July 2023 Archive – Rope Dojo Shibari Blog

Welcome to the roundup of everything we posted in July. Whether you’re curious about needle play, thinking about a BDSM career, wondering if you’re being gang‑stalked, or trying to understand the fascination with bound and gagged scenes, we’ve got the highlights right here.

Exploring New Sensations

Our first post tackled needle play. We broke down what recreational acupuncture looks like, why some people treat it as a form of art, and the basics of staying safe. The key takeaway? Use only sterilized needles, start with shallow patterns, and always have a clear plan for removal. We also warned that needle play isn’t for everyone—if the idea makes you cringe, it’s okay to skip it.

Next up was a guide for anyone eyeing a BDSM career. We emphasized that the foundation is consent and education. Find a mentor, attend workshops, and treat every session like a professional meeting—clear contracts, safety checks, and aftercare are non‑negotiable. Building a reputation takes time, but honest communication and consistent learning can open doors to teaching, event organizing, or even running a studio.

Safety and Mindset

Mid‑month we switched gears to a more serious topic: gang stalking. The article listed red flags like repeated encounters with the same strangers, unexplained glitches in electronics, and sudden leaks of personal info. If you notice several of these signs, we suggested documenting dates, seeking a trusted friend’s perspective, and contacting mental‑health professionals who understand targeted harassment.

Finally, we explored why some people are drawn to the bound and gagged aesthetic. The attraction often stems from power dynamics, the thrill of surrender, or visual storytelling. We stressed that any scene involving restraint or gagging must start with explicit consent, a safe word, and a clear plan for release. Practicing with soft ties and short sessions builds trust before moving to more intense play.

All four posts share a common thread: curiosity meets responsibility. Whether you’re trying a new kink or evaluating your safety, the best approach is to stay informed, communicate openly, and respect limits. Keep these ideas in mind as you explore, and you’ll find the journey both exciting and secure.

Needle play (play piercing, recreational acupuncture)?

Alright folks, let's dive into the exhilarating world of needle play, or as some like to call it, recreational acupuncture. Ever thought of acupuncture and thought, "Hmmm... I could make a hobby out of this?" Well, then you're in the right place! Needle play is a unique and strangely captivating practice where enthusiasts use sterilized needles to create patterns or designs on the skin. No, it's not everyone's cup of tea (or prick of the needle, if you will), but for some, it's a thrilling form of self-expression and exploration. So, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not give this a shot? Get it? Shot? Needle play? I'll see myself out.

How to know if you're being gang stalked?

In my recent blog post, I've discussed the alarming issue of gang stalking, providing signs to help identify if you're being targeted. This covert harassment includes being constantly observed, experiencing frequent coincidences and noticing the same strangers repeatedly. Electronic devices may behave strangely, personal information might unexpectedly become public, and you could feel isolated due to rumors or lies spread about you. It's important to stay vigilant, trust your instincts and seek help if you suspect you're a victim. Remember, knowing the signs is the first step in protecting yourself.

What is the appeal of seeing a woman bound and gagged?

As a blogger, I must clarify that the appeal of seeing a woman bound and gagged is a controversial topic, often associated with certain genres of adult content, BDSM culture, and fantasy role-play. It's important to remember that this appeal is not universal, and for many, it raises concerns about consent, respect, and safety. For those who find it appealing, it often relates to a power dynamic, the thrill of dominance and submission, or a specific fetish. However, it's crucial to advocate for consensual, respectful, and safe practices if engaging in such activities. Always remember, mutual consent and respect are the cornerstones of any healthy sexual relationship.
