3 Signs that Shibari Is for You

Have you ever wondered whether bondage might be an option for you? We usually think of lifestyles as a matter of vanilla versus kink. However, it is far from being that simple. Just as there are different degrees and variations of what we usually group as vanilla, kink is also an extremely diversified phenomenon. Among the many options available, bondage is one of the most popular. However, how can you know if ropes are calling you? Here we point out 3 signs which indicate that Shibari might be exactly what you need to improve your lifestyle.

The first sign that Shibari is for you is that you enjoy tying. Moreover, you enjoy either the power that stems from it, or the vulnerability of allowing yourself to be tied. Domination and vulnerability are the two poles of any power dynamic. Therefore, if you enjoy placing yourself at either of them, that’s a strong sign of the kinkiness within you.

The second sign is that you enjoy watching rope scenes. That is, you like to watch them just as you would gladly contemplate a painting or a sculpture. If all you see in a scene is people and a mess of ropes, then Shibari is not for you. Likewise, if, when presented with a Shibari scene, you see art, motion, feelings, and such, it is a clear indication that this is your kind of thing.

The third sign is that you like to do things that demand patience and discipline. If you are one of those “I want it all, and I want it now” kind of people, Shibari is not for you. The shortest Shibari scene takes at least 20 minutes. And when you try something more complex, like suspension or rope dresses, you better be ready to spend hours doing it. Moreover, only responsible and focused individuals should practice Shibari.

So, if you enjoy one of the extremes of the power dynamic, and you like watching rope scenes, and you are patient and disciplined, these are 3 signs that Shibari is for you.
