Erotic art shibari: why and how to associate their partner

What is shibari

shibari art originates in the Japanese martial techniques binding Hojo-jutsu. Their goal was not only immobilize the prisoner, but also to emphasize its social status - it is used by different binding methods. With the end of war binding techniques moved to a normal life: women prisoners were replaced, and the process has become appreciated for the beauty of strapping.

Now shibari - it is primarily aesthetic mastery rope bandage, not devoid of meditative properties. And certainly, it has erotic overtones: Shibari can be used to fix the partner (usually, but not necessarily female). In addition, individual binding elements may affect its erogenous zone.

How to use this technique in their personal lives, everyone decides for himself. The main thing - remember that above all else, and mutual desire, especially at first, cautious. Everything else depends on your imagination.

How to choose a rope for shibari

materials

Ropes are of two kinds: natural and synthetic. The latter are more wear-resistant, but still are not the best option: they are worse than keep

node and can leave burns on the skin.

With ropes from natural materials all is not so simple. Cotton - very soft, but that it can be a challenge for thrill-seekers. Linen rope too soft, but sometimes can contain solid inclusions that can damage the skin.

Classics of the genre - jute rope. They are soft enough not to cause injury, but also to measure the rough man to feel fit.

Ropes for shibari may be made from other natural materials. Make choices based on their own feelings and the feelings partner. And better buy processed rope in specialized stores.

The size, length, number

In order not to get lost in a variety of sizes, start by selecting the rope of medium thickness: 6-8 mm. More subtle variations will not look so beautiful and strong bump into the body. With thick, work harder, and they are often used to distribute the heavy load (such as suspending, and it's not exactly the first step in Shibari).

As for the length, the two-three-meter ropes are useful for binding the hands and feet. Ropes 8-12 meters in length are used for strapping the chest and hips, and longer lengths of cloth needed for the binding of the whole body.

Number of pitches determined by the length (typically longer, the less necessary) and the number of nodes and binding density. Simply put, you can tie a knot in one short rope. But if you want to create a complex pattern, two or three need, and even more.

With what elements start

The basic elements of shibari - tying the arms, legs, chest, and fixing the whole body. It is better to start with something simple, using manual or your own imagination. In the end, Shibari - the art, the only correct binding techniques that do not exist.

Linking hands node "stirrup"

This node is reliable enough and not delayed by yourself, which reduces the likelihood of accidental injury. Better to start with him.

Fold doubled rope and connect to the node, as shown in the picture. Push partner wrist aperture, where the middle and ring fingers, and adjust the tension of the loop. The rope must be tightly pressed palms to each other, but not to cause pain.

Loop a few simple knots. They should lie flat, without an overlap.

Similarly, one can tie the hand wrist or link behind.

Foot binding

Tie a rope to the ankle lying back on the partner node "stirrup".

Ask your partner as much as possible to bend the leg at the knee, can be easy to move it more effort for a couple of centimeters. Rope wrap on the outer side of the thigh, and then the inner, back to the ankle.

Now skip rope under already lying round of nodes that hold the ankle tied. Make another circle around the legs, but in the opposite direction. It should neatly arranged on top of the first round with the same tension.

As in the previous case, skip rope under already lying round and again change direction. Next coil is put towards the middle of the thigh with a slightly smaller tension. Rope again does turn comes before the revolution, passed under it, and is conducted in the opposite direction.

Make a new round on the previous, close to him and with the same intention. In place of inflection skip rope under the previous round. Then secure the unit and away; down.

Now silent tighten the bottom two ropes round of the inside of the thighs, so that they fit snugly around the foot.

Final step: skip rope between the femur and tibia, hold its lower coils and with small back tension output. Secure the rope knot. Tying ready.

accident prevention

Possible problems

Nerve damage - one of the most frequent injuries. No less dangerous pinch vessels. Therefore, if a person has a problem with the nerves or blood vessels (or a predisposition to it), it is necessary to think again before practicing shibari.

Anyway, there is a point which should be treated with special care:

1. Radial nerve on the outside of the hand between the triceps and deltoid. It is better to put the rope below that area.
2. The brachial plexus in the axilla. This region is better not to use.
3. Neck. This area is also banned: can banal provoke choking.
4. Wrist. To communicate without too much pressure, to avoid damage to the nerves.
5. Femoral artery approximately 10 cm below the groin. It does not get too over-tighten ropes and knots.

Diabetes, asthma, joint problems or pressure - all this can also be a contraindication to shibari. Or, at least, should be informed in advance about these diseases.

Communication

Communication - an essential condition for any actions involving the restriction of movement. First, the partners must advance discussWhat they want, and to follow this arrangement. Trust - is the foundation of any such practices.

Secondly, in the process of binding the submissive (the one who linked) should give feedback: what posture and degree of fixation is admissible, whether the pain occurs, how it can be tolerated.

About the pain should be reported immediately, rather than waiting until it becomes unbearable.

In addition, the bound man can not be left alone. After the session, shibari need to be with a partner, to support it, if necessary. After binding to a variety of psychological reactions may occur in humans.

Necessary things

1. Scissors that in an emergency quickly cut the rope.
2. First aid kit if you need medical assistance.
3. Coat or blanket to throw it to a partner after the session.
4. A small supply of water and food: the binding process may be delayed, and after him good to eat.
