YNOT – Expert rigger and BDSM performer-director “The Pope” John Paul takes fans on an intimate journey through some intensely brutal territory at a new website designed to explore the intersection of pleasure and pain.

Although The Pope’s high-concept work appears on other sites in the Twisted Factory BDSM network, brand-new SadisticRope.com is the first devoted entirely to the director’s personal fantasies. It’s also the first site he has created especially for Twisted Factory since joining the company in September. Employing bare-bones sets, one-on-one camera work, aggressive verbal interaction and a full complement of gadgets, The Pope takes viewers on a dark journey he calls “a return to his roots.”

“There’s no artifice here,” he said. “What I’ve been able to do at Twisted Factory is to strip the process down to its core. There’s a rawness and a realness because it’s just me and the model. And so I can focus on the rope work, I can concentrate on the domination, I can engage the mental and physical in a really unadulterated way.

“I’m really proud of my past work, but Sadistic Rope has been unexpectedly intense and really powerful,” he added.

For the debut shoots on the site, Nikki Darling, Cherry Torn, Rain DeGrey and Bella Rossi submitted to The Pope’s signature combination of physical torment and orgasm denial. Sadistic Rope features extreme orgasms granted only after hours of hot wax, flogging, caning, paddling and cattle prodding.

“I’m really proud of how visceral the shoots are,” The Pope said.

Sadistic Rope and its sister sites — Chanta’s Bitches, Fucked and Bound, and Captive Male — pay a 60-percent recurring revenue share through the Bondage Bank affiliate program.
