What is Shibari you ask? Well, the word Shibari refers to exclusively to the practice of using rope or rope like material to bind yourself or a partner
Why would you do this… Rope play can bring a higher connection with yourself or another person and can be a very intimate & sensual bondage.
The beauty of tight bounding started in the mid-14th century and originally came from Japan as a form of torture restraint that morphed into the BDSM world as an erotic bondage in the late 19th early 20th century. Shibari Rope play is often used as a form of meditation and relaxation as well and needs trust and open communication with both the binder and the one being bound.
Which is the best rope to use?
This all depends on the person as everyone’s sensation levels are different, but cotton, polypropylene, nylon and hemp are amongst the top choices.
