-You are one of the most important bondager on the net, when you have start there aren't a lot of web-sites like now but there was a lot of magazines published. So, what do you think about this change?

When I was a young man, I loved getting the HOM magazines and Harmony publications. It was definitely more of an effort to find good bondage material because you had to wait for them to come to you in the form of magazines or videos. To a certain extent that made them all the more exciting when they arrived. But there is also something to be said for the internet and the instant gratification you get when you can surf to any style of bondage that you want. Either way, there is no turning back now.

-In Italy there aren't a lot of bondage web-sites and is soo difficult to start a profession like this. Italian bondagers think that in US is more simple to open a bondage we-site; what do you think about it and what do you suggest to Italian bondager?

It would hope that it is not much more difficult to open up a bondage website in Italy as it is in the US. It is important to have a lot of good models at your disposal who are willing to do bondage. It is also important to send out reciprical link requests, and market yourself a little bit. There are some great photographers in Italy and I know of at least one (whose name I will not mention) that has a VERY successful bondage website. So it definitely can be done. If you have to translate your site into English or Dutch to get members, do it.

-What's your opinion about the USC?

Most of the people in the US bondage community are very upset about the new USC2257 rules and do not hold back their criticism for the entire thing. I do understand that there have to be steps taken to ensure that people under 18 are not involved in this community, It is important that we know that all models are at least 18. It is also important that we make efforts to ensure that we try our best to keep minors out of our websites. The biggest responsibility though should be on the parents. The new rules however are so strict and extreme that they want us to document every picture that we have ever taken and the location of every picture that we have ever taken. When you are a bondage producer and you turn out hundreds of pictures every week, thousands every year, it becomes a bookeeping nightmare to list them all. I have over 10,000 pictures on my site and more are coming every day. It is very burdensome to list all of them. There should be some compromises that can be made that will make it easier on producers while still maintaining proof that all models are of age. Hopefully some compromises will work out in the future. Those who make the laws seem to assume that we all have large staffs of people who can maintain unreasonable amounts of records. We do not.

-What is, about you, the situation of bondage models in your country? You have problems to find them?

When you first start a website, it can be a little difficult to find models.. But once you start and develop a good reputation for treating models right and paying them well, it is not difficult at all to find models. The difficult parts comes when you have to turn models down, either because you have too much material, or the model is just not the right one for what you want for your site. I hate to turn anyone down, but sometimes I have to. Right now there are more models than producers at this point.

-What's your favourite model?

As much as it may not be fair for me to choose one model over another, I guess it is rather obvious that my favorite model is Christina Carter. I have worked with her since almost the beginning of my website, and not only is she the most fun and sexy model in the world, but she is also a good friend. That being said, I also enjoy working with Kordelia Devonshire, Cole Apple, Martina Warren, and former model Kate Mandala. They are all great. There are also many great models that I have not had the opportunity to work with who I admire greatly.

-I have see that in your good web-site you love to take pictures with historical customs: is your fetish passion? What do you like in an historical set: customs, bondage or reproducing the set?

I love costumes because as a kid I enjoyed watching TV and movies in which cowgirls, medieval wenches, pirates, and all sorts of historical women were tied and gagged. This created all kinds of bondage fantasies for me, so I enjoy re-creating fantasies. I especially love cowgirls, and secretaries, but all costumes are great.

-The common bondager is a person that doesn't express is passion on public, so, what's your relation with persons that live a tightened contact with you in everyday life?

Before the internet came along, we were all alone in our passion for bondage. It was not something you discussed with others so you kept your thoughts to yourself. The internet has allowed the bondage community to come together. It is refreshing to meet and get to know others who share your passions. I have been lucky to have many good friends in this community that I am able to be "myself" around. It is also great fun to be able to tie young lady friends even when there is no camera around. Bondage is just plain fun !!

- Ok, thanks a lot, a last suggestion for Italian bondagers?

My suggestion is that in order to grow the bondage community in Italy, you have to keep networking. Chat with each other through e-mails, chatrooms, and by supporting the bondagers in your area. Just keep talking and people will listen.
