Are you an art lover? Are you attracted to BDSM games?
And what about combining these seemingly distant industries?
If you think that is not possible, you will be pleasantly surprised and misled!
In Japanese, the word Shibari simply means "to bind."
This practice is based on the "Hojōjutsu" method of combat tying, which has its roots in Japan.
This tying served the samurai as a method of restricting the movement of prisoners. This type of rope treatment was subsequently linked to kinbaku, an erotic practice of rope slavery.
In this case, however, it is not ordinary slavery that we know from erotic practices. This style does not support the feeling of helplessness and humiliation of the bound person, although in some cases submissive individuals would certainly like it.
Shibari, on the other hand, promotes the beauty and uniqueness of the bound person.
It focuses mainly on the art, beauty and geometry of the tying style.
Thanks to the geometric shapes, grace and the way the rope is guided, this Japanese practice can be considered a cosmetic treatment.
Beauty also lies in strong contrasts.
Bare skin against a rough rope, strength against submission, a feeling of calm despite great risk. Tempting and exciting, am I right?
Origin of Shibari
The Japanese local police and Samurai used Hojōjutsu, a style of combat bonding, as a form of imprisonment and torture from 1400 to 1700.
However, the honor of these ancient samurai warriors required that they treat their prisoners in an acceptable manner.
Thus, they used techniques to tie the detainees that did not offend the honor of the prisoners.
Instead, they tried to highlight their present status and character.
Shibari became more popular internationally around 2000 with access to the World Wide Web.
You also know the film 50 Shades of Gray, which brought even more awareness about tying techniques.
However, it is possible to observe the difference that in normal erotic bonding, individuals focus more on the limbs and their immobilization.
Shibari is different. This practice tends to focus more on the torso area.
In this way, roles are also exchanged in a way.
The person who manipulates the rope is the one who gives up and trusts his partner.
If the individual being tied crosses any boundaries, the injury is ultimately attributed to the person controlling the rope.
Mysterious arrangement
Placing the knots in suitable places stimulates pressure points, much like the acupuncture techniques of Japanese massages.
The experience results in increased levels of endorphins and other hormones.
Among other things, this technique evokes, in some cases, an altered state of consciousness, ie a feeling of trance.
If you want to try and feel the beauty of Shibari, you have the opportunity!
Everything can be learned, it just takes time, patience, precision and a suitable partner.
It is out of the question to at least learn the basics about the background of this art.
In addition, appropriate safety precautions must be taken.
Shibari is risky, requiring precision and attention to detail.
The most important thing is the material.
It is necessary to buy a quality binding rope, which is available in specialized stores.
The basic elements include the binding of the arms, legs, chest and the overall fixation of the whole body.
It's better to start with something simple, using manuals, videos, online tutorials or your own imagination.
After all, Shibari is an art, there is no single right technique.
But caution is a must!
Nerve damage is one of the most common injuries.
It is not a good idea to have scissors on hand at all times.
In case of emergency, they can prevent a catastrophe.
Neither of you consume alcohol or drugs.
Do Shibari in a good and pure state of mind and body.
For a full experience in advance, fully satisfy all basic needs.
In other cases, try to rely on your balance, train and have fun!
