BDSM, Shibari, and Jealousy

Over the years, I’ve developed a special play and professional friendship with someone who, for privacy, I’ll refer to as Arturo.

Before Covid, while I was working on my shibari skills, I came into contact with a girl. Let’s call her Rosamunda Crocefissa Guastolfa. She became my model, and we mixed in some BDSM play. I have to say, she played an important role in helping me develop my shibari soft skills. She helped me learning from Hua Hua, one of the most phenomenal shibari artists and teachers alive.

Rosamunda had a boyfriend, Arturo, who turned out to be quite jealous of all the fancy things I was doing to her. He even hated me. So he invited me over for dinner. Probably to poison me or something. I remember spending a lot of time looking at his bookshelf, it was packed with Nietzsche and Cioran. We talked about our common passion for philosophy and it was instant crush between us. That night, Rosamunda and I topped Arturo together, and he quickly became my favorite practice model.

Eventually, they moved farther away, and we couldn’t play as often. In the meantime, I turned pro. Not long ago, we reconnected. Arturo told me he’s writing a book about his journey with sexual identity in London and that I’m part of it. He wanted to session again.

Arturo is a fantastic model: muscular, masochistic, colorful... perfect for both clips and photos. I told him he could consider modeling professionally. He agreed to shoot with me and a few other trusted professionals. Our shoots always come out looking incredibly hot because we’re not just posing, we’re genuinely having great sessions.

From time to time, he even vetted beginners and brought them to my events and sessions. What a partnership! Looking back on all the times we’ve shared, he was kind enough to leave a review afterward:

"I love the feeling of surrendering myself completely into the hands of the rigger – especially when it’s Rocco. With him, I place a trust that feels almost sacred.

Rocco is the kind of professional who brings both skill and deep care into every session. He takes the time to truly understand the body and mind of the person he’s working with. His approach is precise, attentive, and respectful, yet never lacking intensity.

What sets Rocco apart is his ability to guide you gently but firmly to your physical, psychological, and aesthetic limits. He knows exactly how far to go, and when to pause. There’s a deep intelligence in the way he works – a mix of technical mastery and emotional presence that makes you feel completely held.

He’s also incredibly flexible and responsive. Whether you're looking for something physically demanding, sensually immersive, or emotionally cathartic, Rocco adapts with ease. You never feel rushed or judged – only supported in your experience.

Being tied by Rocco is not just a session. It’s a journey, a ritual, and a form of connection that stays with you long after the ropes are off." [Arturo]
