    So is the kink here just being tied up, or being tied up in that specific way? 🤔

    Because I almost always see stuff with a very specific set of tied up positions. Like, it’s never just bound hands and feet. It’s always way more elaborate. I find being bound up, unable to move or act against someone doing what they please to be a turn on; but I wouldn’t care how I was bound. I’m now wondering if hibari or whatever it’s called has anything to even do with the being bound part, or if it’s more about the ropes and knots in and of themselves. Like latex vs inflation. One is about the material, the other just uses the material for another reason.

      This type of bondage is called shibari, and it’s different in the way you described. Regular bondage is about restricted movement, maybe cuffs or topless around wrists and ankles.

      Shibari is a Japanese form of rope bondage, it is a very slow and methodical approach, where the person being bound must (generally) submit quietly the whole time it’s being done.

      The aesthetics of the binding are important, it should look good, and also should work with the mechanics of the body.

      It can be used as a pleasant and beautiful decoration on top of clothing, as here, or can use the mechanics of the body to bind in such a way that the body’s own movements cause stress.

    Wanted to know the source of the right image, for reasons, and it’s from this website that “teaches rope bondage, shibari and other rope-related BDSM skills”:

    https://www.theduchy.com/

    I’m not gonna get anyones hopes up like I did mine about good content there, the website is self described as “Our focus is on education, not titillation, so this is a safe place to learn techniques without distracting sexual images.”

      I got really into shibari at one point and it’s really not necessarily about titillating. It’s really quite cool and when you’re doing it you almost can’t think about sex. Too focused on nerve points and the knots.

            This, for the person doing the binding, there should be constant focus and attention as binding in the wrong way can cause nerve damage.

            It’s… Less sexy and more… Satisfaction with creating art, especially of turning your property (sub) into art - amplifying their objectification.

    There’s no loop on the top of any of those controllers. Long term, that’s going to stress the connection.
