Depends if you want to be tied up or be the one doing the tying up! the first requires you to sit still, not be claustrophobic and be able to let someone else take control completely (which requires trust). The latter requires some skill with rope and knowledge on what you are doing (you could do serious damage if you cut off someone's circulation for example).
Having explored the latter, it's labour, time and knowledge intensive (need to remember a lot of things and takes a lot of prep), requires patience but looks good. Seen it bliss a few ladies out.
Seems to be something I see more men doing to women. Youll have more success looking into it on other sites i can not mention here but they appeal more to a fetish lifestyle.

We adore rope and used to run a peer rope group.
If you want to get in to it properly don't rely on youtube videos, they won't sure the correct tension, teach you the correct safety, where on the body is safe to lay rope or anything like that.
Best bet is get on that FETish LIFEstyle website and use the calendar, there is loads of peer rope groups up and down the country. |

"We have a photo uploaded with boobs tied, we are very amateur, but its great for foreplay xxx
where did you learn or is it just trial and error?"
Lots of good books on the subject and videos on line , main thing is be careful as ropes in the wrong places can cut of circulation so good to have something ready to cut them for fast removal |

To be honest the circulation point is not such a big issue unless you are cutting of the circulation for hours. A bigger issue is nerve damage.
The definition I use of shibari is that it is "sadomasochistic erotic practice" and modern shibari has particular hallmarks. However, rope bondage is whatever you make it.
My own view is that person being tied does not have to sit still or you get "bored bunny syndrome", and most people I tie would brat if told to be still. Shibari is about heart not necessarily D/s dynamics.
Rope can be about both the rigger and the bottom expressing themselves.
OP has not said whether they tie or want to be tied.
These days there is a lot of focus on bottoming in rope going beyond checking the rigger has shears.
As someone said there is a number of peer ropes across the country. Some require verification before you can attend. So best to check.
These days there is huge amount of information on rope bondage. As said previously by others it is always best to get in person training. |

Sorry I never said. I’d like to be tied myself but it has to be someone i have been with before and trust 100%
That being said I will try some very basic rope play on myself around my cock and upper legs but obviously only stuff I can do myself and I wouldn’t be able to completely restrain myself in that way which is a shame.
If a play mate of mine ever wanted tying themselves I’d be so glad to do that for them also. Have them tied, restrained, unable to move and deliver them pure pleasure. |

Just tied my cock and balls. Albeit very amateurly and I know not with the right ropes before I get crucified haha.
Was a great feeling though and my orgasm was so intense with my cock bound. Definitely I’ll try this again |

I would suggest looking at going to a local swamp meet, find out when they do rope classes. It's always a good place to start.
Real shibari takes years to master and it is a fine art form. I used to do it years ago, I've still got my rope, I just prefer doing suspension play (we have a pic up on)
There is another website more suited for that information but can't mention it on here |

Shibari and hojojutso are two different types of rope activity.
Shibari is play between two people whereas hojojutsu is a martial art whose aim is capture eith rope and enforced compliance with rope.
Shibari locks the rope at certain points to prevent painful cinching. Hojojutsu does not lock the rope to deliberately cause pain and to discourage struggling. That being said parts of shibari derive from 19th century Japanese judicial punishments (suspension, ebi (prawn) tie, the press (i.e. slabs of stone on the knees of kneeling people). Parts of hojojutsu have been incorporated into shibari as some of the shibari grandmasters were interested in it, as an example the "hojo cuffs".
Shibari can be tied to be restrictive. I would also recommend Western bondage, in particular "damsel in distress" bondage which is classic form of Western tying to immobilise people. Google images of David Annis's cartoons, you also need a broad sense of humour.
In terms of learning and starting, I compare it to playing an instrument, picking up usable basics does not take long. To be really good in my experience is not the years devoted but the hours devoted to it. It really helps if you start with a partner.
Finally, self tying has become really huge and there is information out there on how to tie and suspend yourself. Shay Tiziano has information and a book on self suspension.
Shibari is more than pretty patterns.
I hope this is not a lecture! |
