Hello. Welcome to Madisonbound I'm Madison Young and this is a little glimpse at who I am. Well to start things off I love rope. I grew up around rope my entire life. My family runs a tree care service in the midwest and I grew up working there in the summers and on the weekends. Even then I was being tied up and suspended from great heights, but not for bondage purposes. Rope smells like home. It smells like autumn leaves and trees and sex. The touch of rope against my flesh is enough to get me wet and dreamy eyed.

 

The first time I experienced rope in the context of bondage was on a shoot for Hogtied.com. I had decided that I would try it out and that it might help support me as an artist while I was getting my gallery up and running. I went in not knowing what to expect. Peter Atworth tied me up and tortured me well and I discovered that indeed I was flexible and indeed I did love pain. I connected with the rope. It became part of me and the pain became a beautiful electric current that tickled as it ran into and out of my body. I found immense pleasure in the freedom of bondage, the spaces that it allowed me to explore outside of my body. It was a spiritual and challenging experiment in which I was able to document and get paid for. Not a bad deal on my end. I got my fix from work and was very happy to find a profession that catered to my kinky side since none of my partners were into it. I worked exclusively with Hogtied for about a year and then started traveling to NYC to work with people like Viking at Tiedgirls.com and to Seattle and PDX to work with Knotnice, House of Gord, and Nawashibari and found amazing dommes such as Lydia Mclane and Betka Schpitz to treat me to their yummy and fierce domination. Then I started making my way down to LA for shoots and found wonderful people like Gwen Media, Steve Diet Goedde,Kelly Lind,Ariel X,Fetish Nation, the amazing and talented Julie Simone, and Dave Naz. I've recently started making trips to Europe for shoots as well to work with people such as FetishEyes and AchtungFetish. I also now make my way to Chicago,Tampa - for Fetish Con, Austin for the Austin Rope Symposium and to cities all around the world.  And whenever at home in San Francisco I try to work with some of my favorite natives Midori, Chanta Rose, and Charles Gatewood.

This kinky girl next door sprouted up from Ohio and I left as soon as I graduated. I studied art, theater, women studies, and writing in college and moved to San Francisco where I now write smut,reviews on sex books and videos, and articles on hot queer things to do around the world for a couple different queer magazines. I spend a good deal of my time in aiports and airplanes flying off to shoots around the world to work with wonderful rope artists,producers, and photographers.

When I'm not in front of the camera, I'm busy making art. I'm a visual artist, musician, and a writer. I show frequently at galleries.  I curate over 50 events each year, run my own community art gallery and also run the Traveling Erotic Art Show which tours erotic kinky artists to galleries around the country.  I'm currently finishing my first book of memoirs on my experiences as a bondage model.  You can get a sneak peak at the book in the anthology

Baby Remember My Name -  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/078671 7920/102-5982004-4772938?v=glance&n=283155.

I live with my two kitty cats, Kinsella and Pip, who I love very much in the big queer Castro in San Francisco and cuddle and get tied up by my partner James Mogul as much as our busy schedules can permit.  I'm a vegan who loves good music and queer community organizing. I love home decorating and watching animae. I'm a work a holic but I'm trying to allow more time to spend with my friends.
