Tips for a Shibari Party

A bondage party is a great alternative for an original celebration. Instead of the typical Dance-Drinks-Dates reunion, you can surprise your friends with a rope-themed event. In this article, we offer some tips for a Shibari party that might be helpful for you.

First of all, make your party vanilla-friendly. That is, take into consideration that not everyone is kinky. Therefore, some people might need help at first to understand what a bondage party is all about. So instead of trying to convince your vanilla friend to try suspension all of a sudden, begin with something easy. It can be a single knot or a chest harness.

Hire professionals. You may be thinking about showing off your talent for ropes in front of your friends. However, when you’re giving a party, there are a dozen other things asking for your attention. And as you know, Shibari requires concentration. So instead of doing two things wrong, be a nice host and pay someone else to take care of the rope games.

Another important thing is to keep it simple and quick. After all, this is a party, and your friends don’t want to spend an hour watching how a scene is done from scratch. Instead, show them some basic “tricks” with ropes, something they’ll find sexy and fun. Then, go on with the party.

Another tip is to be educational. Most people still don’t know enough about Shibari. Tell them a little about the history of bondage, teach them a word or two, put a rope in their hands, and show them some pictures. The next bondage enthusiast might be hiding among your friends, and all they need is a little push in the right direction.

Finally, and this is always important, keep things safe and consensual. Don’t try anything too difficult, especially considering that people are having drinks and eating, and always ask for permission, even if it’s for tying a rope around their left wrist.

We hope you found useful these tips for a Shibari party.
