Erotic in Shibari – Bottom’s Survey

A lot has been said about the erotic value of Shibari. That’s why we decided to ask both tops and bottoms what it is they find so sexy in rope games. The results are quite revealing about what we find erotic in Shibari – Bottom’s survey.

Roger is a financial executive who practices bondage with his partner on a monthly basis. He says: “In the office, I make the calls, and everything is my responsibility. In the studio, on the other hand, I can just let go, and let my partner do all the work.  It’s such a relief! I would like to do it more often, but I’m a very busy man.”

Melinda works as a preschool teacher.  Unbeknown to the people she works with, she plays bottom for a rigger during the weekends. Here’s what she said: “At first, I did it for the money. I love teaching, but it’s not the most lucrative job in the world. However, once I learned to play bottom for my rigger’s exhibitions, I found it quite enjoyable. I mean, I have a boyfriend and all that. It’s not like I have a relationship with my rigger. But my boyfriend gest very excited to see me all tied up. And exhibitions usually have a happy ending.”

Denisse has just begun taking her first steps into Shibari. She’s eighteen, and sometimes she skips going to the gym and goes to a studio, instead, to get herself tied. In her own words, “I might not be underage anymore, but I think there are many ways to live your sexuality. I find bondage more satisfying than intercourse, because, even when I’m playing bottom, I’m in command of the scene, and everything has to be the way I like it. That makes me feel powerful, even if I’m all tied up.”
