Beyoncé's Naked Metallic Lingerie Set Is Her Spiciest Look Yet

“You probably get more time with speed-dating than you would with The Bachelor Night One,” Tyler Cameron tells Bustle at a speed-dating night he hosted in New York. While he hopes the event sparked matches, he was coy about his own love life, including his upcoming Valentine’s Day plans. “I think I'm going to be back in Jupiter, so if I do something romantic, it'll either be on the boat or I’ll find a nice little plate restaurant. Just something pretty easy.”

I’d recently stumbled across the Instagram account @FreaksnotCreeps, New York City-based rope artist Liv’s visual diary of rope suspension and deviant bondage imagery. As a curious queer, I was hesitant but highly intrigued to know more. I learned that rope bondage is a form of shibari, also known as kinbaku, that originates from Japan. In modern Western culture, the stereotype of an older man tying a skinny, flexible white woman is widespread, but from festivals to meet-ups, there’s actually a thriving, diverse queer rope-bondage community around the world.
