SAN FRANCISCO - Erotic BDSM studio Kink.com has hired director, performer and rope bondage expert Van Darkholme to develop a gay website. The as-yet-unnamed site is expected to go live later this year.
"I'm really honored to become a member of the Kink family," Darkholme said. "I've been told that I bring a unique creative vision to my work. I plan to build on this at Kink's premier production facilities in a city that is arguably the fetish capital of the world. I've been doing bondage for many years, but I see this as a new beginning. My kinky juices are definitely flowing."
Kink.com founder and chief executive officer Peter Acworth said, "We're excited to be able to put the resources of the Armory [Kink.com's history studio facility] at the disposal of Van Darkholme, who has been producing top-notch bondage entertainment for years. He brings a unique perspective on male BDSM and his Shibari skills to Kink.com, where I know he'll thrive and continue to produce amazingly hot, kinky work."
Darkholme has performed for Titan Media and Can-Am Studios, among others, and created a much-talked-about live bondage show. Since 2001 he has operated Muscle Bound Productions, which has released about a dozen films featuring muscular studs in bondage. Darkholme is known as a devoted practitioner of Shibari, an elaborate and artful form of rope bondage that originated in Japan.
Darkholme also is known as an erotic fine-art photographer. Bruno Gmunder recently published Darkholme's book of bondage nudes, Male Bondage.
Darkholme said the new site will feature explicit sex combined with bondage, spanking, flogging and more. He also said another of his favorite fetishes, muscle worship, will be well represented.
