Japanese Rope Bondage is often called Shibari or Kinbaku. Shibari means “to bind” and Kinbaku means “tight binding”. Kinbaku, unlike the Western bondage, is not a practice, but a real discipline. It involves what the Japanese call “Kokomo” meaning “the heart, spirit and mind”. Read the article and learn how to do a Kinbaku session.

Japanese Bondage is not only a form of restraint but a real artistic expression. The rigger creates a sculpture by shaping the human body through ropes. A Kinbaku session is a Power exchange session through the use of ropes between a rigger and a bottom. The rigger, in Japanese Kinbakushi, builds the session on the basis of what the bottom inspires and suggests.

During a Kinbaku session, the bottom experiences strong emotions. These can be initially difficult to manage, especially for a beginner. For a bottom, relying on a rigger is an act of confidence, in which the bottom trust the rigger as a person who will take care, physical and emotionally of the bottom. Although restraint can feel liberating for some, others might feel a little stressful and insecure, especially if it is your first time.

For a bottom, the feeling of the pressure of the rope on the skin and body, produces a strong release of endorphins, and produces a great sense of relaxation and abandonment.
A Kinbaku session always depends on whether the emphasis is erotic or aesthetic.  A Kinbaku session simply feeling the sensation of the rope passing all over the body from the rigger with intensity and passion, as if the ropes where the extension of his hands, may cause too many people the experienced called “rope-space”, which is a state of close trance in which the body and mind are completely in a state of grace and abandon.

In a Kinbaku session, you will experience several emotions. It can be the most wonderful and exciting experience in your life.
