Rope Bondage and Shibari
What is Shibari?
Shibari is a Japanese style of rope bondage which draws its origins from a method of restraint and torture known as Hojo-jutsu. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Hojo-jutsu morphed into the erotic bondage known as Kinbaku, which translates as ‘the beauty of tight binding’ and eventually into modern Shibari.
A distinctive feature of this type of bondage is its aesthetic: in rendering the subject helpless, they are also transformed into a subject of beauty. Shibari bondage creates patterns with rope which contrast and complement the natural curves of the body. The art is found in juxtapositions of bare skin against rough rope, strength against exposure and a sense of calm within the constriction; the submissive therefore becomes the canvass, the rope is the medium and the I become the artist.
What I offer
Floor rope
In floor rope, as opposed to suspension, you’re going to be restrained while being on the ground. A hog tie can be an example of rope floor work. This type of bondage is suitable for anyone from a beginner to an advanced and experienced player. It all depends how strict I make it; how much rope is use and what position you’re in
Predicament bondage
You will be restrained in a bondage position that gives you an ability to shift from one uncomfortable position to another, relieving stress on one part of your body only to experience it in another, the two wickedly building in time together until there is no escape. The predicament is caused by muscle fatigue such as standing on your tiptoes which, if relieved by lowering yourself, only increases the pull of a rope on your genitals. then forces you to choose a more painful position!
Partial suspension
As the name implies, this is not full suspension but much of your weight will be held by the ropes while still permitting some contact with the ground. If you already have some experience with rope bondage and would like to find out whether a more stressful position is something you can maintain while we play, then this is an option I recommend.
Suspension
An advanced technique suitable for more adventurous players, and those with some previous experience with rope bondage, suspension bondage will have you floating—not literally, but you will feel like you are as I play with you while you are so ultimately helpless.
Rope bondage and BDSM play can work together
Depending on your interests, how strict the bondage is, and how experienced you are, I am always willing to add a few fetishes into the mix. These might be sensual sensation play including nipple play, body worship and sensory deprivation or something rougher like CBT and impact play.
Rope Workshops
Groups
I offer rope workshops for groups of up to four people, this is a slightly cheaper option than private tuition but can be very fun, educational and rewarding
Private tuition
If you’re wanting a rope lesson for yourself or as a couple this is ideal for you. I will show you techniques to enhance your sex life and in a safe but fun way. Private classes are the perfect way to develop your rope skills quickly as you will get my full focus for the time.
