Shibari Fantasies

Kink is the realm of creativity. It is about developing your own particular tastes, instead of accepting the prevalent conventions. Consequently, fantasy is an essential element of kink. And bondage is no exception. In this article we explore some of the most common Shibari fantasies. Feel free to try them. And, especially, feel free to try your own.

Domination is, perhaps, the basis of most Shibari scenes. Even though consent must be explicit beforehand, many people dream about forcing someone else. Whether it is going back to the times of Hojojutsu, when rope bondage was a mean of torture, or setting up a master-slave scene, domination is one of the strongest forces behind kink. This is not surprising. After all, domination, even if socially unacceptable in most cases, is one of the deepest cravings of human psyche.

Unsurprisingly, submission is just as popular as domination. We are educated to be autonomous, capable individuals. And our society cherishes freedom of choice above everything else. And yet, submitting to someone else’s desires, becoming their servant, their toy, or their slave, is another hidden craving within many people’s deep personality. Even people who publicly advocate empowerment might hide a secret longing for submission.

Among the not so popular Shibari fantasies, stillness is one of the most common. In a noisy world that is always in a hurry, silence and stillness have become more valuable than before. Similarly, the possibility of capturing in ropes what would otherwise be a fragile instant, is also the driving force behind some Shibari scenes.

This list is not exhaustive. And the most important lesson you can take from this article is to apply your imagination to your bondage scenes, and find which fantasies are more appealing to you. Make Shibari your own and let your imagination run wild.
