Finally we have the great joy of welcoming the incomparable Brenda Bound to this site, proof that it's never too late to do good!
Can you share with us a bit about your background?
I grew up 45 minutes from Chicago. When I met my husband, I didn't know much about bondage.I guess you can say that I lived a vanilla lifestyle. I asked him about something he was looking at on the internet one day. He replied and I had agreed to try it. If I didn't like it then we wouldn't do it again. So that evening I agreed to let him tie me to the bed. He had left me there to go take a shower. At first I was mad that he had left me there. The more I struggled to get out of the rope the more I realized that I liked the challenge to get out. He then came back from taking a shower and saw how much I had liked it. I have been doing it ever since that night.
Were you a regular mainstream model before beginning the bondage work?
I have never done modeling before that night.
How did you started out in this business?
I belong to a BDSM klub and was playing around and people came up to me and told me that I should/could do it and make money at it. That I should give it a try and start my own website.
How does one discover an affinity to be tied up and enjoy it (you do enjoy it, don’t you? lol)?
I'm not really sure how one discovers an affinity to being tied up and enjoy it. All I did was ask my husband about it and I tried it and loved it. I have been doing it ever since. There are some days I love it more than others but all in all if I didn't like it I wouldn't do it.
What kind of physical/emotional preparation do you go through before working on a shoot that you know will be very demanding?
If I know that I am going to work with someone like Eric Cain or Sgt Major I remind myself to just breathe. I have found that if I slow my heart rate down that the pain part of it isn't so bad. I think it also helps when the person that you are working with is just as relaxed as you. I have become (or at least I feel ) friends with most of the people that I work with. I know that if I have any questions I can send them and email or just call and they help me anyway they can.
Do you have many piercings and/or tattoos? Any more planned for the future?
I do have two piercings. I have my eyebrow and my nose pierced. I do have tattoos... I have 7 of them... most all of them can be covered if need be. As of now I have no plans of getting more tattoos. I know some producers do not like to work with models that have piercings or tattoos.
Some of your photo work goes for a very intense feel (like being kidnapped by someone looking like a serial killer). Do you come up with these stories yourself (and your clips4sale scripts)? How important is it to you to keep an edgy touch?
I feel that the intense feel to my photo work or clips is a 50/50 thing. Some of the ideas are from myself or my husband and some the producers come up with. I feel that if you keep and edgy touch to your work you will attract a different type of followers. I do have a softer side on both my website and clips4sale store. I try to mix it up to keep a varitiy of followers.
Can you describe each of your different sites/stores and give us an idea of what can we enjoy on each of them?
My website is mostly DID or predicament bondage. I do have some forced O's on there. As for my clips4 sale store I have two of them. Brendas Bound Bondage Adventures which is a bondage store, and my other store Brendas Bound Orgasim Store.
You seem to know some other Sirens like Maxine X, Briella Jaden, etc. What qualities do you prefer in another model before choosing to work alongside her? And how does it work when you decide to go touring with other models?
Well when working with a model the first thing I asked are about their limits if they have any. In a bussiness aspect I feel that it is important to know that information. You don't want to direspect that model in anyway. If they don't feel comfortable or safe they will not work with you that day or ever. It is important to let them know that you respect them as a person. Not just as a model.
The only thing that I request for a model to be on my site or Clips4Sale stores is that they're not be badly bruised. I understand that some bruising will happen (for it has happened to me) but for my site (and preference) I prefer that they not purposedly get bruised right before I am to work with them.
I honestly have not done a tour with another model at the moment. I am going on tour with Briella Jaden the whole month of November. We did work together in Ohio and it went well. She did work at my studio and stayed with us for a few days. We had decided to tour together and I know it will be great because we work so well together.
What is your favorite bondage situation/position? Only once choice please!
My favorite bondage situation/position is the Hogtie. I really like the challenge of tring to get out of the tie, only when allowed. I feel it also helps stretch my muscles so I'm allowed to do more positions. I have come along ways since I first started.
You’ve contacted our own asian superstar Miss Tamiyah recently; do you agree that models from certain ethnic types are under represented in the bondage field (especially ebony girls)? Why can it be so?
I do agree that models from certain ethnic types are under represented in the bondage field. I can't honestly tell you why because I do not know that answer. There are alot of beautiful ethnic women that would like to do bondage, they just don't get the chance.
Do you think that there are so many web stores around and so many free video tubes, that the market will be saturated or redundant in the near future?
I do feel that there are a lot of web stores around but I'm not sure about the market being saturated or redundant in the near future. I know that there will always be people that like/love bondage and other things in the BDSM world that will always find a site to buy from or subscribe to. I feel that in today's society that it is still a hidden world. That most people still don't want their family, friends, or spouse to know about what they enjoy or like. So I feel that it may decline at first but will come back with a force. So I guess all in all I'm saying that it will always be around.
What other bondage producers/studios do you value most in term of quality work?
I value a few producers more than some. Sgt Major, JJPlush, GotCuffs, Eric Cain, and SteveVilla to name a few, has helped me a lot along the way. They have showed me the ropes in the industry. Their quality of work is great. They respect the models that they work with and they also help if they ask a question. The producers that I have mentioned I have worked with many times, and each time I learned more things. I feel that we have become friends in a way.
When other models ask me about them I tell them "they are great to work with, you should try it. I had a blast". When a model isn't sure about working with someone for the first time, I offer to travel with them so they feel comforable with that producer. It helps to know that you have another model willing to go that extra mile to make them comfortable. I am always comfortable when I work with the producers mentioned. If I didn't, I honeslty would not work with them.
We can’t wait to do something with you! Will it ever be possible to work soon with the Cult Sirens crew?
I feel that we will work together soon. I would love to be apart of the Cult Sirens crew. I hope we get together soon to do something. It will be fun. I hope I have answered all your questions to your liking. Hope to see you soon.
