Shibari Rope Bondage

« Blog

---

I have long been interested in the Japanese art of rope bondage, Shibari. I started out by just wanting a versatile way of restricting a sub's movement in more creative ways as part of a larger play session. My first ever tie was a basic chest harness that I learned from watching Youtube videos. From here I grew more interested in what else I could do with rope, so I attended some rope bondage workshops run by some friends locally and then a weekend course at Anatomie Studios in London. 

Over the years my skill set has grown, I can use rope for severe and tight restrictive bondage as a rough and fast take-down, as part of a sensual erotic play, or to create beautiful intricate patterns for the fun of it.

I have loved using rope in innovative ways to personalise a play session to a sub's physical requirements and individual fantasies. 

I have used a variety of ropes and each have their strengths and weaknesses. When choosing rope you need to take into consideration a number of factors;

• How strong it needs to be -if you're planning on doing suspensions the rope has to be reliably strong for safety, quality is everything.
• If you're using it with one partner only or a variety of people; when using it with multiple people you need to think about hygiene and how you're going to clean the rope. Some ropes wash better than others.
• Whether you want to do pretty intricate ties, quick and fast ties, or tight fitting bondage ties - These factors affect the diameter you will need.

I have been using rope from Esinem for a number of years now. I have linen hemp and black dyed jute. I love the rope, and it's lasted far better than other brands!
