Shibari: What is it for women and men

The art of binding Shibari.

In 2015, information about the BDSM burst into the world media sphere. This happened after the release of the film “Fifty Shades of Gray”. Since then, the interest of society in “forbidden” practices is growing steadily. Clamps, whips, all this looks exciting. The imagination of the technique of binding is especially excited. The main one is Shibari.

What it is

Shibari is an erotic art of binding that appeared in Japan. The second name of the practice is Sibari, which translates as “interweaving”. Typically, a dominant man throws patterns on the body of a naked woman prone to subordination. But it happens the other way around. Active girls do not mind playing with their supple guys. The main tool is a natural or synthetic rope with a diameter of 6-8 millimeters.

Sensual practice is used not only for sex. She becomes a harmless hobby for people who like the aesthetic side of binding. They gain models, exercise in “twisting” nodes, take photos, conduct skill courses.

In the erotic context of Shibari – the component of the bondage practices. This is when one partner completely immobilizes the second. Men are attracted by the opportunity to make a woman defenseless. After all, with tied arms and legs, you can not run away. Therefore, you have to come to terms with the will of the main.

Story

Bondage came to our lives recently, it is divided into two parts:

1. Oriental.
2. West.

There are differences between them. These are sources of origin, unique development processes, historical factors. Fusion Bondage, also known as Western Bondage, is different from traditional forms that have come from the east. But Japanese practices are also not like each other. In the Land of the Rising Sun, there are the following areas of binding practice:

• Kinbak.
• Shibari.
• Hojojutsu.

Now there are handcuffs, and the ancient samurai had to tight. There were few iron mines, all metal went to military needs. How to fix the enemy so that he could not resist? Wise Japanese took a rope, and over the years of training they learned to completely immobilize the enemy. The masters took no more than 10-15 seconds for this. More than 150 schools of Khojojutsu appeared on the territory of Japan.

Each educational institution had its own fixation techniques. At the same time, the nodes were tightened more if the “victim” tried to break out. By the 19th century, the practice of combat has become erotic.

Three principles

During the implementation of BDSM practices, unforeseen situations may occur. Therefore, the community formed the rule of the BDR – safely, voluntarily, reasonable. Shibari has its own principles:

1. beauty. The rope strapping should be beautiful, with patterns.
2. Efficiency. “Bullets” – not decor. They fetter movements.
3. Japanese aesthetics. Full compliance with the Asian canons.

We’ll talk about the third point more. In the culture of the country of the rising sun there are aspects by which you can assess the level of aesthetics. Vabi – simplicity, asymmetry, naturalness with notes of rudeness. Sabi – the spirit of antiquity, calm loneliness. Yugen – aesthetics of mystical representations, charm of the otherworldly, mythical world. Kawai – something cute, childish.

The choice of a rope

The rope is the main Shibari tool. The sensations, durability and level of safety depend on her choice. We will answer the main question immediately: synthetics or natural materials? Better natural. Plastic has a low friction coefficient. It is too slippery. Therefore, you will have to fix the knot of each turn, otherwise the tension will loosen.

Synthetics can be used if there is nothing else at hand. But for beginners, this is an extra waste of effort. There is a risk of getting tired and no longer return to practice. We denote the materials for natural ropes in decreasing quality:

• Jute.
• Hemp.
• Linen.
• Cotton.

It is in that order. Jute – the most durable material. Cotton – quickly gets dirty and can break at the most crucial moment. A particularly unpleasant situation in the suspension of a model or partner. There is a risk of injury.

Dimensions

Standard dimensions are as follows: length 8 meters, diameter 6 millimeters. The first ropes came to the CIS countries from the West. Suppliers used just such parameters. If you choose the diameter less, there will be high pressure on the skin, if more, it becomes difficult to knit nodes.

Japanese masters measured the length like four distances. On average it turns out 7-8 meters. But this length is suitable for complex strands. Usually we need less segments. The rope can be cut into parts. Then the segments can be assembled into a single whole using nodes.

Preparation method

The ropes are made in two ways:

1. Torsion. Separate threads are simply twisted manually or on special machines.
2. Weaving. The segments are connected, braided like braids. In this case, the pattern is different.

The first option is better because more elastic. It is easier to make a fucker with a twisted rope, it lies on the body like a thick elastic band. The second type also provides fixation, but you have to spend more effort. You need to constantly pull and hold until the knot is ready.

The ends of the ends

It’s not about the ends that you thought about (joke). Shibari rope will have to be cut. The edges can be disheveled. It looks untidy and can make the device into disrepair. Therefore, the ends need to be fixed.

The edge of the synthetic rope is slightly slightly melted with a lighter. With natural it won’t work. The threads simply light up or will smolder like a cigarette. Therefore, we simply tie a simple knot as close to the edge as possible and tightly tighten it. Sticking threads can be carefully trimmed with scissors.

Care

While working with a naked body, physiological fluids will be on the rope sooner or later. This is an excellent nutritional environment for the development of bacteria. Therefore, the device must be processed after each BDSM session.

Japanese masters advise simply hanging a rope under the open rays of the sun. But we doubt that ultraviolet will cope with harmful microorganisms. Not too reliable disinfection option.

There is another advice – to process the rope with fire along the entire length. But where is the guarantee that the microbes will not remain in the very center, where the high temperature will not penetrate? So -so is a way.

In the conditions of a city apartment there is no place where you can hang a rope in the sun. And the processing of fire will take a mass of time. Therefore, the easiest way to disinfect is to wash in a typewriter. Before you throw the rope into the drum, it needs to be tied in a bay. Otherwise, you will take a lump from the car from the car, which will have to be covered for a long time.

Remember that the rope will “sit” after washing, like a product from any natural material. Therefore, it is better to dry with a slight load. For example, wrap a bottle of water to the edge.

There should always be sharp scissors in the arsenal of the master of Shibari. They are needed to quickly cut the rope if something went wrong.

Safety

Before starting practice, you need to take care of the security of the partner. There are a lot of diseases in which the body is contraindicated in the body. You must ask the future model several questions:

• Is there any cardiovascular disease? The core problems with blood circulation. You can’t squeeze the veins.
• Silicone implants are installed in the chest? If so, it is better to refuse the chest pressure, otherwise there is a risk of injury.
• Are there any diseases of the neck, spine? Cervical osteochondrosis – a clear contraindication.

Even allergies are dangerous. A person may begin an attack from inhalation of the microparticles of the natural components of the rope. Breathing problems are also a stop signal to start practice. The ropes squeeze the chest, making breathing.

Binding options

Usually masters do not work with a single rope, but double. It’s easier to fix the device on the skin. Here are examples of simple shibari binding for beginners.

For women

Bold girls are not averse to participating in the implementation of new practice. A feeling of immobility allows you to feel new erotic experiences. Even weak fixation can “pump” sensuality. Let’s start with a simple hips strapping. It is called Matanava. The main feature is the stimulation of the clitoris and perineum while walking. Here is a picture for clarity:

The implementation is quite simple:

1. We tie a double rope around the waist, make a half -star, leaving the free end.
2. We fix the free end. On the rope we make a node at the clitoris level.
3. Let the rope through the crotch. We start under the waist.
4. We pull the rope and make the knot. The model should not feel pain, inconvenience.

The strapping is ready. Now, with every movement, the knot on the rope will be rubbed on the girl’s clitoris.

For men

Guys relate to Shibari with less enthusiasm than girls. But if a partner dominates the pair, the strands fit into the logic of events. We suggest starting with a simple one – tie your hands to a man. In Japan, this is called Sibari’s flowers. Here’s how to do it:

We take a double rope in your hands. Then we carry out a strapping in steps:

1. We ask the guy to put his arms forward, as if for handcuffs.
2. Twat your wrists, remove the edges up.
3. We make a knot, then stretch out the short end under the clip.
4. We spread the long end in the short loop.
5. We extend the long end between the fists, start down and stretch under the plug.

Improval handcuffs are ready. Now a man is unlikely to resist the realization of passionate fantasies.
