We interview @Kinky_Engineer, a kinky educator who has been practicing elements of BDSM and kinky play his whole adult life. His personal play style draws on a professional and martial arts background, and is imbued with a strong focus on safety, Risk Aware Consensual Kink and a joy of playing near the edges. We interviewed him about his experience as an engineer designing and creating kink gear and equipment. Essentially, what’s useful for doing rope bondage - besides rope?!
He tells us:
- How growing up on a farm makes you kinky!
- His Western bondage versus Japanese bondage experiences
- Why he prefers a suspension ring to carabiners and how that led him to design a better suspension ring
- The best cutting tool to buy
- His very surprising choice to answer ‘if you could only have one piece of non-rope gear in your kit, what would it be?
- Where suspension equipment tends to fail most, and how to prevent this
- How best to check hard points in a new venue to you
