Jhené Aiko

Maniac (Music Video)

"One of the things I love about creating visuals is that I get to act out my fantasies," Aiko says. "Shibari was something I've always found interesting and wanted to try. Being tied up in general is something I've always found exciting. I've always liked a little pain with my pleasure. Most of the props that I used in the 'Maniac' visual are actual sex toys that I bought myself, including the gag and restraints. Being tied up, gagged and caged were all treatment techniques used in asylums back in the day. Being tied up, gagged and caged are also forms of pleasure for some people ... who some may call crazy ... maniacs even."
