LOCKED UP, TIED DOWN HARD and TANGLED
The Bondage Issue
This issue will make you wanna be locked up, tied down, and tangled all up in knots until you’re begging for more! We got rough bikers who bind their bitches out in the California desert, as well as a rope scene that’s as beautiful as it is brutal.
In this issue, we’re also looking at bondage in Kuala Lumpur, and we explore whether gear is really gear unless, and until, it locks. Featuring the fine work of Matt Spike, Dutchpupmomo, Timber Woof, IntaGlove, Thiktool, Q Darkqwolf, inkedKenny, and many, many others.
