8th May 2021 – Introduction to Shibari

Happy weekend!

Today’s instructions are for anyone interested in experimenting with restraint play or shibari. Shibari is the ancient Japanese art of rope bondage.

When most people think of bondage, they have images of tied wrists or ankles, maybe a little hanging from the ceiling, too. In truth, shibari and rope bondage can be incredibly complex with plenty of complex harnesses and hogties possible if you have the desire to learn.

Today, we are going to experiment with self-restraint – using rope to tie yourself up rather than asking someone else to do it for you. There are several ties suitable for self-restraint, whether it’s an artistic harness or a simple ankle tie. I’m sure you’ll find something suitable!


Rules and Information:

  • You can orgasm at any time. As long as you have some rope, ribbon or other material tied around you.

  • You will need something to tie. Rope is the most suitable option. If you don’t have anything suitable but still want to take part, handcuffs or tape can always add an element of restraint to your play.

  • Ensure you have an escape route. You absolutely MUST ensure that you have a way out of whatever restraint you’re trying. That means keeping safety scissors and your phone nearby, as well as keeping in mind who you can call for help if something goes awry. If you are unsure how safe you are do not continue with your bondage session.

  • Use tutorials. Use these instructions to learn how to do this stuff properly. Remember to start simple. Don’t rush into complicated ties. There are great resources all over the internet including:

Instructions:

  1. Find somewhere comfortable to relax and experiment.

  2. Use the resources above to find a tie you’d like to try.

  4. Masturbate however you choose whilst you are tied up.
