Luna Lovely's one standing request at KINK is a rope suspension, and her first Hogtied scene with John Paul the Pope delivered. Inverted and dangling from the ceiling, followed by flogging, caning and a body full of clothespins. Here she shares how breath and laughter carried her through it.
Worth the Wait
I get jealous when I see other performers taking more pain than I can take. That's why I waited years for a one on one with JP.
My first Hogtied.com scene with John Paul the Pope was definitely worth the wait. His presence is both caring and intense. The contrast between brutality and compassion makes for a beautiful head fuck.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
The premise of the shoot is simple—just have fun! And that's exactly what I do! JP is very creative with his ties and makes sure the model is included in deciding what does or does not happen. I always put in a special request for a rope bondage suspension when I'm performing at KINK and JP made sure it happened.
Reveling in the Process
The process of being tied up is very calm and collected. But once I am lifted into the air it is time to get intense.
During suspension I am inverted and dangling from the ceiling, all the blood in my body rushing toward my head as my world is flipped. Rope encircles my hips, hugging me tight.
With my ankles bound together and my wrists bound behind my back, I am a tight little cocoon of flesh ready for JP to toy with.
Inverted Suspension Safety
Inverted suspension is one of the most advanced forms of rope bondage, and scenes like this one are built on a rigger's years of practice. A few things are worth knowing before trying it:
Inversions are short. With blood rushing to the head, time upside down should be kept brief, and the rigger watches the bottom's color, breathing and focusing the whole time.
Circulation and nerves come first. Tingling, numbness or a cold hand means adjusting or coming down right away, not toughing it out.
Safety shears stay within reach. Rope can be cut in seconds if anything goes wrong.
Learn on the floor first. Partial suspensions and floor work build the skills and body awareness that full inversions depend on, ideally with hands-on instruction.
The Build Up
JP begins to beat me with different implements like the leather flogger, spiky paddle and that wicked stingy cane, leaving my head swimming. I take a breath and prepare for it to get even more challenging.
Accepting the Challenge
The most difficult part of my scene is pushing through to see how much pain I can take. There is plenty of pain to push through on this shoot — from JP pulling on my nipples while I am dangling upside down in a suspension or the intense sensation of being covered in wooden clothespins.
The small but mighty bite of the clothespin shouldn't be underestimated, especially when they cover a freshly beaten chest or trace their way up the tender tissue of my thighs, dangerously close to my cunt. Clothespins even make their way up my neck and face which are covered in drool from the massive ball gag filling my mouth.
The pain is immense but so rewarding.
The Power of Breath and Laughter
I process my pain through laughter and breathing during this shoot with JP. When the crop appears, giggling is the only thing to help me through the stinging pain.
When he brings the spanking cane out I immediately begin to panic, but I focus on my breathing. I pay attention to each breath and slowly blow out with each hit. The pain is intense and even beautiful as it builds.
My body is alive, awake, and I am experiencing all of it.
Pushing Boundaries
I feel myself approaching my boundaries, near the very threshold of what I can take. But I love that! I love to push my boundaries with each shoot. Just to see what I can accomplish is an empowering experience, and JP always challenges me.
Looking back at what I am able to take always makes me feel like I'm invincible. It's a wonderful feeling of empowerment and relief, like I just let go of a big weight.
The Satiated Submissive
I always think of myself as stronger after each scene.
I still feel a little jealous when I see other performers take more pain than me. But once I shoot a scene, I feel that I can take my share and it makes me feel fulfilled as a submissive.
KINK production days are always extra special because everyone cares so much about what's being produced and makes sure everyone feels safe and included on set. I am forever grateful for the experience of such intense scenes with such a reputable company. They make me feel safe and excited to explore and push my boundaries.

FAQ
Who is Luna Lovely?
Luna Lovely is a KINK performer who always requests rope bondage suspension on set and loves pushing her pain limits. Her first Hogtied scene with John Paul the Pope featured an inverted rope suspension, impact play and clothespins.
What is rope suspension bondage?
Rope suspension is a form of bondage where the bottom is tied and lifted partly or fully off the ground, held by rope attached to a suspension point. It takes advanced rigging skill, careful body monitoring and a rated hard point.
What is an inverted suspension?
An inverted suspension holds the bottom/submissive upside down. It is among the most demanding positions in rope bondage, so time spent inverted is kept short and the rigger watches closely for any sign of distress.
Why Clothespins Bite So Hard
Wooden clothespins pinch a small fold of skin, so the sensation is sharp and concentrated. The most intense moment often comes when they're removed, as blood rushes back into the compressed skin. That's why clothespin play usually starts on fleshier areas, stays away from joints and thin skin over bone, and doesn't leave pins on for long.
Why do clothespins hurt more when they come off?
While a clothespin is on, it compresses the skin and slows blood flow. When it's removed, blood rushes back into that tissue, which creates a sharp, intense sting. Which can be invigorating, and more painful than when the clothespins were attached.
How do submissives process pain during a scene?
Many use breath, slowly exhaling with each strike, to move sensation through the body. Others, like Luna, find that laughter helps. Laughter releases endorphins which can actually increase your pain threshold. Both breathing through it and laughter can make intense sensation feel manageable and even rewarding.
