new favourite way to drop fully into her ‘feminine' is being tied up by a lover in Japanese Bondage.

“Domination's the name of the game in bed or in life, They're both just the same, Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day, Let's play master and servant”. This is how Depeche Mode described what is now called “Kink” in their hit song “Master And Servant”. When I first heard this song as a teenager, I had no idea what they were talking about. I just thought it was a cool song from one of my favorite bands and to be completely open at the time making out with a boy was as far as I could even think about. Now I understand what they are talking about but like many of us I don’t know the deep down value of this play. What draws someone to dominating another person in bed or even better why would someone want to be dominated? Is this just fun couple’s play or is there something about it that being treated like a dog helps balance a person out? Like many of you I’m curious to learn more; to answer these questions and more we interviewed “The Supernova of Kink” from San Francisco. With a title like that we should get to the bottom of this matter…..then SPANK the hell out of it!Our guest today, Midori “The Supernova of Kink” is a renowned educator and writer on sexuality that emerged from the Sex Positive Movement in San Francisco in the early 1990’s. Midori is known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights which calls on her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.Her writing is extensive, ranging from numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, to instructional books. She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han's Daughter. She leads transformative small group intensives, including ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive, Rope Dojo ®, and The Wanted Man intensive.When she's not traveling and teaching, she's creating provocative and haunting art and performances.Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PlanetMidori/Twitter: @PlanetMidori (https://twitter.com/planetmidori)Instagram: @PlanetMidori (https://www.instagram.com/planetmidori/)Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PlanetMidoriWebsiteshttp://www.FHP-inc.comhttp://www.ForteFemme.comhttp://www.RopeDojo.comhttp://WMintensive.com

Shibari - the Art of Japanese Bondage has a long history. What is it exactly, what is its appeal to modern Westerners, why are we discussing it on the Tantric Lounge, why are there photos of Jacqueline being tied up and why is she having trouble speaking? Shibari is Tantric in essence - it’s about deep connection, sensuality, beauty and poetry. Today we talk to Hebari, head teacher at the Rope Dojo in Sydney’s inner suburbs and curator of the Sydney Rope Festival. Listen and look at photos as he ties Jacqueline up during this episode... Guest Info David (known as Hebari) has practiced Shibari for 16 years, travelling to Japan regularly to study with his mentors. He has performed and taught workshops all over the world. David began the Sydney Rope Dojo in 2011 where people can come and take classes weekly. The focus of the Dojo is to enable people connect with their partners with a heavy focus on teaching safe practices. www.sydneyropedojo.com.au www.sydneyropefestival.com.au Photos of Hebari tying up Jacqueline on the show: {module_photogallery,23013,4,,100,295,295} Download Audio: All Tied Up in the Japanese Art of Bondage
