The First Rope Is Not the First Rope, Neo, Because There Is No Spoon!

The problem with a three rope TK is that there may be a perception of a specific function for each rope used.

He believes that honor and integrity are paramount in his relationships and dealings with everyone. His tastes in SM are as broad and varied as the lifestyle itself ranging from being a new player's "first time" to an advanced player's roller coaster ride operator.

Although, pushing the envelope is a passion, and Bob believes the essence of edge play is pure, unadulterated and brutal truth. So, from a spiritual side, you could call him a seeker of truth. His philosophy and desire, is to make a positive difference within the community, believing that "paying it forward" does honor, to those that came before and taught him.

In the midst of all this serious truth-seeking and pain dispensing, he manages to keep a great sense of humor and has had opportunity to travel the US with his property, BootPig, having adventures, meeting people and teaching at events such as TES Fest, Folsom Fringe, Tribal Fire, Southwest Leather and more.

Care and Feeding of the Submissive

Care and Feeding is a Holistic “Whole Person" approach to What It Is We Do; that stems from a perspective of responsibility rather than one of entitlement. Topics touched on are pragmatism in conjunction with a 24/7 D/s life (as opposed to a life STYLE); integration of Leather into the "real world"; the importance of negotiation and communication, and the occasional bursts of heresy. This class started out as a 100 level class, and has evolved into a “graduate seminar” on relationship dynamics and communication. Come with questions. We’ll find the answers together. If you’ve attended this class previously, IT’S NOT THE SAME CLASS. It keeps evolving, growing as we do in our relationships.
