Are there many Shibari fans on here?

it’s something we really enjoy and like to photograph to share with others, not really come across many profiles where there’s a strong Shibari vibe though

There are a few string flingers on here, not all into shibari, other forms of ropework are as valid

In kink everyone can self identify their activity.

However, sorry to be part of the Shibari police, but if you mean the Japanese erotic sadomasochistic rope practice, then, yes, I love it.

If you mean either tying pretty patterns with rope on a person, or so called "Western Rope" then no.

I have very few decent rope pictures on Fab for three reasons.

Firstly, stopping and taking pictures mid-scene breaks the connection. For me shibari is all about connection. Only occaisionally has it been right to stop and take a picture. There is one nice connected picture on my profile taken by a third party.

Secondly, I don't do rope just for a picture, although I have done rope for friends who want pictures in rope.

Third, as a single man you have to be in the picture. The last few pictures I posted were rejected by Fab because there was not enough of me in the picture. Rope pictures should (in my view) be about the model not the rigger.

I do have some pictures from kink/rope scenes on my FL profile.

Love the photos on FL. But as said above, sometimes I feel that it's more about "pretty" than connection. I have a few photos, but I think you need to be a certain body type to look good. I just want the connection, the feelings, the sensual slide of it. The after effects.

We adore it, we used to run a rope event in Yorkshire until covid hit. Have lost connection a little with rope but that's mainly due to time and life getting in the way, but love to get back in to it and maybe restart our peer event.

I would have to say yes, the connection is there before and after any playtime. Also on the comment about body shape - I would say that comes down to how the ropes are used

I go to rope jams in the area and have several rope friends.

For me rope is heavily trust based so I don’t play from here as nothing, for me, had ever been more than short term play. I need that deep trust and connection for suspension and extensive rope play.

When I explain it to someone who's never experienced it, I describe as, "bring like that celebrity dance show on TV where everyone ends up getting it on with their dance partner.

It's incredibly erotic with a partner.

If you look on FL, you'll find regular workshops nationwide.

For us it isn't. When we're doing anything moderately kinky, we are completely focused on the scene in front of us. Photos or anything else is not on the agenda. For us that is our time and we shut the door to the world outside. Which is why there aren't any kinky photos on our profile, only ones that hint and imply it.

My rope work is more practical then pretty. It comes from martial arts and restraint training as opposed to Shibari artistry.

I know it’s each to their own kink but I just don’t get it - why spend literally hours making beautiful patterned rope work? Are you trying to attain some kind of sexual release by doing it or having it done? I would find it a lot more pleasurable watching a lady do her hair and make up and dress in lingerie.

Are you trying to attain some kind of sexual release by doing it or having it done? I would find it a lot more pleasurable watching a lady do her hair and make up and dress in lingerie. "

To me this is part of the fundamental misunderstanding. If we talk about Shibari as the erotic sadomasochistic practice, then for me it is like any other kink. The pleasure is in doing something to someone with consent that enjoys it. It is not for everyone, but some people love the applying of restraint and the untying and the connection in that process. Shibari starts before the first rope goes on and finishes after the last rope comes off. It is about the process not the destination. It involves (like any kink) helping the person to release a particular desire in a safe and consensual away. I do one rope tying, job done in 10 minutes. I can do multi-rope tying and I give a minimum of 2 hours as when done right the time flies. I agree if it is done just to take a picture I would find it painful, and so that is not my style.

These days the word "Shibari" is applied to all kinds of practices. Tantric Shibari, Mindful Shibari, Performance Shibari. The central part is doing something to someone with rope. Whereas "Western Bondage: and "Damsel in Distress" bondage is either about restraint, or restraint whilst an implement is used, or to look pretty.

Pretty rope is not my thing, but I have seen it applied well and it can create an effect on the model being in rope and looking good.

But at the end of the day a clear discussion about the style of rope to occur is required and consent on both sides. But you either get it or you don't.

I would add in regard to another comment, the UK rope community is trying to attract all shapes and all genders and preferences. All Peer Rope events should be open and inclusive,most are. Sex does not occur at them they teach the basics and are a space to learn, explore and apply rope. There has been a huge increase in women tying. All shapes are capable of tying and being tied and looking good in rope.

Seriously it is not difficult unless you want to do the flash stuff and be really good. Also bedroom bondage is fairly straightforward.

I think it's my comment about body size you picked up on. I don't care about "looking good in rope" because it's not why it interests me. I don't care for photos being taken of me either.

I don't find my flesh bulging out of rope attractive. I don't see why anyone would want to see that publicly or in a photo. But that's my own insecurity, not trying to bodyshame anyone else. I think the way rope is mostly shown on a site like FL flatters slimmer bodies in the same way that some fashion is made that way. A lot of nymph styling/poses etc. That's changing and of course what I see is very biased as it depends who you follow. And I don't currently attend peer rope or anything similar although I see photos from events regularly. But I own my bias.

"[Removed by poster at 03/05/23 15:20:43]"
My last comment for the day. I agree with you there is a bias of showing standard model figures naked in rope. That is why I don’t go on K&P on FL. In my book most unbiased riggers tie all shapes and genders. It is a frequent complaint from women riggers there are not enough pictures of men in rope.

I have a load of pictures and videos of curvy Japanese women tied and being tied, the ropework is lovely. It is in the eye of the beholder, but it also comes down to the skill and interest of the rigger.

In all things life is personal and your view is valid. But I do find the rope world opens up when people get away from the concept of Shibari as pictures. My idea of a great scene is not a lovely picture or video,but my partner blissed out totally relaxed on the floor.

There is a great performance video floating around on the internet called something like "Ichinawa Esinem and Ilka Noir" which is more true to Japanese rope bondage.

I think many styles of rope play look amazing but I don't have the patience for it! I attend the local rope social as a quieter munch and haven't even considered going to the local classes. I admire people with the determination to learn the skill and enhance their play. Surprised by the folk who said FL involved hassle- it's much more of a community feel for me, I find Fab far worse for unwanted advances

I do follow some riggers who tie Japanese women and curvier models and men! Got sick of seeing the same look. I usually prefer to see someone tying and interacting - that's what I'm drawn to - that energy between them. I avoid K&P too I have been looking for a partner where I live, but haven't found anyone I'd feel happy with as yet.

it’s something we really enjoy and like to photograph to share with others, not really come across many profiles where there’s a strong Shibari vibe though "

We like to fanny about with it occasionally

"My rope work is more practical then pretty. It comes from martial arts and restraint training as opposed to Shibari artistry.

I know it’s each to their own kink but I just don’t get it - why spend literally hours making beautiful patterned rope work? Are you trying to attain some kind of sexual release by doing it or having it done? I would find it a lot more pleasurable watching a lady do her hair and make up and dress in lingerie. "

There are so many directions to go with rope.

I've shown some aesthetic pics on my profile because it looks nice, it would hopefully show that I spend a bit of time and effort learning the skills and I don't have a bunny round every night of the week, so I can practise on my mannequin whenever I'm in the mood.

For play, "free roping" is my preferred choice but this can't be portrayed well just with photos, or even on videos.

You have to watch a couple in a relantionship practise it to fully get the feeling of it

I love shibari, the art of it is amazing. I can't wait until we have the time and I can teach Mr as I'd like him to work the rope on me

I must be missing something, it looks like MACRAME with no clothes. You could make a wicked looking plant pot holder.

You should see how hot my potted crocuses look when they're bent over in an HwG Paris Marquise hip harness!

Phwoar!

We have been experimenting/learning with some rope play, really enjoying it.
