Inclusive Shibari

Some people, due to their physical conditions, might find it difficult to practice certain activities. That is, it is difficult to include them in such activities. On the other hand, activities which allow many different types of persons to practice them are considered more inclusive. Nowadays, practically all Western societies emphasize inclusivity. And that’s a good thing. That’s why today we’d like to talk about inclusive Shibari.

Within this context, it is possible to say that Shibari is very inclusive. First of all, people of practically all ages can practice it. And people of any gender can assume either of the main roles: top or bottom. People with health problems or less skills can still practice simpler, safer bondage scenes. And the content and narrative of the scenes is adaptable to any social and cultural background.

People with diminished skills, whether visual, auditive or of motion, can still practice Shibari. Other than the standard health concerns and the mandatory safety measures, these people don’t require special conditions for their scenes.

Shibari might be one of the friendlier ways to step into kink, for those unfamiliar with alternative tastes and sexuality. Other BDSM practices can be more intimidating for the newcomer, whereas Shibari can start with something as familiar as having your wrists tied.

There is only one kind of people who better step away from Shibari, and that is reckless people. Shibari demands concentration and a strong, unnegotiable commitment for the safety, welfare, and satisfaction of all participants involved. Therefore, people who are careless and impulsive will certainly find rope bondage unsuitable for their personality.

If you are a person with disabilities that prevent you from practicing other activities, you might want to give Shibari a try. Most workshops emphasize how welcoming they are. And, if you find the right instructor, it can be a journey full of discovery and satisfaction.
