On the occasion of my coming of age birthday, I asked my uncle to tie me up. My uncle is a photographer, and I once secretly watched him at work. There, I saw girls in uniforms being photographed while bound with ropes—the scene was extremely lewd, the girls appearing both pained and strangely alluring. Imagining myself in their place made my body grow hot. The masochistic desires that had begun to stir within me... Today marks my passage into adulthood, and I'm trembling with anticipation, wondering exactly what this moment will be like.
