Recommendations For Your Shibari Experience

Shibari can be a great experience, but it involves mental and physical preparation in order to enjoy it. Here are some recommendations for your Shibari experience. No matter if you are an expert or a beginner, you will definitely appreciate them.

Stretching is the first recommendation for Shibari. Although Shibari not always requires flexibility, doing stretching exercises is a good idea. It is important to move around and stretch gently before bondage. This is in order to warm up your muscles, that way you will increase flexibility. If you know the tying position, you can concentrate the warm-up and stretch on the specific muscles of that position. Stretching will also help you muscles to circulate blood around your body, and it will prevent tingling and muscle ache.

Another recommendation for Shibari is to not skip your meals before any bondage session. Although being bound might not seem to require any major effort since you are static, it does require a lot of energy and can be quite demanding for your body.  It is important to have snacks and sugary drinks between ties or after bondage. Likewise, it is important to eat properly, not too much, and it is better if you avoid fast food, high carb diet and fat. It is better if you can have light meals before and after bondage, but it is not a good idea to skip meals.

Always make sure you drink plenty of water so you stay hydrated. Another recommendation for Shibari is to ensure the room is warm enough, especially if you will be naked during the Shibari scene. If you are cold, you will not enjoy bondage for as long as you would if you were warm. This is because the fluid in your joints will be thicker and the muscles will be less flexible. If you are being tied outdoors or in a cold space, make sure you wear something warm between ties and drink warm fluids.

These are the best recommendations for your Shibari experience.
