Are you familiar with shibari?  It's the Japanese art of rope bondage.  It can range from fashion to some pretty crazy suspension stuff, and rope artists can be anywhere from novice to insane experts with their own breathing styles, motions, rituals.  I took a tying lesson once with a Berkeley expert and it was insane.  He tied up his wife in elaborate, perfect knots that were the perfect balance of tension all across her body in a few deft motions, and his wife just melted in his hands with joyful, safe surrender.  I wasn't familiar until I came to San Francisco and met all the kinky hippies, but it turns out to be pretty popular wherever I go.  Especially in less coastal places, shibari people are pretty excited to have an Asian canvas to work with.  Here's a light version with Sam Shiva.  Thanks again and enjoy!
