Lochai "working" at Hogtied.com
SAN FRANCISCO (August 22, 2008) – Award-winning fine art bondage photographer Lochai will take over from Matt Williams as director of Kink.com’s Hogtied.com, the company announced today.
“Hogtied was our first site and we still consider it our flagship,” said Kink.com founder and CEO Peter Acworth. “We’re very pleased to bring Lochai on to continue the Hogtied tradition. He’s one of the best-known bondage riggers around and for years he’s been out there in the community, both as a photographer and as an educator. Most importantly, he really gets what’s fun and beautiful and hot about women in bondage – he understands the Kink.com esthetic. I’m very much looking forward to working with him.”
Lochai’s inaugural update on Hogtied.com is a sizzling 56-minute scene with 22-year-old Virginian beauty Isobel Wren. Shot when Lochai was auditioning for his new role, the scene currently headlines the site, In it, Wren is placed in Lochai’s trademark Japanese-influenced rope bondage and subjected to a stunning number of screaming orgasms, including a copious squirt. Throughout, Lochai’s sardonic humor tempers the intense bondage and stimulation.
Said Lochai:
“Everything that’s done in any of the Kink.com sites is real, so it’s not like I’m acting a part. I’m actually being myself. I’m sarcastic, I’m a smart ass, I laugh during scenes and I also console when someone’s upset. I’m going to be doing my real play, my real life, within the walls of the Armory, because that’s what’s expected by the customers — and that’s what’s expected by Kink.com. I’m going to be super comfortable there, because I feel like I’m home.”
An award winning photographer whose work appears in galleries as well as in publications like The British Journal of Photography, Secret, Skin Two, Bizarre, and in his own fine art books, Lochai is equally well known as a bondage educator, teaching classes at conferences around the United States and doing public scenes in nightclubs and at fetish events. A founding director of the Photo Artisans Guild (PAG), in West Palm Beach Florida, he was also the co-founder and co-curator of the Traveling Erotic Art Show, which spent two years touring the United States. He also moderates a group on BDSM social networking site FetLife, CommUNITY Building, that seeks to build BDSM and alternative sexuality leadership skills.
Lochai takes over from longtime Hogtied.com director Matt Williams, who began directing the site in 2003. Williams was recently promoted to Kink.com’s Creative Director, and will be guiding creative development on new sites as well as Kink.com’s existing sites. “I’m looking forward to helping with the overall creative level,” said Williams. “I’m going to work with existing sites and new sites both, developing the look and feel, and sharing fantasies that I have in my head — I have great ideas for each one of our sites.”
Williams will continue to direct unscripted girl-girl erotic wrestling site UltimateSurrender.com, which he calls “my little baby.” “I’m going to hang on to that – I have some great ideas for the future.”
Lochai expressed his excitement about his new role.
“Every person who’s ever sat down in front of me in a classroom, or who has surrounded me out in a club to watch what I’m doing, has wanted this job. They want to get paid to tie up beautiful women and get them off – and that’s my job. It’s a wonderful feeling, and an affirmation that my kink pays off.”
A longtime Florida resident, Lochai will be relocating in September to the San Francisco area. He says he’ll continue his work teaching bondage and SM lifestyle classes, both at the half-dozen conferences he traditionally attends annually, and in the San Francisco area.

Viva la Vida by Coldplay
All the best things I could find for you in one week, and some things I have forgotten to include for a while now. I’m a little late this weekend, because I spent a little too much time socializing. However, in my own defense, against myself, I would say that I have worked 18 hour days 7 days a week for … what seems like an eternity. Okay, enough self-rationalization. I’m late, but no rabbit had to die. Here is this week’s Good Things List - hopefully it’s a better version than Martha’s.
A Good Blog To Read!
Fanny Lucette is a Ph.D. psychology professor, with M.A. degrees in related fields. She has been a counselor and educator for many years. She recently wrote a guest post for me on Catalina Loves (thank you thank you thank you!!) and she will be joining the new community blog that will launch soon at bestsexbloggers.com. Her blog is not a sex blog per se, but as she describes it on her page, “All of us have questions about relationships, sexual thoughts or behaviors. My life experiences and professional credentials will help you sort through it all.” So take a look and hit your RSS feeds because you’ll want to keep up with Ms. Lucette once you’ve started reading.
A Good (Strap On) Dildo
Strap on play. Three little words, but they can invoke an entire mental scene, can’t they? Strap-on sex. Imagine the scene. Is it a lesbian scene? Do you see it as a Domme/sub scene? Is it a loving couple experimenting with assplay together? It really can be any and it can be all. The fact is, I have used strapons with women, as a professional dominatrix, and also as a loving wife (even a submissive loving wife, at that). I choose the Corsette Harness as my new favorite strap on harness because it’s soft, velvety, black, feminine, and (important for practical purposes) it adjusts easily so it’s easy to slip in and out of gracefully.
A Good Podcast
Graydancer’s “The Ropecast” is the new home of the premiere rope bondage podcast. This podcast talks about kinky sex, consensual adult bondage, and discusses dominance, submission, sado-masochism, and the iniquieties of the square knot in a frank, open, and entertaining way. (I didn’t write that, by the way, but it is all true and well-written, so why re-invent the wheel? I copied and pasted from The Ropecast site).
A Good Book
It’s going to become very obvious to you soon, so I’ll just ‘fess up now - I am definitely kissing Graydancer’s ass this week. Why? Because I’ve admired him for so long and I practically begged him to be a part of bestsexbloggers.com. I told him that I would, in fact, kiss his ass, if he would join. He joined, so here is Graydancer’s book, Nawashi - A Novel of Erotic Magic. Take a lookee and buy a coppee.
A Good Educational Opportunity
Did you know that you can take free courses online from MIT (yes, that’s the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT). Well, kind of. Read carefully, but essentially they make their course materials available online and though you don’t get credit for it, you can learn for the sake of learning. Now here’s the cool thing, to me, anyway. I thought that MIT only offered courses in science and math. I was wrong. Here is the course description of the course I’m currently taking:
Este semestre la materia combina obras ya canonizadas de finales del siglo XIX y del XX con algunas obras de reciente aparición. De los géneros literarios, vemos poesía, el cuento corto, la novela y la autobiografía. También vemos una película de tema ficticio y dos documentales. El estudiante que se interese por hacerlo puede usar los materiales en la Reserva y en la red para familiarizarse con la historia literaria y cinematográfica de este período. Nuestro enfoque principal, sin embargo, será leer bien y de modo analítico, textos literarios de diferentes momentos históricos y culturas nacionales (e internacionales). Aunque discutiremos analíticamente las tres películas, su interés principal para nosotros será, en un caso, conocer el argumento ideológico de una novela muy famosa e influyente que, por falta de tiempo, no vamos a poder leer en sus totalidad, y en los dos otros casos, para contextualizar una autobiografía y tener un punto de comparación para estudiar cómo se puede reconstruir la memoria simultáneamente individual y colectiva. Otros temas, que se estudiarán en varias obras, serán el bilingüismo (español/inglés) en ciertos escritores hispanoamericanos contemporáneos, y el auge de la novela best seller en la América Hispana.
So, in case you can’t tell, that’s an advanced Spanish literature course. Who knew I could brush up on my primary field of study with free online courses from MIT?! I just found out recently, but I’m on it! The Catalina Downer Disclaimer: You might have to buy books and don’t forget that books are not free. Ever. So, though the courses are free, you can’t necessarily say that you can take any class you want for free. Sorry. But this is about as close as you can get!
A Good Corset (and lingerie)
Mio Destino is located in Europe, but delivers worldwide and has a domestic office. Their corsets are undeniably quality. You’re not buying an ebay corset, this is the one you’ve been saving up for. They aren’t so horribly expensive that you can’t afford it unless you’re married to a very wealthy international finance attorney, however, they’re not cheap either. The selection is unbelievable - corsets by designer, shape, by fabric, corsets to wear out, bridal corsets, underbust corsets, and corset skirts. They are the way to go if you’re in the market for that special one.
A (PERFECT) Album
Viva la Vida by Coldplay is amazing. Brian Eno produced it, so when I first heard it, I rejected it stating simply, “I’m not interested in listening to another U2 album.” What a bitch! Now, I come back with my official opinion - “This is the best Coldplay album yet.” You must listen to it through headphones. That’s my only caveat. It sounds good over speakers, and it sounds great in the car, but there is something special about listening to it in the headphones, like being able to hear Chris quietly count off. Also, I own the official album and then I also have the special Marky D. Sade found this two weeks before it was released version. The difference is that I have two extra tracks - Lost (acoustic) and Lovers in Japan (acoustic). The trick is that you have to listen to the album, looped, without the two extra tracks. Let song 10 fade into song 1. I won’t give it away here, but just do it. It’s neato. I think my favorite song right now is Strawberry Swing. It’s a great way to start the day - Chris Martin telling you it’s such a perfect day.

July 2nd, 2008 — Domination, Spanking, Stuff and Things, Submission, The Momme Domme
I’ve given a lot of thought lately to my style of domination as I’ve been working a lot on The Momme Domme. I’m not like most Dommes. I don’t go through all the ridiculous bullshit and high and mighty protocol crap. In fact, I think that the same things that make me a good Momme are the same things that make me a good Domme. In both cases, the following things are very simple, but very true:
- I demand total and complete authority. What I say goes. Period. It is my responsibility to consider all involved and there is room for respectful discussion, but in the end, the decision is mine and mine alone.
- It matters as much what as is said as how it is said.
- If I give a task to be done and a time limit in which to do it, it must be done or there will be consequences.
- Permission is necessary for most activities. Privileges are earned and can be revoked.
- Backtalk is never acceptable.
- Bratty behavior results in isolation.
- Sometimes a spanking is necessary.
- Good behavior is rewarded and praised lavishly.
- I feel tenderly and sweetly, maternal, in both cases.
So that’s it - basically I’m bossy and I’m always right. But isn’t every Momme (Domme)?
