After completing reBOUND, Shibari Style Impressions I was left with a void. Not knowing where to go from here with my rope work. Tying women for me is such a rewarding experience I started to wonder what tying men would be like. While reflecting on this my brother Ben came to mind. I began to formulate a vision for a Men's Shibari Project. Before that occured it is my motivation that crystalized within my heart and mind.

In 1999 my brother Ben died at age 40. He had active AIDS at the time of his death and lived with HIV for about 16 years. He was a kind man with a gentle soul and a magnanimous individual. This project was created to honor his memory and the stand he took to further the cause for people with HIV and AIDS. To take that further I am contributing a significant amount of the proceeds of the sale of the future book to AIDS Research in his name.

Having studied and worked with people my whole life I have some definitive opinions as to the difference in psychology where tying men and women are concerned. I intend to show this difference in psychology through capturing men in Japanese Style Rope Bondage. I am thrilled to undertake this journey. What I have noticed so far is that I am able to capture the raw intensity of the male energy in bondage. This is extremely edgy and powerful. I hope to complete this project by the end of Febraury 2012 by having a book designed.

So, for you men out there, whatever your orientation is, I invite you to contact me. Let's talk about what we can collaborate on to create something unique. You can use the Model Call Form to contact me. I am looking forward to this journey. The culmination will be a book on and about men in rope. Thank so much, David Lawrence
