SEX, MAGICK & DESSERT IS LISTENER SUPPORTED. WE INVITE YOU IN THE CREATION OF OUR VIBRATION.  (This episode contains explicit content) 

Kanso, a professional Shibari & Kinbaku Rope Artist, #Instructor, Performer & Sex Positive Educator . He has studied the human anatomy w• a background in TCM in Acupuncture acquired in China in the mid 2000's. Kanso has long been fascinated with Simplicity of Aesthetics: Art, Culture, Food & Somatic Pleasurable Experiences . After visiting an underground BDSM club in Tokyo, where performances included the ancient Japanese art form of Shibari. He came back to the Bay Area & began a career as Rope Artist. (Shibari simply means "To Tie." Kinbaku means "To Bind.") He is a world traveler with clients that span the globe. He’s performed at San Francisco Folsom Street Fair & Lightning in a Bottle Festival just to name a couple... He has a school & a wide variety of clientele w/ private clients & public demos.  Needless to say in this episode we get down and dirty, & extremely inappropriate. It's not for Gratuitous reasons even if we have a laugh here & there. Our conversation is candid & maybe not for everyone but it’s authentic, & a lesson in the #counterculture of #kink & bdsm. So put away that toxic shame surrounding sex & get cozy w/ the one you’re quarantined with, even if that means a night of self lovin’ aka #masturbation.  When Kanso speaks, you can feel the amount of respect he has for his work, his emotional intelligence & how he holds space for those that seek to release #trauma by these alternative methods. He is refreshingly honest about subjects that most people find #taboo . Listen w• an open heart, mind & educate yourself on "the kink" counterculture & how it can be used as an alternative healing therapy . Loosen up with a glass of wine, because it's sexy time!

In 2017, Kanso started the Kiss of Rope with the intention of bringing the art of Japanese rope more into the mainstream, through performance art and private instruction. The aim is to raise awareness of Shibari as a transformational practice that helps build deeper intimacy, connection and sensuality between partners.
