Anne Bengard
Like Melting Butter
Posting this piece on Instagram led to a shadow ban due to “sexual solicitation and nudity.”
There is, however, no nudity present, nor a clear reference to sexual solicitation. Anne Bengard’s intention was quite the opposite: to depict a less sexualized side of rope bondage, emphasizing the peaceful state after a suspension and capturing a moment of intimacy and bliss as the bunny (a term within the rope bondage community for someone being tied up) is freed from the tight grip and friction of the ropes.
The work portrays a tender moment between two women at the end of a beautifully sensual bondage session. The atmosphere was intense, sensual but not sexual, full of tease, tenderness, and the pushing of the bunny to the edge of her pain threshold, before she fell into a deep state of relaxation.
For Bengard, the shadow ban reflects how quickly judgment is cast on this practice and the associations attached to it. Through her work, she seeks to move beyond sexual connotations and stereotypes, shifting the focus toward emotional states and the artistry created with the rope itself.
