1. How'd you get into bondage and what escalated that interest from a casual interest to something you decided to pursue professionally?

2. Where would you recommend someone with zero experience start out? A lot of exposure people have to bondage is the crazy complex/pretty stuff like in the pictures that posted that would be dangerous to attempt without proper experience.
