The "Dragonfly" is a wonderfully simple, yet decorative arm- or leg-binder and is endlessly adjustable for every body. The "Pentagram" or "Star Harness" has long been one the most requested decorative harness tutorials. Tied here using a 40ft length of 6mm rope The act of tying can be very sensual for both Rigger and Model. It's initmate, it involves trust and communication. It also involves closeness, as the Rigger wraps the rope, and threads the rope to make knots, bodies can brush, breath can be felt, fingers trace the lines of the rope on the body as they even out the pattern and paying attention to the skin underneath. For the model the sensation of pressure of the rope and the pulling of arms and legs can be arousing as you feel yourself giving control over to your rigger. You'll need to establish which role you want to do; rigger, model or switch - where you've guessed it both you and your partner switch between the roles. You may find you only want to rig or model, if you practise Shibari with multiple partners you might like different roles in different partnerships ... there really are no rules ... well except for these below ...
We don't have all the answers ... but we can share some hints, tips and links to other resources that you might find useful. She also adds that the social media side of Shibari can purposely make Shibari ropes look overly complex, but if it suits you, Shibari beginners are welcome to tie whatever ropes they can manage, and giggle their way through the process. It doesn’t have to be a serious situation. "You don’t have to study and master complex forms that might not even be healthy for you or your partner’s body. A few basic ties and maybe a simple body harness [which you can learn from coaches online or in a beginner’s Shibari class] is fine, good, and hot for most people." The first thing to learn is a little terminology (as this will make the rest much easier to understand!). Shibari requires two people ... the person who is doing the tying and the person who is being tied. The one doing the tying is commonly referred to as either the 'Rigger', or the 'Top' (We'll go with Rigger).

For people who don’t buy into those problematic narratives today, they can enjoy Shibari as part of their own variation of kinky bondage play," she assures. "Is Shibari a spiritual practice in Japan? No. Might some Shibari lovers in Japan and the rest of the world find moments of emotional catharsis in Shibari? Sure. Do some of these folks make it their own form of spiritual exploration? Yes." But she stresses that this isn’t unique to Shibari. It’s been so for people who enjoy other forms of kink, such as leather bondage, flogging, ordeal play, and dominance and submission — to name a few. The Twisted Monk is dedicated to providing welcoming, friendly, and practical information and educational material. Our Getting Started videos cover a variety of basic ties to provide you with a myriad of possibilities. We are proud to provide not only great rope but also engaging, clear, and easy to follow instructions. Hojo-jutsu took on a new, erotic form in the late 19th Century and became Kinbaku (Kinbaku-bi translates as ‘the beauty of tight binding’) – in today’s western world, it’s called Shibari. You're about to put a lot of time and effort toward learning to tie. For many, tying becomes a defining part of who they are. Being tied can be one of the most profoundly sensual and moving experiences of a lifetime. You'll be the one giving that experience to people.
Ultimately, Shibari is about consensually tying each other up for fun and sexual pleasure. "It shouldn’t be intimidating or aggravating," she says.Don't do Shibari drunk, you both should always be awake, aware and sober. As a rigger you need to notice any signs of discomfort - you have your models life quite literally in your hands. And as a model, being restrained in unusual positions (and when you advance being suspended) can cause strain on the body and this doesn't mix with alcohol. If you can afford it, please get enough rope so you can be the rigger you want to be, not the rigger you are right now.
Get enough rope so you can reach your full potential. Get enough rope so that your partners can experience how amazing you are. In reality, the BDSM community centres play of any kind around consent, respect and communication. And that’s especially true with Shibari. What is Shibari?
Safety first
Viewers of House of Hammer will understandably have questions about Shibari and Kinbaku, but those shouldn't be answered by someone accused of committing acts of sexual violence. There are dangerous implications with allowing Hammer, an alleged abuser, to define and discuss any form of BDSM — and to conflate consensual sexual practice with abuse. But today, Japan, Shibari is enjoyed by consenting adults in their private sex lives, as well as stage performances in kink-themed bars, and of course in porn. And it’s catching on in the West too, with kink and fetish clubs in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe embracing Shibari in play. It’s even got a thriving TikTok community. Why are people into Shibari? Shibari requires negotiation and consent from both parties. In them, you talk about rules and limits before the scene. A safety word is something that you must not forget. This comes in handy in case the bottom is feeling numbness, pain, or discomfort. When this happens, you use the safety word to stop the session.
