Sex Outside Nature Quickies are short, 5-minute dives into a specific, practical topic about our bodies and the outdoors. This one features kink enthusiast and naturalist Rey Arrastia, who helps answer some questions about bondage for folks who are curious to try it and dispels some common assumptions that athletes and recreationalists might have when it comes to applying outdoor knot tying skills to bondage practice. Spoiler: you’ll need to learn some different knots… oh, and skip the paracord.
