Guest Blogger: John Paul “The Pope”
A Few Words from the S&M World
I am really excited about this one. For a long time certain genres have been underrepresented on this site. One of the big ones has been the S&M world. It is outside of my area of expertise and I am thrilled to have contributions from John Paul. “The Pope” knows his stuff and shoots for Dungeon Corp. I hope you all enjoy his contributions. This first blog is a little introduction. There will be another later in the week.
John Paul “The Pope” Writes:
I got into the industry on July 27, 2004 after being recruited by Ogre. I met him on a shoot, and after we exchanged a few emails and I sent him some shots that I had taken, he offered me a job. I wasn’t keen on the idea of moving to LA, but I was more than happy for a change of scenery from the south. I was born and raised in Georgia, and don’t get me wrong I have true southern pride, but I always felt that I needed more than what the south had to offer. My roots are deeply rooted in the south, but I just felt a void and little did I know that LA could fill it. I settled in quickly and met alot of great people, as well as a fiance that I will be married to on October 16th of this year.
It didn’t take long for this new found career to take over my life…in a good way ofcourse. I have been a sadist for as long as I can remember, and now I had an outlet for it. I enjoyed the helplessness of a woman restrained, but not to the degree that I have gotten to now. I finally found a job/career that fits; something that I love to do and am lucky enough to make it a career. I developed such a passion for rope and the beauty of the female body restrained, that I studied as much as I could…from ogre, other riggers, and any book I could get my hands on. I have made it my mission to excel in this art of rope bondage, by always trying to out do myself.
I now direct, produce, and rig for all of the Dungeon Corp sites, as well as Dom for SocietySM.com, and make appearances on StrictRestraint.com and FuckingDungeon.com. I do monthly shows at Club Hell, Fetish Nation, and Bondage Ball in Hollywood. I am branching out to other cities such as Atlanta and Chicago, and hopefully New York soon to do shows.(Haven’t done shows in other cities yet, but have the connections to do so)
