Sex is Art
​
Infernal Desire Machine was born out of our desires, and a way of proudly inhabiting our erotic in shared spaces.
​
Our rituals are rope / Shibari focused, often involving suspension bondage combined with a variety of theatrical elements and kinetic arts; bound into a narrative of dream and vision.
​
We invite you into our journeys - our magical spaces, authentic invocations of our primal selves, Mythic theatre born of our shared desires, spirituality and philosophy. We believe that sex can be artistry, that creative passions can find expression in our carnal conditions; that connection can take many forms; that the performative is an externalisation of internal authenticity.
​
Sex is Resistance
​
We are unashamed in our depictions and displays of the erotic; we believe that the erotic should be honoured, and that recognising the validity of myriad forms of its expression is deeply core to our authentic and healthy existence.
​
We are unashamed, but our narratives cover the societal experience of shame, through the patriarchy, through ancestral truama, through judeochristian morality systems.
WOVEN IDOLS
Becoming one with all...
Our practice is rooted in the primal,
the dance of desire that is the truth of our nature.
​
Our rituals honour land and seasons
as much as our internal landscapes. ​​
​
Woven idols incorporate the natural world into our bindings,
turning the body into a canvas of
ropes, branches, leaves and flowers.
​
PRIVATE WORSHIP
​
We offer Woven Idols as a bespoke private ritual.
Taking elements of your desire and intentions,
the bounty and callings of the seasons, weaving them into your form.
Photography to capture the moments can also be arranged.
We love posting the evidence of our rituals on our social media,
with your consent.
PUBLIC RITUAL
IDM welcome all invitations to perform public rituals of a variety of incarnations.
​
We can also work with you to create a Woven Idols ritual in real time,
as performance, as public ritual.
​
We can provide the canvas, or work with the bodies provided.

SAI JAIDEN LILLITH
Sai has been involved in the performing arts since 1995,
and in the sex industry since 2016.
​
A professional rigger in private sessions and public performances, they have been dancing in the ropes
and practicing the art of Shibari since 2017.
​
Beginning in the more performance aesthetic based Akechi Denki school of Shibari, Sai has incorporated many other varieties of rope bondage styles and esoteric philosophies into their own modern, deeply connective style of Shibari.
​​
A genderfluid lifestyle switch, their performances are never rooted in an assumed power or gendered dynamic.
​
A fierce dreamer and devoted to a life of artistry, agency and advocacy, their passions for their art, partners and connection
burn bright in the Witnessing.
EVE X
Eve has been a devotee of the erotic arts from the early days of their sexual awakening, entering the sex industry in 2000,
and embracing movement practices, performing arts
and the esoteric throughout their life.
The Wild Woman, Eve X embodies the fierceness of the primal,
the dangerous feminine, the ravenous black widow.
​
Chronic illness has been their constant companion, with a variety of physical conditions which challenge their corporeal existence; the overcoming and embodiment of this aspect forms a part of their practice, instead of being hidden from it.
​
Still, they refuse to be defined, and their genderfluid, switchy energies integrate and dance with a multitude of forms and archetypes.​
“I desire therefore I exist."
