Among the most interesting, sexy, and compelling things this blogger has seen, is Japanese Rope Bondage. This variant, upon the traditional “tie ‘em up and fuck with them” methodology, is graceful, intricate, and very sexy. Japanese rope binding is as much about the act of tying up someone (Shibari), as what you do to them once they’re bound. Much like Chado the famous tea ceremony, which takes hours, one is brought into an appreciation of precision, flawless execution, and the Now.
Pain is not the goal, and in its pure form, knots aren’t even used. The experience is a sensual submission to the process, which can take a while, and the Master. If done properly, there is little discomfort, as the weight distribution is perfect. The various strands apply pressure to the breasts, and the clit, and various sensitive bits. The constriction, or retention, of blood flow makes nipples achingly hard, and clits throbbingly responsive. Traditionally, 7 meter ropes are used, although 8 meter is more common in the West, due to the larger body types.
Shibari is an expansive world, rich and diverse, and with its own vocabulary. There is much see in our VOD Theater on this subject. Try it out on a loved one tonight.
